What becomes apparent as the days go by is the fact that the world without God is in a downward spiral towards self decimation. Global warming, constant, now more frequent tendencies towards recession, terrorism, increase in hate crimes are a testimony to my proposition. Of late i have mainly focused on economic issues and proffered some simple Biblical Wisdom nuggets as solutions.
What the world now needs is increase in the middle income earners. A raise in the standards of International Living standards. More people need to get access to money and wealth creation means. The more disposable income that is created, the more business will benefit from sales. I will give a simple analogy. Coke is not only in business because of their secret formula and Advertising, but because the product really satisfies something in its Clients' lives. So, imagine an appetite for coke is created at a party a man attends. He loves this fizzy drink. But the problem is access to capacity to procure it. He therefore in that simple limitation reflects the amount of business coke is losing because of his incapacity. He cannot procure coke everytime he feels like it. He only benefits coke when attending parties. So limiting the number of people with money limits the amount of business actually going on. So, for sustainable international poverty eradication and wealth creation, we do not need a UN declaration and unattainable deadline. We need the member states to transfer the wealth to the areas where the poverty is real. Why is Africa poor? There is lots of work to be done on road construction, dam construction, School buildings and factory creation, but noone is doing anything about it. We talk about it. We declare it, but it is never done. So, when a lot of land lies underutilised and not utilised in Africa is the world really hungry, when the rivers are still flowing to the seas all year around in Africa? Too much talk no action.
If all those rich people stopped making money by buying stocks in already prospering companies which have lowered quality standards to increase sales, and started creating real products in Africa and Asia in Factories, the poor they desire to eradicate will become employed people. That is real poverty eradication. They make their money off stock prices. they buy stock in an organisation with noone to sell to, for the Market is saturated; rather than create new Markets by placing ability to procure in the people's hands, they do not do that. They debate and talk and years turn to decades. When recession occurs, the rich buy more stock, for recession will pass and value will be increased, but people lose jobs. In some nations, they lower interest rates against loans to encourage borrowing for investment. Invest in what if it is recession? They are actually telling you what recession is. It is a time rich people unitedly slow down economic activity and take everyone down with them. So, the solution is bring in more investment. But because of the impact of the rich boy united gloom, who wants to argue? So, Zimbabwe solved this problem a long time ago and is suffering dearly for it. Zimbabwe said, "Every Nation has wealth that is God given. So, let every Nation be the first to benefit from its own wealth. So, They proposed a 51/49% share holding policy in all economic activity as the thresh hold for investment. 51% local, 49% Foreign share. This is very fair if we want poverty eradication. Who talked of poverty eradication? is it not humanity? Is it a race? If it is humanity, why is it grievous to do? I am amazed by Westerners. They love wild animals more than humans. They love the vegetation more than humans. Why? if you show them that your business thinks of animals and vegetation preservation, they can do business with you. A whole Nation of HUMAN BEINGS says, "We want business that thinks of people's welfare," that Nation is ostracised for it. Wow!
So, as far as i am concerned, i do not foresee any Western societies to be created to fight for the economic rights of Africans, the way they can fight for a rare flower at Mosi Oa Tunya that does not even occur on their part of the globe. So, to me, poverty is not real, it is a creation of selfish men who know what they must do to end it, but are unwilling. Acts 2:42-45, Acts 4:32-35, Luke 3:7-11. Canada has a 'Healing Fund' for its Indigenous peoples for the trauma of displacement and disillusionment associated with Settler colonisation of their land. No-one is healing the Africans for the trauma of Slave trade and Colonialism. In fact, the wealth taken from us is being given back as strings-attached loans that have pushed us so deep into poverty, Prosperity is now a pipedream.
I let it all out there. I pray that God causes a BRIGHTER DAY to rise on the African horizon. God bless you.
