Are you from a community in Abia state, “God’s own state”? Do you think your people can achieve more social or industrial excellence if they have the liberty to own and control their lands, resources and socio-industrial destiny?
Today, you are sent to take the message of intercultural liberty to your community and their neighbors for them to prepare to manifest the greatness that God put in each community at the coming Tour of Liberty. For your people were not made to depend, survive and endure, but to prosper and manifest abundance to other people in Abia, Nigeria, Africa and the world. This Tour of Liberty will lead to the discussion and creation of private property rights in a Restart National Conference for each community or individual to own and control their lands and resources (cultural, human and natural resources). For, despite government beautification of the place, as long as the communities and individuals lack control of their lands and resources for socio-industrial growth, they are still under neo-colonial bondage.
CULTURAL RESOURCES: Abia state was created from Imo state in 1991, and has over 180 communities, and they are of the Igbo ethnic group. The different Abia communities have different festivals, stories and legends, which they can refine and use for arts, entertainment and sending their message to the world. They also have National War Museum, Arochukwu Caves, Azumini Blue River Tourist Village; Akwette Weaving Centre; the Long Juju Shrine in Arochukwu, Museum of Colonial History in Aba and other tourist centers.
HUMAN RESOURCES: based on 2008 INEC register, Abia has a population of 3 million highly enterprising people. And some prominent people from Abia state who can contribute in the socio-industrial liberation and prosperity of the people in Abia include: Enyinnaya Abaribe, Cosmas Maduka, Onwuka Kalu, Mao Ohuabunwa, Don Jazzy, Arumma Otey, Ihejirika, Basket Mouth, Kanu Nwankwor
NATURAL RESOURCES: Abia covers about 5.243 square kilometers of land. And most of the communities have heavy annual rainfall and arable land that can support various types of agriculture like yam, maize, cocoyam, rice, cashew, plantain and cassava. Also various communities have large deposits of crude oil, glass sand, limestone, salt, shale, clay, gypsum, Kaolin, Phosphate, Laterite, Granite, Marble and Feldspar
Potentials for these resources with the activation of private property rights in Nigeria
Cultural: since they have different communities, they can develop several movies, books, stories, games, and arts to project their story of harmonizing their differences to manifest their intercultural liberty.
HUMAN: nicknamed as the industrial hub of Nigeria, Abia state can produce high level engineers, scholars, doctors, writers, athletes and professionals in all sectors of the economy.
NATURAL RESOURCES: apart from various foods that they can massively produce when they fully engage in mechanized agriculture, the different communities in Abia can also make technical products based on the mineral resources in their lands, such as:
Crude oil – for petroleum products like gasoline, diesel, fuel, heating oil, jet-fuel, petrochemical feedstock, waxes, lubricating oils, asphalt, and other chemicals.
Glass sand – for glass (mixed with sodium oxide, limestone, dolomite and feldspar)
Limestone, clay and shale – for cement
Gypsum – for cement, wallboard, plaster
Kaolin – for film formation, fibre extension, polymer extension, chemical composition, carrier (pesticides and pharmaceuticals) adsorbent, diluent and polishing agent for teeth, automobiles, soft-metals like gold and silver.
Phosphate – detergents, personal hygiene and construction
Granite, Feldspar and Marble – for tiles, furniture finishing, building rocks, paving stones, monuments, slabs and gemstones.
When communities and individuals take control of their lands and resources, then they can partner with various groups and well-regulated investors to properly use these resources to prosper and manifest their abundance.
