A Study of Parallel Proverbs in Akan (Twi) and KiswahiliDr. Ọbádélé Kambon and Dr. Josephine Dzahene-QuarshieLAG 2015 ||| TUESDAY, JULY 28, 2015 ||| 8:30AMKNUST ||| COLLEGE OF SCIENCETwiSwahili or KiswaTwili: A Study of Parallel Proverbs in Akan (Twi) and KiswahiliAbstractIn Akan and Kiswahili, there are several proverbs that express the same underlying idea, oftentimes in the exact same or similar ways. Examples of these include:1. a. Kikulacho kinguoni mwakoThat which eats you (up) is in your clothingb. Aboa bi bɛkawo a, naɛfiri wo ntoma mu If a bug will bite you, it’s from in your cloth2. a. Chakula chema hakihitaji kawaGood food needs no coverlet against the flies. b. Adepa tɔn ne ho A good thing sells itself. c. Nkyene nkamfo ne ho. Salt does not praise itself.There are several possible reasons why these parallel proverbs exist. In one line of thinking, the similarities may be due to contact phenomena such as shared cultural and/or historical experiences. Another perspective may be due to the demonstrably genetic relationship between Akan and Kiswahili languages. In this study, however, we will examine these proverbs in parallel or near-parallel and demonstrate that regardless of the facts of the two aforementioned lines of inquiry, these proverbs attest to a shared African worldview.

How much power do people with a lot of money really have? Who decides how Germany should look? These questions are the subject of the film "Land of Inequality - Power.”

Many studies show that a small but wealthy part of society defines a country’s political direction. It’s the same all over the world. German researchers evaluated hundreds of opinion polls on the topics of the economy, environment, foreign policy and finance. They then examined what poor people wanted from politics on these issues - and what the rich did. The differences were clear: "An obvious example is taxes on property,” says Armin Schäfer, a political scientist at the University of Munster. "Higher income groups are more skeptical about any reintroduction of a property tax, whereas lower income groups definitely want it. So far, we have not reintroduced a property tax in that form.” So who gets to decide what Germany looks like? To find out, our film follows building contractor Christoph Gröner, who has made millions from the construction business. Gröner wants to build an entire new district in Cologne, which is facing a severe housing shortfall and where rents are soaring and the poor in particular feel ignored. But he has faced delays in getting building permits. Cologne Mayor Henriette Reker says: "It is a city’s job to provide land and grant building permits.” But can’t it do that faster? Gröner says the politicians should take their foot off the brakes. To show how much power money really wields, we go to the places where politics and economics come together - to the district town halls and the VIP box at a Bundesliga stadium. And to Europe's largest real estate show in Cannes, where billionaire investors use their financial clout to shape cities and regions as they wish.

Ossie Davis reads excerpts from Frederick Douglass’s autobiography, edited by Dr. Philip Foner, which traces the abolitionist and statesman’s life from early childhood through to his most significant political accomplishments. This first volume establishes the personal and educational foundation on which Douglass built his distinguished career, specifically addressing his birth into slavery, his battle to learn to read and how being forced to "drink the bitterest dregs of slavery" inspired his escape.

In ‘Unreported World’ we’re in the Congo with a tribe under threat, as the forest they hunt for food in is put off limits to protect the wildlife. The Baka tribe tell us of threats and intimidation by the proposed park’s guards who are part-funded by the World Wildlife Fund.

Ade Adepitan travels deep into the rainforests to see how the Baka are fighting for food. Is the survival of endangered species being put above their own?
