Land, Resource of Self and Other Natural Resources: What of Economic Governance?

It was from the self-governing norm of Afrikan people from which the world’s greatest and most enduring civilisations came and were directed. Self-governance had its various levels of application and naturally permeated the spheres of Afrikan life. Indeed, the area of economic functioning had to be defined, shaped and governed by this primary people whom such functioning served.

According to a mainstream source, the term economic governance attracts the following meaning:

“Economic governance consists of the processes that support economic activity and economic transactions by protecting property rights, enforcing contracts, and taking collective action to provide appropriate physical and organisational infrastructure”.

In order to bring focus specifically upon the Afrikan experience, it is considered apt to adjust the sourced detail. In so doing, the following can be expressed:

“Afrikan Economic governance consists of the spiritual-cultural fabric of Afrikan life, Afrikan-determined processes and structures that realise and secure Afrikan economic flourishing throughout the various levels of the Afrikan self. Here, economic activities are uprightly directed by Afrikan in service of Afrikan ascension. Afrikan economic governance is realised through Afrikan organisational prowess and the engagement of this people’s foundational economy math formulation: Afrikan land + Resource of Self and Other Natural Resources = Functional Afrikan Economy”.  

Unfortunately, in dire conditions of interruption and disruption, Afrikan souls may be derailed from their natural norms of self-governance of economy or otherwise. Despite the destructive efforts of others that mean the Afrikan ill, it is only Afrikan souls themselves that can restore their rightful order of self-governance in economic functioning. This necessarily requires the recovery of a level of self-knowingness. From whatever locale, station, level or status this soul people can – and surely must – take progressive steps forward in this regard.

If the self-governing Afrikan of yesteryear was able to bring forth the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist, then surely the recovery of self-governance in the now can propel the Afrikan to their natural norm of optimality. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.  

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.
