Are you from a community in Enugu state, “Coal City 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 gospel of intercultural liberty to your community and their neighboring communities for them to prepare to manifest the greatness that God put in each community at the coming Tour of Liberty. This intercultural liberty is the belief that:
“there is something great in every community and culture, and so, they all deserve the liberty to own, modify and use their cultural, human and natural resources to prosper and to manifest their greatness to their communities, nations, continent and the world. And that the four institutions of public regulation (government, religion, academia and mass media) are only made to support these communities and their members to manifest their greatness.”
So, your people are not made to depend, survive and endure, but to prosper and manifest their abundant light to other people in Enugu, 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 will remain under neo-colonial bondage.
CULTURAL RESOURCES: Enugu state was carved out of Anambra state in 1991, and they proudly belong to the Igbo ethnic group who are spread over 150 communities of the state. Enugu communities are very rich in culture, arts and crafts, and have different festivals, stories and legends, which they can refine and use for arts, entertainment and sending their message to the world. Some of these communities also have several tourist attractions like new yam and Mmanwu festivals, Nike Lake Holiday Resort, Miliken Hill, Iva Valley Coal mines, Ezeagu Tourist Complex, Nkalagu Silicon Sand, and Uzo-Uwani Natural Paint.
HUMAN RESOURCES: based on recent estimates, Enugu has a population of 3.3 million very industrious people. And some of the prominent people from Enugu state who can contribute to the socio-industrial liberation and prosperity of Enugu people: Fr Ejike Mbaka, Samuel Maduka Onyishi, Ike Ekweremadu, Peter Mbah, Chris Ibe, Barth Nnaji, Kenneth Okonkwo, Allison Madueke, Okwesilieze Nwodo, Frand Edwards, et al.
NATURAL RESOURCES: Enugu covers about 8,727 square kilometers. And most of the communities have heavy annual rainfall and arable land that can support various types of agriculture like yam, oil palm, rice and maize.
Also various communities have large deposits of coal, limestone, iron ore, crude oil, natural gas and bauxite.
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: With their industrious disposition and natural resources, Enugu state has and can still produce high level farmers, managers, diplomats, engineers, scholars, doctors, bankers, writers and professionals in every sector of the economy.
NATURAL RESOURCES: apart from various foods that they can massively produce when they fully engage in mechanized farming, different communities in Enugu can also make technical products based on the mineral resources in their lands, such as:
COAL (LIGNITE): for generating electricity, and in synthetic natural gas generation, fertilizer production and home-heating.
CRUDE OIL AND GAS – for petroleum products like gasoline, diesel, heating oil, jet-fuel, petrochemical feedstock, fuel, waxes, lubricating oils, asphalt, and other chemicals.
LIMESTONE– wall board, plaster and cement.
IRON ORE: for making steel
BAUXITE: for large-scale aluminium, which is then used in vehicles, electronics, construction, utensils and airplane; and for chemicals, refractory, abrasive, cement, steel, petrol, rubber, plastic, paint and cosmetics, then in construction, paper-making, water purifying and petrol-refining. It is soft and red, and rich in alumina.
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.
