![A 25% to 100% Crime Reduction Blueprint Strategies matter, and all strategies are not equal. Focus on the minimum of 25% to trust me or read on, or doubt on the 100% because you are pessimistic, but put a number you trust before you read the proposed details and a different number after you read or see the implemented ideas. Every stage I present will be with feasible numbers, so journeying through all the stages requires determination, sacrifice, and hopefully sweet patience. The stages include: Education, minor rewards, re-education, major rewards. The good news is part of it can be with or without the governments, since governments are hard to convince on doing unprecedented good. Yes! The Blueprint revolves around nationwide and worldwide culture of Cameras, except I am detailing aspects in ways I was yet to use. Mass education, Mass Access, Mass Participation, and up to Mass rewarding beyond money. Yes! We will need money to implement the Blueprint, but a few millions for some small countries, and a few billions for worldwide realization. First, let me tease you with what all of us can relate to: money. Yes, this plan includes how to make hundreds or thousands of new millionaires while helping eliminate or reduce crime. Again, our definition of crime may vary, and different countries are at different levels, may run the plan differently, so may arrive at different levels of achievements. You may need to search my recent article: 'two to hundred Billion dollars for world peace and security' to have a better understanding on some aspects, including technical feasibilities I will avoid repeating here. The new higher quality of body cameras will significantly boost interest and mass participation is tantamount to mass success. Stage One or Education: By using much greater education on how all citizens must invest in body cameras, will modestly boost participation. ' Invest or stop complaining about crime+ or blind trust without irrefutable evidence.' Me doing it may yield one to twenty percent boost; Trump, Elon Musk, president Tinubu, Barrow, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, etc may see ten to twenty percent boost. Meaning, trust matters, but we should not underestimate the importance of the message (education). We will have national and worldwide pitchers. Since my estimate here is even less than the 25% minimum, you should agree I am realistic, not naive, nor doubting some countries may actually register even 50% participation at this stage, depending on the used message and/or deliverer. Detailing the types of messages to use will just lengthen the article and raise too many unnecessary doubts. Think of what you deem fit and let us assume we are using that. Stage Two or Minor Awards: Imagine a weekly or monthly awards of $1000, to $10,000 awards for using your body camera footage to solve a crime or learn something huge through the news. Even announcing such by a trusted voice in every country can have many people buying body cameras. Let's do the rough maths: $1000 a month or three prizes of such is how much for your country and worldwide? Very little and I detailed how to raise the funds in my mentioned article. New company sponsors can be sought. Depending on the riches or size of the country, we should consider $10,000 on the top monthly prize to boost participation. Spending $25 to $100+ on body cameras to reduce crime, and potentially win $1000 or $10,000 is something many may consider. This is a part we can privately do through a special commission of judges, journalists, board, etc. We do not need the government on this aspect. However, the second minor reward of 15 to 25% reward of splitting fines through your footage requires government participation. Luck or The judges and lawmakers will essentially determine how much you make through this stage. I estimate about $25 to $1000+ through such, depending on the country or crime, and many will be happy. Stage Three or re-education: Again, detailing the types of messages I think we should use may be controversial or premature to discuss. However, by simply announcing our monthly winners and educating how their videos helped will likely boost participation towards 50% or more in the average countries. Showing real winners on TV and social media will certainly trigger more interest towards mass buying or participation. Stage Four or major reward: Million dollars is both small and big. It is small in the sense of raising it per country or raising one to xyz billion dollars if we can convince billionaires or governments of the effective nature of our strategy. Million dollars is also big in the sense that the poor and many rich folks will gladly receive it as a huge blessing while trying to do good. Meaning, even millionaires may buy and remember to permanently turn on their body cameras, vehicle cameras, etc to potentially win good money. From the minor rewards to the announcing of this minimum of million dollars per country, I estimate about 75% may participate in many countries. Feel free to doubt my numbers, but you may agree every stage is vital and will help reduce crimes, from deterrence to convictions. Doing the maths: Let say there are about 300 countries in the world, or to participate. That is still way under one billion dollars even if we add modest second and third prizes raffle or merit based analysis per country. Again, countries spent billions on weapons to destroy through wars, catch international criminals, etc. Feel free to debate politicians will be hard to convince, but about ten percent of presidents/leaders may actually gladly participate through tax payers funding of such, if the idea reaches them. Those ten percent likely know billionaires who will be interested in funding such to speed up human evolution on character and beyond. Here again, an NGO or movement can handle the awards based on raffle and/or merit based. I am most concerned with mass participation, so I think the raffle is much better. With enough money, we can have both. Remember the stages and understand the human mind: 'for