When I think about the Prime Minister of Ethiopia, Dr. Abiy Ahmed, I remember what a Nigerian pastor once said: “There is no future.”
At first, it sounds strange — but it’s actually a very deep point.
Today is the future you were talking about 15 years ago. If you didn’t create it then, there’s nothing for you today. That’s why the future isn’t something you just wait for — you must create it.
Everything the Prime Minister is doing — the corridor development, the satellite cities, the economic reforms — it’s all part of building that future. It may not be perfect, but it’s a foundation.
If you don’t do the work today, there is no future.
The future fully depends on what you do right now.
“The future you were talking about yesterday… is the today you’re living in.”
