Diary of a Millionaire Mind: Tippoo Tib


Tippoo TibTippoo 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.
