In the past, Nigeria was importing so many items both the ones they need and the ones the country did not need, may be as a result of too much money in the country (Nigeria) which Mr Audu Innocent Ogbeh who was former minister of agriculture kicked against during his time in office but lots of people in Nigeria misunderstood him and that allegedly created enmity between him and those cabals who were so immensely engaged in the importation of all sorts of goods into the country (Nigeria). If you import goods into your country, you create huge revenue and employment for the country where those goods are coming from. Somehow things may be going well in your country (Nigeria) because the people of your country would have more to eat and enjoy due to your imports but it would get to a point where all your resources which should have been used to develop, build and grow those items you were importing into your country would no longer be there and when such time comes, problems would set in which Mr Audu Innocent Ogbeh was trying to let Nigerians know during his time in office but lots of importers in Nigeria who made themselves untouchable did not buy his ideas because of selfishness. They were only interested in the amount of money that would go into their bank accounts when the goods they imported from other countries of the world get to Nigeria, without thinking of the economy and future of the people of the country (Nigeria) which is not good. If Nigeria had started early enough to encourage home grown items, by now people would have been used to it. However, it is not too late to begin a race as long as where everyone is heading to has been identified, in no time Nigeria would get there and every lost period would be history.
