Nigerians like free things but this comes at a price! 🥶
In essence, the typical Nigerian is often unwilling to pay the market—and fair—price for goods & services, even if doing so would lead to better quality provision. He would rather pay little or nothing to receive a substandard product or service.
Paying nothing to get everything
There is no such thing as a free lunch anywhere.
Everyone likes free things, but the Nigerian government has anchored people to free things or low prices through unsustainable subsidies.
*Give a man fish and teach him about the river*
To break this cycle, you need to work on two things:
The first requires development, and
The second suggests a shift in societal orientation.
Encouraging people to pay fair prices is an arduous task, but it is one which is required in order to free Nigeria from the underdevelopment facilitated by the deceptive allure of free things. Nigerians must quickly learn that in a capitalist society, very few of the best things in life are free.
