Nollywood icon, Richard Mofe-Damijo has praised
Made-in-Nigeria products, starting from furniture to footwear. He said this

for him, after he couldn’t afford the imported from a shop in Victoria Island,
Lagos State. Damijo further said that Nigeria’s products compare with all that
are out there. Continue t read his post…
"Made in Nigeria never felt so good. In the strive for a
better Nigeria I have had to look inwards to buying everything I need from
clothes to accessories. For fashion, furniture and footwear I think it's safe
to say we are almost there.
"Last year, the Mrs and I walked into this shop in Victoria
Island, Lagos to buy a high back chair and was told 2.8m naira. Wifey who
wanted the chair more than I did was the first to head for the door. I called
up a furniture maker in Benin that had built me a door a few years back and the
result is this beautiful one I am sitting on and yea, it cost me way less than
the one in the shop.
"Not to mention the the pretty sandals I am wearing by @amystunner another
made in Nigeria product that compares with all that is out there. Respect to
all those digging in to make us look better. Keep doing what you're doing and
we will get there," he wrote on Instagram.
