Nigeria is one of the most populated countries in Africa and the World at large, having a population of about 170million people.
My poor people of Nigeria, why are we drinking out our livies. it's a known fact that excessive alcohol consumption is detrimental to health, a number of medical disorders are linked with these habit. In 2016 only, Nigeria Breweries recorded sales of almost N300 billion. Guinness recorded a N275 billion sales, totalling about N580 billion (about $3billion) which is about 3% of our GDP.
From the above its estimated that over 3 billion bottles of bear was sold in 2016, an average 200 bottles per person a year.
An average Nigerian is either a Christian or a Muslim. Both religion enjoins adherents to avoid alcohol, so who drank the about N580 billion worth of alcohol in 2016. Isn't it funny that while spending so much on alcohol alone, most families lived below $1 a day in the same country.
A country with more churches and mosques than any where on the continent. The big question here is who drank the alcohol.
Worthy of note is the fact that the above statistics does not include sales from other breweries, those smuggled into the country from Neighboring Cameron, Chad, and Niger as well as assorted foreign and local alcoholic drinks such as Ogogoro, CombIne, Spirits, Vodka, Whiskey, Brandy, Brukutu, Alamo, Palm wine, etc.
If all these is added only God knows how much alcohol is consumed in this country, called Nigeria. The increased violence, and moral breakdown in our communities can be linked with this heavy drinking.
