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.
