iPhone XR to iPhone 17, Nigeria's crisis of self-esteem
#ICYMI From iPhone 17 replicas to car model “upgrades,” Nigeria's infamous "I-better-pass-my-neighbour" cultural meme has graduated from simple nuisance to driver of real economic jeopardy.
Fuelled by a debilitating societal inferiority complex and high levels of extreme poverty, a new trend of disturbingly obsessive brand awareness has created a booming "insecurity economy," characterised by after-market smartphone design modification, "car model upgrade" body kit installation, Indian temple hair importation, and many other dodgy activities built exclusively around exploiting the insecurities of 230 million poor people.
Already a struggling, sub-industrialised economy with IMF-imposed economic austerity, Nigeria has now become an economic opportunity for unscrupulous suppliers in industrialised countries, as Nigerians haemorrhage their money on a desperate quest to signal imaginary status to one another.
It’s time for a cultural shift. Scientific education, economic empowerment and spiritual awakening must displace obsessive, spiritually bankrupt, low-level consumerism. If this will be Africa's century, the continent needs its most populous country to break free from this psychological trap.
