Whiteman told me, that I am 46 years old; I told him I'm 50 000 years old.

Whiteman told me he taught me better agriculture techniques; I told him I invented agriculture. 

Whiteman told me that he brought modern education system; I told him that in my indigenous educational system, there is no such thing as unemployment.

Whiteman told me that he introduced money; I told him in our barter economics, we trade value for value, not valueless paper money for debt.

Whiteman told me that he brought time; I told him we understand seasons & tides better than his digital watch.

Whiteman told me that he gave me books to understand the world; I told him my oral history from my forefathers is my priceless library that is timless, that my memory give birth to my bio-cosmic conscience.

Whiteman told me that he made my life easier when he introduced cars; I told him I never heard of my own people bumping each other to death while walking.

White man told me he introduced medicine; I told him I never spent expensive bills on my herbal medicine.

Whiteman told me I was naked & he gave his clothes; I told him in my society there was no such thing as nakedness before he came.

Whiteman told me to speak his English language as a sign of success; I told him my ancestors spoke me into being through their native language & now I'm here as a refined man. 

Whiteman told me that I had food security issues; I told him if that was the case then he would have starved to death already in my country.

Whiteman told me to adopt his name so that I can sound modern; I told him my traditional names are pathways that connect me to my people, land, ancestors' creed, & Divine Self.

Whiteman told me that he introduced phone to connect us all; I told him untill you are in a place where there is not network coverage, my Kundu Drum will do the talking.

Whiteman told me he introduced satellite communications to help me find my way around; I told him I still use star-gazing & wave-reading skills taught to me by my ancestors to navigate around the high seas of the Pacific.

Whiteman told me he gave me his Constitution; I told him I'm the living Constitution carved out from my ancestors' moral code, that I already knew right from wrong before you came with your indoctrinations. 

Whiteman told me that he brought God; I told him he's wrong, that God was already in Melanesia before he came, for God is Omnipresent.

IF WE CANNOT DEFINE OURSELVES, THE FOREIGNERS WILL.

Central bank to investigate BSP

BPNG has been working with BSP continuously, to help them deal with the issues that unfolded as the upgrading process progressed. For example, at the initial stage BPNG staff were deployed to the provinces to monitor and report on the local situations as the upgrade commenced.

BPNG conducted regular meetings with BSP senior management throughout the upgrading process and intervened to raise concerns and offer potential solutions. BPNG’s interventions dealt with constructive recommendations for BSP to resolve issues, such as:
– Inform the public on the actions undertaken;
– Attend to individual clients;
– Meet with firms with payment issues;
– Develop a customer expectation strategy and program; and
– Focus on firms with international transactions to encourage goods and services suppliers to maintain services.

To assist with processing, BPNG extended trading of the Kina Automated Transfer Systems (KATS) beyond normal trading hours
