Values of and for Afrikan Economic Pride

For the mighty Afrikan souls of the world, ultimate value comes from the Creator Supreme. There is no mistake in Afrikans being divinely bequeathed with the greatest wealth of all humanity. This magnificent people are superlatively endowed in their unique beingness and in their blessing of the most bountiful and resource rich soil of the earth – sacred Afrika. The divine value, crowned upon the Afrikan soul and gifted by the Creator Supreme is reflected in the values that these first and most magnificent people express in their lives. The natural self-wealthiness of the Afrikan and their divinely ascribed centrality in the sacred universe is crucial to righteous order in the world. As an important part of that centrality, full economic flourishing for the magnificent spirit people is an essential feature for the well-being of earth.      

The Maafa of recent centuries is a litany of foreign enemy terror of the most genocidal proportions.  Afrikans surviving the murderous onslaught were forced into the horror of the criminal alien plantation and subjected to a severely castrated existence as less-than-self expendables. Afrikans knew not whether they would live to see tomorrow nor whether they would be around the brothers or sisters they knew minute by minute. Long term visions, goals and planning for any sort of economic security even within the enemy confines of the most allowed freedoms became incomprehensible in this demonic hell. Relations necessary to build progressive economic ties were viciously destroyed. All that remained (at best) was the dire debris of survival existence making use of the cast-off scraps peddled as reward for having been kidnapped, tortured, robbed and murdered – ‘There-there, there’s a good boy!’. ‘There-there, there’s a good girl!’. The murderous alien criminal barbarian attempted to completely wipe out the natural substance of Afrikan life in knowingness of the Creator Supreme and all of the facets of Afrikan economy.

To this day far too many Afrikan souls are kept caged within the confines of enemy imposition. With all the ills of so-called ghettoisation (internal colonisation or colonisation in exile) and much else being enforced at every alien-dependent station of Afrikan existence. The destructive continuum persists. Racist police brutality and murder, coups, cultural decimation and a barrage of other wicked disruptions can render the same repetitious results. ‘No need to plan or build if there is no hope for tomorrow’. The enemy knows that with his imposed conditions of hell as a backdrop of existence, the Afrikan can remain disabled economically and otherwise as dictated by criminal alien ills.  

In progressive divinity, the Afrikan is restoring the knowingness of self that maximum flourishing self-determined economy is order bequeathed by the Creator supreme to the most naturally wealthy souls of world from the beginning. It is this knowingness that lives in the spiritual cultural fabric of life and is expressed in the values of and for Afrikan economic pride. As Afrikan souls creatively restores their way of life so too do they restore their righteous worldview and naturally wholesome eternal outlook of life. Thus, the vision, attainment, maintenance and safeguarding of the unique and pinnacle divine economic prowess is made real. The eternal deific economy of Osun (deity of power, wealth and prosperity) must surely be brought to fruition.

In highly accessible form, the values of the Nguzo Saba (Seven Principles) provide basic directives for Afrikan economy. The values of the Nguzo Saba are a foundational framework of living and none of the seven principles are mutually exclusive, though the principle of Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics) energises Afrikan economy thus:

Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics) - To build and maintain our own stores, shops and other businesses and to profit from them together.

The values of economic pride also emanate from messages from exceptional mass vehicles such of Afrikan ascendancy:

Be Afrikan! Buy Afrikan! And all else will take of itself!

Further, values emanate from the various sayings that Afrikan people recall from their age-old wisdom tradition, retained from generation to generation. In Kiswahili you might hear:

Mali mengi adui wengi (Much wealth brings many enemies)

Certainly, the most naturally wealthy people of the world have extracted the most savage and hostile foreign enemies of the world. The value message is a cautionary one to ensure Afrikan wealth is safeguarded. Whatever the Afrikan has the foreign criminal pirate wants to rob.

There are many phrases throughout the Afrikan world. In the Islands of New Afrika (so-called Caribbean) and elsewhere sayings such as the following can be heard:  

One-one cocoa fills the basket

In economic terms this speaks to the imperative for every Afrikan soul to make their meaningful contribution for the fullest glory of Afrikan economy.

It the value-rooted base of the Afrikan that provides successful functioning for the  Afrikan systems of economy. The traditional systems retained by Afrikan souls and referred to in some areas of diaspora as ‘Pardner’ is based on wholesome organised relationships – one Afrikan to the other. In this, the divine virtues of Maat that have been with the Afrikan from the earliest of times: Ukweli (Truth), Jaji (Justice), Haki (Righteousness), Kubadilishana (Reciprocity), Usawa (Balance), Maelewano (Harmony) and Ili (Order) are foundational. The Afrikan of trust unto each other and full economic flourishing of the self will surely ascend in Ukweli (Truth) for eternity:

Ukweli (Truth) – the truth of the Creator Supreme, the truth of the Afrikan divine Self, the truth of the Great Ancestors, the truth of the Afrikan experience in the world (past, present and future), the truth of enemy forces, the truth that Afrikan people must be attain, maintain and safeguard their liberty and be self-governing, the truth of ‘Afrika for the Afrikans – those at home and those abroad’.

Values of and for Afrikan life from the young to the more senior are essential of and for Afrikan economy and Afrikan economic pride. The wonderful annual observance of Ujamaa Kiburi Siku embodies this.  

Ujamaa Kiburi Siku is an Afrikan observance of and for economic empowerment and is part of the Afrikan cultural and spiritual calendar of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN). It is a day positioned at the time independence was fought and won by liberation fighters of the magnificently endowed country of Zimbabwe on the sacred homeland of Afrika. It is also the time marking the martyrdom of the economically prolific Afrika Town (Tulsa, Oklahoma aka Black Wall Street) of the diaspora. This wonderful day has its own symbols and practice.
