It is a privilege to come your
way again. I greeted you in Ishan language of Edo State, Nigeria, this means,
“My People.” I am glad that we have the opportunity of seeing into the future
through our positive outlook to situations and event. I also use this medium to
sympathize with all those who lost their livelihood to different fire outbreak
in the last one week. May the Lord grant you a speedy free start.
Being a Nigerian, I have grown up
to know that Nigerians consume a lot. New brand berth in the country annually
and in some few years, they are already making profit that exceeds that of
their homeland. Unfortunately, before their arrival, Nigerians in the same line
of business are not reckoned with or such business goes into extinction.
Truthfully, how do we evaluate the lifestyle of Nigerians?
A consumer nation is a greedy and self-centered nation. Such nations consume all that come their way. Since the advent of the
cellphones into the Nigerian market; every company that produces phones have
made fortune out of our country. It has been discovered also that a lot of the
Nigeria subsidiaries are franchise of companies that exist in other parts of
the world invited by wealthy Nigerians so as to make gains. This consuming
attitude would have led to the development of different economic policies.
A productive nation is a nation
that known to particular about giving something back to the world. There are
countries that are known to producing certain items, for example France is
renowned for wines; Turkey for clothing; Dubai as a tourist destination. The
rate at which a country produces is a function of her innovation and
thoughtfulness. There are many great resources around us in Nigeria largely
underutilized.
The challenge is that we should
put on our creative caps. For us in the developing countries, we know that
there is no electricity; the enabling environment is not there; government
policies are not helpful but we still have a role to play in who we eventually
become in life. Do not make financial benefit your only priority. Do all within
your reach to produce something little daily for it will amass into greatness
you have always envisaged.
Be productive and do not be a
consumer alone!
Cheers!
