EVOLUTION OF   MICROFINANCE   AND GLOBAL  PRACTICES 1
It  is  unusually observed  that the concept  of  microfinance today  is the world  fastest growing  market technology and  the most  effective economic  model  ever contrived by man. It is more  appropriate  to poverty stricken climes  and redistributionist societies offering reliable salvation dividends complete with robust financial innovation required to empower extremely impoverished people of the world .It  is basically maneuvered not  only for grass root empowerment but also for development of sustainable  income generating  projects thereby uplifting  the living standard of the abject citizenry .And  in many  cases so to say help the poor build wealth  and exit  poverty . According to Grameen [1966] ‘it is the right of the poor ‘.
Initially the objective of the study was to target the industry in its pristine form and make comprehensive analysis in comparison to global practices. However it  was found out that a  growing body of relevant  researches and existing  literature abound which are hereby reviewed  in  this  piece  in  a  vigorous analysis resting  the earlier resolve .The  paper is divided into 4  sections  After the  introduction or the background the  concept  of microfinance falls  under sections 11 .Section 111  discusses  or takes a cursory look and  analysis of  the top  leading global institutions in  the industry. And section 1V concludes and touches or exhumes the local environment in Nigeria and its challenges and untapped potentials. However these sections are spread into several chapters for convenient and elaborate readership 
                   2.0 THE CONCEPT OF MICROFINANCE
Microfinance is  the provision of financial services  to the poor the  unbankable and the low income households without access  to formal  financial institutions[Conroy ,2003] Besides  being banking  to the poor its progammes are  broad based  which   make loans accessible to  the poor and savings mobilization are endorsed especially for advanced [MFIs]  in  addition  to other financial services are provided  to micro enterprises and  SMEs  needy businesses
Nevertheless of all the sectors of microfinance micro credit is a foremost element and a leading component in the industry opening up the economy of the underprivileged and a new lease of life for the marginalized communities and economically active poor.
                    2.1 MICROCREDIT   
According to Wikipedia  micro credit specifically refers to small loans to the unemployed to poor entrepreneurs and to those living in poverty who are considered unbankable .It is a unit of microfinance which is the provision of  a broader range of   financial services to  the poor It is also the  extension of  informal credit to the micro entrepreneurs. This  helps them engage in productive  venture .It has been touted as the last panacea for poverty alleviation in some countries .It succeeded immensely  being a largely driven private sector initiative and avoided being extremely  politicized  and consequently has also outperformed  all forms of development  lending [Abolo,2001]
Given  the unwillingness  of  the formal financial  institutions   and the poor innovation of the  sector which tends to be reluctant to micro enterprises  citing too much transaction costs associated with micro loans processing or the unreliability of  MSMEs dubbed as high risk  .A new market  for micro credit was developed where the  risk of default processing and other administrative  expenses for business start up are manageable 
Micro lending is a more effective complementary means to financial intermediation and a viable alternative to traditional practice of economic development .It empowers both individual and community for sustainable growth and development.
Its sets of principles are different from general financing or credit such as employment generation trust building micro entrepreneurial  capacity building micro entrepreneurial initiative development socialist development lending and a strategic tool for socioeconomic development .Micro lending empowers the individual which has a multiplier effect as they contribute economically to the development of the communities they live over the long haul .It is also a saving grace to the lab our market as formal sector large sized companies ‘ decline .
                 THE IMPORTANCE OF WOMEN AND GLOBAL ECONOMY
Women have been vital resource a predominant focus and increasing priority of micro credit institutions and agencies worldwide. Women loans are repayment proof nearly freed of default and more beneficial to the family than loans to men and have more socioeconomic impact while bridging gender inequality gap. They are a good credit risk asset managing credit more efficiently invest income towards family welfare .They also benefit higher social status as they develop capacity to provide increasing sources of family income .Experience has also shown that of the 1. 2billion poor people worldwide  women are in the majority and are responsible for the upbringing of tomorrow ‘s children .The consequence  is that the poverty of  women usually affects more humanity than it seems figuratively which leads to physical and  social underdevelopment of their children  laying foundation in stark negligence  for tomorrow’s mass poverty .
