Tippoo Tib or Tippu Tib: Who is He and His Legacy

Tippu (Tippoo) Tip or Tib, real name Hamad bin Muḥammad bin Jumah bin Rajab bin Muḥammad bin SA‘īd al-Murghabī, was a Swahili-Zanzibari trader.  As part of ourstory, Tippoo was a very rich tycoon but as with all our ancestors we lose track of his wealth and where it all disappeared to. WealthPrinciple focuses on the energy and mind that attained the mass wealth and abundance of an individual. My research from J.A Rogers book 100 Amazing Facts about the Negro states that Tippoo was an ivory and slave trader. Typically, we would jump to the conclusion of bad guy and dismiss his importance and relevance. One has to be open-minded and learn from all things that one stumbles upon.

In order for us to dissect the importance of Tippoo and his relevance in the WealthPrinciple, discard all notions that he is a bad person. Slavery is viewed in the western society as an atrocious crime of forcing someone into a life of servitude and making them do one’s bidding by any means necessary as outlined in the famous Willie Lynch letter. Slavery viewed by African (Alkebulanian) societies and our ancestors was one of necessity to protect and perserve family, culture, identity and nation. When two nations were in conflict and war was declared, the warriors lost to the enemy became “slaves” to their enemy. As a “slave” one could not participate in the nation’s activities until they proved their allegiance to the new nation. This was designed to protect outside forces from taking over the nation and committing disturbance.

Now that we have explained slavery in its basic African (Alkebulanian) perspective, we are more than ready to evaluate Tippoo and his legacy. Tippoo was born in 1837 which is 30 years after the ban of slave trade in Great Britain and United States (1807). He was born in Zanibar (Tanzania) which is East Africa (Alkebulan). He was raised in an Islamic background. At his time, the biggest businesses were slave trades, gold and other trades.

Tippoo was believed to be the first civilized man to penetrate the central of Africa (Alkebulan). This was a great feat for one man to attain and it takes hard work, genius, determination, and unstoppable confidence to achieve such a task at his time. He was an honorable man who was also an explorer as you can tell. I have done a lot of research on tycoons and I always come across the fact that many of them who were explorers were also very wealthy. Being able to venture out of your comfort zone is confidence. This was a man with unstoppable confidence which is a great WealthPrinciple. He explored territories as large as the United States. Many would be surprised but the United States is very small compared to Alkebulan (Africa).

 

Nevertheless, Tippoo was able to establish an empire in central Alkebulan (Africa) and he transformed into a place for his legacy. He owned 10,000 slaves and many plantations of his own. I do not condone the ownership of humans but as stated this was the profitable business at the time. He held a high power in most central African nations like Congo and others. He paved the way for Europeans to take a stake in Alkebulan and this is worth mentioning because we have to learn from this. Many explorers and leaders of Europe like Henry Morton Stanley, King Leopold II, Weismann and others built legacies and wealth from Tippoo’s help.

The lesson and message of this WealthPrinciple is to evaluate the greatness of Tippoo and leave his mistakes like his mistake of helping other groups of people conquer is people. We have to use our right mind and left mind to evaluate through the eyes of Ma’at. When making a decision ask yourself, “how is this going to help our people become sovereign people in our world.” I believe if Tippoo was in his right African mind then he would have been a great tycoon and business men to model after. Instead, we have to examine his WealthPrinciple and create a new legacy for him. The WealthPrinciple: “You are completely powerful. You are unstoppably confident and intelligent.” – Kent Sayre

Toussaint L'Ouverture

Toussaint and his “Lost Millions”

Haiti is a place that I have never been but I have had the pleasure to share a similar experience of people born or related to Haiti. Haiti is a place from descriptions of my brother Asafo is very similar to Ghana. Ghana is a West Alkebulan state which is in itself is tropical and a beauty. The energy of one visiting is very pleasant and the energy is different to the energy of America. Many have claimed that their soul and energy felt replenished after visiting Ghana and the same is said about Alkebulan, Haiti, Cuba, Brazil and other parts of the world with Alkebulan people.

`We will travel to the world of one of our dearest ancestor Toussaint Louverture of Haiti. Toussaint was born in May 20, 1743 in Haiti. People will try to label him the black Napoleon but this should not be his legacy. He was a man who envisioned liberty, justice, dignity and empowerment of all Alkebulan and sacrificed his life for his people. He had a plan that was never accomplished because of betrayal of powers that be and unfortunate fate of destiny.

