Patronize Nigerian made goods

As I watch silverbird television the other day, I saw Senator Ben Murray Bruce speaking on why it's important to patronize Nigerian made goods especially now that we are in a recession. Some of what he said includes:
Boarding Arik air if we are travelling oversea except for countries Arik cannot access.

Use only cars assembled in Nigeria.
Buy only Nigeria products
Instead of going to London or the USA (thank God Trump is now the President elect. Pray he makes good his threat and send those good brains home to better our lots here), we can decide to visit mabilla plateau or the ubudu cattle range or any other resort around the country.
Until we value that leather shoe from Kano, that school/hand bag from Aba, the Naira will find it difficult to survive.

In priority, a schedule is also important. When we ask the necessary questions, it would help us know how prepared we are for every idea we intend to implement less we start and encounter problem not anticipated. Some ideas are best implemented now than allowing them to wait while some are bet...
