Once upon a time a certain ruler in Nigeria banned importation of almost every thing including the ones we do not produce at all and the ones we do not produce enough for our consumption; he banned the importation of the raw materials our industries use. The result was that a tin of Nido powdered milk rose from N7 to between N18 to N23 if you see it, the Nigerian packaged peak milk and the one packaged in Holland disappeared from the stalls. Ovaltine and Bournvita prices sky-rocketed, with the scarcity over the nation regular size of Omo detergent quadruppled in price Then his government went and broke peoples ware houses (claiming they were hoarding) to sell their goods far below what it cost the seller to acquire them. People jubilated ignorantly for a while. His government proved that they dont actually think things through before the embark on it, then they rushed to import some commodities and called essential commodities (essen com), we never saw it in the east, we had that people form long queues in Lagos just to buy a few restricted items. (Abiola became popular with that because he imported and gave almost free). The milk that the imported found its way into people stalls, the one the call is it Evergreen or so have more that half of its content congealed, thank God someone some how imported Purity milk, that helped us in Enugu. When members of that government decided to sack their leader to give us the one later nicknamed Maradona Nigerians went into the streets to jubiliate. The name of that wicked and thoughtless ruler is Major General Muhamadu Buhari (rtd).
