🚨 Asia’s richest individual Mukesh Ambani’s Jio Platforms 🇮🇳 is expanding into Africa, with Ghana 🇬🇭 emerging as a key test market for its 4G and 5G solutions. The rollout is tied to a shared telecom infrastructure initiative supporting next-generation connectivity.

Who’s funding this season? 3 shows. About $5,000 in expenses. I believe Nigerian bodybuilding deserves a bigger stage, but I can’t bring mainstream attention to it by myself. If you know a brand looking to support an athlete and a story worth telling, let’s talk.

Akosombo: The Community the Dam(n!) Floods Built. 1. For the 87 consecutive years of our being a formal colony, we had no significant source of electric power. 2. Only four years into self-rule, a few wise men thought that a hydroelectric dam could hasten Ghana’s economic development by powering its future industries. And what’s more? Domestic life could become even more enjoyable. 3. But to make it happen, the lives and livelihoods of over 740 communities along the Volta River Basin had to be put on the line. These communities ranged from fisherfolk and petty farmers to cash-crop farmers across multiple ethnic groups: Akwamu, Gonja, Konkomba, Krachi, Kwawu, and Tongu Ewe. 4. During the construction of the Akosombo Dam (1961–1965), these communities were displaced by the flooding of the Volta River Basin that followed the project. 5. While most residents were reluctant to abandon their homes and sources of income for unfamiliar areas, the state, through the Volta River Authority, made an initial allocation of £3.8 million to build resettlement communities for those displaced. By 1968, a total of £13 million had been spent. 6. With that arrangement in place, both the dam construction and the resettlement exercise proceeded largely in parallel. 7. To ensure the completion of the dam, which remains, arguably, the single most important infrastructure project since Ghana’s independence, the Presidential House at Akosombo was built so that Nkrumah could personally oversee the project to its early completion. 8. Eternal repose to Osagyefo’s soul. Given that his opponents ridiculed the project, what might have happened if Akosombo had remained incomplete before his overthrow in 1966? 9. And as a scenic accident, the flooding of the Volta River Basin created Lake Volta, the world's largest man-made lake by surface area. 10. As several flood-prone towns in Accra continue to be submerged by perennial rains, could state-led resettlement appreciably resolve the crisis? pic.1(L): flooded community during dam construction pic.2(top-R): a planned resettlement community pic.3(bottom-R): presidential house overseeing dam construction 🎥: UCLA Library

1. victory day. tomorrow, in 1945. 2. our forebears will gather in accra to celebrate the victory of britain & the allied nations in the second world war, on whose side they fought. 3. little did they know that three years later, they would mourn the loss of their kinfolk; veteran soldiers who were shot dead by their supposed british allies*. 4. their only crime? they demanded that the wages promised them for fighting in the war were long overdue and should be paid without delay. #8thmay1945

1. professor chouin, i don't mind you being a portuguese apologist. 2. but i would rather be struck dead than give audience to this falsehood. 3. why don't you disclose exactly what you mean by "elsewhere in africa"? 4. the portuguese built são jorge da mina, now elmina castle, around 1482. they would go on & buy slaves sold to them by african headmen who raided communities, harboured those slaves in the dungeons of and exported the survivors out of the gold coast. 5. now, in 1486, about three centuries before your ill-intended 17th-century claim, the portuguese exported slaves from elmina (in today's ghana), as well as the kongo kingdom, to a supposed vacant island in what is now são tomé, to work on sugar plantations without pay. later, some were moved to brazil. 6. ["caboceer," came into english c. 1753 from the portuguese ‘cabeceiro’, meaning ‘headman’ as a job title for the head/chief of the african slave raiders. but the job preceded the advent of the englishmen into gold coast, which once again disproves your 17th century claim.] 7. so, what are you on about? 8. well... when a frenchman becomes a professor of african history this is what we get: evasion of events & deliberate distortion of timelines!
