I may be biased in this debate but this is my opinion.Solar energy is overrated and Hydro energy is virtually unknown.Hydro dams are very useful especially in tropical Africa as there are many rivers streams and even lakes to harness water pressure to turn electro magnets.The part of hydro power is that it's inexpensive compared to diesel solar or geothermal power.Hydro power 

Building levies and waterway walls of protection prevents flooding as canals creeks and rivers rise.This demo is of plastic and is more durable.

This video shows gives an example of how piers and fishing docks are created.These are important infrastructure of river and creek fishing and boating.Both public and private thousands of these need to be built.

While the rest of the world is moving on with life,Black America hasn't figured out yet that America is not the be all and end all.People even in this age of information still think building a nation from the ground up is impossible.The key is having land on which to build it.Then comes the infrastructure.In order for you to have infrastructure you must have complete geopolitical control over the land you want to occupy.This is where smart city technology comes in.If there is a strong demand for an Afrikstan in Africa there will be investors willing to invest in building such a project.Turn key cities,ports,free trade zones airports,highways are enabeling contruction that once took decades now down to months.So when people think we are talking about decades.A city ca be built for 200,000 in less than two years.

I believe canals should be the main form of transportation on the continent 

 Smart cities make city planning more efficient and effective 

Many Black people in America do not have a clue about why they feel oppressed or still subjugated by a system of White domination in America and the globe.The answer to this is one word...INFRASTRUCTURE.The Chinese,Japanese,Europeans,and most people have it and the Black race does not.Before I continue I will let you in on a secret.Africa is lacking infrastructure.This means it does not have the capacity to solve basic problems and challenges that should be easy in the modern world.Infrastructure requires still in the age of globalism states with competent governments and bureaucracies that maintain these systems.The more a country advances the more efficient its infrastructure develops.

In Ancient times...Infrastructure meant the difference between being an empire and a power or being conquered and enslaved.All of the great civilizations had well developed trading post,roads,security,storage,communications,laws and treaties.The annexation of territory also meant the control over the infrastructure of the annexed land.Such control meant the people were dependent on the imperial force for the basic things of life.Infrastructure suffered when wars happened or people were forced to uproot.

The Modern Republic...Sought to end the problems of infrastructure by defining a nation to a specific territorial boundary called a state.Inside that state a government of the people would solve the problems of water,sewage,roads,postal,taxes,communications,laws,police,schools ect.The republic also protected its overseas holdings through treaties and diplomacy with other governments.Modern navies were created to protect the maritime infrastructure of Western Nations during the mercantile era.Ships sailed in synchronized order with a manifest backed up by laws of the high seas and prospective governments.Infrastructure also allows for banking and transfer of payments without hassle through a systematic process.This led to the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century and early 19th century.Through infrastructure modern nation states were built.

INFRASTRUCTURE IS..

:the underlying foundation or basic framework (as of a system or organization)
:the permanent installations required for military purposes
:the system of public works of a country, state, or region
:the resources (as personnel, buildings, or equipment) required for an activity

When I opened with the statement that there is no real Black infrastructure on Earth this is what I am saying.Infrastructure allows a state to be totally self sustaining without the help of another country.A state should be able to enforce its own laws and meet out justice in its own courts.A state should be able to feed its own population or trade in equal value food for goods produced in that state.Japan does not grow all of its food but it has a highly developed industrial capacity.It does not produce raw materials but its economy is structured around trade and export.It processes raw materials into finished capital goods to trade for things it needs such as oil,wood,wheat,cotton.Without a government and a system in place its economy would collapse.Nigeria has oil,it has forest,it has gold,it has the richest fishing grounds off its coast but it does not refine oil to gasoline.Nor does it produce enough fish or rice for its huge domestic market.Why is this?For one the railways,roads and electrical grid is in poor condition.Corrupt governments spend the money meant on infrastructure lavishly and projects get abandoned half way.This is the case throughout Africa.Part of having infrastructure is to maintain it.Poor infrastructure cost Africa 200 billion a year in lost productivity.Poor infrastructure is the reason that so  many young Africans  are risking the high seas to get to Europe and Asia.

Black Infrastructure Organization Presents

The LIN Concept:

Understanding Land, Infrastructure & Nationhood

A five-part series of reports demonstrating the fundamental structures behind the business of nation-building.

________________________________________________________________________________________

Introduction

Land. Infrastructure. Nationhood.

It is these three fundamental elements that have been determined by the Black Afrikan Infrastructure Organization as necessary in building a new nation for Progressive Afrikans throughout the Afrikan Diaspora.

Without land, a people will remain in endless poverty if they don’t either control it or have vested interests in its development. Without a physical infrastructure, the same people will be forever curtailed in the conduction of unfettered commerce. And without the autonomy needed as an independent nation, the same people will remain vulnerable to the established laws and predominant culture of others.

As we review the dynamic and distinctive history of Afrikans within the context of the Western world, the sheer disappointment of perpetual mistreatment, failed expectations, and continuous, systemic relocation of our populated areas has rendered all as a disenfranchised people, and most often not by our own choice. New ways of thinking and fresher approaches to these persistent problems are obviously what’s needed. Therefore, land, infrastructure, and nationhood are the solution.

The LIN Concept: Understanding Land, Infrastructure & Nationhood is a five-part series of reports summarizing the basic building blocks used in the creation of a new nation. Each report will feature an overview of important factors that must be considered for the viability and future prosperity of Progressive Afrikans.

• Part 1: Land briefly explains the process of acquiring, developing, planning, and financing acquired land.

• Part 2: Infrastructure gives a preview of ten critical sectors of public infrastructure, as well as their importance to functioning societies, business, and commerce.

• Part 3: Nationhood will provide a synopsis of how a government is created, and its duties to promote the people’s interests.

• Part 4: Satellite Cities gives readers an introduction to fresh alternatives that are being implemented to serve growing populations across the world.

• Part 5: Nation-building: The Fundamentals provides a summary of building a new nation with four essentials: a name, borders, a currency, and people.

Feel free to leave your comments, questions, or suggestions about land, infrastructure, and nationhood, as we'd like for everyone to provide input with other like-minded Progressive Afrikans who share the same interests and passions for creating this new way of life.

About BAIO:

The Black Afrikan Infrastructure Organization is a diverse group of progressive individuals of Afrikan descent residing throughout the Western Hemisphere and Afrikan Diaspora, all of whom share a common interest in improving the quality of life standards for our people. Through the amalgamation of business development, skills mastery, entrepreneurship, advanced farming, education, S.T.E.M., international diplomacy, trade, commerce, and Afrikan arts and culture, BAIO is steadfast in its efforts to produce new solutions to modern challenges encountered across the economic, political and social realms of today's world. Its theory of Afrikan-centered progressivism has already been researched, documented and discussed; the time has now come to put theory into plans of action.

BAIO's motto is unapologetically resolute: "land, infrastructure, nationhood". By way of an absolute consensus among participating members, it has been determined that these three essential elements are fundamental in realizing true empowerment and independence for contemporary descendants of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade throughout the Afrikan Diaspora.

BAIO's main objectives include the acquisition of land for public and private use that will be generally planned upon concepts based on satellite city models; the design, development and management of an advanced physical infrastructure which implements S.T.E.M.-based technologies, alternative energy solutions, integrated transportation networks, modern ports, permaculture, advanced medical facilities and a host of other services; and the creation of the independent nation-state of Afrikstan, which will be administered by a representative government and chartered under the Constitution for the Republic of Afrikstan.