Haiti was the colonial possession of the French. Enslaved Alkebulanians were brought to the Americas by slavers (ships) some notable called “Jesus”. Alkebulanians were dropped off in places like Brazil, Cuba, Colombia, Haiti and many other places. In Haiti, the indigenous people living on the island were dying at a rapid pace from being exposed to European diseases so the French stole, bought and whatever they could to get Alkebulanians from western states like Senegal, Ghana, Gambia, Nigeria and many other nations. They stole Mathematicians, engineers, warriors, scholars, Asafos, and many others.

The examination here is going to be directed towards the energy of Toussaint who was by no means a coward, less than a man, cruel, indecent or all other labels. This is a quote found “Toussaint learned of Africa from his father, who had been born a free man there. He learned that he was more than a slave, that he was a man with brains and dignity. He was fortunate in having a liberal master who had him trained as a house servant and allowed him to learn to read and write. Toussaint took full advantage of this, reading every book he could get his hands on.” This was a man who understood philosophy and studied the knowledge and applied it to create a powerful entity such as sovereignty.

Toussaint studied about liberty, rights, equality, sovereignty, and nationhood. He understood the philosophies concerning these subjects. This was the same reasons that America attained independence. The framers of the constitution fought for independence based on the ideologies of John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rosseau. The later who contributed the understanding of the atrocities in slavery and depriving men of their hueman rights to Toussaint. Social contracts (philosophers) in Alkebulan history have contributed to the vast understanding of these things such as the Ptah Hotep, Imhotep, Ahkmenrah, and many others.

The vision of Toussaint after successful defeating Napoleon was to form a government and establish a system of sovereignty for Haiti and its new destiny. He worked hard to collect money that saved. He saved $6million which he was going to use as tool to establish a base in Dahomey, Alkebulan. Dahomey is now present day Benin. Benin is the second neighbor of Ghana and left to Nigeria. Togo is between Ghana and Benin. These nations Ethiopia, Togo, Liberia, Ghana, Mali, Burkina Faso, Zaire, Azania, Tripoli, Benin, Ivory Coast, Senegal and Nigeria are a powerhouse for the Alkebulan mind.  The whole continent of Alkebulan is a powerhouse.

As you can see, Toussaint was very strategic to have defeated Napoleon who at the time was considered the most powerful genral. Toussaint had no prior knowledge of military strategy. There were other forces that were used but this information will be on the EBook so make sure you check this out.

Toussaint unfortunately was tricked by Napoleon on basis of reconciliation. Napoleon was willing to acknowledge Haiti’s independence if Toussaint met with him. When Toussaint agreed to meet with him, Napoleon had him captured and sent to imprisonment by coldness, starvation and negligence. Toussaint was hit with the double sword because he died in prison and the $6million that he gave to Stephen Girard of French-American descent was never given to his family. Toussaint was betrayed by Napoleon and Stephen.

 Stephen became the richest man of his day with Toussaint’s money and donated the rest of his millions after death to Girard College in Philly. He also specified that the money used for only whites and coal for poor whites of Philly. Napoleon also had an interesting view when asked about his treatment of Toussaint, “Napoleon merely remarked, what could the death of one wretched Negro mean to me?” – History Wiz

Toussaint was a warrior, scholar and one who believed in sacrifice like Marcus Garvey, Hannibal and many others. You learn from their example and create a success that will impact your community and people. These people were powerful from servitude not from individualism. The “lost millions” is being used for another energy but the energy within this lost has been passed to the subsequent generations for them to create much more.

Wilma Rudolph: Never Give UP

“You Must Act as if it is Impossible to Fail.” – African Proverb

Through my 20 years on this great planet Asase Yae, I have learned to trust in the power of the saying “Never Give Up.”  I was given a shirt from my aunt who this blog is dedicated to as well. Many of our ancestors whole life was surrounded around this belief and understanding. If Nana Imhotep had given up on the step Pyramid then we wouldn’t have the Pyramids in Kemet, Nubia or Maya. Imhotep is for another week. If Nana Araminta had given up on the enslaved Alkebulanians in America then there would be a lot more lost souls in my opinion and more deaths.  This great ancestor is for another week as well. I will like to introduce Nana Wilma Rudolph.

Wilma Rudolph was born with infantile paralysis because of the polio virus which is not a big problem in our society like in the 40’s when she we was born. The doctors and society labeled her as not being able to walk but this was one child who was not prepared to be labeled by anyone. I heard about Nana when I was in high school from my first teachers of Alkebulan philosophy. I have never forgotten about Nana since then and she has been a symbol of self motivation and excellence for me to follow. She worked hard for the legacy that she left behind for us to follow. No matter what situation you come from, if you are willing to create your destiny and legacy then all things is possible. Nana Rudolph was at the age of 12 when she made her course by shedding the polio disease from crippling her. She vowed to want to be like her sister who was a great basketball player. By high school, she was making great strides that so called normal born children will only dream of such as setting state records and taking her dream by the hand.

