Where are those people who laughed at me when I started #GrowNairaBuyNaija and said it would never work? Where are those who mocked when the Naira began to appreciate and said it will not last? We have gotten data. Instead of Naira crashing, it is MTN that is crashing. Nigerians are abandoning MTN and Airtel and porting to Glo. Soon, there will be no $20 million going to South Africa and India daily from Nigeria. Innoson is getting more orders. Air Peace is seeing a spike in sales. Let us continue to #BuyNaijaToGrowTheNaira Drive Innoson, Nord or Jet Motors Call with Glo Build with Dangote and BUA Eat breakfast with Nasco Lunch and dinner with made in Nigeria rice, even if it has stones Go on dates at Tantalisers and Suya spots Drink Zobo Celebrate with palm wine Fly Air Peace over Air France, KLM, or Lufthansa Shop at local markets Eat cassava bread over foreign wheat bread Watch Enyimba and Kano Pillars See Nollywood movies at Silverbird Stream Nigerian music Wear aso oke, agbada, babanriga, or isi agu

If we want to restore the moral fabric of Nigerian society, our government must step in. Ban the importation of wigs and weave-ons. Not only are we spending $200 million annually on them as a nation, which is putting downward pressure on our Naira. It is also pushing our women to engage in all sorts of hook-ups to get money to afford some of these outrageously priced hairs.  Next, non-student and non-staff males should be prohibited from entering university campuses after evening hours. If a male who is not a student, lecturer or non academic staff is driving into a university campus, and he cannot prove with documentary evidence that he is the parent of a student, then he is going in there for prostitution.  And once these men corrupt young girls, they damage them for life. These girls are exposed to a lifestyle they cannot maintain, except they have sugar daddies. And they then lose their ability to respect their male counterparts. How do you expect a female undergraduate who is sleeping with a Senator and calling him by his first name, to respect her fellow male students, or even her lecturers?  Thirdly, we ought to introduce legislation placing caps on how much can be spent on weddings and funerals. Our society has become so commercialised and materialistic, such that young men are put under immense pleasure to look for millions of Naira to either waste on weddings or burials. And this is fuelling a crime wave. I cannot count how many bandits and kidnappers have said in their confessional videos that they went into crime to raise money for either their marriage or their parents' or in-laws' burial.  Especially in some parts of Southern Nigeria, the mantra is, 'Get money in whatever way you can'. Some of such people even defend fraud and Yahoo as 'brain pass brain'. You have brain, and you cannot even manufacture toothpicks. You have to import it from China!  And finally, the Ministry of Information and the National Orientation Agency. They must work with Nollywood to reduce the glamorisation of ostentatious displays of wealth and wanton materialism, as well as the glorification of Yahoo Yahoo. Let us produce movies that have morals and promote virtues. If necessary, do what President Goodluck Jonathan did and give them grants to motivate them to put Nigeria first and beam morals to their audience. Something must be done to halt the collapse of the moral fabric of our society, and even the Body of Christ must press the brakes on the way our men of God display wealth as if money is the end result of Christianity. You will notice I did not mention the Muslim Ummah. This is because, if you are honest, you will admit that this is a Christian issue. Muslim clerics tend to be modest in their lifestyle.

You come on the Internet with MTN. You are wearing a $250 human hair wig that was sacrificed in an Indian temple and then shipped to Nigeria as 'Brazilian' hair, your clothes come from Italy, your shoes from Spain, and you had Quaker oats from England for breakfast, with eggs from South Africa, which you ate while watching DSTV also from South Africa, and you are heaping curses on Bola Tinubu over the state of the Naira? You are the problem with the Naira. You, with your MTN data. High Dollar kpa e mbe! If you are not producing locally or consuming locally and you come to social media to complain, then you don't yet understand that the Naira has been floated. If you like throw tantrums from now until 2027, the dollar will not come down until you start consuming made-in-Nigeria goods and services. If your money is not circulating in made-in-Nigital goods and services, no power on Earth can make your Naira circulate with higher purchasing power. This is about economics. This is not propaganda. Drive with Innoson Call with Glo Build with Dangote Eat with Nasco #GrowNairaBuyNaija

You complain that a bag of rice is now ₦70,000, yet when rain falls all of us shout 'weather for two' and go to create more babies that we can't feed. Why not see ₦70,000 as an opportunity to go into rice farming? If you cannot go into rice farming, then see it as an opportunity to enter a train from Lagos to Kano, or from Abuja to Kaduna to buy rice cheap and sell it at a profit in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Enugu, and Ibadan? Nobody is coming to save us. The UK and Japan are in recession. The twenty country Eurozone is in near recession. If we do not grow our own food and consume made-in-Nigeria goods and services over imported products, we will soon see ₦150,000 bag of rice.