An  increasing number of  Microfinance institutions [MFIs] are beginning to focus on women borrowers – truly  the  world worst poor people .SKS microfinance Promujer  Nemaste Direct  LAPO in Nigeria  and the Grameen Foundation  among others currently emphasize  on the predominance of  women in the socioeconomic arena    and  informal  sector  market economy.
                  FEATURES OF MICROCREDIT 
1. Those that lack collateral
2. Individuals with no steady employment 
3. Lack of client verifiable credit history
4. Extension of micro loans and clients are unbankables.
5.Encourage grass root empowerment 
6.Execute self employment projects and boost micro entrepreneurial development.
7. The target is largely the informal sector.
                      THE ORIGIN  AND  TRADITON   OF   MICROCREDIT
According to Wikipedia  micro credit as a financial innovation originated  from  Bangladesh  where it  has succeeded  in  liberating  the  extremely  impoverished local peoples mainly the unbankables  enabling them exit poverty and build wealth and generate capital  through  self empowerment  and sustainable income generating  projects .Its success today has largely encouraged the adoption of micro credit technology into mainstream banking and attempt  was made to reclassify this league [unbankables] for the very first time  as pre bankable.
With this reclassification it is increasingly gaining ground and credibility in the mainstream finance industry  and various micro credit projects were contemplated  by large finance organization as reliable source of future growth .When it was begun by ACCION and  GRAMEEN in its modern incarnation in the mid-70s as a pilot projects only a very few gave it a chance of survival  let alone its nascent or  burgeoning global  institutional appeal .It  is  the industry  of  now and the future the  next big thing the last hope of the underprivileged  and the ideology of market  communalism.-the building block to Marxist homeland.
With the scathing remarks of the 1970s hardly dying away humanity had entered a new dawn and eventual potential relief for the less privileged was found as the industry evolved . The concept of micro credit can be traced back to portions of Marshall plan in the immediate post world war 11 the middle of 20th century .Some sources also link it back to the mid-1800s and the writings of abolitionist/legal theorist  LYSANDER SPOONER who was a crusader of the benefits of  numerous micro loans to the poor for entrepreneurial activities  as a way to alleviate  
Poverty .The New York Providence Fund is another tested historical source. All put together are launching pad to the incarnation and burst of the post -70s  . 
                 THE ANCIENT CONCEPT AND MORDERN  RENAISANCE
There are historical differences between the ancient and modern concept of micro credit as expatiated .But the origin of  the ancient started in Egypt where the ancients had  found a means  of buying now and paying later [creditisation]and the Egyptian equivalent of the term ‘charge it ‘came into being .When the Greeks came along a bit  later with their belief in the worth of  an individual citizen freeman became an exalted thing . That someone can be trusted in all aspects of life even commercial transactions influenced credit economy and the use of micro credit began to spread .The Romans  came later and were only their followers established procedures for this budding market Which evolved as micro loans setting penalties for default or failure to pay .
Therefore this indicate that  socialist lending began before capitalist  lending  and a proof that the ancients  started micro credit  and the entire credit market and provided a means of recording transactions laying down laws and establish man ‘s right to go into debt using the laws to regulate debtor[poor] – creditor [MFIs] relationship. Although it persisted through the millennia but the practice was heavily resisted due to its inadequate perusal as an incentive for egalitarian market economic building until fairly recent times. By the turn of 20th century when lending was well developed transcendent growth in science and modern   theories beginning from LYSANDER’S  among others  it regained  Pre eminence .though at a very slow pace until the 1970s of the YUNUS and ACCION 
The industrial revolution [1770-1914] could not have been possible without micro credit and the evolution of the works of cottage factories during the period s such as the pin manufacturing shops  noted by Adam Smith-[the exponent of laissez faire and classical economics ] could not have been possible without it and a contributory factor to Anglo Saxon or Germanic civilization .
