With commentary reiterated from an article entitled Nationhood, first published on 16th June 2019

The sacred universe is the grand orchestration of the Creator Supreme. As such, it is by divine decree that the marvellous Afrikan souls hold centrality in this living sphere. The primary spirit ones of creation profoundly harmonise with this divine expanse eternal to orchestrate for themselves. From the magnificent substance of being gifted by the Creator Supreme the Afrikan brings forth the pinnacle example of nation. In knowingness of the Creator Supreme, born of sacred soil (the cradle of humanity and of civilisation), in oneness of spirit from spirit – this divine and superlative people hold the fabric for uniquely exceptional building. From the beginning the spirit souls of pinnacle genius have built and maintained the most prolific, glorious and long-lasting nations the world has ever come to know. This is essential life context provision of righteous ordered togetherness, safeguarded for maximum flourishing and ascendancy. For the Afrikan, nationhood is imperative spiritual and cultural mission. The magnificent hero Marcus Garvey outstandingly established nationhood as a key tenet of Garveyism – victorious fabric in the life of Afrikan people. The Kiswahili word for nation is Taifa.

The supreme visionary Marcus Garvey articulated the following words in relation to Nationhood, one of the core elements of Garveyism:

“When we, as members of [this organisation], talk about a government of our own in Afrika, a flag of our own and a national anthem of our own, some [Afrikans (coerced outside of themselves)] laugh at us, but we have only pity for them, as they know not what they do. When Uncle Sam lynches…[Afrikans] with her uniform on their back, and John Bull calls her ex-soldiers aliens who helped her in the Ashanti and Zulu wars to take big slices of Afrika, then it is high time for [all Afrikans to restore themselves and] to think [and act] in terms of [their own] nationhood

….we are determined to solve our own problem, by redeeming our Motherland Afrika from the hands of alien exploiters and found there a Government, a nation of our own, strong enough to lend protection to the members of our race scattered all over the world, and to compel the respect of the nations and races of the earth”.

Marvellously, courageously and victoriously Afrikan people in ever-increasing numbers are casting aside the pseudo-status and pseudo-success falsities that are imposed by the foreign thief whether it be through mis-education, religious doctrine, professionalisms or otherwise. With the knowingness of self Afrikan people are evermore clear that alien institutions serve alien ills. For the Afrikan nation-building skills and acumen is rooted in their own independent experience of glory. Nationhood is embedded within the spiritual and cultural fabric of the Afrikan way and the imperative elevation of nation is manifest with creative restoration of the Afrikan oneness of being.

The magnificent Marcus Garvey ensured that the spirit and mission for Afrikan nationhood is energised and enlivened in Afrikan souls throughout the entire globe. A supreme visionary and pinnacle pioneer of nationhood in exhile, Afrikans regardless of geographical location redeveloped and enhanced their independent nation-building acumen and powerfully asserted nation through prolific worldwide organisation.

Afrikans souls are superlatively endowed with nation empowerment. The challenge is simply to accept this grand inheritance and assert it in the world in order that real Taifa is brought to be and righteous order can prevail upon the earth.
