Understanding Products and Services in Levels, Featuring Crab Island TVET as an Example

The world of wealth or trade can be categorised as products or services. Yes both natural products and services, and man-made products and services exist. However, the key thing that I am trying to bring in this article has actually more to do with levels. At an individual level, national level, and continental or world level -- It becomes vital to gauge what is your level in the world of products or services? It may be right to add: we may divide such into at least three parts. That is the head, the thorax, and the diverse tail. Of course that is just a general division for this particular article, but we will need a much wider division or levels depending on the industry. I can say service is arguably the first and the last, but that does not mean products are not important. As a matter of fact, I am urging Africa to focus a whole lot more on products without ignoring the importance of services, especially head services.

So you may ask why do I have to add Crab Island Technical and vocational Education Training (Tvet ) as an Example? About a little over a month or two ago , I was invited to a crab Island graduation ceremony, and some of the speakers triggered a need for public response or lecture.

God made me a man, a black person, a born Gambian or African, but also a human In a very small earth. I can be described as a universalist, meaning I have to admit the realities of countries and continents and many other things, but see myself as somebody who is on earth for a mission. Coincidentally, I am lying down under a sun that serves the whole earth and other planets, having a nice sun bath. If the sun is serving the whole earth, then we can believe that we are also under one God, serving us differently. The sun is a product, but all it offers are services. The services the sun offers to different countries, even within Africa, vary. From a feeling perspective, it is subjective. However When it comes to benefits, there are many other ways to check value beyond feelings. I don't want to go too deep into that because that may lengthen the article. Before going to something more interesting, we can also take a look at let's say parents. We can say by and large, throughout history, the fathers tend to offer more like products, and the mothers offer more like services. Again it is hard to say if the father is more important or the mother, or close enough. Or check way beyond yourself to understand those roles may even change depending if we are talking about the age of culture in which areas, the age of religion, and our modern age of governments.

Now on a more interesting level, man-made products and services are slightly much more complex in a sense. I believe almost throughout history, Africa under-valued the importance of enhancing the mind or learning in a nutshell. This does not mean that we were totally negligent of every form of learning, but it is clearly evident that most man made products of recent history were invented outside Africa. Debating that history may be useful but I think much more useful is how do we help Africa to be much more productive In the world of products and the aspects of services we are yet to really value highly.

Again, during the graduation ceremony of Crab Island Tvet, ,mr. Ousman Sillah mentioned his desire to include production at the Tvet. The word 'production' was very interesting to me when he mentioned it. However, I do not think he even understood that he was mentioning it in a vague manner and what level of production is his ambition? If I am not mistaken he was referring to Metal work. I may have to weave. Quote the other guys. Mr Muhammed Jah was the Chief guest of honor , and I think he gave the most impressive speech, but also inadvertently made a blunder in effect, he may not realize, even if he meant well. I do not think it makes much sense to repeat the many important good points he made, you can get that on the internet. However as a trusted person, who is deemed successful, when he said something that can be likely misinterpreted and cause harm, It becomes vital to respond publicly, to minimise the damage. In a nutshell he wrongly compared the Gambian workers with the Senegalese and the Nigerians; But worse is he insinuated parents should be harder on the children. Even insinuating food denial? The third speaker I want to deal with is Mr Baba Sillah, who mentioned 'Women used to look down on Technical Workers in general.'

From personal level to government level, we tend to blame lack of money as our number one problem In a capitalist world. However, we must also agree that sometimes it is improper priorities. I might also want to add that in capitalism, we are already dealing with what I call the worst type of system known to man yet. Like the days of culture when you are born in a tribe, you do not have the opportunity or option to change it, at least while you are a child. As you grow, you may choose to start a new tribe, move out of a village or area to do what you have to do, invent a new culture. Is such impositions or 'intolerant' that caused countless African tribes? Fast forward a bit to the days of religion. Most of us tend to retain the religion we were born with. A small percentage may change religion or adjust our understanding of a religion, as we grow. Another fast forward to the days of governments: When you are born in a capitalist country or any form of a system, you will have to accept it, at least for some years, until you learn about other systems, either through other people or through inspirations. The Gambia was always a capitalist country from recent history. Mr. Ousman Sillah is the chairperson of Crab Island Tvet, from the PDOIS Party, which is the socialist party in The Gambia; I happened to be The originator of Lovism which is very different from both capitalism and socialism. So my perspective may be slightly different from Mr Sillah and perhaps a lot more different from President Barrow, Muhammed Jah, and other capitalist folks.