                 SMES DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE AND INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
Professor Alexander  Geshenkron  in  a  comparative study conducted ‘Economic Backwardness In Historical Perspective ; A Book Of Essays [1962] England ‘ . He noted the success of industrial revolution in England  rested largely on the success of SMEs which require little capital to operate in  addition to founder’s specialized entrepreneurship . As  an  economy categorized as moderately developing  Germany also flourished during the period through them
 And  depended  heavily  on the Banking sector for their success . Likewise the quantum leap by  Japanese economy during the similar period  presented a more remarkable picture of the power of these wealth machines to support her  phenomenal  development  prior to World war 11 .The secret behind this economic miracle  according to Professor  Yamamuva  was simply  cultivated  by phenomenal growth in commercial lending to micro enterprises .This was made possible through the  great Zaibatsu – an equivalent of  modern development banking model . Today the world sole super power the United States followed similar universal pattern of mass development For instance Banks in Louisiana were noted to have relied heavily on SMEs as engine of growth and so heavily financed them for purposes of economic welfare  of the Nation ‘s citizens It is the same logic everywhere .The developing countries  also after independence have pursued   and implemented  similar policies  to no avail .owing to socio psychological self imposed barriers 
     THE     ADVENTURE   OF    MULTIDIMENTIONAL   MICROFINANCE
 With the emergence of  roaring 70s pragmatic microfinance has come to stay much touted  as  the  last  panacea in the eradication of  mass poverty and empowerment of the poor around the world .Beginning with micro credit  or micro lending has come to include a broader  range of value  -  added services [ credit savings micro insurance  micro housing  micro leasing etc]  Originally  according to Enugu Forum [ 2006] it is based on  traditional forms of community  financing  amalgamating ideals of traditional finance and development assistance – a sort of socialist lending has grown to become a household  name in the territories of Africa Latin America and  Asia  The microfinance movement evolved  in the early 1980s.and Bangladesh and Bolivia were noted as major protagonists at the forefront of the movement which has gained increasing patronage over the last 20 years from  multilateral agencies [ donor ] international financial  institutions [IF Is] and commercial bankers flocking to the business.
        THE  ROLE OF MICRO INSURANCE AND SUSTAINABLE  CAPACITY BUILDING
Getting down to the brass tacks  it is to be noted that the long standing boom in the industry cannot be possible without micro insurance It is the lynchpin of successful micro credit projects  oriented towards the sustainability of this venture especially undertaken  in a sensitive and responsive economy .Simply put micro insurance is the provision of grass root insurance services as a basic strategic tool to securitize the micro and  small  businesses from alarming  corporate mortality in an economy According to experts  its services provide a lasting solution against unpremeditated mortality common among MSMEs especially those trading with microfinance credits .
Evidence of  checkered antecedence abound in the nation’s history in which concerted efforts were made by successive administrations in the empowerment of the people through various micro credit projects and several poverty alleviation progammes Although each of this scheme Started well initially but fizzle out  along the line closing shops while the target masses returned to their former poor state  Their essence  was  to  serve  these unbankables and  marginalized   MSMEs .Insurance experts have noted that the schemes did die a  natural death  due to lack of  insurance .Consequently  could not provide a lasting solution to intended suffering  masses .BETTER LIFE FOR WOMEN  INITIATIVE and NAPEP were  prominent samples .This ignorance has ravaged  the country for along time  both   public and private sector  have wasted  millions of lives that could have  been saved  . 
With  the incursion of  microfinance banks [MF Bs] the problem has  persisted  haunting  ignorant  depositors patronizing their services where unsecured micro credit is the order of the day .Educating the masses on the method  to insure their deposits seem not to be their immediate priority .The  policy makers and industry operators perhaps are ignorant of the  implication  and  increasing corporate mortality in the country .The schemes practitioners are only interested in putting  down a condition   for accessing funds that are at best not truly insured  failing to save the future of the funds .
