*Africa and the Esau Mentality by Ken Agala.*

The news that the Nigerian customs intercepted a container of “READY TO EAT FOODS’’ like Egusi Soup, Jollof Rice, Ogbono, Yam Porridge imported from India, should actually worry every African. What this simply means is that it was cheaper and easier to make egusi soup and package it in India than it is to make it Nigeria!

It's not shameful enough that we produce crude oil and import petrol, we produce cocoa and import chocolate, diamonds are mined in Africa, but Switzerland is the diamond capital of the world, now we are importing cooked egusi, ogbono, jollof rice and yam porridge into Africa!

Proverbs 12:27 says "The lazy man roasteth not that which he took in hunting".

Isn't this part of the Bible a little bit of an oxymoron? I mean how can you say a man who went hunting is lazy? Hunting is a very physical activity which entails running after animals and killing them. Why does the book of Proverbs declare such person a lazy man!?

This bring to mind the popular story of Esau and Jacob. We recall that Esau was a man of the field, a hunter and an apparently hard working man. And Jacob was described as a mild man. Yet, we recall that Esau came back home one day and had to depend on Jacob for food. And of course Jacob made him pay a high price for the food. His birth right.

In the second incident which is very significant, their father calls Esau to bring him food so that he can eat and bless him. While Esau heads to the forest to look for game, Jacob first of all employs the use of a consultant. Who is the person that has constantly produced food for their father for many years?

Her name Rebecca. The wife of their father Isaac. So while Esau is running to the forest, Jacob is consulting and strategizing. Then he finds the answer. He produced one of his animals. Not from the bush, but from the backyard where he has been cultivating them. Isaac was blind. He will never know the difference between animal gotten from the bush and animal raised at the backyard.

So while Esau was still in bush working hard, the strategist had produced the desired satisfaction for the clients effortlessly.

This is the difference between muscle work and brain work.

There are two types of nations on earth. There are the Esau nations and the Jacob nations. The Esau nations produce all the resources and passes to the Jacob nations who transforms and sells it back at a higher price to the Esau nations.

This is the reason why a country like Belgium, with 11 million people and 30,000 square kilometers, no mineral resources can have a GDP of 500 billion dollars and per capita income of 45,000 dollars, 21st in the global human development index.

On the other hand, a country like Democratic republic of Congo, with a total size of 2.4 million square kilometer has a population of 85 million.

Congo has 70% of the world's coltan, a third of its cobalt, more than 30% of world diamond reserves, and a tenth of its copper. Congo is arguably the world's richest country with an estimated minerals value of 24 trillion dollars. But, Congo pitiably has a GDP of 68 billion dollars and a per capita income of 816 dollars while sitting 176th on the global human development index rating.

History shows how the British, a tiny island colonized almost half of the population of the entire world. From the United States to India, South America and The Caribbean, almost 70 nations and 2 billion people fell under the colony of a tiny island of less than 30 million people as at 1900.

What did the British do that gave them edge over the world? Time management. The British people actually triggered off the industrial revolution when they began to use machines to make clothes and steam engines to run the machine. Jacob mentality!

Up till today, many African women still believe that pounded yam, pounded by hand in the mortar is sweeter and better than machine grounded powdered yam. I'm told that Egusi broken by hand is still more expensive in Nigeria than the ones broken by machines. Esau mentality!

In Nigeria, we still attach value to things due to how difficult they are produced. That's why we still move files from table to table in our ministries and processes that will take few minutes through the intranet and iCloud will drag on for days at the ministries. This still happens despite the fact that the civil servants themselves all have internet enabled phones which they use for only Facebook, Instagram and chatting.

It is this same mentality that made an elected President squander a whopping six months before he could form a cabinet while we are clearly seeing a Donald Trump appointing almost all his ministers and a 16 man economic advisory team almost two months to his inauguration.

Until we begin to put efforts towards producing with ease and speed, reduce the bottlenecks and bureaucracy in government regulatory agencies, create an environment that will improve our ease of doing business and generally take the private sector more seriously, we'd continue to see manufacturing plants shut down in Nigeria, while they spring up abroad and manufacture our egusi soup which we'd gladly sent to them. It's evident and becoming glaring to many that working and thinking smart coupled with adequate management of time always guarantee success.