Ironically, myself, President Barrow, Mr. Sillah, and Mr. Muhammed Jah are all in the service sector but at which levels at national to International levels? Sometimes we do not gauge based on popularity, but on actual stands, on standards, and on our counterparts around the world. As a thinker, activist, and writer in a country that belittles thinkers in worse ways than technical workers; both president Barrow and Muhammed Jah may honor praise singers, marabouts, and many others more than my type. All writers are also not the same. How many writers were invited to that graduation ceremony and how each reacted to what we heard or saw there? How many suggest in the manner I do, beyond my country? Belittling is the age long crime between Africans before Africans and her children of other races. However, we must limit the discussion to how president Barrow versus president Xi+ rightly believes or doubts in the potential of their children in the world of production or research? Similarly, mr. Muhammed Jah versus Bill Gates, Mr. Maa or xyz in China, not just Nigeria or Senegal. Mr. Sillah versus the chairperson of a technical Institution in China or xyz, etc? Then you have writers who suck-up to Trump, Barrow, Xi, Muhammed Jah, Dangote, etc versus those who balance up and call for the needs of the nation or world in the best way they deem fit. I am the writer who repeatedly called for a million dollar research store since the days of president Jammeh in verifiable records. A rejected prophet is not any lower than the accepted or most popular prophet. A rejected or yet to be accepted truth is also not any less truthful than accepted truths. Beside belittling or doubting, if our leaders and rich folks are comfortable with sheer negligence in starting enough production opportunities, then buying and gathering man made wealth may remain until God or the public demands better. Shifting the cost of a few kilometers of tarred road can bring about the multimillion dollar research store I envisioned towards multi-billion dollar industries and much better roads. Similarly, few richest folks can be comfortable with their so-called achievements or jointly help realise it by matching funds with crowd funding initiatives... I do not think IMF, World Bank, or even technology transfer banking is wise.

The foundation of production is still a service from ideas to initial realization. So head services can be many levels before the thorax or production level that will be a blend in levels, then another type of services follow. It becomes very clear that the service sector is much broader, but it is also a dying sector, except the head aspect, unless God says otherwise. Simple robots to AI are making that transition faster, and if we do not smartly kill or switch from capitalism, then capitalism may kill too many of us.

I wonder if Mr. Sillah and xyz in your respective countries truly understand the importance of pushing for such research stores, even if it means passing private laws to mandate a percentage of our budgets must go to certain research and development. You can also educate your students why they must consider up to mass demonstrations for such realisation, because the world is gradually removing a big chunk of services. Presently, Africa is largely running on tail level services in many industries. The tail may be the least useful or first to be sacrificed. We can continue to teach the children skills we deem vital, but we must be honest with them and try timely shifting.

Although Mr. Sillah received well deserved praises, it is vital to rectify him and suggest to him and his counterparts where need be. The Gambia and Africa in general tend to be hard on children and ignore shortcomings of parents, leaders, etc. His vision above what the ministry of education wanted is a clear victory or hint on how a minority can be better than a majority at times, especially when the spirit of time or Ch.103 is employed.

Speaking of time and the contents of time: my invitation was vague on programme details and urged us to be there at 8:00am, but it started around 10:00am. I expect African journalists to publicly pressure Institutions towards change. While reporting, if you insert 'crab Island Tvet or xyz in Nigeria invitation was vague, missing, and they were intolerably late...' Another institution may learn or who will learn next time? Sometimes illusions as an excuse can be a dangerous seed, passing the baton, and refusing to change, and forwarding more excuses in wrong patience or more illusions. After a few reportings against invitations without programme details, I will be able to ignore any invitation without programme details. The illusion that 'Africans will always come late' means sacrificing the best of us, those who respect time. I am fairly certain the students, vice president, and chief guest of honor were not told 8AM; so does the capitalist hierarchy make even socialist chairperson justify over two hours of time 'theft' as normal? No! I do not want to lengthen the article with explanations over explanations, but the deceptive mindsets and indifference we are indirectly teaching the children from homes to institutions may explain why Gambians+ are often intolerably late at work, and justify what levels of deceptions as they go up in ranks? Those apologies mean little to the God and the Godly who are asking how truthful and respectful are graduation ceremony organisers in the Gambia versus China; then if one falls short, how does the media+ react or just ignore such with murmuring until when? Then who dares compare the average or worst Gambian workers with Nigerian workers of what level? I want to see drastic changes in and beyond the Gambia. Yes, I advocate for tolerance, but tolerance must have limits. The same Gambian largely respects time and works hard in the west, so have a culture of cameras+ in your companies in Africa and set limits on late, absence, etc be you in products or services.