   FAILURE  OF   INSURANCE  PRACTITIONERS  TO CREATE  MASS  AWARENESS                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
Insurance  businesses  in the country  are basically metropolitan based and  hardly any awareness   being created  in  the countryside .As the formal sector insurance industry potential businesses and  market decline the level of awareness has refused to grow .Those who care about grass root limit their attempts to life  products  which is usually comprised of long gestation period not attractive and  affordable to the peasants  with no surplus funds to throw round or at best concentrated on third party motor insurance .They believed the grass root poor or common man has no muscle to flex around or pay much premium in comparison to former market size (Nwoji, 2008). Hardly a few concentrated efforts on grass root penetration even though  they claim to do so .This is vital because the poor need insurance more than the privileged considering the over 148million un served potential market .in the country .
According to experts micro insurance  is the solution to the failure of micro and small businesses especially those with micro credit  from MFIs It ensures sustainable capacity building both for the institution [supplier] and the target audience in the long run .In Nigeria today more than 90 percent do not have any  form of insurance  Hence it offers a reliable medium to address this huge gap and deplorable cultural barrier  that separates the nation from development market .Daniel[2009] also concluded it is characterized by low premium low coverage limits and sold as typical risk pooling and marketing arrangement are usually designed for low income people concentrating on marginalized grass root businesses  not served by mainstream typical social or commercial  insurance companies   
Ojinaka [2009] argues that it is more profitable  than all industrial risks put together. It is very  cheap pose fewer problems than the traditional insurance in  addition to the fact that the poor cannot instigate claims. To avoid failure of micro insurance projects it suggests group bonding based on societies bodies unions and associations as precondition for success .This distribution channels will be prime movers compounded with appropriate regulation monitoring and enforcement. Its sustainability would translate into sustainability of micro credit projects in the long run preserving capacity building .
          OPERATIONAL STRATEGY   PACKAGING   AND MARKETING  ARRANGEMENT 
Micro insurance  follows simple marketing arrangement For every micro credit project to be undertaken it should be attached .For instance where money is given to a borrower for a motor cycle  or  a  sowing machine insurance package  could be included using the distribution channels. It is a form of security and not a luxury the study noted .The road to sustainable  economic growth  can  be harnessed through this practice  liberating our people from mass poverty and sustain wealth  creation capacity. The strategy will take  care of mass market the petty traders farmers SMES and not saturated top market 
Few companies that have tested the virgin market can testify to its growing appeal and profitability. In 2009  the Group managing director of Mutual Assurance Akin  Akinbiyi  affirmed this potential   That his company main product was micro insurance He concluded  that with total income of  1.3billion naira coming from the sector in 2008 alone covering policies worth 100,000 naira  and per capital  premium payment stood at100 naira .While it also paid  over 300 million naira during the period as brokerage  fees  and  commission  on businesses in the sector .It is a promising experience that refocused the business as he pledged  never  to  run after government  account again.
Not only  will it grow the economy it  will also potentially combat crime violence theft and  prevents slums through development finance insurance .It can also prevent  frequency of losses
boost  competitiveness  and life  expectancy bridge gender inequality protecting education employment  generation  sanitation influenced population control and parade intimidating corporate profitability as in the case cited above .Unfortunately Nigeria is a non starter in the business compare to other advanced countries of Europe and Asia .The role of micro insurance is  to build capacity  nurture sustainable social development maneuvered to eradicate mass poverty transforming the dividends of successful micro credit project into dividends of  our nascent democracy . 
                   HUGE MARKET POTENTIAL
In  Nigeria today  our communities are lying dormant being heavily  humiliated  and  annexed   by  mass poverty .Thousands  of micro insurance companies will  be needed .For instance in Sierra Leone about 15 insurance companies  are currently  operating .Whereas Ijebu Ode Local Government in Ogun State has none presently which is the same size by population density  as the 3million people  in  sierra Leone if not more .Not to talk of  Alimosho local government formerly the largest local government in Africa before it was broken off into  6 local development Authorities Many countries  on its own  Even after the split the Ikotun -Igando LCDA alone is roughly the same size as Singapore and bigger than Equatorial Guinea Mauritius Sao Tome put  together and some states in the federation We are yet to see one single insurance company located there ,let alone a micro starter .The market potential is as huge as the  market  ignorance
           OTHER SUBDIVISIONS  AND  NEW INSTITUTIONS  IN THE MARKET
Besides micro credit  trade and micro insurance other sectors in the market  include micro housing micro leasing Micro health micro industry micro leisure micro banking and development finance a new innovation of Development Finance Group [DIG] .All this can be noted in the advanced microfinance market [ AMM]of Asia etc. 
