JAPAJANTIS: DISCIPLINE & TALENTS TURNED NATURAL RESOURCES INTO FINISHED PRODUCTS

Japajantis take heed. God is not coming down to save Africans. Heaven helps those who help themselves. God gave Humans the skills, intelligence and knowledge to use technology for transforming natural or artificial resources into usable and valuable products. There is a list of countries with the least natural resources: Vatican City. Costa Rica. Switzerland. Belgium. Taïwan. Japan. Hong Kong. Gibraltar.

Our darkest time in life, if we don't forget, can spur us into a better future. Necessity is the mother of invention, we say. Many people fall, it is those that get up and move on that make it. There is a Yoruba adage: Adani loro, Agbara lo fi koni (adversity makes us stronger). Japan was defeated, without natural resources but their talents, sweat, discipline and determination raised them, and they learned their lessons that turned their land and people into greatness. Build a miracle out of our villages.

Africa can rise from 500 years of Dark Continent instead of wallowing in self-pity. Indeed, more of our problems today are not natural calamity but come from a few privileged Africans at the expense of those that work very hard at home and economic refugees in the Diaspora trying to rebuild. Our problems are indulging in a leaky Basket. No matter how much sweat is poured in, most of it is wasted. Twice or more as much income as is made from gold, diamond, uranium, oil etc is laundered outside.

We are not talking of the Great Empires of Ghana, Mali or Songhai. But if Western Region of Nigeria could build many Firsts in Africa, better than some countries in Europe in the 60s from meager Cocoa Income, there is no reason we could not have built on that potential with the relatively enormous amount of income made from Oil. Nigeria and other African countries squandered the income outside. Some desperate Africans colluded with foreigners to defraud their own countries.

Few of them forgot their foreign accounts forfeited to better use. The finished goods, where the profit is invested, rewards new ownerships. Unlike raw materials after leaving their sources and labor unions, it is not subject to negotiation. They name their price only to make sure it is in line with those of competitors, if they lack a monopoly. It can be a little less to capture market share or more based on brandings. We have known this for decades.

Africans with comfortable fortune at home seek greener pastures abroad where their money turns to less than minimum wage. We must find out how people with minimum wage or less live abroad compared to that small fortune at home. Many of us have bought into the excuse of politicians that our big population made us poor and unmanageable. This difference in population only makes sense with Seychelles, the richest compared to Burundi the poorest, though with higher GDP than Seychelles.

However, China, India, Bangladesh have bigger populations than Nigeria. If we have talents, skills and enterprising spirit but cannot manage or exploit them in our fertile environment, hostile environments will lure us into glorified slavery and even pay us less at home. These are the essential ingredients used to produce finished manufactured products at home and abroad.

African leaders and their cronies pay consultants, accountants, lawyers etc. awoof fees to launder foreign income. Even money recovered abroad from Vagabonds In Power, are laundered back outside. We may remember the story of talents in the holy books regarding the increase of what they had; while those who hid their talents wherever (lost it) were taken from them and given to those who multiplied theirs. What have we as Africans done to our
