The Nation Newspaper Nigerians and the call to patriotism
SIR: In February, President Bola Tinubu directed mandatory recitation of the pledge, immediately after the national anthem at every official and public engagements. According to Mr. President, the directive is aimed at ensuring absolute respect for the national symbols, strengthen allegiance and fidelity to country and preserve Nigeria’s ethos and defining character.
It has been observed that most Nigerians do prefer to patronize foreign goods instead of locally made goods. The reason is quite obvious. Most Nigerians believe that foreign goods are much better than locally made goods. This shows that we lack patriotism. Efforts were made by successive administrations to revamp the ailing industries but to no avail. Part of the lessons that we have learnt from this episode is that it is always good to patronize home made goods.
First and foremost, this document could have been prepared here in Nigeria considering the fact that we have experts that are capable of handling the work. Secondly, the so called foreign experts were oblivious of our economy, culture and tradition. Therefore, they couldn’t do a thorough job and the policy document is now lying on shelves gathering dust.
