Omokri lists various ways to support Nigerian brands, from using local telecommunications providers like Glo to patronizing indigenous car manufacturers like Innoson. He advocates for consuming Nigerian-made goods, dining at local eateries, and enjoying cultural experiences.
He wrote; ” The Naira is rising, and the Dollar is falling. When I started this campaign, people were mocking. But today, #GrowNairaBuyNaija is working. In the last 24 hours, the Naira has appreciated by 8%. The more you swap your MTN SIM for Glo, drive an Innoson instead of a Toyota, and build with Dangote cement, the more the Naira will appreciate. Don’t buy Naija because of me. Do it because of yourself.
Drive Innoson or Nord. Call with Glo. Build with Dangote and BUA. Eat breakfast with Nasco. Lunch and dinner with made in Nigeria rice, even if it has stones.Go on dates at Tantalisers and Suya spots. Drink Zobo. Celebrate with palm wine. Fly Air Peace over Air France, KLM, or Lufthansa. Shop at local markets. Eat cassava bread over foreign wheat bread. Watch Enyimba and Kano Pillars. See Nollywood movies at Silverbird. Stream Nigerian music. Wear aso oke, agbada, babanriga, or isi agu”
