Be: Relational, Resourceful, Respectful, And Rewarding:

Ricketily grounded leaking tents inhabit the seas under bruised skies; each harbouring aborted and defenestrated aspirations.
Groggy flotillas of boats and ships overcrowded, cruising and navigating gingerly scraping through treacherous waters in pursuit of fulfillment mentally, physically, socially, and spiritually; making inroads into a haven on earth; needless to say peril fraught. Haunting gazes peer out from behind decrepit shelters or from overcrowded camps featuring: woozy thumb-sucking breastfeeding knee-high-to-a-grasshopper bobbysoxers and striplings; hoydens, rapscallions, tweens, and the senile as the Patriarch Methuselah.
Queues of strangers offering mental, physical, social, and spiritual shoulders to lean on reign over the vicinities.
Enervated learning, relearning, and unlearning jetties under the trees in the shades are rife in eager pupils and students.
Prayers offered and worshipping done thanks to auditory nerves bursting, earth wrecking, heart throbbing, pulse plating, thunderous and torrent vocals emanated by the men and women of clothe ; prayers adorned by tightly holding each other’s hands forming comfortable configurations and belting out music resuscitate punctured hopes.
Dearth, deaths, debts, defeats, defects, delays, demands, depression, despair, differences, dirt, disappointments, diseases, distance, and doubts are buried by erecting economic hamlets and dwelling homes.
Welcome to the refuge of the refugees.
Welcome to the flight: Be Relational, Resourceful, Respectful, And Rewarding.


The Engineer Eric Munene Mugambi teeming up with the Social Capitalist Rebecca Nkirote Anthony, the Entrepreneur Mary Norinah Kiprop and not being wooden bespectacled to the Diplomat Sir Justus Kabaka Nyunja from the United Nations Security Council unleash the Thursday,13th.June.2024 report of the global refugees as archived by the United Nations High Commissioner For Refugees:
Conflicts, events seriously disturbing public order, human rights violations, nationalities, persecution, political ideologies and opinions, race, religion and violence, war, and whistle-blowing catalyze external and internal displacement of innocent beings. Asylum seekers, internally displaced persons, migrants, and stateless persons are types, but not limited, of refugees.
6.4 million refugees, 6.4 million refugees, 6.1 million refugees, 6 million refugees, 3.8 million refugees, 3.3 million refugees, 3 million refugees, 2.6 million refugees, 2.3 million refugees, and 2 million refugees are harboured by these jurisdictions respectively: Afghanistan, Syrian Arabs’ Republic, Venezuela, Ukraine, Islamic Republic of Iran, Turkiye, Colombia, Germany and Pakistan. 47 million (40%) are children below 18 years of age. Two million children were born and branded refugees. Between 2018 and 2023 average annually 340,000 children were birthed refugees. 1.2 million refugees returned to their motherlands while 158,700 were resettled with or minus the UNHCR’s assistance. 4.4 million stateless persons in dire need of global assistance survive via the skin of the teeth in 95 countries. Other persons in dire need survive cheek-by-jowl in their neighbouring countries of origin.

Modern Day Slavery Includes, However Not Limited To:

(A). Debts’ Bondages: in India, financially crippled individuals are equivalent to land, properties and oxen. The current price of debt slaves is less than 95% it was in the past. In Proverbs 22:7 and in Matthew 18:23-35: the inability to pay debt leads one into captivity.

(B). Compelled Begging: On the streets of Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East; children are tasked with unrealistic financial goals and drowned in the streets to collect money.

(C). Compelled Coitus Slavery: in 2005, the Gulf Times reported boys hailing from Nepal being lured into India and enslaved in voracious pata pata to old women. There are 130 million child brides in Africa; over 22 million child brides reside in Nigeria.

(D). Compelled Fraud: Chinese criminal gangs in the Southeast Asian countries of Cambodia and Myanmar force individuals to clandestinely infringe into unaware individuals’ social media berths and financial jetties and illegally siphon their hard-earned resources.

(E). Compelled Labour: over 152 million children are crippled by child labour. Thanks to the World’s Vision that gaslights their statistics: 48% are 5-11 year-olds; 28% are 12-14 year-olds; 24% are 15-17 year-olds. 58% (88 million) are males and 24% (64 million) are females.71%, 12%, and 17.2 % are in the agricultural, industrial, and services sectors respectively.
Courtesy of the Wednesday dated 28th.September.2022 report by the Bureau Of International Labour Affairs (ILAB): cocoa plantations in Ivory Coast; gold mines in Burkina Faso; farmlands in Latin America and the textile industries in Bangladesh are rife in child labour production. The acai berries from Brazil; the alcoholic beverages from Cambodia; the amber from Ukraine; the artificial flowers from China; the baked products from the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, and Pakistan; and the bananas from Belize and Brazil are produced by children.

