WHY BECOME ONE IN A MILLION
THE DIASPORA INITIATIVE
THIS IS POTENTIALLY THE MOST SUCCESSFUL AND EXCITING BUSINESS CONCEPT EVER BY THE AFRICAN DIASPORA.
PEOPLE OF AFRICAN AND CARIBBEAN DESCENT DO NOT OCCUPY THEIR SEAT AT THE ECONOMIC TABLE. YOU DO NOT SIT AT THIS TABLE BASED ON RIGHTS OR FAIRNESS BUT BY ECONOMIC POWER.
THERE ARE MANY SOCIAL CHALLENGES LEADING TO POVERTY AND LACK OF DEVELOPMENT IN OUR COUNTRIES WHICH QUALIFY US FOR THE STATUS OF “THIRD WORLD” NATIONS.
IT IS AN INDISPUTABLE FACT THAT THE WEALTH OF THE SO CALLED DEVELOPED WORLD IS LARGELY BUILT ON RESOURCES TAKEN FROM THE PARTS OF THE WORLD WHICH ARE LEAST DEVELOPED
WHY!?
MONEY IS THE GLOBAL TOOL AND THE OIL OF THE WORLD ECONOMY. PEOPLE FROM AFRICAN AND CARIBBEAN COUNTRIES WAIT TO HEAR WHAT HAS BEEN DECIDED FOR THEM BUT HAVE LITTLE POWER TO CONTROL THE DECISIONS.
WITHOUT ECONOMIC POWER WE WILL ALWAYS BE DEPENDENT ON OTHERS TO SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS AND GIVE HOPE TO OUR CHILDREN.
THINGS ARE ABOUT TO CHANGE
YES, WE CAN
NELSON MANDELA
BARACK OBAMA
OPRAH WINFREY
USAIN BOLT
BLACK PANTHER
THESE MAJOR ICONS HAVE INSPIRED A NEW-FOUND REALISATION THAT WE NO LONGER HAVE TO ACCEPT THE STATUS QUO
THINGS CAN, MUST AND ARE CHANGING.
INDIVIDUAL SUCCESS IS NOT ENOUGH
THERE IS NO SHORTAGE OF QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS AND GOOD ROLE MODELS FROM AFRICAN AND CARIBBEAN COMMUNITIES. BUT WHO DO THEY PAY THEIR TAXES TO? COUNTRIES AND NATIONS ARE NOT BUILT ON INDIVIDUAL SUCCESS STORIES BUT ON NATIONAL TAXATION RULES.
THE AVERAGE UK SALARY FOR A FULL-TIME EMPLOYEE IS £27,600. THE AVERAGE RATE OF TAX FOR THIS AMOUNT IS 20% WHICH IS 5,520 PER YEAR OR £106 PER WEEK, YOUR £106 PER WEEK IS A LEGAL REQUIREMENT THAT MAKES THIS COUNTY FUNCTION AND ADVANCE. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU CHOSE TO PAY ANOTHER £2PER WEEK TOWARDS THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE AFRICAN AND CARIBBEAN WORLD?
WHAT IF THERE WERE ENOUGH PEOPLE DOING IT TO MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE? SAY 20 MILLION PEOPLE?
THAT WOULD PROVIDE FUNDS OF £40 MILLION POUNDS EVERY WEEK!
CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT A FUND THAT SIZE COULD DO?
WE COULD BUY MANUFACTURING COMPANIES, LARGE HOTELS, HOLIDAY RESORTS, SHIPS AND DEMAND A SEAT AT THE ECONOMIC TABLE.
WE COULD CREATE THOUSANDS OF JOBS AND ADDRESS MAJOR SOCIAL PROBLEMS LINKED TO POVERTY.
