NIGERIA'S OBSESSIVE MATERIALISM - A POSTCOLONIAL PSYCHOLOGICAL CRISIS
From iPhone 17 replicas to car model βupgradesβ using after-market body kits, Nigeria's infamous "I-better-pass-my-neighbour" cultural meme has graduated from simple nuisance to becoming a 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 struggling with an anaemic, sub-industrialised economy and IMF-imposed economic austerity, Nigeria's "insecurity economy" has now become an economic opportunity for unscrupulous entrepreneurs in industrialised countries, as Nigerians haemorrhage their scarce financial resources on a desperate quest to signal imaginary status to one another.
Itβs 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.
