Let us forget about the Nigerian government for a moment and ask why the people cannot set themselves the targets of creating the world’s largest manufacturing facilities in the following sectors during the course of 2024

When you are the world’s largest black nation, you simply have to think biggest, tallest, longest and fastest. Today, everything being done in China and Dubai is built with that in mind.

Nigeria’s fundamental problem is that we are not productive enough. Solve that and you will resolve 90% of our socio-economic and political woes.

Our watch phrase has got to be production, production, production. After World War Two, the Soviet Union was achieving something like 28% annual economic growth, which is what we should aim for in 2024.

Between 1967 and 1971, the Gowon administration was achieving something like 25% GDP growth annually. How do we replicate this my people?