Now where is the lie?


Copied!

He will surely be a candidate in the future election, you know why?
Because Nigerian like to recycle their presidents. Dont be surprise if he wins.
Why will he win?
Because Nigerian people are educated illiterate who dont know what they want and that is why the leaders make a fool of us

Nigeria has the greatest number of pastors, prophets and churches in the world.

Nigeria also has the highest number of witch crafts practice in the world
Why cant all these pastors,prophets and witch doctors combined to make this country part of the greatest in the world.

pastors & prophets, abi o nah no like better thing?
Witch doctor, abi o na sef no like better thing?

@whoRUDeceiving


I have realise that way before the election and i told my Nigeria friends here in Australia and in Nigeria the reason why it will be a waste of time to vote for such person.

Nigeria has a bad history of recycling their presidents. Buhari ruled the country while he was young and in the military the only thing good he did for the country was to creat fear on people so what make u think now that his old and his ideas are old skool he will do anything nice for the people.

All the people i gave my points at that time are all now in support of my ideas cos i predict thee current situation

I wont be surprise if they bring Goodluck back because that is how foolish nigerian people are (#RecycledPresidents)

@rfnextar8


The majority in the country are educated.

The majority rulling the country are illitrate

Now this illitrate have used their powers to brainwash the educated. If the educated once dont start thinking and acting like educated people the next president election will be just as worst as ur so called current president whom is dumb

@mikolo80

I dont need to give u an example or reference to that but i can guarantee you and those that have read this post today, when the next Nigeria election comes up you will remeber this rant and think before u cast ur vote.

Feel me brother?

@mikolo80:

It is only in nigeria that people like you dont believe ranting online can actually change the mind set of people

It is only in Nigeria were people vote for an illitrate as president and expect him to rule like Obama and speak like an educated man.

This is a disgrace to Nigerian youths

African girls are so smart. They spend $200+ just to wear fake/dead people(s) hair when they could grow their real hair for free.

NIGERIA:

# 1 INVEST IN TOURISM: tourism important in any country. A well managed tourism plays a significant impact in the development of the countries economy which will also lead to generating jobs for the people.

#2 CORRUPTION: Nigeria is a very corrupt country and i believe the only way to deal with these problem is to tackle it heads on which means starting from the top of the pyramid and working my way down to the bottom. All members of the major parties (pdp, apc ) will be removed from power as they are the mastermind to nigerian corruption. #WeStartingAfresh.

# 3 Electrical Power: A country that has 24/7 electricity has better option in progressing forward as it would make way for foreign investors to come and establish their business. These has been a major problem for Nigeria since 1960 and i know corruption has alot to do with this. What ever the problem is it must be rectify before i leave power.

# 4 Infrastructures: All major infrastructure must be completed or renovated to fit in with international standard (our international airport, major roads etc). I will make it illegal to have an uncompleted buildings (home or business) as it does not beautify any country. Also, look into having public iconic buildings as it can also create revenue for the country.

# 5 Agriculture : people run away from farming and agriculture because of the hard labour involve. Now there are machineries around the world which can make your job alot easier. I will subsidize this machineries for those interested in agriculture.


#Making9jaToRise

The youths are the leaders of tomorrow. As a Nigerian youth, assume you become the president of this country;

list 5 MAJOR things you would do as a president to make this country rise to the top during your presidential term and explain in a short form why you think this lists will make a big difference for your country.

If you think your relationship is real,exchange your phone for 24 hours,without any password..And I challenge you that 95% of people will become single.

I hear so many girls say..."I have an unwanted pregnancy". Please shut up. What is unwanted there?.When you were having sex without a condom, were you expecting a deep freezer or a table fan?

How do you expect him to visit nigeria when only the bad smell of the international airport alone can kill him. Do you think american are dumb to put their president at risk

Welcome to Nigeria, the only place on earth where typing amen to a Pastor’s prayer on Facebook will save you from your village witches and make you a billionaire.
