Simplest definition of colonialism:

Any actions which stem from the belief that a culture has the moral right to co-orce its own people or the peoples of another culture to abide by particular cultural norms simply because it has the power (legal or not) to threaten peoples lives with military or police force.

Additional thoughts:

Declaring independence from a colonizing country isn’t the same as decolonizing. Declaring independence means that the governing bodies of a country would like to have authority to govern their people independently from the colonial motherland.

However, often this authority to govern their own people is still based on a colonial belief system and after having won independence they maintain a colonial culture by conducting themselves as colonizers to their own peoples and other cultures.

Decolonization on the other hand is the abolishment of coercive methods which force peoples to submit to cultural norms becuase of threats to someone’s life or sense of well-being more broadly.

Decolonization is also the adoption of consensus based methods of individual sovereignty and collective decision making which generates cultures of consent and agreement for participation into any social system at all levels of life from childrearing to businesses practices to community organizing.

Decolonization is key to world peace and global collective healing.

Much love,

COALAGRAM
Co-Ala Cooperative Authentic Learning Association

Ye! I've been working endlessly BTS,so this is the map & Organogram of COALA,her activities,her missions,her pipeline etc.

- Developing The Idea 💡-

The idea has been developed by Divine Feminine, Alana Gamage ,CEO Urban Shamanic Institute,you should as well check that up as well, she's doing so well and in proper check of her highest self.We had known each other for decades and more,We started working on Ruby n Rails,and the rest is history.

- Creating Awareness (Theoretically)

I'm at this stage in COALA,I'm creating awareness theoretically spreading my online presence via my Meditation Journals,Books (Pedagogy of the oppressed)you should check that as well.
It's gonna take me couple of time,to stamp my presence solidly,but I will be swift and perfect on it.
I will be engaging in multiple ways and style Creating Awareness Theoretically,which I'm still researching on,Be advised I'm not advertising,I'm getting attracted to like minds.

- Startup Funding
In Past Years, I've been, and still supported by Alana Gamage, Darian Spearman ,Steed on this course.
Dagmar Noll has been so good to me, she's a queen, god mother,Hail Dagmar!though not on the same Coala Map .etc
ATM COALA is being funded by me, I'm funding COALA with everything I can get to support it,My Highest Self being my greatest supporter on this course.
In a week though,not regularly, I spend $50/70, sometimes less depending on my task list on my task card.

This is a difficult stage in which results are expected on the long run and in turn , I'm indebted to humanity.On the long run,I can be able to fund Coala as my career progresses.

Different views from the Capitalists,etc
"Why should I"?
"What do I stand to gain"?
"What's gonna be my profit"?
"What am I gonna get in return?"
The value of money is being sought for
Etc.
There are actually frameworks of COALA worth monetising,I will be citing them later on.
If I handle and grip this stage properly,I will be able to launch into the next stage smoothly with a massive debut .
This stage will enable me face any logistic issues.

- Creating Awareness (Field work)

This stage is the most daunting,This is COALA itself ,I move from communities,I hit the ground with a timberland boot 👢,I attract like minds,I begin adapting frameworks to real life issues.
This is the Oxygen of COALA.
I will be Kickstarting COALA in Nigeria,moving via West Africa.

- Legal Inc. ,Website,Etc

Legal Incorporations and registration will be made and binding.
The CAC with Nigeria🇳🇬 and IRS with the USA🇺🇸 as a Non- Profit , though due to the fact that some frameworks in COALA are worth monetising,We can have some clause on registration as a for - profit.
I will be fundraising globally,and radically,My supporters are simply, attracted like minds, individuals, companies,etc.

- Board Team

I call them Founding or Root Members, I'm still adding to the list, There's no big deal, I'm just attracting like minds,They were the first like minds that got attracted to me.
I've got Alana,Darian,Mia & Steed,all doing excellently in their respective fields, maintaining connection to their highest self.

- COALA ROADMAP
This is the smooth running of COALA,This is COALA in full operation.

These are the pipelines COALA will be going through, Please Note that these may be subject to change by suggestions, in future occurrences etc.

Attention!

I'm tired of Foreign countries sending aids (Feeding,etc) to Africa,We don't need AIDS,We need Ideas Powering Funds,The Elites and Bourgeoise will call it
INVESTORS/INVESTMENT We need Farmers who can help us water our seeds.
These aids don't even get to the POOREST,the Bourgeoise use it to power their 💡 ideas.😀
The world bank has sent billions to Nigeria in aids years ago and none of them has gotten to the AVERAGE talk less of the POOREST.

