Africa is part of the only garden of roses left in the world.Everywhere you
throw a seed you will reap big.I call Africa my home,Yes ! Home sweet home!
From Gold,Petroleum ,Coal and other natural mineral resources are all available
in Africa but why is Africa still poor or a third world country.
The answer is in investment,we do earn lots of forex from all our resources
but we need invest back from what gives us the fruits we yield from investment.
For instance Gold is available in various parts of the countries especially
currently in East Africa but we never think of reserves all we think about is
export,
WHY? So we should also invest in Gold reserve centers and later use
these reserves and re-injections into the economy in times or critical slow
growth.
People usually forget to follow the Income Cycle ,A person Earns
income,Saves Income,Invest,Spend profits.Yes we bring investors but do we fully
utilize them that is do we adopt and create a typical copy of what someone has?
Then use his copy to produce our own at a later stage.No! In most parts of
Africa an expert will come with the investment team or company they will work
and live without exchange program because program coordinators and board of
directors matching on full stomachs with allowance or commission .That is so
sad and ugly.
Now it is time ,I have grown up seeing it all i would love to bring change
and i call upon more investors to come but this time with strings attached ,let
us share and work with exchange programs and those who go on such programs come
back with views on new innovations learnt or even become role models for the
companies to train more people.
In the past ,Investors would build schools and those schools were run
smoothly with high class training tutors /teachers but these days the motto is
"KISS -Keep It Soft & Simple" as the Board puts it straight just
waiting for investors to come.
I also think United Arab Emirates can be better investors in Africa but
little room as has been given to them yet they would also beef up on investment
in one way or another.
I surely believe i will one day visit the UAE and see how Dubai works and i
would love to know why you can never separate Dollars and Gold from Dubai.How a
Desert was made into a real life atmosphere ,How an artificial lake looks like?
That is what i call investment ...changing a dead place into a lively haven.
Give an Arab a dead place and go ,come back the next time you will see significant
change you might even feel jealous about how he thinks.
The way a person thinks is not only because of going to school,for instance
my instincts tell me i am a natural
thinktank- but in Africa how many
people are called upon.In Japan a Toyota Thinktank goes home looking at various
cars and comes back the next day in office and designs a new model,In UAE Dubai
Engineer Zayid Dallallah thinks of what the New Ford model would do,He is
paid but here in Africa if you want to be an expert you need to come from a big
office ....
My belief is that I can do any business and succeed no matter what it takes
,I just roll the dice but I keep the principles of management as my core goal
of achievement.
Africa needs investment and really serious investors,
God Bless Investors .
Happy festive season.
