Are you from a community in Imo state, “Eastern Heartland”? 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, God sends you 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 Imo, 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: Imo state was created from Anambra state 1976, and has about 170 communities who are all part of the Igbo ethnic group. Imo communities have different myths, festivals, stories and legends, which they can refine and use for arts, entertainment and sending their message to the world. Some of these communities have several tourist attractions like….
HUMAN RESOURCES: based on recent estimates, Imo has a population of 6 million industrious and enterprising people. And some prominent people from Imo state who can contribute to the socio-industrial liberation and prosperity of Imo people: Kanu Nwankwor, Kanayo O. Kanayo, Charles Oputa, Linda Ikeji, Genevieve Nnaji, Joe Ajaero, Osita Iheme, Rochas Okorocha, Hope Uzodimma, Emeka Ihedioha, Felix Chidi, Sam Iwuajaku, Ifeanyi Ararume, Chinedu Uba, Emeka Nwosu.
NATURAL RESOURCES: Imo covers about 4.416 square kilometers. And most of the communities have heavy annual rainfall and arable land that can support various types of agriculture like palm, maize, rice, yam and cassava. Also various communities have big deposits of natural gas, bauxite, ceramics, iron stone, petroleum, sand stone, kaolin, pyrite, lignite and clay (mostly untapped).
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 great entrepreneurial and industrial disposition, Imo state has and can still produce high level marketers, 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 Imo can also make technical products based on the mineral resources in their lands, such as:
OIL AND GAS – for petroleum products like gasoline, diesel, heating oil, jet-fuel, petrochemical feedstock, fuel, waxes, lubricating oils, asphalt, and other chemicals.
BAUXITE – for aluminium in vehicles, electronics, construction, utensils and is the main material in making airplane. It is also used in other industries 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.
CERAMICS – Ceramic utensil and industrial equipment
IRON STONE – for making steel
SAND – used in detergents, cosmetics, toothpaste, solar panels, silicon chips, paints, chemicals and mostly buildings. In chemical industry, industrial sand is the primary component in chemicals used to make household cleaners and fiber optics. As foundry in metal industry, it is used together with clay-moulds to cast metals into desired shapes. In construction, it is used for flooring, mortars, cements, stucco, roofing shingles, skid-resistant surfaces and asphalt. In oil and gas recovery, it is pumped down holes in deep well applications to prop open rock fissures and increase the flow rate of natural gas or oil.
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.
PYRITE – used together with gypsum in making wall board, plaster and cement.
LIGNITE (Coal): lignite is mainly used for generating electricity. But in other cases it could also be used in synthetic natural gas generation, fertilizer production and home-heating.
CLAY – in making cement
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.