Vietnamese teenagers are trafficked to the United Kingdom and illegally compelled to arduously work in cannabis sativa farms.

(F). Compelled Marriages and Compelled Pregnancies: in the USA over 200,000 children were forced into marriage from 2002 to 2017; the youngest being only ten years old. In Kenya, pretending to be investors, they marry innocent ladies and desert them.

(G). Compelled Prisons’ Slavery: forced prisoners are compelled to arduously work in harsh working conditions excavate their graves and throw rocks at their fellow dead prisoners. SubhanaAllah! Millions of prisoners in China have died due to body, heart, mind, soul, and spirit-incapacitating drudgery. It was previously called the laogai system.

(H). Compelled State’s Labour: for many years, internally and externally in North Korea, the government forces its citizens to ardoursly work. In 2018, three million were slaves to the North Korean government.
Voracious, personal, and selfish-driven ambitions drive ravenous financial borrowing from external forces compelling even the incalculable innocent unbirthed to lead the dog’s lives as they pay these debts. This taketh place in Kenya.

(I). Human Trafficking: two individuals in Kent in the United Kingdom were found guilty of trafficking six Lithuanian men and forcing them to arduously work, back to back in eight hours and in shifts as chickens’ catchers.

(J).Radicalisation: forced child soldiers are found in Afghanistan; the Central African Republic(10,000 in the latest CAR melee); 30,000 in the Democratic Republic Of Congo; Iraq; Myanmar; Nigeria(over 2,000 in 2016 recruited by the Boko Haram); over 1,000 recruited by the Al-Shabab in Somalia; Cobra Faction and the Sudanese People’s Liberation Army in the opposition since 2013 recruiting over 17,000; Syria and Yemen recruiting over 1,500 child soldiers since 2015 in its perenial hostilities.
Here in Kenya: myopic and raw-baked individuals were deceived to starve to death to get into “heaven.”
The men and women of clothe give cold shoulders to their members’ hot potatoes and compel them to finance certain projects in pursuit of “blessings.”
Once you have made an inroad into certain affiliations, death is certain if you dare exit. Certain sources of income deny workers qualify time to rejuvenate and worship the ALMIGHTY LORD GOD. Others are immersed in certain customs and habits such as betting, gambling, lusts of the flesh, lusts of the eyes, the pride of life; ephemeral, fickle, finite and rickety grounded fashions and trends; dyed-in-the-wool consumption of certain products, programmes, services and indiscriminate social media consumption. These are modern-day slavery.

The Redress Methods, However Not Limited, Are:

(I). Advocacy and putting into practise legal measures on the culprits and those encouraging slavery.

(II). Arming one with knowledge, understanding, wisdom, and witticism: a book is a mirror: if an ape looks into it, an apostle is hardly likely to look out. George Lichtenberg.

(III). Being vocal: you may not control all the events that happen to you; however, you can decide not to be reduced by them. Poet Maya Angelou.

(IV). Corporate Social Responsibilities.

(V). Discourage ignorance: without libraries, undeniably we have no past and we have no future.
Give the gifts of books instead of flowers and chocolates to those that you passionately love. It shall grow generations. Ella Dyson. Factually speaking: the Blue Stocking Ellen Gould Harmon White was anti-slavery.

(VI). Encourage self-independence: I am no a bird and no net ensnares and enslaves me. I am a free human being with an independent will. Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre.

(VII). Encourage volunteering.

(VIII). Flex clients’ mental prowess: the heart is closer to the pocket than the mind. Be informed before purchasing and getting into loyalty to products, programmes and services. Emotions are wonderful servants but poor leaders. The head must reign over the body via the chest.
Education is the great engine of personal development. It is through education that the daughter of the peasant can become the medical doctor; it is through education that the son of the mineworkers can become the Head of the mines and it is through education that the child of farm workers can become the President of the great nation. It is what we make out of what we have that counts and matters not what we are endowed and leased upon with that decipher one person from another. Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Nelson Rolihlahla Mphakanyiswa Henry Gadla Tata Madiba Mandela.

(IX). Investments: personally, corporately, socially and spiritually invest. The time shall come when the bone and spine chilling winter shall audaciously audit thee,”What wast thou doing all summer?”

(X). Learning, relearning and unlearning the subliminal messages clandestinely domiciled in slavery and its offsprings. Do not communicate, connect. Do not be interesting, be interested.

(XI). Subscribing into anti-slavery associations, guilds, movements and organizations: heavily finance and morally for love or for war support them. Enable a fair and square working environment for them. I think that it is true that there are many minds as there are many heads; then there are as many kinds of love as there are hearts. Leo Tolstoy- Anna Karenina.

Come rain, come sunshine, may me and you all round the clock in all the four cardinal points be incessantly: Relational, Resourceful, Respectful And Rewarding.

By Professor and Philosopher Daniel Masese.
