The whole story today is about
emergence. Either it is about an emergency plan for three years or it is
emerging by 2035. What is all these
about? Personally I don’t know the meaning of attaining emerging status by the
year 2035.
You might understand that
- They have dreams of stepping
out of the poverty scale by then.
- Also they preview the life
expectancy to be above a certain level;
- Or perhaps the main goal
here should be improving the living standard of the citizens because no matter
what is done if the citizens don’t live well nothing will go well.
- Maybe by 2035 there will be no
unemployed graduate in Cameroon. Alleluia.
Okay, realistically what have they
set as objectives towards achieving the emergence? Or does emergence just fall
out of the sky? The more time they waste the more impossible it is to achieve
the goals. For me emergence should be moving from one level of an economy to
another and you may think that 2035 which is 20 years from today is far away
but I tell you the emergence dictionary registers its full day in 24 years not in 24 hours like normal. This means that any country that thinks she can skip to
another level must be fully able and ready to do so within 25 years. Now
Cameroon has chosen to achieve theirs in 25 years starting from 2010. Its 5
years and running, I don’t even think their development process is any rapid
than it used to be before they came up with the emergency plan well that’s in
my area maybe it Is different around you. And besides, where we are today is
not a product of 25 years. I think it goes way back to the 60s and 70s.
The big
question is whether Cameroon can even attain the Millennium Development Goals
set aside by the United Nations this 2015. The fun about this is that by 2035
most of the decision makers today who are already old will not even be able to
talk by then if not with their ancestors. This whole emerging stuff is just to
put pressure on the government of tomorrow for those today will not be around
by then.
Okay enough of that. What are they
actually doing to ensure that they attain the emerging status.
-
They are building roads
-
They have built roads
-
They will build roads
-
Roads are programmed to be built
You should take note that roads are
repeating because that is the only real development we are seeing being done
and besides the roads are being repaired after two years. So roads constructed
in 2013 should be in pot-hole form by now which need renewing and the trend
continues till the target year.
God help our country!
God should rilly help this country because as days go by its like we are moving backwards.. seriously i feel we might even emerge but in 2090
