Muslims: The Most Honest People On Earth

The National Economic Submit 2016 Organize by the Nigerian Association Of Academics and Authors (NAAA), and National Association Of Post Graduate Student (NAPS) UNIBEN Chapter has come and gone, and One secret tip of excelling in Business and entrepreneurship the guest speaker DR Godwin Ehigiamosoe (Founder and MD LAPO MIcrofinance Bank) mentioned was HONESTY.
According to him Honesty in business help markets your  business and its become profitable only on a Long-run basis. Honesty they say is a Fruit of the Holy spirit but its found today among few Christians doing business. Critically analyzing it, common sense will tell you that being honest in your dealings is a win-win even if not immediately, but it helps promotes your faster than any advertising agency can ever do.

A careful Analytic study of the trend of successful businesses in Nigeria will show you that the Muslim, particularly the Hausa's are more successful in Businesses than any other section (Religion or Tribe). Economist will think its as a result of their Unity that helps them form cartels in any business they venture into, although that cannot be wrong, but one thing predominantly common with this people (Hausa's Muslims) are their Honesty when doing Business. Whether they are in the Dollar exchange business ( Bureau D' Change), Gold selling business Cattle rearing business etc. They all possesses that character of Honesty in their dealings. Little wonder why individuals will purchase Gold from an 'aboki' who you just meant at the market and does not have a store and one will be rest assured that its original
Their Business of Honesty depicts in all areas of their dealing, from their fair price to their kind gesture and patient manner of talking, these are among the things I respect their Koran for.

Am not a religion fanatic or a devoted Muslim, contrary to that am a devoted Christian and this is just a rational thinking and a challenge to all Young Entrepreneur and business men and women to try and be Honesty in their dealings and shun "quick" profit making in your business. An honest business man will only lose a little Now but gains much more later. Only does businesses that is built upon Trust, Honesty and Delivery can stand the test of time

Regardless of the Hate we might have in our heart towards this set of people because of the atrocities of Boko Haram we should not let it divides us, there are still lots of things we can love and learn from the Muslims
