Besides our crushed hopes in the rains, economists from the World Bank have revived our positive attitude by predicting that our Economy may grow by 4.7% this year. This estimate is based on the structures that have already been laid by the government. Politics aside, the report also recognized the government’s effort to curb insecurity issues that have threatened the economy time and again. My worry is, will this bring food to my table? That is the concern for many of us; what does it have to do with my kiosk, my vegetable store or my services?
Generally speaking, growth of the Economy brings some food to those who hadn’t and even more food to those who have some. It does so in an indirect and an unequally different manner to different groups of people in a country. Like the biblical parable of the servants issued with coins to trade, the blessings of a growth in the Economy are likely to be more felt by the owner than the worker of a business entity. Remember, to those who have it will be added and to those with little it shall be taken from them.
Don’t be so skeptical towards a growth. No growth, save the one for the enemy, is likely to hurt you. The economy of the country is not and can rarely be your enemy. As a matter of fact, we are part of the whole. As such, we ought to be positive when chances of growth for the whole are visible. We can be sure, as the body grows, majority of the parts must grow with it. Earnestly, all I imply is that some parts are bound to grow faster than others depending on the causation of growth.
It is easy to identify the parts likely to grow faster. Infrastructural development was sighted in that report as a major contributor to the anticipated growth. By taking advantage of the newly linked parts of the country, we are likely to uncover new markets or sources of cheaper supplies. Those who have will invest in the opportunities, a startup will also work well if it undertakes to explore the new markets. Unfortunately, not all of us have the ability to take advantage of this opportunities due to financial constraints.
The disadvantaged in this case can sit, and as they pray that someone may not grab their opportunity before they accumulate funds to invest in it, God will answer them by an invitation letter for an interview. Myself, rather than pray sited, I will walk through town looking for money from somewhere I don’t know where. I know I must get some and position myself at the base of the tide, as the wave forms, up with it I shall come with my startup.And if fate wishes the economy to fall, down I shall go with hope. Aint scared of either situations.