the month of May, we have awarded about 1000 people different amounts and all of them are now entered in a million dollar lottery/raffle will trigger more participation and hope.' My body camera caught a petty thief and your body camera or vehicle camera caught a rapist of an adult woman is for 'merit based folks ' to debate, but if my thief would have raped a child, then let God decide who deserves a nice financial reward through stages of deterrence, including contribution to convictions. The village boy or girl will be more willing to understand that the prospects are closer and beyond crimes. I will consider learning or news making videos of even animals to be considered for potential awards. Our target is mass participation, so let the villagers be encouraged beyond potential rape that is near zero in some poor but caring areas. Since the primary raffle is likely between a few thousands, not millions, the prospect of winning is much higher than traditional lottery. Meaning, switch or split your lottery budget towards the best 'raffle' for humankind yet? Although I am presenting the plan as a worldwide plan, I expect you to pitch it from a national level. By ascertaining all ministers in your country get this article, one may be able to convince your president or leader towards actions. If you share with journalists who may publish and/or write it differently, a billionaire or centi-millionaire may be interested in making it happen. I happen to be from a poor country called the Gambia, but we have few people that can realize it with or without the potential of making decent money through the plan. By opening a world class camera store and following the plan, countless poor Gambians or xyz will buy. Confronting the Pessimistics: You have the disbelievers, but also the doubters. The disbelievers in the good of cameras can have all kinds of fears and excuses I am not interested to debate here, but willing to debate anyone on TV. As for the doubters, they may claim things like affordability. Yes, there may be ten percent of Gambians or xyz who are struggling on food at times, but they also own smartphones and expensive dresses in the poor villages. The messaging in some good months will send poor folks to buy, the awards can boost buyers, the real mass achievements of less crimes by even animals will uplift the poor. Our cameras will help certain farmers detect destructive monkeys or pigs+ earlier, boost their production for food or your cost. Our generation must accept body cameras as a huge blessing that must be worldwide. Cameras are tight to food, security, better character, health, etc. So let us accept the level we have, research further as my other mentioned article hinted, and help the poor+ to own enough cameras. Considering mass access of various body cameras is indeed a problem in many countries, I think the rich folks and politicians are the pessimistic guilty ones, but how many of them may repent and amend if we share to educate them? The journalists are arguably the second guilty doubters who may 'repent, amend, and proclaim' until realised, as ch.2:160 hinted differently. Cameras, money, and crime rates: If the title is about crime rates, then why is the article leaning on money and cameras? Reducing crime is primarily through education, but cameras help in both deterrence and securing convictions. The way we convince people to mass participate in camera buying will speed up with money or financial rewards. Any sane person will agree that if 75% of individuals own body cameras, have vehicle cameras, house cameras, farm cameras, etc it can reduce over 25% of crimes. Most countries hardly see 10% reduction in crime in a year, and even some measure reduction in questionable ways. So my title is a range, depending on a country and other issues. Do not endlessly debate against me, my plan, the title, etc, but accept reality, share, or come up with a better plan or writing. Seeing what may help your country or the world significantly reduce crime is a major blessing that demands you employing efforts, not doubting. Among the descriptions of Heaven is 'free of lies [and cruelties]'. Should we try to build heaven on earth, aspects of heaven, or just pray for heaven? Cameras are heavenly and may God give the best heavens to those who sincerely try to give others the aspects of heaven humans can offer to humans. I know devils hate cameras, so I can fairly assume God loves cameras, gave us cameras, and may he give us much better cameras within weeks, worldwide. When rich countries like the u.s are branding cellular phones to record in protests or crimes, it reveals the journalists+ are not doing their job in urging for mass buying of body cameras. Also for fairly rich countries like the u.s, I will suggest one million dollars award per state or the big states. Billionaires like Pretzker, Bloomberg, and how many residents of Florida may be strongly opposed to the law that bars even recording of abusive cops? By partnering up, we can remove such laws through mass participation and raise your prospects towards winning the next presidency or governorship. The Democrats or xyz can complain or try to educate the masses, or even consider laws and subsidies towards mass culture of cameras. I hope God realizes it worldwide in 2026, but if we push for rich countries in 2026, R&D and others can force them to upgrade, or results may pressure the 'followers' to eventually accept investing in cameras is arguably better than weapons, prisons, questionable roads, etc. If all or many countries participate and how many states in a country, then how many millionaires am I helping create? Remember the crimes to deter or solve, remember the learning and other good things. May God bless the caring who will publish and/or share. Lord, help me and help them, deter evil away from them, including diseases or any pain, give them happiness, and even proportionately give me and all of them huge man made wealth through proportionate efforts... May God bless Showlove Trinity: let's learn, let's work, let's have fun.

