Lyric transcript (partial):
Thomas Edison made the light bulb, cool.
But Lewis Lattimer made that light improve!
If you ever feel you can’t shine in class,
Look up at the light, Black made that!
Cars use a spark plug to start
You need an X-Ray to see broken arms
How you think food travels across those states?
Fridges in trucks keep all that safe.
You use a sharpener when your pencil breaks.
You keep your valuables in a fire safe.
With a super soaker you can be a water gun shooter
1gig processer chip in my computer
Every time you X Box or PS4,
Know Jerry Lawson made the first console
When you go see a 3D movie
Say Hannah and Dunkley brought this to me
That’s spark plug, x ray. Mobile fridge
Pencil sharpener, processor 1 gig
Fire safe, super soaker, 3D glasses
3D movie, first console that’s it
Empire’s on Who’s watching it , Mamma
Ghost or Tommy either way its drama
When Liv’s lips quiver Fitz is a gonner
How I know all of this? Its cuz Shonda (2)
Black made that! All that! X3
Black Made That! All that! All That!
Washington DC is nice,
And the President’s House is white
Every time you look at that
Know those who build it were Black. Facts
Its black made. This, this, this black made
When you look in the mirror, smile ‘cus its true
You’re astonishing, and Black made you!
Black Made That. Geometry!
Black Made That. Astronomy!
Black Made That. Philosophy!
Black Made That. Hold up Wait.
Griot B, Philosophy? Greeks made that!
No Philosophy’s from Egypt, we made that!
Art, medicine, and even math
All started in Africa, we take that.
We invented many things but our patent was taken.s
Or bought for a fraction of what it would be making.
Our culture can be seen in most things in this nation.
Let me teach you about app-ropriation.
Seen on us it’s ugly, and on others it is praised
Like: “Corn Rolls are thuggish, but I love those Boxer Braids”
They’re the same thing just a different skin and different name
It’s taken straight from us, and the thief gets the fame.
Rock and roll music to most is great.
But Chuck Berry taught Elvis how to shake!
Use our dance moves and all our slang.
Just know we influenced in ALL THESE WAYS!
Black made that! All that! X3
Black Made That! All that! All That!
Where my Patent At? Black Made That! X3
Where my patent at! You know Black Made That!

Iyanu, Biyi and Sewa face the corrupt divine beast Ekun and the vicious
people of the deep; in Elu, workers' district citizens demand justice
from Oba Adeyinka and chancellor Nuro's oppressive regime.
This is what happens when Western philanthropists try to ‘fix’ hunger in developing countries. Neelam Tailor investigates how philanthropic efforts by the Gates Foundation, The Rockefeller Foundation, and the organisation they set up in Africa called AGRA, set out to revolutionise farming in Africa, but may have made things worse for the small-scale farmers who produce 70% of the continent’s food.From seed laws that criminalise traditional practices, to corporate partnerships with agribusiness giants like Monsanto and Syngenta, we explore how a well-funded Green Revolution has led to rising debt, loss of biodiversity, and deepening food insecurity across the continent.📌 Chapters:00:00 Intro00:55 Africa’s traditional farming systems01:47 When the philanthropists got involved03:39 This isn’t new: the previous Green Revolution05:22 Corporate control over seeds06:58 Farmers are fighting backAbout:It's Complicated is a new channel from @theGuardian bringing you weekly videos about the hows and why behind the stories that matter.The Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/) has been providing high-impact, independent journalism since 1821, always free from commercial and political influence.

Rediscover the forest through the fresh viewpoint of a Papuan chief born in Papua New Guinea: Mundiya Kepanga, the "child of the forest". This traditional storyteller unveils the extent of the deforestation that has drastically accelerated in his country in recent years.
Following his journey as an environmental defender, from his own village to the largest international symposiums, the film delivers a new way to look at the planet: our forests are a universal heritage that we have to save.
Committed to this cause, Mundiya Kepanga becomes an ambassador of the forest and the voice of indigenous people. A call to protect the world’s primal forests, reminding us that we are all the brothers of the trees.

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.
