Garvey on the Harmonious and Complimentary Afrikan Male-Female Union in Organising for   Nationhood of Self

The supreme visionary Marcus Garvey worked tirelessly to see the ascension of Afrikan souls throughout the world throughout the various spheres of life. Rightly, he forthrightly advocated the establishment and maintenance of the  harmonious and complimentary Afrikan male-female union for his people. Despite having to necessarily terminate his first attempt at marriage, Garvey developed from the experience and sought a second wife whom he successfully found in Amy Jacques Garvey. Garvey knew the fundamental importance of such unions within the organisational context and provided words of instructive wisdom for potential responsibility holding officers within the Garvey Movement. Garvey’s  thrust for  nationhood was to be ordered, integrity-filled, victorious and for longevity. Garvey insightfully articulated  the following:  

“with the opposite sex, let your companionship be consistent and steady with one person. Don’t run around always with different people of the opposite sex”.

“It is better to wait to find the person with the majority of the qualities you like, than to rush into loving for a minimum of those qualities. As soon as you get over your passion, you will still be searching for those other qualities, and since that person does not have them, you will seek them elsewhere and break up”.

“First, investigate the character, disposition, temperament, behaviour and thought of the person and when you find in that person, along with good physical appearance as you like, all the qualities or as many of them as possible that would tend to satisfy you…through a lifetime, then love that person”.

“Never abuse a woman in public. Never abuse a man in public. Never make noise in your home. Never abuse your wife or your husband. Never make a fight where you are living or anywhere else in public”.

“Never make love to another man’s wife. There is always bound to be trouble. It creates scandal, which you will never be able to stop. It will ultimately ruin your reputation. Leave another man’s wife alone. A woman should do the same. Leave another woman’s husband alone. There has never been a case where doing such a thing has ever ended without scandal”.

Of course, any intentional and wilfully destructive abuse is destructive public or not. But Garvey was all too well aware of ‘opportunistic abuser’ seeking to obtain attention or support in the public arena potentially bringing about abject harm to the organised nation-building effort. Disorder, wilful ignorance, and inability to follow appropriate levels of instructive wisdom,  allowing incorrect interference  or following mis-advice of others steeped in ignorance (amongst other ills) can be of dire  inherent damage. Such ills operate to the glee of alien forces of anti-Afrikan agency.

Yet, the thrust of wholesome Afrikan male-female unions, life and nation must victoriously prevail  as they have throughout the ages of grand Afrikan civilsation, to be established in the now and for the eternity to come.
