Roget, it’s called globalisation

He and those who follow him blindly are clearly the ones suffering from, according to him, “post-colonial mentality syndrome.” Roget must see that it’s called globalisation, defined as the process by which businesses or other organisations develop international influence or start operating in an international scale.

Any country driven by a government with vision embraces globalisation in order to create sustainable growth and development for the betterment of the country and its people.

We have seen evidence of globalisation over the years with the introduction of visionary companies in various sectors such as automotive and transport, food and beverage, consulting, energy and gas, computer hardware and services.

These include Toyota Motor Corp, Coca Cola, PepsiCo, KFC, Nestle, PriceSmart, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Ernst & Young, BP, Halliburton, Xerox Corp, and IBM, to name a few.

These organisations boost the economy by creating jobs at all levels and also partner with local suppliers and manufacturers for the supply of goods and services.

I wonder if Roget or any relative or associate has ever patronised or worked in any of the above companies or whether they boycott them because “massa day done?” So Roget, if BP can “take their rig and go,” should all foreign-based companies do the same? Will you be providing jobs for all, or only demanding them?
