This is economic colonialism and they are enjoying it. They will never let you loose or set you free. What they are saying is right. These are basic fundamentals. If you want to grow your economy you must improve the export sector.
Export attracts foreign exchange.
You cannot be an importer all the time. Everything you buy in this country is imported. Nobody manufactures anything, what we do is to bring the parts and join them together. We have to manufacture and export. We have to make manufactured products in Nigeria competitive so that even the foreign countries in Nigeria can come here and manufacture their goods for exports competitively.
