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.
