He expressed regrets that most of the products that are consumed in the country are imported.
Anwukah, who spoke during the Special Senate Session organised by IMSU in honour of four senators of the university was, however, optimistic that the nation would come out of the economic hardship stronger.
He noted that the lifestyle and inability of Nigerians to readjust to the present economic situation is responsible for why the recession is severely felt.
He said, “Though there is hunger, starvation, penury and pain in the land following the economic crash, I know that after this timeout, it will be better for all Nigerians”.
Earlier in her remarks, the IMSU Acting Vice Chancellor, Prof. Adaobi Obasi, said the essence of the grand reception was to honour the alumni of the university who have been elevated and given higher and sensitive portfolios.
Obasi said, “We appreciate you to have come from IMSU. You are really good ambassadors of the university.

This is an example of the educated illiterates that abound in this country. Local rice that I like is now competing in price with the imported rice. Garri, formerly the staple of the common man, is now outrageously expensive and yet this man is talking about extravagant lifestyle. Is he being serious? What type of car does he own? Let's talk about his extravagant lifestyle. Does he go to tourist destinations within the country on holiday rather than travelling out? I'm so ticked off I don't even know what I'm typing anymor . Mtsheeeew. Better continue "chopping ya money" or is it "our money" and stop making careless pronouncements
ReplyDeleteDear Sir, is it our lifestyle that has created no roads in the SE or no electricity? Is it the lifestyle that has increased fuel price or made pronouncements that have common entrance cut off marks diffrent for diffrent parts of the country, that has made a crime to conduct a peaceful demonstration for chibok girls!
