Celebrating the Empowerment of Self-Economy

The ageless truism that culture is civilisation and civilisation
is culture stands whatever sphere of operation the primary and spirit people of
creation operate within. Activities of or related to economic empowerment are
certainly no exception. Indeed, in the natural norm of this soul people’s life that
which may be deemed enterprising or professional consists of outwardly
expressed roles of their self-determined high culture. Or, put another way – their
natural norm of highly civilised living permeates life activity including those
related or of economic empowerment. To do otherwise, could surely not have yielded
the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist that are firmly etched
throughout the annals of the richly endowed Afrikan continuum.
Unfortunately, much of Afrikan life’s natural progressive norm has been destructively set upon during the Maafa of recent centuries. Throughout this period, the natural norm of Afrikan high culture with its embedded economic prowess has been derailed for multitudes of souls. Severed from their self-determined norm of rooted cultivation and highly civilised living, others of ill intended to perpetually disuse the Afrikan as a dislocated ‘object’ at will or whim. From acute imposition, multitudes of Afrikan souls became shoe-horned into a position where they were compelled to get along steeped in the dire deficit of abject uncultured-ness (or, un-civilisation).
So then, what of contemporary notions such as, ‘Nothing else is of any significance – just get business profit or career paid’? If the Afrikan is void of cultured living or civilised living and such living is deemed unimportant, then unhinged profit or pay may simply and exclusively fuel the ills of the deficit condition of un-civilisation.
It is surely non-sensical for this primary people as pioneers of culture and civilisation to be void of their pinnacle norms and values of excellence whatever their activity of engagement. These souls of naturally upright order surely have a duty and a responsibility to themselves to exercise their highly civilised brilliancy through cultured living. To do business or to have a career ought not be vehicles of total escapism to absolve themselves of their natural rooted substance of pinnacle civilisation simply to ‘get along’. Even in survival-mode amidst a barrage of non-Afrikan imposition, some level of cultural restoration and security in the best ways it is possible to do can be a great boon to Afrikan thriving in the now and in time to come. The imperative thrust of self-economy empowerment can be realised through an upright cultured and contributory step here or an upright cultured and contributory step there.
With the vital restoration of self-knowingness and cultured living, the Afrikan will flourish in business and in career because the die of self-determined pinnacle civilisation has been rightfully cast in its natural splendour. Indeed, the Afrikan will surely get along with their rightfully ordered mission of ascension and avoid the contaminant ills, self-destructive wrongdoings and the like of un-civilisation and self-economy deficit. Surely the Afrikan must!
Ujamaa Kiburi Siku is a wonderful part of the spiritual-cultural observance calendar of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation. It takes place in the first week of June marking the time of significant occurrence both on the continent of Afrika and in the diaspora concerning Afrikan economy. Ujamaa Kiburi Siku as with the other observances on the Afrikan cultural calendar is just that – an observance. Therefore, wherever the Afrikan is whether at home, at a community gathering or elsewhere it can be observed.
