THE MARKET VALUE OF A MAN IS A FUNCTION OF THE KIND OF SOCIETY THAT BREEDS HIM. By Yemi Richard
The point of attraction in any society that works is the VALUE of the people. The market value of a man is a function of his psycological and emotional make-up which is subject to his thoughts, the experience and lessons drawn from the society he belongs.
If a foreigner goes to Africa as an expatriate, he is quickly honored with all incentives of life such as good cars, the best accommodation, etc, even if he has nothing to offer. But how is an African treated as a foreigner? The answer leaves you in dismay as evidently seen today all over the world.
Nineteen out of twenty Africans, especially Nigerians are denied visas in Europe and American embassies on daily basis not because they're not truly qualified but because they have been economically devalued by society that produced them.
If the attitudes and activities of the Leaders in the two most prolific and lucrative sectors (Religion and Politics), which have only produced the poorest people in the world do not bother you, then it is not a surprise how the value of the people keep depreciating on daily basis.
If there are questions to be asked as to why you are not of high value as an African, especially in the developed
countries, direct all the questions to your Religious and Political Leaders.
They have, for age long led and misgoverned the people with falsehood ideologies and theories, and have milked the system dry so much that the value of the people have depreciated over time.
You are only a valued product, if the society that breeds you is working. The environment you live and work can only add value to you if Leadership is not the biggest problem.
