***IMPORTANT MESSAGE***
From Holip & Dawud:
Let us make this perfectly clear...
The BAIO is NOT on Ning and the BAIO does NOT illicit funds from the general public. So, if you are receiving emails from the Ning site (which REAL BAIO members have already left) asking you to contribute financially to the BAIO your contribution is going directly into the pockets of Dwayne Makala aka KalaGenesis. That Ning site is paid for and maintained by KalaGenesis and NOT by the original admins of the BAIO. The BAIO has a bank account and a Paypal associated with it paid for by Admins who contribute to it on a monthly basis. That bank account and the associated Paypal account are attached to:
Period. Point Blank. End of story.
KalaGenesis has decided to go rogue and basically attempt to splinter the BAIO into two separate groups by keeping that defunct Ning site still operating and attempting to fool people into thinking it is the BAIO.
So, if you are still signed up to the Ning site and you are unaware of what is going on, now you know and you can leave that site and sign up at the official site of the BAIO at:

* Establish a nation state on the continent of Afrika as a base of operations and a land to call home for descendants of the Trans-Atlantic Slave trade.
