I did not write this article because I am a Nigerian. I did to portray an opportunity you may be missing.
You should know this. You are making a big mistake if you exclude Nigeria in getting your share of the African market in different forms. The population alone is an advantage. Don’t also forget this. Nigerians are multipliers. Take a careful look. How many church denominations spread to other nations like the Nigerian church denominations? How many African nations have the number of professional footballers like Nigerians? What about the film and music industries? How many entrepreneurs from other African countries are spreading internationally continuously like Dangote and others? What about Doctors, content creators and others. Think critically and understand.
Yes, there are bad elements in Nigeria just like any nation, but there are also good elements just like any nation.
My former neighbour who is into leadership development programmes told me that one of his foreign friends visited him in Nigeria and explained to him why he loves visiting Nigeria. His reason got my attention. “If you want something to reach the whole Africa, give it to a Nigerian.”
I hope you will meet a good Nigerian one-day. You will tell me more.
