This is from 1984. None of these problems have been solved.

The quality of English spoken in Nigeria decades ago reflected a time when education was treated as a genuine national priority. Today, the contrast is hard to ignore, standards have slipped, and it shows in how people communicate. It’s a reminder of how far our educational system has drifted from what it once aimed to be.

That's 42 years ago... common this is painful

Goes to show that our parents were thinking of industries capable of producing at larger scale and competing with global industries. In the present generation, Nigerians are competing with against each other region bs region and tribe vs tribe. No global view

Again , the country is working exactly as they wanted it to work.

This is why I hate government apologists so much. They are being gracious to a ruling class which hasn't solved any problem since 1960.

I watched a video of Nigerians queuing for fuel in 1975 due to scarcity

They soon started selling those import licences on the black market to the highest bidder. Creating powerful import monopolies that decimated local industries, compounded by a lack of investment as the oil boom took off. Nigeria quickly became an import state till date.

Just looking at the roads, trucks, facilities, diction of the speakers etc; one can see that we have regressed badly.

That should be Onyeka Onwenu(of the NTA then) narrating.

Nigerias problems has been played from the beginning. Poor policies, incompetent leadership & mediocrity. Nigeria was never set on the right part to flourish. 98% of factories in Nigeria uses their own generates power. Using giant generators, boilers or gas turbines. Expensive

Nigeria is a big JOKE! It's tragic.

Energy has to be affordable for any serious government ready for production. You see senseless Nigerians making case why petrol should be 1500 naira and they forget fuel is the most common source of energy everyone uses, why wont things we expensive when cost of energy is high ?

Onyeka Owenu's voice

*has

@kingppapi Every country has their calling. There is no native word used to describe “Maintenance” in Nigeria.

Fact

Hollywood think Nigerians still have this accent 🫣

Omo this company don tey ooo

Why fucking pay tax then ? Wtf!

This is why we have so many instagram vendor.

Collectively we are bunch of dumb people

The North killed Nigeria

Same thing with Cutix Cables PLC. Whenever Cutix is smelting Copper wire to the Standard length, to avoid cutting and stopping at sub-substandard length... The private Generators are used to produce a continuous power supply to avoid the shortages associated erratic supply.

Still the same agbara oo wow

This is the problem of companies in Nigeria. High cost of production. You will produce an item in nigeria to sale at a low profit margin of 2000 naira. While someone will import same goods from china and can comfortably sale at 1,600. Same product different producer and country. No sane business man will like to continue with the trajectory. Government has a role to play to enable a favourable working environment. Until we do that, our industries will keep shutting down and jobs will be going.

I lived in Agbara for a year. My word. It felt like I wasn’t living in Nigeria. They had their own sewage plant, power grid, and implemented road system. I wonder if it is still the same today

For those who called @PeterObi an IMPORTER, watch this. It is the duty of FG to create the ENABLING ENVIRONMENT for LOCAL PRODUCTION. If they don't, the businessman CANNOT produce locally, but trade as he does NOT want to run at a LOSS. DON'T tell me about MONOPOLIST Dangote.

See how refreshing it is listening to these men speak. If it were Wike being interviewed you'd just get irritated

Nigerian badly needs industrial policy. But firsts she needs the kind of ideologically-driven leadership with the spine, mettle, and strategic vision to pull this off