Although I am yet to travel all over Africa, Africans travel to my tiny country, and information about Africa and Africans travels towards me. There is no continent I prefer over Africa, especially in the world of nature. I think this week should have been a week of reminding Africans why we should be grateful without looking down on others and where we need to work on to avoid harder lives. Over 85 people are reportedly dead in the u.s due to extreme cold, according to the under reporting media. If it is about 85 people dead within a week, then how much is it in a season and per decade? How many millions suffered but did not die? And how many billions of dollars were lost and made? Although these disasters largely cost money, some people and even industries exist due to these problems.
Yes, Africa has completely different smaller problems that are largely man made and refuse to learn on many issues. My Gambia or SeneGambians are often complaining about our nice sunlight, which may be much nicer than the sunlight of Saudi Arabia, the Middle East, and even humid summer sunlight of North Carolina to the deserts of Arizona. You do not need to visit every ‘hell’ if you know maths and check the weather forecasts to imagine and choose. The irony is about 25% of westerners may thank God for their poor sunlight more than Africans, and elite to Middle class Africans may thank God for their low level man made wealth, air conditioners, or finance more than richer westerners or Arabs+?
If we study the problems of Africans, we tend to see ignorance or lack of appreciation for knowledge and knowledgeable people. African heat or cold did not kill 85 Africans in one week, but negligence on things like food killed a lot more Africans within the week. Actually, over 200 Africans, (migrant boat sunk), reportedly died this week while trying to reach colder Europe. There is no visible blessing greater than the sun, but does that mean more sun is always best? Humankind are like aliens on earth, and even sun loving people like myself have limits on the amount of sun we can take.
I do not know if I may like the Saudi sun, but I do appreciate and do have a sun sauna in the Gambia, which means I can take more heat, at least for a few hours. The reality remains in ch.76:13 ‘extreme heat or extreme cold is not ideal for humans. How do we define extreme heat or extreme cold on earth? We ask the plants or the children of Africa before they sin on sex and money+? Or we ask the most truthful: if Africans do not have the worse and worst weather, why do they complain about their sweet weather? It could be ignorance or phatic talk they inherited?
Those of us who travelled are divided. All of us know that the west has a much harder test on weather, but 25 to 50% of us will join the guilty Africans in complaining about our sweet weather. Our journalists do not seize such opportunities to re-educate our populace and pressure our politicians towards solving our real problems. My personal experience includes when I switched to a vegan lifestyle, I enjoyed the sun now much more , but how many Africans know this fact versus may make the efforts? It does not matter if 5%, 25%, or 50% and more may try it for months or years to see similar results. After travelling, you can bring back money and/or knowledge to share with varyingly grateful and/or ungrateful people.
The west is not all gloomy. Among the nice things I cherished about the west is their wide varieties of food, especially plant based food. Availability and affordability of food in the West versus Africa can be both direct and indirect comparisons. How much plant based food is available in Africa versus our potential are two different questions? Recently, I published an article outlining how we can improve our edible tropical trees and show that the Gambia and most of Africa are not even 25% of our potential on trees and plants in general.
We can change that availability reality if we work together more closely, but mass changing will often require government and media participation. On affordability, our import oriented leaning means only the richest can afford our rising availability through imports. Affordability should not always be tied to foreign exchange rates, but what the ordinary laborer or teacher can afford per country.
When you and I, or the millions of Africans, enjoyed wide varieties of plants in the West, that is an introduction for possible reintroduction. From the colonial days, westerners see plants in other areas and think about what efforts can we make to have our people or others access them? In the case of vegetables, Africa can grow virtually everything. I feel ashamed that I enjoyed collard greens, Swiss chard, kale, etc for a long time before thinking about how to introduce such blessings to even my parents. Perhaps it never crossed my mind and God or who controls our thoughts versus ears? God introduced you to some plants through your parents and the efforts of colonial masters, but when God introduced you to some plants in the west or Asia+, what efforts will you employ beyond your family?
A poor writer may not be listened to by money worshipping Africans, but who knows if thousands or more may learn this week, and how many millions or billions may learn by when? Small or big, I am lucky to be a medium, introducing my parents to plants they never knew, except I want to do much more and far beyond my parents. I do not agree that colonisation was totally bad, and I think the colonial masters who made efforts to introduce Africans to plants deserve heaven more than some of our current leaders who are indifferent or employ very little effort to uplift the poor. Why should the rich Asians or others make more efforts to introduce Africans to new plants more than the rich Africans in 2026? They over value bloody meat or indifferent in which layers against who?