I will not narrate much about the ceremony, because it should be on the internet to those interested. After God pressured me to attend the ceremony due to potential learning and teaching, God repressured me to visit Crab Island Tvet for a working or investigative visit. I was partly impressed, but largely pitied them. First, only about 25% or less of the original Crab Island land is what is transformed as TVET, and the rest is barely used. Another example of unnecessary restrictions in the world of Capitalism. Even if they doubt the potential of Mr. Sillah, the present unused land could have been a temporary allocation for gardening purposes as an example. The Crab Island 2026 graduation has over 400 students, so imagine how much work can such do in a garden for even 30 minutes daily? They could have supplied a big percentage of government produce (plants) needs while learning to feed themselves and their families. I am not the lawyer for Crab Island Tvet, but I am sensing a reluctant help or partnership with the government.

The space they are allocated is so small, if you see their metal work dedicated area is so small like the average Gambian illiterate metal workshops. One can argue they should raise funds and use airspace to build big halls as workshops, or be more reasonable and allocate enough land even if it means somewhere else. Yes, I learned they have a cohort in Bwiam, but if their main center in Banjul is small and unnecessarily refused unused land by the government, then good luck on guessing if they even own the Bwiam cohort. Land is a product and capitalism has a very dangerous mindset on land. On one hand, they allow greedy grab on land as 'freedom' , but they employ restrictions on the poor and even trying institutions until when? We must demand change from mindset or service head towards opportunities for products and all levels of services, not just the tail. Should we pass a law that any private school with xyz students or meet xyz standards for two or xyz years must be provided with enough land based on vivid standards and by which trustworthy committee?

As for Crab Island Tvet and their type in and beyond Africa, you must ask what you can do without the government and pessimistically ask with government help. Again, this must include a plan to have A to Z production, or C to Z production where need be. Welding imported metals is still largely service, not production in a meaningful sense of independence. A country like the Gambia declared a tax on used metal exporting, but the tax rate and which measures will make it useful for all, or another loophole for corruption? Can Crab Island Tvet, GTTI, and which institutions have furnaces to make use of used metals in better ways than presently? In which year China reportedly made the first furnace as a product with evolution, and in which year the Gambia or Africa buy or make furnaces of what type? We have $30,000 cars for a few years, but we cannot afford enough furnaces with what level of precision? If you refuse quality, you also limit your potential. Should we try making a furnace, considering it is mainly a heating element and few other things? A furnace with precision temperature settings is not just a work tool for metal as an example, but an aspect of a research center for many things. I can hear 'money problem' as an excuse, but I demand you think or appreciate thinkers more than some 'givers' of very little money that I cannot still afford.

Mr. Muhammed Jah, the chief guest of honor, gave Crab Island Tvet a check of D300,000.00 (about $4,200). That figure is sadly revealing how poor the Gambia is, seems, or how stingy Mr. Jah is? Well, we do not honestly know the real financial situation of Mr. Jah and we know he is yet to be a billionaire, so we have no right to accuse him of stinginess. We also do not know how many places Mr. Jah or xyz of your country give in a year. However, knowing about $5000 can do little for an individual for long is enough to guess an institution will need much more than that. We know many Gambians have multiple vehicles worth more than that. We also know thousands of Gambians in the diaspora are struggling or making that much every two to four weeks.

