From Camels to Credit: How Trade Keeps Business Moving

Let’s go back to 1000 BC for a bit.


The sun’s barely up, but the market is already buzzing. You then spot a merchant selling rare purple dye.

It’s expensive, but you know your customers back home will pay double. Only issue is you don’t have enough camels to carry it all back.


So, what do you do? You borrow one from your neighbor, promising to return the camel once the goods sell.


Right there, in the middle of sand mountains, donkeys, and daily deals, credit helped you move your trade forward.

Credit and trade have always kept business moving from dusty markets to bustling streets. Let’s see how;

Trade Needs Movement — and Credit Makes It Possible

Whether it’s loading goods onto camels or into keke and trucks, trade is about moving stuff.

But that movement costs something;  animals, transport fees, storage, packaging.

If you’ve got the goods but not the means to move them, credit steps in. It gives your hustle legs, or wheels, so business doesn’t stall at the starting line.

Not Every Trader Starts Big — Credit Fills the Gaps

Small traders have always been the heartbeat of the market. But even the best sellers run into moments when cash and opportunity don’t line up.

Back then, if you didn’t have enough to buy in bulk, you leaned on your trading circle. But now? You lean on credit.

It keeps your stall stocked, your deals rolling, and your money moving, even when the naira’s still in transit.

Trust and Trade Go Hand in Hand — Credit Builds That Bridge

That borrowed camel wasn’t given because you were rich. It was given because you were reliable. You paid back. You showed up.

Credit works the same way. It’s built on reputation and belief in your hustle.

When lenders trust that you’ll turn that loan into profit, they become part of your growth. And that trust? It’s the heartbeat of trade, then and now.

Bigger Trade Means Bigger Load — and Credit Helps Carry It

Let’s say that purple dye sold out fast. Now customers want more. You want to go from buying 10 pots to 100.

But expansion needs investment.

Just like you borrowed more camels to scale up back then, you borrow funds now to meet higher demand. Credit becomes your extra muscle, letting you level up without delay.

Because in trade, standing still means falling behind.

Trade Is All About Timing — and Credit Buys You Time

There are cases where items like rare spices or discounts are only available at specific times. 

If you pause to “wait for cash,” you’ll miss out.
But credit buys you time. It lets you act when the moment is hot, not when your wallet finally catches up.

In business, speed is everything. And credit keeps your wheels turning at the right pace.