With the new microfinance technology recently advanced by Microfinance Africa [MIFA] undoubtedly the world first potential microfinance rating bureau specifically focusing on highly untapped African market The entire world microfinance market had been reclassified as Advanced Grey Market [AGMMs] They are  advanced but certainly a grey market .Given the magnitude or enormity of mass poverty bedeviling the territories of Asia andLatinAmerica .Excluding the OECD Club the rest of the world are classified as Blockbuster Grey Market [BGMMs] .That is un developed microfinance market of the world . Even in the advanced market some 10 percent  poverty levels were found in the 90s [also AGMMs].The grey market of Africa Middle East parts of Asia and Latin America is highly extreme and  a blockbuster in that regard .We know the strategic benchmark is usually mass poverty  ravaging more than 80 percent   of world population should we use UNDP Poverty profile as calibration and not World Bank ineffective poverty line concept 
The entire formal market size institutions and models can easily be reclassified repackaged and imbibed into lower cadre microfinance  market where suitable  to enable the market diversify risk spread and  serve the complex needs of the  economically active poor while  keeping undiluted  the ideals of structural microfinance . .This is naturally expedient  thing  to  do and must be fully adhered. Given the fact that  the size of the  existing market institutions at a given  period    determines the adequacy  proportion  of development capacity and sustainable practice vital  to harness sustainable mass poverty relief  and  possibly  eradicating the menace  especially where microfinance neokeynesian  [MNKs] ethics are imbibed by  state political  will
This needs a good development planning .Many Institutions can be nurtured such as micro- finance hedge funds[MHFs/MIHEFs] microfinance investment banks[MIBs] and houses[MFHs] microfinance discount houses[MIDIHOs/MDHs] micro venture capital [MVCs] community sovereign wealth funds[COSOWEFs] private wealth fund [PWFs] micro asset managers [MAMs] micro mutual fund [MMFs] private equity microfinance corporation/shops [PEMS] and micro investment security institutions[MISIs] and a host of others have been advanced by [MIFA]as a means to spread wealth .This is more suitable for territories with large informal sector which often constitutes 70-80 percent  of the economy A nation can then have dual financial system adding the micro financial system to serve the  huge informal market  albeit better   with grass root  oriented  laissez fairer regulations  and micro prudential standard that are affordable to the microfinancial markets Most informal sectors if not all are heavily un served  and similarly underserved even with the effort of informal institutions tirelessly providing inefficient services .The above institutions would serve in the micro financial credit markets .
According to [MIFA] in   Nigeria alone they are to cut across the nation’s  entire 97,000 economically passive communities .With a good political backing the nation can create wealth worth more than  the U.S current G.D.P[15trillion dollars/2009 prices] prior to the maturity of Vision2020 and poverty can be eradicated in a decade or even less –It is an effective model one to tame the evils of inflation that the Keynesians and the monetarists  and the entire macroeconomists  have struggled in vain after over the last  30 years or more .But we seem not to believe our intellectual power desecrated  in favor of western models [i.e. outdated neoliberalism] that could not spread  wealth to the impoverished nations and   the potential of our population market[POM]  which is the major criteria in this micro-metric redistributionist  dual financial model .
