Are you from a community in Gombe, “Jewel in the Savannah?” Do you know your people can build 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 starting in November. 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 just to depend, survive and endure, but to prosper and manifest abundance to other people in Gombe, Nigeria, Africa and the world. This Tour of Liberty will lead to discussion and institution 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 environment, 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: Gombe was created in 1996 from Bauchi state, and has several groups and languages like Waya, Bolewa, Fulani, Tera, Tangale, Kanuri, Jukun and others that are spread across over 100 communities. And these communities have various legends and festivals, which they can refine and use for arts, entertainment and sending their message to the world. Apart from their various tribal languages, they generally speak Hausa and English language.
HUMAN RESOURCES: based on the 2008 INEC register, Gombe has a population of about 2.3 million vibrant and brave people. And some prominent people from Gombe who can influence this socio-industrial liberation process and prosperity for Gombe people include: Amina J. Muhammed, Isa Ali Pantami, Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo and Abubakar Shehu-Abubakar.
NATURAL RESOURCES: Gombe covers about 17,470 square kilometers of land and has moderate rainfall. Most of the communities have vast and arable land to support various types of agriculture like guinea corn, maize, millet, tomatoes, vegetable, groundnut and cotton.
POTENTIALS FOR THESE RESOURCES WITH THE ACTIVATION OF PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS IN NIGERIA
CULTURAL: since they have different ethnic communities, they can develop movies, books, stories, games, and arts to project their story of harmonizing their differences to manifest their intercultural liberty.
HUMAN: with as much as 2.3million people and vast arable land, Gombe has and can produce high level farmers, scholars, doctors, athletes and professionals in all sectors of the economy.
NATURAL RESOURCES:
Even though they do not seem to harness their mineral resources like coal, gypsum, limestone, clay, uranium, kaolin, lead, zinc and others, their vast arable land can massively produce and improve from mechanized farming.
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.
