A wealthy man perceives a
car, creates a factory to produce the car, and employ others to work in it.
Soon, the society has what they need (affordable cars), his employees are
getting paid, and he is at home sleeping in peace knowing very well that he has
changed the life of others. Another worries about a societal
problem or thinks of an environmental good, and decides to create or publish a
book about it. He gets the printers, distributors,
libraries, and bookstores involved. Those who like the
content get to tell their friends and if he is lucky, generations will keep
buying the book. It could be a painting, a hospital, a
restaurant, or even a CD. Wealthy people create to satisfy a
need at no expense to another. It might take time, but they
always enhance their community or nation.
A rich man goes and buys a
cheap car from the junk yard for $1,000, fixes it up for another $1,000, and
ships it to
Nigeria for another
$1,000. He then goes to
Nigeria to sell a car that an
American car dealer will buy for $50 at $10,000 and then come back to the
USA to brag about how he
made a profit of $7,000 for nothing. Yes, he has $7,000 cash
but he is putting trash into his own economy at an inflated rate.
The wealthy man and his country that made the car are still the
champions. They already made their profit when the
materialized idea was sold. When the idea became trash and
was worthless, the crafty rich man came to buy it as if it had any value.
The crafty rich man did not only clean up their mess from pollution
problems, but also compensated them for an idea that was already dead.
He then takes the valueless substance (dead idea/car) to his country and
the idea finally
dies or
breaks down on the road
within a year or two. The rich $7,000 man does not only
put inflation in his economy, he also puts pollution there (exhaust waste and the
car itself), but most importantly, expands the poverty of his people.
This is because when you pay $10,000 for a car that its maker now values
at $50, you are poor. You are not poor because you
increased your
lack by paying
too much, but because there is lack of supply that is why you need to pay too
much. A country that needs cars must have good supply of it
by producing it or having a system in place where its citizen will not be
cheated and have great return on their investment.
A rich man takes his
country’s resources and hides it in the Swiss bank. He is
very rich because “his money” is generating interest in his name and can never
be recovered by his country or other people. The wealthy men
in Swiss bank take the rich man’s money, invest the money in the Swiss country
and on the Swiss people, and give the rich man maybe 5% (being generous) at the
expense of his people. Do not forget that the rich man
losses it all if he dies leaving the money with the Swiss.
The rich do not want adequate electricity, so that the poor can struggle to buy
the generators that he imports from the wealthy. He stores
his country’s oil in foreign reservoir at some interest rate to cause scarcity
in his land, then turns around to inflate the price of oil to his people.
A rich man allows his infrastructures to break down, so that his people
will have no hope while he uses hunger as a weapon. He then
turns to the wealthy for foreign aid and expertise, knowing very well that he is
going to keep the money and offer some little contracts here and there.
He allows lawlessness so that he can take when he wants, and no one can
fight for those he takes from.
The Europeans have chosen
wealth as a way of life. The have learned to invent and
create for the common good, and have a spirit of collaboration amongst
themselves to create a culture of abundance and supply. The
Africans have chosen riches as a way of life, where they take the leftover of
the wealthy to make up for the lack of supply they have intentionally created
and use it to feed the poor at an exaggerated inflation rate. The rich
unconsciously creates the poor for the benefit of the wealthy, but to the
wealthy, the rich and the poor are the same – his employees.
If
Nigeria or African must
make it and be respected, we must train ourselves to become wealthy and elect
leaders that are wealthy. Wealthy is not tangible money, but
materialized ideas that have being brought about by study, discipline,
determination, and productivity. The money will come
later or to his children, but the society which he served will be richer, more
fulfilled, respected, and blessed