Should China adopt this dual micro financial model how much wealthier will she be in terms of  GAPco-efficients  [not GDP] and then making efficient GDP size  in the long run since it has a very large poverty market and population market respectively. Nigeria can even be far richer than she does in this regard if  we consider the untapped wealth of her natural wealth the POM  size and making money from the export of this service to the rest of the developing territories  where the model actually fit in the same way  as the British export her financial services indisputably as the best in continental Europe Not left behind the full exploitation of her highly untapped  technology base and optimization of 60 percent of her arable land lying moribund it can indeed be a world superpower while  exploiting  the mystique of her ancient esoteric knowledge system like the IFA oracle in the Yoruba land  among other untapped esoteric religious power spread nationwide fully exploited  and  turned into science like the Anglo-Americans  
                          A   NEW  GLOBAL   ORDER : WLMNs/WOMILONs
Truly speaking in the World League of Microfinance Nations [WLMNs]  no top market nor  the  middle market is found .That could be extreme We may  come down to the level of poly-myopism  in the  industry and classify the noted markets as both top and mid-ranged while the least Developed Microfinance Nations [LDMNs] or  territories are non-starters mainly in  the Microfinance Dark  ages. Their grades are sensationally hyper-critical  and objectively over sensitive using the  menace enormity as measurement criteria and highly unprejudiced.
The neomarxist free market envisaged  to rival neoliberalism presently and even though through its instrumentality is far older than neoliberalism  has no global structure .With the rise of Bretton Wood treaty United Nations was formed in 1944 and named by FDR .The World Bank and the IMF followed thereafter spreading the tentacles across the globe .Hence a global structure was created based on the Keynesian ideology and by the late 70s to early 80s Adam Smith free market principles gained renaissance through neoliberal exponents  Milton Freidman and  Fredrick Von Hayek  The rise of globalization was added plus to western powers profiting immensely from its inequity  .On the hand the antiglobalisation protesters worldwide unfortunately  protesting at the cost of their lives have no voice which neomarxism brought as relief to their  salvation door .It is expected to cover world poverty market—approximately 80 percent of world population .To erect structure for elusive equalitarian globalization they  also need a voice –the international macro financial architecture to complement the effort of  global mainstream market 
WLMNs is equivalent to U.N. OR can be called United Nations For Macro finance [ UNFORM /UNFM ].
                       
SOURCES   OF     MICROFINANCE  FUNDING
THE BACKGROUND  PRINCIPLES OF  MICROFINANCE
CREATING  A  CONDUCIVE CLIMATE   FOR    ENTREPRENEURIAL   DEVELOPMENT
During the industrial revolution or Lysander’s period around 1800  J.B.  SAYS a French economist  observed that  an entrepreneur is the one that shifts resources  out of an area of lower yield into a more profitable avenue parading higher productivity and greater yield .But Says hardly   mentioned  who an entrepreneur is 
Centuries after the coinage by Says there had been total confusion about the emerging terminology The definitive appeal was highly vague and ambiguous It is not exactly clear whether a trader or a businessman who hardly create something new is an entrepreneur neither does  he create a new satisfaction nor a new demand 
Today it seems to include every tom dick and Harry in the business   Is that so 
Although  the neoclassical economist introduced the word  into our lexicon  the coming of Joseph Schumpeter did more than locate the place of entrepreneurship in the economic analysis Corroborating Lysander’s to a larger extent  Schumpeter once described the role and impact of combining  credit plus new means of income production flows .This  is  regarded as ‘ fundamental  phenomenon of economic development ‘ and the process known as enterprise is noted as the soul of  human material progress . Factors influencing this practice such as cultural development [dominant values] , human capital availability , institutional development and policy choices  according to [Utomi,2008]. are fundamental resources available to leadership for the prosperity of  their nations. Any abrasion against these ideals better explains why nations are poor .
