The Congo Basin, a synergy just touched upon, not sufficiently explored…
Can we easily speak of laws of prosperity and abundance in our habits and customs, even though in our countries, this contrast is striking: rich countries, poor populations?
We are used to incriminating two people responsible: on the one hand, colonial barbarism, the rapacity of foreign powers and multinationals, on the other, the greed and irresponsibility of our rulers.
Here, we will first point the finger at two other officials in connection with our customs (negative use), before addressing the laws of prosperity and abundance embedded in our habits and customs (positive side).
NEGATIVE USE:
The duality of our states:
Among others, custom is a source of law: that is to say, among them, in part, custom has become law. While with us, there is on one side, our customs, and on the other, the right (the law) which comes to us, largely from the colonial occupation (that is to say from the customs of others). And the two coexist separately.
Illustration :
Among the others, there is only one marriage (excluding religion),
With us, there is on one side, the customary (unofficial) marriage, on the other, the civil (official) marriage: this antagonism, mild in appearance, is a real problem.
Our culture is only the visible part of our national soul, our laws in opposition to our soul, this compartmentalization or break is one of the causes of the paradox rich countries, poor populations, it participates in the stifling of the creative spirit of the national genius.
National unity also involves the merger of these two states (customary and colonial): this marriage will result from the addition to our heritage of the positive external contribution.
It is also by the law voted in parliament that this question is settled, as we have already demonstrated previously, it is the law which governs the accumulation of wealth, work comes second.
The excitement of our families:
The family is the basis of society, when the family is bad, the whole society is sick. First of all, what is family in our culture?
The family is sacred, the bond of kinship is physical and metaphysical.
The superiority of matriarchy:
At the natural birth of the child, we know with certainty the mother, but the father is only presumed: therefore, incontestably, the first family of the child is the family of the mother, that of the father comes second.
Triangle, pyramid and matriarchal family:
The triangle is expressed in three (side) and unfolds in four (its center of gravity or top of the pyramid). We all have four grandparents, so four families, schematically, we place our maternal grandmother, our mother and ourselves in the center of the triangle or apex of the pyramid, and the three other grandparents, on the three sides: this is the ancestral symbol of the hearth (three clods or pillars with the sacred fire in the center), called in the Congolese language “ma kuku ma tatu”.
A statement:
At your wedding, many of your loved ones will celebrate with you, if after you are broke or sick, they will be mostly absent, on the other hand, when you die, on the day of the funeral, there will be many of them again.
Wedding and funeral, two major expense items in our families.
Since we have chosen to spend a lot of money on weddings and funerals, let’s at least ensure that our expenses, instead of continually impoverishing ourselves, contribute to creating wealth in our countries.
We said previously, marriage rhymes with raffia… As for burials, without being obliged to push the simplification to the extreme like the Muslims, we can at least note the political will (in the social sense of the term) of Islam, to codify and simplify the funeral rite.
Again, all serious societies organize and codify the important events of life, at best by law: this is the job of parliament, the government contributes to it too.
We will have to do a selective sorting, integrate into our laws, all the positive side of our habits and customs and officially banish everything else.
THE POSITIVE SIDE :
Now, let us use these three pillars: the state, the family and our culture, as a focus or matrix to create, to bring forth wealth in our country.
The laws of prosperity and abundance embedded in our habits and customs.
With a comic and plaintive air, the Congolese artist Kaly Djatou, evokes this facet of our culture in his song: first salary.
A culture of sharing:
In our culture, it is recommended to share a good part of your first salary (among Christians, the equivalent is firstfruits) and a small part of all the other income that will follow (among Christians, the equivalent is tithe): it is one of the keys that opens the doors of abundance (give and receive).
My fathers (TCHICAYA André and TCHINIANGA Bernard, heads of families, teachers, then respectively, director of the national police and school director), thought about it at the family level (Kondi families, royal family of Loango), and named it “Project NIOSI”, this word in the Vili language refers to the bee, the hive and honey at the same time.
The example of Singapore, a country which knew how to activate the laws of prosperity and abundance, with the greatest concentration of millionaires in dollars in the world, that is what effective wealth is: rich country, rich population.
4% Family(ies): this is the essential device that will trigger effective wealth (rich country, rich population) in our country.
In France, the law of 1901 established the association in its current legal form, before this date, the association existed in a diffuse, informal way…
It is essential for our country, to adopt a law which establishes the family (clan), by conferring on it a legal personality with whole share, with an inalienable permanent seat.
Yes, it is a question of prescribing the construction for each of our families (clan) of a family house, according to a standard model, which will serve as a place of meeting, possibly of “customary” marriage, of meditation or center of family archives (genealogy, updated number or register…).
NB: this construction (nearly 4,000 family buildings in the case of the Republic of Congo) will cost nothing (zero CFA) to the state and little money to our families, while creating activity, employment (nearly 100,000 jobs in Congo), therefore wealth in the country.
The same law will also put in place a family savings account (clan), this account will have the particularity of being blocked and perpetual, with the aim, in the long run, of serving the annuity to our families… This will also serve to make our banks more robust and transparent.
4% direct debit on all wages (all income)
1% donated to each of our 4 families (4 grandparents)
Of which no more than 0.9% on the available account (current account)
Of which at least 0.1% on the blocked account (perpetual savings).
The construction of the family buildings will be financed by a special bank loan, repayable in 100 years, guaranteed by the property itself, the blocked account and the state as a last resort. Reimbursed by the available account (current account), another device (will bring fresh money to families with zero state contribution, zero business taxation and zero family contribution) and, if necessary, the exceptional contribution of the family, among other things, by using a portion of the family land (almost all our families are landowners, here too, a conservation law is necessary: a single generation does not have the legitimacy to sell everything off, as is currently the case).
Thus, we have just opened the doors of abundance for employees, created thousands of jobs and built an inalienable permanent seat for our families.
The more beautiful our cities and the richer our country.
