Story -Effect of Made In Nigeria to Nigeria

Mr David Ahmed Okoro started the day early, having set his alarm clock (made in Finland) for 6am. While his teapot (made in China) was perking, he shaved his beards with his clipper (made in Hong Kong). He put on his shirt (made in the UK), and designer jeans (made in Italy ) and a matching shoe (made in 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. Afterwards he sets his wrist watch (made in Taiwan ), puts off his radio (made in Vietnam ) and headed straight to 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 while checking his computer (made in Malaysia), Mr David Ahmed Okoro decided to go

Story - The Meat Hunter and The Meat Seller...

Ebele Ogbuanu the Hunter goes in the bush, kills a very big Antelope and sells it to

Mama Ngozi who sells pepper soup. He sold the game for N1,000, he told mama

Ngozi to make sure the pepper soup is well made because he is coming along with his friends in the evening to enjoy themselves. When they got there that evening, they ordered for plates of pepper soup. Ebele bought the head for N500, he bought the four legs for his four friend at N500 each, another person ate the intestine as assorted, he paid N500 for it, three other people also ate N500 worth of pepper soup each. The hunter ended up spending N4,500 to buy what he sold to Mama Ngozi for N1,000. Mama Ngozi made a cool N3,500 profit just by cooking (processing) the meat and selling it back to where she bought it from. That is 350% profit and yet she still had excess remaining to sell to other customers. So who is wise and who is foolish here?

Let us relate this story to our dear

Open Counsel To CBN - FOLA DANIEL ADELESI

10 Feb 2016 This Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) & its leadership is ruining the cashless policy campaign they initiated. You want a cashless economy but you

   1.     Put extreme daily withdrawal limit on account and that affects businesses so some prefer not to take the money to the banks

   2.    Make us pay for ATM cards that are free in some countries.

   3.    Charge N100 card maintenance fee for card that is in the customer’s hand.

   4.    Charge COT on all transactions.

   5.    Charge N50 naira stamp duty on all transactions now. No one understands the essence of this. You get a mail from your bank and implementation takes effect immediately! Who does that, except in Nigeria? And, there are no consequences!

   6.    Charge N65 naira when you use other banks’ ATM 3 times. This charge was reversed by former CBN governor,  Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, who is now
