HERE COMES THE JOB MADE IN NIGERIA. John Sadiq started the day early, having set his alarm clock(MADE IN FINLAND) for 6am. While his teapot(MADE IN CHINA) was perking, he shaved with his clipper(MADE IN HONG KONG). He put on his shirt(MADE IN THE UK), and designer jeans(MADE IN ITALY) and shoes(MADE IN THE USA). After cooking his breakfast in his new electric cooker(MADE IN INDIA) he sat down with his calculator(MADE IN MEXICO) to see how much he could spend today. After setting his watch(MADE IN TAIWAN) to his radio(MADE IN VIETNAM) he got in his car(MADE IN GERMANY) filled with petrol imported from (SAUDI ARABIA) and continued his search for a good paying NIGERIAN job.
At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day checking his computer(MADE IN MALAYSIA), John Sadiq decided to relax for a while. He put on his slippers(MADE IN BRAZIL) poured himself a glass of wine(MADE IN SOUTH AFRICA), while fiddling with his mobile phone(MADE IN SOUTH KOREA), and then wondered why he cant find a good paying job in... NIGERIA
Fellow Nigerians, lets us start producing, let us start buying made in NIGERIA goods. If our economy is to grow and better jobs created, we must cease from being an economy that is all about consuming(Importing), and become more of a producing(Exporting) economy.
We must also change our mind set from over-patronizing foreign products to the detriment of our own local brands. Let's go back to the land to grow and patronise made in Nigeria products. Let's stop insatiable appetites for foreign foods and products.

Please share, spread the message. Lets build a strong economy for ourselves and our generations to come.
