Celebrating Economy of Self

What sort of visionary capabilities do Afrikan people naturally hold to have established the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to have existed? Without doubt, superlative ones. Such capabilities would also naturally apply to all of the necessary self-determined areas of Afrikan functioning that allow for their grand civilisations to have been brought into fruition and sustained. This includes the arena of economy.
According to a contemporary mainstream source:
“An economic vision is a long-term, overarching perspective on how an economy should ideally function and develop, encompassing goals, priorities, and strategies for achieving desired outcomes like prosperity, sustainability, and equity. It provides a framework for decision-making and guides actions towards a desired future state of the economy”.
In order to bring focus specifically to the Afrikan experience
“An Afrikan economic vision is a self-determined long-term, overarching view on how Afrikan economy is to function and develop to service the fullest flourishing and security of Afrikan souls here, there and elsewhere. It naturally encompasses goal setting, establishing priorities and the devising and implementation of strategies for achieving prosperity and other rightful outcomes of thriving for Afrikan people regardless of geographical locale. It provides a framework for effective decision-making amongst the Afrikan number and guides actions into upright service for perennial Afrikan economic ascension”.
Unfortunately, others that mean the Afrikan ill, may take it upon themselves to attempt to disrupt or destroy Afrikan economic vision and its effective implementation. Whether through open hostile attack, creating mischief, or via the concoction and peddling of anti-Afrikan propaganda. Twistedly and deceitfully, others of ill may seek to bogusly project that their self-serving efforts of ill are for Afrikan benefit. Meanwhile, the plundering of Afrikan resources is conveniently veiled. Indeed, it may be useful to ask: What do those others envision for Afrikan life? A cursory glance at the histories of enslavement, colonisation and others dire disorders surely provide consistent answers.
Certainly, there are lessons that Afrikan people can learn from this even at the person level of day-to-day living. Afrikan souls surely ought to avoid mischief-making activities intentionally set to thwart upright Afrikan economic vision. If every time a step forward is made in service of upright Afrikan vision engagement, and is met by a negative counter action of disorder by a perpetrating soul bent on ill-targeting of a soul of rightful ascension then doom is surely given a welcome invitation. Of course, a deceptive guise of ‘do-gooder’ can be utilised as smokescreen cover for despicable acts of wilful wrongdoings. Intentionally harmful gossip-mongering and the spreading of falsehoods motivated by petty jealousy, negative ego and dire lust to court some perceived ‘status’ whilst destructively targeting upright souls of ascension is foul at best. The genuine soul of goodness and upright support has no need to even conceive of counter-measuring activity laced with ill-motivations. Indeed, the genuine soul of good would secure against such folly.
Afrikan souls can do themselves a great service by recovering knowingness of themselves and authentic cultured living (creatively restored or otherwise). With this, superlative Afrikan vision can be effectively restored and implemented within the realms of economic functioning and otherwise. 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.