Ideas: Why didn't Mr. Sillah, crab Island, or xyz did not have a donation line at the graduation ceremony? Jarga, that is thinking, we have to wait until someone in Nigeria or u.s starts it for us to copy? Well, you invited mainly the middle and upper-class of the Gambia you knew. Pap Njie of unique solutions and many others were there, and may donate $100 to $1000+ in positive 'fever influence'. Imagine 10 to 100 people in that category, and how much will that amount to? Poor Jarga and other folks may donate $25 to $100 towards millions if Gambian diasporans think and donate beyond family members. Now, 'greedy' Muhammed Jah or xyz may want what percentage from my idea as service? No! I think they stole some of my time I could have used , so should I withhold or half my original intended donation to institutions and individuals who disrespect my time, including cultural events? Maybe the government, especially the ministry of education, can set up a donation system for all educational institutions, including private ones. I estimate over 50% of private schools may be struggling, helping the government, as the Gambia needs more, especially tertiary levels.

Another speaking of time wasting or management: After a few hours of praising and honoring those they valued most, they realized they cannot have every graduate walk the stage for their certificates. If this is not your first graduation ceremony, then what have you learnt in the past, or will you learn from me? Print-out the names of all the graduates, their fields, and their contact numbers if they permit you. Give it out to all the guests, so that I know who to call if I need a plumber or a metal worker? Good or cruel Muhammed Jah+ said they should look for work, walking or paying fares, but the efficiency and mind of the lovist is in contrast with the celebrated capitalists and socialists? No! I am not shaming them, but admitting the God of inspiration makes me love Nigeria, Ghana, Jamaica, etc to evolve in even graduation ceremony handling in limited time. Also, selecting the top three students per category and honoring them publicly may help. Let such receive their certificates on stage and we look for the rest on the photocopied list of graduates.

Time and space may also limit what I can advise publicly to TVET and their types, but I must touch on quality and specials. You are graduates of an institution, so I want you to offer us better than the illiterate metal workers as examples. Can you guys make gym equipment of every type, in what quality level, or even invent new gym equipment for worldwide distribution? Now you must think or need a thinker like Jarga? If I help you with knowledge, will you belittle my knowledge, need for manager, need for designer+, more than you claim technical workers were looked down upon? We already have too many small metal workers, but when will we have big ones or even factories to drive some of you out of business in which aspects?

Also, I notice make-up artists for beauty, but can they double up as massage therapists for functionalities? Knowing human anatomy and a few months of intensive training should be able to get you both. Yes, I admit high quality massage beds, and upcoming AI robots that may learn such in a week may be better than some wives or professionals on massage, but we need massage knowledge for even self massage and our aging parents. Folks like Epstein may still exist, but massage may still be a need or a precious want. I have been writing for so long, I will appreciate a hand massage from a human or I can try my electronic shoulder massage I bought recently. My point revolves on how products may erase many services, so studying human anatomy and the research store can lead to me and/or you inventing what may help millions or billions. Too bad if you dismiss my capabilities today and tomorrow, dismiss the capabilities of all Gambians and yet to be born Gambians on potential inventions. Evolution is so funny: I started writing through 'dictating to text', but the program I am using or my pronunciations is not giving accuracy to my satisfaction; so I am typing it out. They can improve or I can improve, but my ability to type or write is a blessing I will forever be thankful for. However, I notice such dictating can be much faster. Similarly, even if we own great massage tools, a human touch may remain, especially if it is a trusted partner. Are African women+ too lazy to massage for hours or are the institution heads ignoring such courses? How many tourists will like hairdressers versus massage therapists, including males? From healing from injury to sexual massage, I believe we need massage classes more than some high school subjects.

In respect to gardening and farming, I do believe this is the easiest production Africa should master in quality and quantity. As usual, I expect vocational formal institutions like Crab Island TVET to help raise the standards in all aspects. Divide your allocated land and dedicate at least 25% of the space to new or limited plants. Introduce Gambians, Nigerians, etc to something new. You can ask for donations of seeds or buy and show your graduates how to order and make their own seeds. In the case of the Gambia, we have countless Gambians in the diaspora, so consider a direct appeal for help. Seeds are not heavy to bring along through aircrafts. Beside new products, I expect these institutions to introduce students to vertical gardening and using different mediums, not just traditional soil. I understand there is some form of regional collaboration like sassnet, but the level of head service and altruism will determine some aspects of their success level.

