How African Nations Can Liberate Their Economies in the 21st Century


"You can fool some people, sometimes. But you can't fool all the people, all the time."
                                                                                     -Bob Marley/Get Up Stand Up

Due to invasion after invasion into the continent of Africa, by the means of physical warfare, intellectual warfare, religious warfare, economic warfare, and a host of other subverting activities, the nations of Africa have literally been ravished for its people, nonrenewable resources, and capital for the past five hundred years. The withdrawal of material from one geographic area can only be sustained for a finite period and the withdrawal is also telling of the actual reality in this world.

The ancestors and Deities of Africa enriched this continent and its people, with immense wealth. Contrary to popular belief, Africans and the continent of Africa are rich. Africans have provided so much value to the world, to have impoverished people in any area of Africa, considering the amount of wealth being extracted from the continent, means the control of African resources is being outsourced (taken out) to foreign nations including Europe, Asia, and the United States. In other words, the continent is being spoiled, like in terms of war and its riches are being divided among the victors.

Understanding that the entire continent of Africa is suffering from an unpublished, undeclared war is the first step. Identifying the various sources of this warfare and its conspirators is the next step. For the past five hundred years, African voices have been silenced, kidnapped, enslaved, or killed. Those voices were raising awareness of the hypocrisies of the system, which exposed the raw truth of the reality facing Africa and its people.

So, how do nations inside Africa, stop the export of their wealth, the exploitation of their people, and the manipulation of their economies to Foreign Banks, Corporations, and Countries? Continental and National Protectionism... This economic policy has served Great Britain, the United States, and many of the European Nations, as well as Japan, very well over the past five centuries. Forget free trade, this concept does not exist in absolute terms and open markets have generally lead the nations of Africa to its current state of precariousness. If, the African Union, or individual national Assemblies can carefully devise a plan of Protectionism for each of its member nations, then the tides including the current of wealth extraction to foreigners will immediately turn to the import of wealth because the same greedy, smiley, Financiers of African goods and materials, still in need will finally have to pay true market value plus tariffs to sustain their current and future markets. The result will be an exchange of power back from the buyer to the supplier of wealth in the world. Sounds easy, think twice.

Remember, there has been an unpublished, undeclared war on Africa and it peoples for centuries. One cannot simply ask his enemy to take his boot out of ones neck. In fact, one should expect additional blows from insulting the position of victory of the enemy. Instead, African Nations must play the game of war in return. Freedom is not won with flowers, nice words in apology, and easy truces. Freedom is hard fought for with sweat, tears, blood, and causalities. The liberation of Africa will take nothing short of war and all wars must begin with a distraction to create an enemy image. For example, if massive nation wealth is being extracted from the people by organized religious means, then publish how religion negatively affects the people (Priest steals money or molests children) and reenpower the Religion of our Fathers to replace the foreign organized religion. Of course the re-emergence of the traditional religions must be organized, based on facts, and reformed to suit the wellbeing and interest of the community and people. But understand, that the wealth once being extracted by Foreign religion to outside countries, will now flow inward to the people. Turn the tide of religious warfare.

If, wealth is being physically extracted by means of commerce in economic warfare, then again, create a distraction, undeclare a physical economic war, with the foreigner as an enemy image. Stop trade of whatever the mineral or material due to an incident. Then declare that there is much less of the material then originally thought. If you have to stop trade for months to years, it is profitable to gain this upper hand in trade. The buyer must supply his markets and can only hold out for so long and he can even leave to find other suppliers. But you, now control the goods, the prices, how much you want to sell and for how much. In fact, attempt to process the goods into the same finished product that the buyer wanted to make, and you have not only become his competitor, but you have become his competitor who can sell to him... A rival is now what you are and beware because this is a game of war & chess. However, because of the steps you've taken, your no longer a pawn piece, you are the King, and the nation now looks to you in value and not the foreign buyer.

If, wealth is being taken out of the village by intellectual warfare, then you must study, how are you being attacked intellectually? If you are being taught that being White or European has more value than being African or Black, or that being Arab, Muslim, Christian, American, European etc. is more valuable and more right, and that everything about your community, region, tribe, or clan is wrong, then you must clearly define what your community is and at every chance in books, television, school, and internet show how smart, beautiful, and great your very own culture is. You must also paint the foreigner in a less admirable, negative view. This will tilt the intellectual warfare in your favor. You and everthing that is African, will become great, normal, righteous, and good. While the foreigner will become small, petty, unrighteous, and not good. Once you are believed to be smarter, then nothing intellectually can stand in the way of your community! You will produce miracles and wonders where once was no hope of good.

If, your nation is being attacked by physical warfare, with internal factions... To Be continued.

The Plan...




There has been decades of discourse, conventions, and protests about the state of Black Americans in America. Our leaders and prophets have been killed or silenced, and our situation has become precarious. So, as an Amaye-Obu, let me give you the allegory of the cave. A continent so enriched in material wealth (like salt, silver, gold, diamonds, oil, lithium, uranium etc), is not meant to have an impoverished people. A people who live on a continent as blessed as Africa, are blessed by the Ancient Dieties to be wealthy. To live in a world where the exact opposite is true is a backward reality. So, do not be fooled... Cast off your shackles and lead humanity into the new golden age of the Spirit.

Black Americans are truly a wealthy people and they come from a truly wealthy place. Even now, the wealth is being sold, manipulated out, or flat out stolen. How backwards we have allowed ourselves to become. But the first rule in finding the truth is recognizing you've been tricked. So, I challenge Black Americans in 2014 and 2015 to take the $1.1 trillion dollars we spend and spend it among Black Businesses and Black products. And let us start to regain, what is truly ours in the first place. Say no, to being enslaved to a system that takes your money to pay the bills and yes to a system that employs your people, love, values, community, and spirit. Let me help you, with The Plan...
