Find a made-in-Nigeria alternative for those foreign goods and services you use regularly – Reno Omokri tells Nigerians what to do to make the dollar fall below ₦1000 to $1
Sociopolitical analyst Reno Omokri outlined 26 strategies for Nigerians to decrease the value of the dollar below N1000.
Omokri suggested that Nigerians should opt for locally-made alternatives to imported products. Through a post on X, he encouraged Nigerians to choose Akamu instead of Custard, beans over foreign rice, and Dangote spaghetti over Italian pasta, among other recommendations.
According to Omokri: “If you want the Dollar to fall below ₦1000 to $1, all you have to do is find a made-in-Nigeria alternative for those foreign goods and services you use regularly. Nigeria produces everything from A to Z:
“I have listed at least one product from A to Z that you can use over a foreign product. The fate of the Naira is in our hands, that is why I ask you to join me as I wear my made-in-Nigeria Agbada and cap to match.”