Even though I can be one of the hardest people towards Africans, but I am also proud of Africa and even some African ways. I once wrote an article and made a video titled 'Are black parents worse than some slave masters?' Unfortunately YouTube censored me, cancelled my channel, so you cannot see that on YouTube but the text is still available somehow on the internet. It may be true that I am more proud of Africa than average Africans in many ways, I do defend African ways and even some Gambian ways above some other African ways.

When folks like Mr Muhammed Jah and many others look down on Gambians and seemingly praise Senegalese and Nigerians as hard workers. They may be misinterpreting and ignoring very crucial facts. Life is largely about opportunities. Yes I do believe that the Gambia could have been much better. However, realities matter. If Senegal and Nigeria happen to have universities decades before the Gambia; Have technical Institutions like or better than Tvets decades Before the Gambia; Larger cities and much bigger populations before the age of the internet, then one should argue the countries are not comparable in some aspects. People learn through people before they can significantly learn directly from God. This is exactly why formal education is very vital despite the fact that thinking is even more vital. Also the reason why things like travelling which falls on informal education tends to help some people more than other people. So I will want my Gambian brothers and sisters to work way better, beyond competing with Nigerians or Senegalese. And in the western world, I do not think most managers will claim Senegalese or Nigerians are better workers than Gambians. One may argue even management or environment can be a factor. The reality remains that capitalism tends to restrict opportunities, and the limited opportunities they give will then force some people to seek opportunities elsewhere. Lack of opportunities or seeking opportunities was why the British or the medium to lowest parts of the British went to some other places around the world. If hard work brings success in any place, then they would have stayed in Europe. Similarly, The Nigerians and Senegalese that are seemingly hard working in the Gambia found limited opportunities in their respective countries. Again, these folks tend to ignore countless Senegalese and Nigerians are also committing crimes in the Gambia as an example, and sometimes due to lack of opportunities, including the special asset Gambians do not seem to understand we have.

Despite the fact that both Senegal and Nigeria had high institutions before the Gambia, The fact remains that the Gambia has arguably a much lower illiteracy level. The Gambia also has a lot lower crime rate than both Senegal and Nigeria. So I am in many ways proud to be Gambian, or prefer the Gambia over Senegal and Nigeria as examples. Certainly or probably, writers like me may have more financial opportunities in Nigeria over the Gambia. If my world was largely about finance, I would have been from Africa. Due to a combination of poverty or lack of a proper big hall, and the peaceful nature of average Gambians, the graduation ceremony was on the streets with what I can describe as very minimal security. The vice president of the Gambia attended, Mr Muhammed Jah One of the richest Gambians attended with no bodyguard and near zero worries of being killed or kidnapped. Of course the vice president has a security-guard but Muhammed Jah and many others have no bodyguards. The environment the graduation took place in is a vivid hint of how peaceful the Gambia is, above Nigeria and Senegal. It is very important we study deeply all the contributing factors to that. One can argue religion, but then only our interpretation of religion can play a small or what part, because both Senegal and Nigeria happen to share similar religions with the Gambia. In a way, we can argue Senegal and the Gambia share the same culture, but again with slight differences to interpretations or tribes. With Senegal, we even share the same tribes, literally. However one unique thing differentiates the Gambia and Senegal besides Britain colonising the Gambia And France colonising Senegal. That unique thing is Our size, Slightly late 'development', and our interpretation of culture+ leans on kindness above Senegal and Nigeria. The city lives of capitalism tends to bring out the worst parts of human beings in some ways. As things get tougher, the cruelty and indifference of those on the top tend to push away people on even simple kindness, which inadvertently causes crime rates to rise. As for the Gambia, we have been largely nice to each other on small aids, which help us all, and we should not allow the illusions of Muhammed Jah or anyone to take that away from us. If we evolve to the state or trustworthy NGOs offering such social services, then that is different.

Some ignorant Gambian parents have already started being hard on their children. This contributes to the many Gambians risking their lives towards Europe, while others are starting to commit crimes. So when a trusted voice like Mr. Jah insinuates what may worsen it, We have an obligation to rectify him, his potential victims, or co-culprits. You the parents brought the children into this crazy world, made them inherit a terrible system called capitalism, yet to make efforts on important rectifications. And you should not definitely be one-eyed or greedy and arrogant towards the children you brought into this world.

