Posted by Reno Omokri, a sociopolitical analyst, listed 26 strategies for the Nigerian people to bring the dollar’s value down to N1000 on Monday.
According to Omokri, Nigerians should stop importing commodities and start buying products created in Nigeria.
He urged Nigerians to substitute various foods, such as beans for imported rice, Dangote spaghetti for Italian pasta, and Custard for Akamu, in a series of posts on X.
If you wish for the dollar to drop below ₦1000 to $1, Omokri claims, all you need to do is substitute goods and services created in Nigeria for the ones you normally buy from abroad. Nigeria is a one-stop shop for all things manufactured:
In place of an imported product, I have provided a list of products spanning the alphabet from A to Z. Join me in proudly donning my Agbada and matching cap, made in Nigeria. The destiny of the Naira is in our hands.
