Hatua Saba (Seven Stages)- Garvey’s words on Pamoja (Togetherness)

Supremely blessed by the Creator Supreme, the primary and superlative people of humanity have developed powerful ways to realise their maximum potential and maximum capabilities. The continual results of which have been unique, tremendous and at the apex of human achievement.  The pinnacle prowess of the world’s most glorious and long-lived civilisations is the expression of a fully flourishing, self-governing and exultant Afrikan people. A people, placed in the centrality of the sacred universe by divine decree at one in the knowingness of the Creator Supreme and of the divine self. A people of their own liberty and nationhood. A people living in optimal wellbeingness throughout generational unfolding. It is obvious, that for the Afrikan soul any state of alien imposed unfreedom is anathema to full prosperity and wellbeing. The supreme visionary Marcus Garvey provided Afrikan people throughout the world with seven stages of growth and development necessary for the full expression of Afrikan life. In Kiswahili word for stages is Hatua. The Kiswahili word for seven is Saba. With the genius-filled work of the magnificent Marcus Garvey as a basis and the wonderfully harmonising example of the Nguzo Saba (Seven Principles), this author elucidates the Hatua Saba (Seven Stages) as follows:

Kuamka (Awaken), Mabadiliko (Self-Transformation), Kusambaza (Channel), Kazi (Work), Kujifunza (Education), Kuongoza (Leadership), Pamoja (Togetherness)

Pamoja (Togetherness) - To unite and keep together nations, not only for integrity and self-protection, but to also lead other set upon Afrikans to liberty from foreign enemy clutches.

The supreme visionary Marcus Garvey uttered the following profound words in relation to the Pamoja stage:

“Now we have reached the point where the entire race must get together and stop these [alien] schemers at their game. Whether we are light [of skin, dark] or what not, there is but one thing for us to do and that is to get together and build up a race. The [Creator Supreme] made us in [Divine Self] image and…had some purpose when [we were] thus created…Then why should we seek to destroy ourselves?...

We as a people, have a great future before us. [Afrika] shall once more see the day of her glory, then why destroy the chance and opportunity simply to be [something other than our true Afrikan selves]?

Let us work and [be steadfast], for our day of racial triumph will come. Let us not divide ourselves into castes, but let us all work together for the common good. Let us remember the sorrow of our mothers [and fathers]. Let us not forget that it is our duty to remedy any wrong that has already been [inflicted by alien forces], and not ourselves perpetuate the evil of race destruction….

All the [alien enemy] ‘gas’ about anti-lynching[, anti-this, anti-that] and ‘social equality’ will not amount to a row of pins, in fact, it is only a ruse to raise money to capitalise [alien] scheme[s] and hide the real motive. [Afrikans], ‘watch your step’ and save yourselves from deception and subsequent extermination”.  

Despite the horrific ills imposed by foreign forces in the Maafa of recent centuries, Afrikan souls of the world remain supremely blessed with all of the tools they need to bring about the imperative of pinnacle betterment for themselves. The challenge brings such endeavours as restoration and implementation to the fore. Surely as Afrikan people pick up their own tools that have been fashioned and shaped from the crucible of their own pinnacle genius flow the brilliancy of the greatest civilisations will again be made manifest, this time for eternity.  The Hatua Saba is a tool profound.
