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.

Have you been wondering what African Union officials have to say about George Floyd and the continued anti-Black genocide in the u.s. and, indeed, globally? Honorable Nii Kwesi Quartey, Deputy Chair of the African Union Commission, recently reached out to Okunini Ọbádélé Kambon about hosting a talk and interaction about the historical context of enslavement and the present realities of what we continue to face as a people. This is our collective opportunity to hear what a high-ranking African Union Commission official has to say about our global situation. It is also our chance to have our voice heard during the live interaction. Honorable Nii Kwesi Quartey will put the continued anti-Black genocide into perspective and ask the long-awaited question "What can the African Union and, indeed, the African Union Commission, do to help our brothers and sisters?"

The only complete, high quality video of iron smelting in Africa. Making charcoal, digging ore and flux, building the kiln, firing the kiln, sacrifices, smelting the iron, forging the iron into tools. With Chinese subtitles. A CULTURAL RECREATION !!
