Nigerian Goods: let value it

Dictionary.com defines Goods as things produced to be sold. This means that Nigerian goods are those things that are produced in Nigeria.
Every country produce one goods or the other that are exported to other countries and most especially consumed or used in that particular country.
Nigeria as a country produce so many things which include; farm produce (such as yam, cocoyam, cassava, maize, rice etc), Vegetables (such as onions, bitter leaf, tomatoes, pepper, water leaf etc), fruits (mango, cashew, orange, guava etc), Agricultural produce ( timber, palm produce, rubber, cocoa, groundnut), minerals ( crude oil, tin and columbite, limestone, gold, iron ore), manufactured goods (like cement, textiles, exercise books, soaps etc).

All these goods are produced in Nigeria and is expected that Nigerians patronise them. But it disheartening when you hear people condeming Nigerian made goods, some will say they are fake products..
I must say am a victim to this, I don't like local rice because for me i see it as stress removing the chafs and stones that are in them before cooking unlike foreign rice that is neat and stress free.
But come to think of it, the local rice is more nutritional because little or no chemical is added to preserve it unlike the foreign rice that is kept in the name of preserving it for a very long time.....
Lol...I just remembered something, my mum sent me to the market to buy a bathing soap for her, before I left she told me clearly to check where it was made. According to her, she said the one that is written made in England on the pack is the original one...I laughed, I was like so there is no one made in Nigeria and she said that will be the fake one..
Can you see our mentality about our home made goods.. How do we expect our country to grow when we don't appreciate what is produced in the country or even use them.
