Have you ever sat down to ponder over how and why people you started life with are enjoying life so well and you on the other hand is caught in the hands of failure?
He was his parents favourite since he was always on his toes for them. From errands to studies and from sales to accounting, he did all these with delight in and out of home. He was diligent and circumspect in his dealings and everyone in the family created a colourful future for him in their conscious minds. He had dreams and he understood that his dreams could only come to pass if he committed it into God’s hands entirely.
He came out with a first class degree in Business Administration and no one wanted to employ him because he couldn’t be paid. He had so good a GPA that even his uncle refused to employ him since he knew for sure Ebo wouldn’t stay for long and would run if a better pay from a reputable company showed up. He was distressed and since no one would employ him, he took MPhil in Economics and for God being so good he was the best student to ever graduate in the field. Employment opportunities now opened for him after two years. He didn’t work in a bank, he worked in a Guinness Production firm and his duty was to enter data and retrieve data using Management Information System and knowledge in Accounting Information System- a subsystem of MIS. His pay was very good and with his knowledge in Economics and investment, he was always found in banks where he bought shares and invested. Approximately, he quit his job of a three year working experience and begun to work out his own dream.
His dad became ill and on his 65th birthday kicked the bucket. His will was all about his son. Ebo inherited a lot likewise his mother. He entered into real estate business and built an empire. An empire of cocoa plantations, yam plantations, pineapple and cashew nuts. He also entered into poultry farming and soon he was rubbing shoulders with worth. His bank account was loaded and here and there he was seen doing all what rich men do; giving to orphanage homes and foundations which lacked basic amenities.
A new microfinance opened and since he was well to do, the workers decided to visit Ebo so that he could invest and make their business stand, promised 100% interest on any money saved and promising a three month interest of 125% on any money saved under Treasury bill. Ebo was excited to gain more money and expand his business. He agreed to their terms and within a time space of 2 weeks, he placed half of his fortune into his newly opened bank account in this new microfinance. Within a time frame of one year, Ebo who opened account with $620 million into this new account gained $2 billion and some coins. Over excited, he pushed this huge amount into Treasury bill and in no time money was really working for him.
He nearly killed himself when he came into his office to find a piece of note on his desk. Information therein was specific. No amount of empathy or sympathy could soothe his sorrows and fears. He thought he had disappointed his family. He had no wife and his mother was all his pride and now this? There has to be a reconsideration or something, he thought, but no one could hear him yell. He decided to visit the place where all his life changing story had begun. He had been tricked. It was all paper and all the workers in this microfinance where armed robbers. How could he not have found out earlier? He thought he had been paying his tithes and expected God to tell him something. He decided to find out why, and the answer was specific when he asked Pastor Joe, a local missionary who was transferred from Europe to Ghana. He replied,’’ You didn’t seek the lord’s face before going into that investment?’’. This nearly shut his whole brain down in six minutes which after could kill any human living under water without oxygen.
