⁣Hausa architecture of Northern Nigeria and Niger Republic
// Architecture haoussa du Niger et du Nord du Nigeria.


ENGLISH (French below/Français plus bas):

Hausa architecture is a distinct sub-style among the different Sudano-Sahelian architectural styles found throughout the Sahel-geographic band of Africa. It is mostly prevalent in the Hausaland region (North Western Nigeria and Southern Niger Republic) inhabited by the Hausawa people, but the previous popularity of Hausa architects brought it to Northern Niger and Cameroon. The one or two storey buildings are made with dry mud bricks. They are characterized by the extensive use of parapets, the stucco detail used for decoration on the facades, and the Hausa vault.
Different types of urban houses, royal palaces and mosques can be seen in this video,

FRANÇAIS :


L’architecture haoussa est une branche distincte de l’architecture Soudano-sahélienne du Sahel africain. On la retrouve principalement dans la région du Pays Haoussa (Nord-ouest du Nigeria et Sud de la République du Niger), habitée par le peuple Hausawa ou Haoussa, mais la popularité ancienne des architectes haoussas l’a amenée jusqu’au Nord du Niger ou du Cameroun. Les bâtiments, d’un ou deux étages, sont construits avec des briques en terre séchée. Ils sont caractérisés par l’usage récurrent de parapets, de détails en stuc pour la décoration des façades, ainsi que de la voûte haoussa. Divers exemples de maisons citadines, palais royaux et mosquées sont présentés dans cette vidéo.

Why President Captain Ibrahim Traoré Just Banned 118 NGOs in Burkina Faso | The TRUTH Explained
Why President Captain Ibrahim Traoré Just Banned 118 NGOs in Burkina Faso | The TRUTH Explained Kwabena Ofori Osei 49 Views • 6 months ago

In a move that has shocked the international community but rallied supporters of African sovereignty, Ibrahim Traoré’s government in Burkina Faso has officially dissolved 118 NGOs and civil society groups. Is this a necessary step for national security, or a crackdown on dissent? Today, we dive deep into the "Western Version" vs. the "Burkina Faso Reality."
[What’s Happening?]
On April 15, 2026, the Burkinabé Ministry of Territorial Administration announced a massive sweep, revoking the licenses of over 100 organizations. While Western headlines call it a threat to democracy, the government in Ouagadougou points to a 2025 law aimed at protecting national sovereignty and ending foreign interference during a time of war.
[Key Topics Covered:]
• The Dissolution: Why 118 groups were targeted and what the July 2025 law actually says.
• Sovereignty vs. Security: Understanding Traoré’s stance that "Western democracy is a stick used against Africans."
• The NGO Paradox: How foreign-funded groups are being scrutinized for "administrative errors" and "data security" concerns.
• The Frontline Reality: Why the junta believes "total freedom" is a luxury during an existential fight against terrorism.
Pinned Comment
"Is Traoré right to prioritize national security over Western-style civic freedom, or is this going too far? Let’s discuss in the comments—keep it respectful! 👇🌍

The hidden meaning behind modern Akan funeral rites in Ghana.

Funeral rites forms an integral part with the culture of the Akan people in Ghana. Like myself, if you grew up within the Ashanti region of Ghana, chances are your parents regularly went away on funeral runs during the weekend, leaving you with numerous household chores that had to be completed by their return.

Though I spent most of my childhood wondering why I had to lose my beloved mother on weekends to funerals, I've come to realize that there are very good important reasons for these funeral rites. So in this video, I share with you some of the hidden meaning behind modern Akan funeral rites in Ghana. I say modern as most of the old traditions has been excluded or modified due to several reasons. My name is Mickey....Keep Watching!!!

Every country has a story; so does its people. I get to travel and visit different parts of the world due to the nature of my work, so I take viewers with me in the form of vlogs to explore and tell beautiful stories of the people and the places that I am working.

I am dedicated to provide deep, meaningful and entertaining contents for you, my viewers....

Steve Cokely Exposed
Steve Cokely Exposed Kwadwo Danmeara Tòkunbọ̀ Datɛ 1,728 Views • 7 years ago

Steve Cokely (June 17, 1952 - April 11, 2012) was an American political researcher and lecturer who lectured nationally on political and economic issues relating especially to the African American community.

Steve Cokely was also a futurologist who commented extensively on water conservation, organic farming, and communal living. Cokely gave over 5,000 lectures on the topic of global warming and corporate conspiracies, the Trilateral Commission, The Bilderberg Group, Rothchilds, Rockefellers, Boule, etc.

Cokely's research delved into the history of Marcus Garvey, the Black Panthers and other areas of African-American history.

Cokely lectured at many college campuses nationally and was also known for his conspiracy theories involving the Black Male elite organization known as the Sigma Pi Phi and the Assassination of Martin Luther King Jr by the hands of Rev.Jesse Jackson and the C.I.A.

Cokely was assistant to the special committee on rules under Mayor Harold Washington. He gained notoriety when he served as special assistant to the former mayor of Chicago, Eugene Sawyer.

Cokely was criticized for teaching that Jewish doctors were using the AIDS virus in an attempted genocide against Africans. His comments created a nationally publicized controversy in 1988 and he was dismissed from his position as aide to Sawyer.

When in 1990 Illinois Governor James Thompson signed an agreement to open an Israeli Aircraft Industries plant in Rockford, Cokely was an outspoken opponent. He argued that Black leaders in Illinois should oppose Israeli war industries because of their military support for the Apartheid system in South Africa.

Cokely gained the national spotlight again in 1996 after he was scheduled to speak at "Our Roots Run Deep", a Black History Month lecture series in New York City hosted by the Warner Music Group. Also scheduled were Al Sharpton, Conrad Muhammad, Jimmy Castor, Hannibal Lokumbe and Dick Gregory. The Jewish Defense Organization objected, organizing a call-in campaign to Warner Brothers and threatening a boycott. The Anti-Defamation League and the New York Post also objected to Cokely (as well as Sharpton and Muhammad) speaking at the event. Warner removed Cokely and Muhammad without issuing a press release.

📚 Amy Jaques Garvey, 1896-1973: Black Revolutionary Mothering

Abstract: Interpreting letters written by Amy Jacques Garvey in the 1950s, I discuss her parenting of Marcus Garvey Jnr, an
engineer and scientist, and Dr. Julius Garvey, surgeon, and how she singlehandedly guided their Pan-Africanism. I also discuss the role she played in shaping Marcus Garvey’s legacies in the early stages of African and Caribbean decolonization and extract lessons for Pan-African struggles today.

Whether you're a student, researcher, cultural practitioner, or simply curious about Jamaica’s heritage, this session will deepen your understanding of the African elements that continue to enrich our culture.