In the 60’s, Nana Wilma was considered the fastest woman in the world. She was breaking records in the Olympics and was going places that people only dreamed of. I find it fascinating that most people who are great were once considered the “scum of our society.” When a man or a woman put their mind on something, there is almost nothing that can stop him or her. I had to learn this the hard way but there is no time but then the now. Now is the time you read more into Wilma Rudolph’s story and let her story reshape your identity and destiny. She is a force to be reckoned with. Let her story be another road map for our journey.

Mansa Musa: Richest in History

WealthPrinciple: The more people you help the wealthier you become. I choose to help thousands, and thousands of people.

This week is about Mansa Musa. This Emperor of Mali is one of the greatest leaders that Alkebulan (Africa) has ever known. He is someone that I personally admire and will seek guidance from in terms of business, leadership and greatness. He has contributed a lot to the building blocks of Alkebulan and the whole world. This is was a man who cherished his people and loved his continent. Everything that Mansa Musa did was for Alkebulan and the restoration of its former glory in Kemet, Nubia or Kush, Carthage, and many of our nations. He understood the importance of unity and working towards a united people with one power, love and society. We honor his spirit because he was wise, moral and very powerful. Many do not know him because he left out even when we pour libations but now is the time for us to understand his mission and who he was.

King Mansa Musa wasn't just the 1% of the 14th century — he may be the richest person of all time. As the obscure ruler of West Africa’s Mali Empire, Musa amassed a jaw-dropping $400 billion during his reign from 1312 to 1337, according to a new inflation-adjusted list by celebritynetworth.com. That outranks the Rothschild family, whose European banking dynasty landed them second on the list with $350 billion, and John D. Rockefeller, the American industrialist worth $340 billion. The 25 billionaires and families listed have made some megabucks, with a combined worth of $4.3 trillion. As for Musa’s wealth, his “shocking wealth came from his country’s vast production of more than half the world’s supply of salt and gold,” according to the Celebrity Net Worth survey, which converted each billionaire’s fortunes into 2012 dollars. Musa was a devout Muslim who spearheaded an extensive building program of palaces and mosques. But his money was eventually lost after his death in 1337, when he was believed to be in his late 50s. “His heirs were not able to fend off civil war and invading conquerors. Just two generations later, his world record net worth was gone,” Celebrity Net Worth said.

Marcus Garvey

“A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.”  ~ Marcus Garvey 

This week will feature Marcus Mosiah Garvey. Marcus Garvey is our ancestor who was a millionaire entrepreneur, business tycoon and intellectual, Pan-Africanist, educator and many more. He deserves all the celebration and homage. He should never be forgotten because he lives in our hearts and his example of excellence has paved way for people like Elijah Muhammad, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., and many people that we look up to. Even though he and W.E. DuBois had their differences, DuBois who is also someone we need to pay homage to also looked up to Marcus Garvey. I briefly talk about Malcolm X but there are countless books and information and if I spent time talking about his greatness then this will turn into a book with more than 50 chapters. This how great he was and how much he gave to our advancement in society. Marcus Garvey was born on 1887 in Jamaica. He had a large organization of over million members across over forty countries. In fact, I believe with his passing many members most likely joined the Nation of Islam because they saw the similarity in the teachings and leadership. This was a man of distinguish character.

He founded the UNIA or the Universal Negro Improvement Association in 1914. The goal of the UNIA was the unification of our motherland Alke-bulan (Africa) and the economic advancement of our people worldwide. This is the many reasons why he was destroyed by the US government but he lives on in the ones willing to pick up the sword and carry on the mission. He believed in the empowerment of our people at home (Alke-bulan) and abroad (Diaspora). He understood that we were all one people and should work together for the empowerment of our people for the betterment of our people. Like I said before this is your life and you have to create it the way that you see fit. I will leave you here to find more info and take this great ancestral energy as an encouragement to become great. These were the words of Marcus Garvey  “ Therefore the American Negroes and the West Indian Negroes are one, and they are the relics of the great African race which was brought into the Western World and kept here for 300 years. I told them in Harlem that it was my duty to reunite the Negroes of the Western world with the Negroes of Africa (Alke-bulan), to make a great nation of Black men….” (The Ward Theatre, Kingston, 1927).