First and foremost, I will advise parents to be careful of how many people you invite into this world before trying to make it a perfect or near perfect world of justice. How are you as parents compared to reasonable standards and to other parents around the world is a legitimate question. Once they are here, do your best including sharing the little you have and not belittling their contribution in the home and beyond. If there is any pressure that we need to apply on the kids is mandatory education up to age 20, Including parents ascertaining that kids spend enough time studying through camera verifications or better ways. As I mentioned in the article I titled 'Are black parents worse than some slave masters', black children are largely good. However, my message to the Black children is to understand true love for your parents starts with respecting learning, including up to conscience, not 'hard work' or reckless risking of your lives to enter Europe, or any sin between creatures to satisfy parents or any being. Among the advantages or seeming advantages Europe and the general Western world have is their respect for learning and working standards more than we do on average. This difference is not eternal, meaning we can raise our learning and working standards without being mean to each other to the level of risking high crime rates.

In respect to Mr. Baba Sillah's comment: 'I will not marry those who wash after work' is partially factual, but another misinterpreted aspect of history with one-eye. It essentially means how a small fraction of Gambian+ women looked down on technical or 'odd' job workers. As in many sayings, the original saying is in wollof, sounds nicer, funnier, or more mean in wollof; but does that mean only the wollof or Gambians carried that pathetic mindset for decades? Well, before colonisation, some Africans looked down on each other, including on jobs. So between colonisation and a few decades after, what percentage of men had these 'odd' jobs to be looked down by what percentage of women on marriage? Most wollofs in the provinces were marrying farmers and I am certain some women of Banjul were not saying that. So it may add to city arrogance of Capitalism's dirty list, but I want people to understand why we must not over focus on one side. I believe some technical workers may have looked down on others then and now, including partnership for work. If the Gambia or Africa overfocuses on 'low level' services, ignoring products and head services, then R&D may offer a very rude awakening. So train well, but learn towards being part of the research and development team, and be kind and cautious because we have limited knowledge on the respite capitalism has. Worse than past looking downs is president Barrow, Tinubu, Muhammed Jah, Dangote, etc looking down on African potentials by refusing to invest in research centers, R&D, then 'rob' us to buy and indirectly support their head service folks...

Beyond the first level of wealth, we should discuss products and services in health versus character or justice. Again, you will notice head services are the primary nurturer of Justice, beyond teaching, but including setting-up great systems and standing up for the poor and the oppressed. Again, I am not necessarily picking on Mr. Muhammed Jah, but almost all rich folks in the Gambia were either sucking-up to President Yahya Jammeh or largely silent. Too many rich folks tend to have limited conscience, especially around capitalism. They brag about taking risk on wealth, but they hardly risk their lives for justice, especially for others or a nation. I am not interested in putting all rich folks in one box, but where are the average rich folks per country? The worst of humankind will justify cowardice for all, but more so for rich folks. So, many Gambians will likely support the silence of Mr. Jah and other rich folks during the brutal regime of Jammeh. I hope they secretly donated to parties, but also to activists. I think the repent and amend from that era should be an Africa-wide association of rich folks and strategies on how to fund what may deter such repetitions or fight back in which ways. They may be thinkers or masters of deceptions on wealth, but who are the thinkers we can value on that with verifiable records of risking their lives and livelihood? Fast forward to this era of Barrow. Why is Muhammed Jah and other rich folks refusing to pressure Barrow on a research store or let them publicly list ten things they believe will help the poor, including more production from the Gambia or Africa. I believe both private and public advice can be vital, because the good public advice of Mr jah or Gambia's top ten richest versus top ten thinkers can spark a debate to influence a sitting president, an opposition leader, or a president of a different country towards our country in a cycle.