Unknown  to the study More worrisome is the fact the ability of even leadership is heavily constrained in an ocean of ignorant follower ship or where objective follower ship is grossly lacking This would certainly bounce  back as  unbearable burden  on the former and could truncate earlier golden effort .Entrepreneurial revolution will be very hard  to  attain in the developing  territories unless a certain level of information democracy is  first attained . This promotes mass enlightenment as the very first requirement of advanced economies .The reason is clear; objective follower ship often  makes the work of ordinary leadership more effective . How so wise to follow this ideal which has distinguished the poor nations from the rich and mighty .Information democracy provides institutional incentives for the development of Utomi development factors [UDF] does not need an effective leadership where objective follower ship the very first requirement that could potentially nurtures the former is seriously  lacking or ill which can only capitalize capital underdevelopment. Since they control the natural forces that throw up incentive to nurture this leadership effectiveness it holds the ace for rapid capital development of vastly underdeveloped nation . Therefore the relative  proportion of information democracy existing in a socio- economic system determines the size of a nation ‘s development capacity
The truth is that only enlightened follower ship can demand for development It is a fundamental phenomenon of  socioeconomic development that catalyses entrepreneurial development as the very soul of human material progress .The submission also is that only robust socioeconomic system  can nurture maintain sustain and safeguard virile economic system as a platform for entrepreneurial revolution Building up cottage industry from the scratch into a multinational is made possible by such Para macro- economic efficiency. Once social value is created  economic value where created and possible   can then be  sustained  and leveraged for capital development [not sustainable development ] to build  which is the last  stage in the development cycle. market. If indeed this process ‘enterprise ‘ is the soul of human material progress information free market  as a social enterprise  is the very soul of social material progress  .Value innovation can truly  be cultivated by it which is the  primary function of an entrepreneur .
A micro entrepreneur was identified as the steam engine  of industrial revolution   The  strategic impact of this revolution which was nothing less than  the promotion of economic freedom and was first made possible by art of  social freedom [information democracy] promoted by the Renaissance [1300-1600]  Although a leading exponent of monetarism professor Milton Friedman once noted that without economic freedom there can be no political freedom  Circumstances over the last 500years of western civilization has proven otherwise that social freedom is the totality of all freedom brands in the face of ever elusive cultural freedom underpinning the institution of liberty and that without intellectual freedom there can be no spiritual freedom and without spiritual freedom also  there can be no intellectual freedom .Also without intellectual freedom  there can be no economic freedom and without economic freedom there can be no political freedom. This formed the auto –freedom art of social enterprise or what is called the Great Charters Of Liberty [GCL]  functioning according to noted equation which provide a virile framework for a robust socioeconomic system .Inability to liberate the auto-run device of this art has often dampen development zeal in the  developing countries market greasing the cycle  of counter-development trap imbroglio boosted by the separatist league  and then the elusive search for mass development and entrepreneurial revolution  perennially persisted in vain. 
 Utomi [2008] once noted why is high value enterprise  not so easily pursued  by a lot of interested individuals that really desired to make huge profit .This is not really linked to risk or unpredictable outcomes per say but the realm of this socioeconomic system is structurally beleaguered  perpetually  alienating the nation from  potential development density that might take  centuries to   nurture     and  recover .Therefore the cost implication of development  forgone accumulated over time multiply as mass poverty truncating the effect leverage  of development market policy choices and successive institutional legacies without remorse 
The  practice  of microfinance today in Nigeria has been fraught with structural indignities. Unmanageable credit risk steep interest rates  increasing repayment defaults strategic market deleveraging   and lack of national  disposable data resources are symptomatic evidence of  poor performance and lack of national micro financial system .Even where the risk or noted defects are avoided the entrenchment and optimization  of the system is another matter The climate noted above must be created for any successful microfinance projects to be cultivated They formed the principles of  socioeconomic microfinance that will  ensure a sustainable and conducive platform for its cultivation  launching entrepreneurial revolution in the long run. These are background principles not related to the industry but a necessity for its success . And Upon this framework the fundamental principles of microfinance can be successfully launched . It not only determines the quality of the practice but  also strengthens  and multiply its socioeconomic impact .In the microfinance developed territories or advanced grey market besides OECD Club  this is grossly lacking or less exploited which fully explains why poverty is still very high there Besides India which unluckily has extensive population market Bangladesh and Bolivia are a poor sample of the industry  general problem and the ailment  of  microfinance usual ineffectiveness and market  insensitivities .  Policies and institutions have been a colossal failure due to this challenge that took half a millennium for the Anglo Saxon  to  battle  which can only be prevented  by resolving the identified socioeconomiasis  .The dichotomy between the rich and poor nations was linked to this factor .It is both internally and externally imposed  and no matter how they try it keeps strangulating every projected future development agenda from attainment in the territories.
