Agricultural in Africa will not reach its full potential without funding from commercial banks and government subsidies. These the 7 platforms we have designed and can implement to enable commercial banks to easily lend to farmers using our tools that incentivize the process and help farmers gain digital representation in the following ways. 1. Farmer profile (every data possible about the farmer) and solid KYC data that includes farm land registration as a bankable asset. 2. Very robust data on the farmers customers, suppliers, daily engagement with extension service providers, 3. Development partner (IFAD) and non-governmental organizations combined services to support farmers as an intervention must be 100% visible,and democratized, 4. Crop productivity and plant life circle management: (a) Geotagging of all farms in each country, digital farm report that provide the level of visibility that enables commercial banks to use farm and farmer data for sourcing, disbursement, and 100% collection of loans to farmers, (a) advance agronomy at granular levels for each farmer in each country that provides vegetative index, sowing index, etc, 4. Agricultural lodgistic that enables a farmer to export globally: (a) collection center like warehouses and cooler cubes, (b) good roads to the ports, air sea and land, (c) electric cargo trucks and vans etc, 5. Access to global markets. There are 5 billion people online, farmers need a platform with e-commerce gateway to reach half of this population, a global payment gateway with all types of payments, all channels, all currencies, and the cheapest processing fees globally to be competitive, 6. Value addition that must be done using skilled and reasonable labor from Technical and Vocational Training Institutes to work with farmers in each country, value addition centers at various industrial parks established by central government, partnership with universities in research and development centers for agricultural value addition and nutrition centers. 7. Infusing AI, Algorithms, Machine Learning Technology with a robust Knowledge Graph for insights, knowledge creation, predictive analyrics for the growth of the sector.

“Average companies focus on the needs of customers. Decent companies serve them at the level of expectations. But category-defining companies serve the perceptions of customers. But most times, those customers do not even believe until the full products have been cooked and baked for them.” Ndubuisi Ekekwe

I felt very inspired today knowing that I come from a generation of liberators and I am very ready to dig deeper to help inspire my work for Africa’s economic libration.

In 1885, courtesy of some of the writings of Kortor Kamara and The Short History of Sierra Leone by Christopher Fyfe, my great grandmother Momo Jah was mentioned in brief of his fight to liberate our country (Truly we don’t we need to be our own historian) https://archive.org/details/historyofsierral00fyfe. My Great Grandfather was a great liberator of our land and in 1885 as the wealthiest man in Sierra Leone according to ‘A Short History of Sierra Leone’ attracted the British Government and signed Trade Treaties with Queen Victoria.

In 1969 my Dad became a Champion of what I have come to know as ‘The Third World Liberation Front (TWLF) movement of the 1968 -1969 era. He was selected by the University of California to lead the program and championed multicultural education movement in the United States.

In the 21st Century I am picking up that baton to start a movement for the economic liberation of Africa. Finally I have found my voice and I can clearly see that this is gift in our family and I am very proud of it. My passion to have our company operate in all African countries to fix the continent economy sometimes burns in me like an unquenchable fire that burns in my soul. As one that started from my great grandfather to my father and it now burns in me.

It is very evident that at different times God visited my generation before me and for some reason the lamp that was lit up was hid under a bushel. I count myself privileged to have this light lit again in me and on this continent. By the Special Grace of God at the end it shall speak.

When you read the outcome of the document that led to my father’s appointment as the lead of a multicultural program at the University of California in Berkeley in 1969. You will appreciate what happened in that time and his ability to rise to the occasion in that era. I am happy to know this and very pleased that he led such a program at such a time in history.

We thank God for this opportunity as we collaborate to execute across borders.

It was my first time going into a meeting with a professional studio set for the meeting. I breeze in and out of meetings as an entrepreneur and a businessman, but I was told to pause and take a professional photo. I said okay and moved to my next meeting. https://www.neqtar.com/ The projects these guys are doing in Africa are fantastic.

Amazon is solving a logistics problem, which is why they are in business. If 90% of trade happens at the shop, and 90 million SMEs in Africa are doing merchant-to-merchant trade at $ 1 trillion, representing 16% of intra-African trade. What contextual factor can we harness to flip intra-African trade to a volume above 70%?

America's intra-trade grew when containerization was invented and moved trade from the Mississippi River to the railway and roads. America built over four million miles of road in the Dwight D. Eisenhower era and helped transform the American economy. The Kibaki era built east, north, and southern bypass roads that open Nairobi city and county. What must the next generation do to flip Kenya's economy to a trillion-dollar economy?

We give God all the glory for advancing us day by day. 1 Samuel 12:6.

African leaders should listen to us entrepreneurs and not just political advisors. Entrepreneurs like us are living the challenge daily. We don't grow via deals (like political business owners), we battle real market forces.

In 2012, a gentleman called Nicholas Norbrook wrote a piece in the African Report about a global debt burden of about $100 trillion by the Australian Treasury head or so. I tagged him here, and he can clarify the information.

The warning implied that rich countries would not give loans, budget support, and FDI in developing and low-income economies due to the heavy debt burden.

The only hope then was for African countries to have a solid fiscal policy, domestic revenue generation, and the profitable use of sovereign funds and social security funds. Those were the days when managers of those funds ate the money in those funds by giving loans to themselves in a manner that can be compared to drinking sugar chain juice.

The rainy day has just started. African leaders are designing all manner of taxation to solve this with no manufacturing, exporting billions of dollars in cash to feed most of the populations that have now doubled, busting at the seams.

Sovereign Guarantee funds and Social Security funds were to be invested in digitizing 80% of government services, and human and intellectual capital in those countries. By 2012 African countries were investing 1% in digital infrastructure. We moved across countries, telling them to do digital representations of people, transactions, government services, etc. They used to refer to us as people who discuss balloon ideas.

The D day is finally here, they are calling for global financial system rearrangement that will not happen, taxing 10% of the population will not solve the problem, and by next year most of them will start taxing gross profits as almost 80% of Africa countries have 70% to 80% of debt to GDP ratio.

Until we drive a policy that will create a digital representation of 80% of all we have on the continent including mineral resources. Most African countries will dive deep into negative deleveraging in the next five years. I know our leaders will not listen but it will happen. If the sums of money in the IMF and World Bank are from the countries that have created a debt burden of $100 trillion for lenders, how are we sure they will not be the first beneficiaries during a global crisis?

BCA made me a pilot just for a day and the KQ facility is amazing.

"As 70% of Africa's population is in agriculture, we need technology to free that population to the services and tertiary production industries to rake in non-tax revenue from five (5) billion people (market) online globally for our collective prosperity."