How do we ascertain we consume 5 to 10 different leafy vegetables per week; 5 to 10 fruits per week; 5 to 10 types of nuts per week; enough seeds and herbs, etc are blessings we can seek more than man made things. Food and enough quality food are different. The ‘how’ (cooking or preparation) aspects on food for taste and beyond are all mysteries or blessings we are ushered into, even here on earth. When the Quhr-aahn hints ‘heaven has wide varieties of plants, then science and conscience point us to plants for health+ for seeking… I enjoy reading, praying, and even dreaming about heaven, but gratitude told me to seek and share the best of what the earth offers. Our generation is very lucky in some ways, but how do we utilize the opportunities and at least invite people into the blessings that God offers?
The governments are hijacked by the guilty west, or will they offer land reforms asap? The world of trees requires a lot of land and the swift addition of billions of trees for fruits and nuts, if we care about the poor accessing quality fruits. The worlds of grains, vegetables, and herbs require planning, some money, and more vertical gardening. Seeds are largely in between. I am optimistic, but the decades we lost before our repentance started, and our slow pace, do scare me a bit. When God inspires, I feel optimistic and He often follows it up with joy and more introduction for myself. I often feel disappointed compared to hope or external achievements. Every sane and grateful soul wants to see mass repentance and mass uplifting. Those of us with physical challenges due to health can still urge and act where we can.
Whereas Africa’s sun is arguably the best visible blessing we can be expelled or suspended from at what age before possible readmission… When was the last time you said: ‘ thank you God for the sun’ or you just complained about it? If we send you to the west, some atheists are saying ‘nice day’ due to the sun more often than which Africans or xyz? The mystery of the sun is still unfolding. How much sun do we need versus want from personal level to working level are different.
I do not believe the thirty minutes of daily sunlight many doctors recommend is enough, unless you are looking for C level health. The sun has many layers of blessings and we pray to rise, enjoy, and be highly blessed through the sun. I am not bragging, but highly thankful that I enjoy the nice dry sunshine. However, even me, I am in a mixed blessing with the sun. I want at least two hours of sweat like sunlight and while exercising, yet I am too poor to build an over 75% glass house with gym+. Sometimes, I find it hard to go sunbathing while writing, partly due to mood and how the sun may affect screen writing or viewing. Today, I am reclining on the sun-friendly window to write this article, but both the furniture and sun level could have been better. The other irony about the Sun is cold is not really what many think. Cold is just the absence of heat and mainly the sun. All the western cold is really God withholding his sun or blessing per season…
Even atheist leaning Elon Musk admits the Sun is very unique and makes other earthly sources of energy very small. The sun offers way beyond vitamin D or hormone D. In regards to energy, human needs for energy are relatively small, so I prefer wind energy over solar energy. We just lack enough knowledge and blessings, but our needs and reasonable wants can be met if we shift from the capitalist mindset and get God much more. Beside universal land access, we must see water as a time based right. Meaning, we should make water accessible to all for free or at a reasonable rate per person for unlimited usage. Water access for year round farming is overdue.
Where I admire the west the most is their love or determination on learning, or more specifically education. However, why we seek knowledge and how we utilize knowledge after attainment are different and more crucial. Trying to subjugate the weak through knowledge or power is largely evil. Of course these problems are not exclusive to westerners, because we have seen many African leaders and educated Africans indifferent to the poor and orphans up to the Gambia’s development plan (NDP). Where do you demonstrate universal love on education and set acceptable minimums with efforts, including the use of reciprocal-law under a just God? Do you want a university level of education for your children and not even high school for the poorest or those with questionable parents?
Human choices are completely at different levels. No matter where God tests you with, you may have good and bad people. So I would rather be in a nice place like Africa, but how do we make Africans good or great , including how to appreciate the intelligence, truth, and kindness God offers on earth? If your neighbours do not eat well, they may feel sick and that will affect you. They may come for loans to pay doctors more often because they refuse to garden or pay farmers enough, and that can affect you differently. From the inability to help to going to endless funerals are not nice.
Beyond weather, the West has huge drug problems that Africa should smartly avoid. How do we introduce our children and parents or grandparents to wide varieties of plants is both a prayer and above prayer. It requires efforts, including to ‘exhort each other to truth’, as per ch.103. If your love is small, then do it at the family level. Can you send us enough dried fruits, nuts, seeds, canned vegetables, etc is one route. Or if you want quality and have big love, then check my other articles on using aircrafts to transport billions of tree seedlings and ask God to uplift me big beyond words. Talk to others on more gardening and ask them to send you seeds, not just clothes. Why is Africa dependent on her children and children of other races where we can repent? May God help us repent and Amend enough. May God bless Showlove Trinity: let’s learn, let’s work, let’s have fun.
