In a recent tweet, renowned activist Reno Omokri shed light on an alternative approach to combat the economic challenges facing Nigerians. With the surge in the value of the Dollar making imported goods increasingly unaffordable, Omokri proposed a return to indigenous solutions. He suggested that if wheat, a staple ingredient in bread, becomes too expensive due to currency fluctuations, Nigerians should turn to cassava flour as an alternative. Drawing from personal experience, Omokri highlighted the deliciousness of cassava bread, emphasizing its Nigerian origin. READ FULL ARTICLE HERE

Reflecting on his time spent in Aso Rock with former President Jonathan, Omokri recalled consuming cassava bread for two years and attested to its quality. He further advocated for a shift towards locally produced food items in response to rising prices of imported goods. For instance, if foreign rice becomes too costly, Nigerians should opt for locally grown beans, potatoes from Plateau, yam from Benue, or cocoyam from Delta.

“If the high Dollar is placing wheat above the reach of Nigerians, let us make our bread with cassava flour. I ate cassava bread for two years in Aso Rock with President Jonathan. It is delicious. And it is made in Nigeria. When you can no longer afford foreign rice, eat beans. If beans are expensive too, then consume potatoes from Plateau, yam from Benue, and Cocoyam from Delta.”

Expanding on the concept of embracing indigenous products, Omokri urged consumers to choose Nigerian alternatives over imported goods across various categories. He suggested replacing foreign brands like Birdseye custard and Quaker Oats with local options such as akamu, ogi, or pap, which offer nutritional benefits and fewer preservatives. Likewise, he encouraged opting for locally sourced maishanu butter from Fulani cattle sellers instead of imported Kerrygold butter, noting its natural purity.

“If you go to the market and Birdseye custard and Quaker Oats are out of your reach, reach for akamu, ogi, or pap. They have less preservatives and more vitamins. If Kerrygold butter is now triple the price, get maishanu from Fulanis selling cattle. It is the same as Kerrygold, only that it has no chemicals or hormones, like Kerrygold.”

Omokri emphasized that Nigeria possesses an abundance of resources to meet its citizens’ needs but often falls short due to greed and a preference for foreign products. He urged Nigerians to support homegrown businesses and industries, advocating for the use of products made by Nigerian companies such as Innoson for automobiles, Glo for telecommunications, Dangote for construction materials, and Nasco for food items.

“Look, a made-in-Nigeria alternative exists for almost every foreign product you consume. There is enough in Nigeria for everybody’s need, but for everyone’s greed. Drive with Innoson Call with Glo Build with Dangote Eat with Nasco.”

In conclusion, Omokri called for a paradigm shift towards becoming a “prosumer” nation, where consumption aligns with domestic production. By embracing locally sourced alternatives, Nigerians can mitigate the impact of economic challenges and contribute to the growth of indigenous industries, fostering self-sufficiency and sustainability in the long run.