Who can water my Idea?
Who can water our ideas?
Africa doesn't really need those Feeding aids,they are cheating us and blindfolding us from our highest self and we can't see the bigger picture.
Ideas from the highest power and from our highest selves.
Billion Ideas 💡
They only want us to live to eat,sleep,wake up & die.

Though we might beg to eat, because you can't even think if you haven't eaten,Hunger is a disaster.

Every African is a potential millionaire,but we've lost our Highest Self & started becoming what,& who we don't know leaving our original staring at us helpless and functionless.

Off and on,On and off,ups and downs goes life like a rollercoaster,but during these trying times,We loose our guide,and we turn blind, Though we have got Guiding questions.
These Guiding Questions helps us reflect more.

When you have an answer for every guiding questions,you will never turn blind.

This is Chess in Slums, Africa Initiative , by Tunde Onakoya who recently broke the Guinness world record (GWR) for longest hours for chessathon.

Now there's a Pattern over here

He's a community builder,(Community Building)He discovered the highest power which in TURN birthed his Highest Self (Connection to the highest power),and at the moment,He changes the lives of children from the slums and make something out of an empty thing.(Transforming Institutions),He uses the game of chess to do his magic (Raise excellent children,from the slums ,etc)which has been given as an eternal gift from the highest power as a result of his highest power birthed(Creative Expression, Learning & Teaching).

So,there are 5 Themes/Life Questions,/Life solutions of COALA in what Tunde does, I've sought around,meditated & Tunde is the closest practice model to me ATM,I will do my possible best to reach out to his team in the coming months as I'm led,as time permits.In coming days,there wil be a graph and chart to simply explain these patterns and illustrate how the polka dots connects.

My Practice Model

Many people ask us, “Why chess? “How can the game of chess put food on the table of a child in need’?

In 2022, from the notorious crime hotspot, Oshodi Underbridge, a young boy who had been living under the bridge and surviving as a bus conductor emerged as a chess champion after just two weeks of training.

Fast-forward to 2024, allow us to reintroduce Fawaz, who is not only a chess prodigy, but also skilled in web development, graphics design, animations, and currently interning at a prestigious firm.

For us, chess provides a child with an intellectual identity, accompanied by respect and esteem. It is no longer a matter of ‘You are poor’ but rather a question of ‘You are a chess player, what more can you achieve with the right platform?’ Potential holds immense value, only when it is actualized.

So when you ask, “Why chess?” We respond, “Why not chess?”

This recognition is not just for our organization but for the countless underserved children across Nigeria and Africa whom we strive to support and empower through chess and education.

It symbolizes the collective effort of our team, volunteers, and partners who tirelessly work towards our mission of providing educational opportunities to those who need it most.

In the words of our convener, , there is no future worth dreaming of that does not include all of them.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to His Excellency, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and for this honorable recognition. We also thank God for the platform He has blessed us with.

Together, let us continue to champion the cause of education and work with the motto: ‘It is possible to do great things from a small place.’

Special recognition to the esteemed Sir Johnson Abbaly of , for accepting this award on our behalf.

Talking about "A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY" Who TF called,caused us a "THIRD WORLD COUNTRY"?
Oooh! yeah we did,Yup!
Where are the first & second world countries?
Watching Dagmar Noll ,riding the carousel 🎠🎠,I was struck again deep within me,it stung me real hard like a scorpion.Ouch!!This hurts deeply.
We as Africans have a lot of questions to ask rhetorically.
Like:- Why do we mix our henny's with Pills & potion's of pretense, backwardness and complexity?
Why aren't there no longer cheap funs anymore?
Why is Fun expensive?
What happened to our indigenous fun modes/games? Ludo,Snakes & Ladders,"Suwe","Catcher".
We have the Netflix's,PS5's,PS4's etc.Yup! We love it,Good!
If Dagmar was riding the carousel in NIGERIA,I bet she would have been laughed at,Filmed,& found to be "Childish"whereas she was just catching fun in her rare form of simplicity,Peak of Joy she said.
Why do we work so so hard in Africa,all day,all night without us having a lotta money to blow out our banks still?
Why do we take everything so so serious?Mehn!
Who called us "THE THIRD WORLD COUNTRY"?
PS: I ain't making racist slurs or racial jabs,I am not also blind to civilisation,& tech evolution.
I am tryna drive home some wisdom to the oppressed.We all oppressed.
Ooh yeah CoALA is a ripple in this 🌊 pacific.
