Forget The Politicians, Look What We Nigerians Are Doing To Ourselves! by leonard509(m): 1:04am On Apr 20, 2020
Me and you(above 20yrs of age) would've been worth more than #2.5 million, but na Nigeria we dey and we dey Mumu ourselves.
In 10 years our dear country(ME and YOU) spent $696,615,850,000~($696.6...Billion Dollars)
on importation of every damn thing we use in this country, that's #278,646,340,800,000~ (#278.6...Trillion Naira).

Divide the above mentioned by our population(200million people) and each person(from 1day to 100yrs of age, from the richest to the poorest begger, from the healthiest to the bed ridden, from the most decorated scholar to the least educated, every damn citizen)
is supposed to be worth #1,393,231~(#1.39million Naira per 10yrs).
I.e a 10yr old child is supposed to be worth at least that much, a 20yrs old twice as much, 30yrs old thrice as much and so on...

We are supposed to be worth that much not necessarily in cash alone but in many different things like: access to good roads, quality health care, quality education, security/peace, food, etc.

But nooo, we fool ourselves with things from overseas, from what we wear to what we eat, from technology to medicine. We don't take responsibility for anything in our lives and surroundings. We believe all we need do as humans is believe in God/Allah and worship them nonstop, read their texts and copy and paste it in our memory, fight their wars/ourselves/evangelize/win souls for "heavens".

Let's Continue fooling Ourselves!

change your preference on as many levels as you can... encourage development and consumption of indigenous products like kunnu, soya milk, zobo, nunu etc over their carbonated counterparts...