It is too dangerous or naive to claim Muhammed Jah or rich folks should 'speak truth to the children', not the parents, not the leaders, or anyone with power. There are countless verses that repeatedly come to my mind when the words of Jah come to my mind. Among them ch.76:9: 'We feed you not seeking return favor or thanks' versus a parent who may refuse feeding or over pressure even their own children towards criminal life , or which deceptions? Just like good advice may weigh more than an atom's weight, a bad advice that may separate families, pressure kids to do wrong will weigh what on sins between creatures? We must be careful of any dangerous mindset. If we carefully look at ch.103, it did not give any exception to rich folks or leaders. That chapter is a checklist higher than the so-called five pillars of Islam. I want Muhammed Jah and every financially successful person to also succeed on character or the side of God. You cannot have some folks of other religions seemingly respecting 'exhort each other to truth...' more than we do. An international example like the u.s may help. The u.s and Trump are the true face of Capitalism, the so-called success includes deceptions, bullying, extortion, etc. Folks like Daniel Ellsberg risked their lives, families, and livelihoods. God may test some, but he essentially took down president Nixon. Now in this era of Trump, the so-called risk takers for wealth are evidently not risk takers for justice. How many billionaires are standing up to Trump? Very few and mainly from a different party or lack of choice. You want me to believe whites or western politicians have integrity, but what percentage of Republicans are standing up to Trump? These illusions or sad realities reveal why the opponents were 'wrong in thinking the victims of Capitalism will rise up by when or after what level of suffering versus exposure? People can sadly be indoctrinated that regardless of your efforts, your financial 'failures' are totally yours, from the individual to the country or continent level?

Among the ironies of life is that God's services seem much more important, including on our health. Jarga may want a personal gym, but God can occasionally help Jarga with no equipment and give me exceptional healing. It may not mean gym products are useless, nor does it mean I cannot be permanently helped without such equipment. A customer is like a gift or opportunity to the wealth seeker. Similarly, we who are desperately seeking God's help for self, Africa, or the world are tested with rich folks and leaders on some mistakes or intentional choices, but will they learn, repent, amend, and proclaim privately and publicly as per ch. 2: 160? Also remember God is a direct giver of amazing services that can replace both human products or services more than AI.

The financial failures of Africa are partly due to the corrupt world economy and financial systems that most African leaders do not have the 'head service level' to see or properly confront. Let us say that contributes about 15 to 50% as an estimate. A group may only talk about that one. Then corruption and other mismanagement at the national levels may contribute 10 to 40% . The cultural ills or faulty mindsets, including greed and arrogance against children may also contribute 10 to 40% as estimates. The present remedy on financial matters on Crab Island Tvet as an example is mainly from good westerners, but how can Gambians or Arabs+ contribute much more? The remedy at the intellectual level is perhaps where we need more global collaboration and beyond their indoctrinated students. So the level of 'exhort each other to truth' must include patience for precision. Success in a corrupt system often means you are either corrupt or not speaking up loud enough. Devils hate to be confronted with truth. As the Iran war and others are exposing how Trump may force a more vivid involvement of God in our earth or judgement, I have no reason to run from Africa. However, it should be clear, perhaps it is not just the end of America's hegemony, but hopefully the end of Capitalism in this world. We all need some adjustments and work towards independence on needs. We need a lot less interdependence on needs, from individual to country levels. However, anyone who is ready to learn and work should be guaranteed a reasonable level of fun in regards to man made wealth. Resistance is a level, but sometimes we even need to confront, but not necessarily physically.

Every sitting administration and opposition leader must be asked what specific plans they have to boost products in which levels and head services in which levels or even sectors in five years? We want details and understanding how even the debate may yield good. Again, every industry may demand different forms of gauging per country. Leaving financial debts is bad, but leaving moral debts against our children is much worse. Our gratitude to God and the limited freedom fighters must include risking our lives and/or livelihoods. They can learn or distance themselves from me, but the truthful hardly gets a gratitude check, except laughs and more knowledge from God, until he adds what we wished for or never imagined possible on earth, and may it be good.

So you can clearly see I am not looking down on service, but we must see all in levels and learn to avoid mistakes. Africa is not as innocent as we may want to believe and must learn to repent and amend where need be. From mindsets to actions, we have to understand true love demands truth, not just praises. Not one of you can claim to love president Barrow, Mr. Jah, mr. Sillah, etc more than me. On a more relatable note, many Africans cry racism but still guilty of tribalism and even racism? You cry about power abuse and indifference at the international level, but you commit the same crimes at the national level or want me to believe your systems, laws, and policies are all just? May God help those trying to establish a better world, a much more just world. May God bless Showlove Trinity: let's learn, let's work, let's have fun.
