NEED FOR OUR CONTAFRIKAVALUES

THE NEED FOR OUR AFRIKACENTRIC CONTINENTAL AFRIKAVALUES FOR ALL CONTINENTAL/DIASPORA AFRIKANS TO LIVE IN TUNE TO, By (c) 2012 by Prof. Afrikadzata Deku, Docteur d'Etat; Doctorat d'Etat (PhD); [email protected],

What has become of our Continental AfrikaValues from which spring all the existing Values in the world today like, French Values, British Values, White American Values, Arab Values, Chinese Values, Japanese Values and so on ?

Why today's Foreignized, Westernized, Islamized and Christianized Continental/Diaspora Afrikans are fast abandoning their Continental AfrikaValues for Western/foreign/ "white"/Arab/Christian values that exist to deprive them of their own Continental AfrikaValues?

By Continental AfrikaValues we mean, the Sum total of all our Ancient/Traditional Continental Afrikan created and controlled Principles, Standards and Qualities that are highly treasured and held in high esteem by Continental Afrikans.

Continental AfrikaValues are therefore what is considered important, worthwhile and desirable to have, cherish, value, practise, protect, defend and promote for the benefit of all Continental/Diaspora Afrikans as the Foundation or Base or Framework upon which to build our Lives in Prosperity, Happiness and Security for all .

They are "Continental Afrikan" Values because they were was created by Ancient Continental Afrika, protected by our pre-slavery and pre-colonial Continental Afrika and immortalized by our Traditional World of our "modern" Continental Afrika that has refused to be Westernized or Arabanized or Christianized .

Hence, Continental AfrikaValues as the oldest Human Values on earth were and are still the Foundation upon which our future world order will be built in the same way as they were in the past for us .

So when we talk of Continental AfrikaValues , we are talking of those values that are still Continental Afrikan in origin, orientation and application throughout the Continental Afrikan World.

They are Continental Afrikan because they are uncontaminated, undiluted or uncorrupted by foreign/alien values.

For example, the first Continental AfrikaValue that is recognized, accepted and practised by all Continental Afrikans in the past as the most important value that unites and strengthens all Continental Afrikans, is people.

From Ancient Continental Afrika, to pre-colonial Continental Afrika to the Traditional parts of our today's Continental Afrikan World, Continental AfrikaValue is t first and foremost the AfrikaPeople Value or Value based on our AfrikaPeople as the Basis and Foundation of our AfrikaRace , Past, Present and Future .

That is, Continental Afrikans consider People not things the highest value of all values to have, accept and practice in their lives.

This means, Continental Afrikans, first and foremost, value one another, that is human beings, more than anything else.

Hence, in the past, all Continental Afrikans believed to have their people or community behind themselves is to have everything.

To live without people is to live dead.
This explains why Continental Afrikans are known to love people as they love themselves.

Jesus' command "Love thy Neighbor as Thyself" was and is still a Continental AfrikaValue copied from our Ancient Continental AfrikaValue that says "To Love Your Neighbor is to Love Yourself. To love all is to guarantee yourself heaven on earth." To live alone is to live in Hell “

Consequently, loving people means recognizing every life on earth as the highest value there is on earth.

And because they believe and practice the philosophy of Oneness of all lives, it stands to reason that whatever they do to each other comes back to them.

Since they see themselves as part of other human beings and lives, any harm done to anyone is a harm done to oneself.

Any good or service done to others is goodness and service done to oneself.

To invest therefore in people is therefore the best life insurance one can have in life.

Because since you are part of others, if you exploit someone, you exploit yourself.

Since you are part of others, if you love others you love yourself.

In this way, loving others as oneself becomes the highest value that unites and strengthens Continental Afrikans as Members of one Family .

For if you love others, you will not hurt them. Because to do so is to hurt oneself. And because you do not want to hurt yourself, you will not hurt anyone.

In the same way, if you love others, you will be just to them in all you do.

Because you want to be just to yourself, you become just to others. If you love others, you will respect others

. If you love others, you will help and support them. If you love others, you will see no need in dominating, exploiting, or controlling them .

To do so is to hurt oneself .
This people-based value system makes Continental Afrikans what we call people-oriented.

All their lives are committed to making each other happy. They are not afraid of living together. They are not afraid of sharing all they have with others. They live for each other and never for things .

And the more they share the more they have. They are not afraid to increase in numbers.

For, the more people they have, the more have and enjoy the opportunities to support each other in joy or for now.

In this people-oriented environment, hunger does not exist. Because it is considered an honor to share gladly one's meals with others . No need for invitation to visit one another . No hiding of one's meal when before you open your door to a visitor . Eating together is an honor but an insult or something to be ashamed about .

This means, I share freely what I have with others because I know if tomorrow I am in need of anything , others will also provide me with pride with what I need and vice-versa .

In this people-oriented society and people and not things-based ways of Life in Ancient and Traditional Continental Afrika, there is nothing like homelessness too

. . Because it is the responsibility of everybody to shelter everybody - known or unknown.

If a visitor or a stranger comes knocking at your door, our AfrikaValue obliges us to open our door to him and offer him the Best Bed of the Home to him and we never ask him how long he is going to stay with us .

As long as he or stays with us, he or she will be welcome and accorded all the hospitality that our People-oriented ways of life require of us to practise .

That is what the so-called Explorers, traders, missionaries, slave traders and colonial powers and their agents took advantage of .

While we were opening widely to them all our doors for their enjoyment, they were busy mapping our land and resources over which they took by getting drunk our leaders or at gun point .

In addition, in our people-based value system, there are fewer crimes.

Because the presence of everyone around deters crimes. Traditional/Ancient Continental Afrikans do not simply have time and the privacy to plan and execute crimes against each other.

And because they know any harm against someone is a hurt against themselves, they will not harm others so as not to harm themselves.

That is why in our Traditional part of today's Continental Afrika inhabited by 70% of our People, 99% of their doors don't have locks on them .

That is why in pre-slavery and pre-colonial Afrika, we never had prisons to house criminals in because there were no need for them .

In this people-oriented Environment too, Continental Afrikans do not suffer from the disease and curse of isolation, loneliness, selfishness, accumulation, crimes, exploitations, prostitution, divorce, stress, and related illnesses.

Because there is no need for them.
