(Voice of Paul) – While in high school, I learned an Economics law of Comparative Cost Advantage which translates to doubling-down on your strength and outsourcing your weakness. Fast-forward to 2013, I applied that law. I wrote JAMB examination again even though I was working 40 hours a week. And surprisingly, I got 331 out the 400 JAMB score which was commendable. I have viewed the economic situation of Nigeria in this lens and all I can say is that the country has the power to dominate the globe economically.
Given the vast landmass of arable lands in Nigeria combined with favourable weather, nothing stops Nigeria from being at the top 10 economies of the World. But in reality, tens of millions of Nigerians cannot boast of being at the bottom level of Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of Human Needs.
I made a visual explanation on how the country can harness its enormous resources and lift her people out of poverty. Engage me in the comments and let me know your opinion.
