The Roman Empire Invasion of Nubia (24 BC) DOCUMENTARY
The Roman Empire Invasion of Nubia (24 BC) DOCUMENTARY Kwabena Ofori Osei 47 Views • 2 years ago

A documentary on the Roman invasion of Nubia and the Kingdom of Kush (24 BC).
⁣In this history documentary we explore another one of the forgotten wars when the Roman army marched beyond the frontiers to explore parts unknown. However in order to contextualize this expedition we spend time exploring the ancient History of Egypt and the History of Nubia. We begin by looking at the geographic features of the Nile which influenced the development of the civilizations along its banks. Next we look at the intertwined development of both Egyptian and Nubian kingdoms over the eras. This covers the overlap of the Old Kingdom of Egypt, the Middle Kingdom of Egypt, and the New Kingdom of Egypt with the Kingdom of Kerma, the Kingdom of Napata, and the Kingdom of Meroe. Finally we discuss how the Roman Empire became involved in Egypt and African history. This began with Pompey and Caesar during their civil war. When Rome then chose to support the Ptolemaic rule of Cleopatra they then further became invovled. The queen would support Mark Antony in his civil war against Octavian but the eastern forces would ultimately lose at the Battle of Actium. Following this event, Octavian, now turned Augustus, would annex Egypt. Over the following decades, the emperor would embark on fresh conquests to win gold and glory. One was the Roman Invasion of Arabia and the other was the Roman invasion of Ethiopia. We covered the former in a previous video and spend the remainder of our time seeing how the conflict into Nubia would unfold. This involves a fascinating series of campaigns fought between Kandake Amanirenas and Gaius Petronius with armies of 30,000 and 10,000 respectively. Its a fascinating look into the African history that rarely gets covered.

WONGA COUP: A Plot by Mercenaries to Seize Oil Billions in Equatorial Guinea
WONGA COUP: A Plot by Mercenaries to Seize Oil Billions in Equatorial Guinea Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 39 Views • 5 years ago

On March 7, 2004, Zimbabwean authorities arrested about seventy men at the Harare International airport for illegal arms trafficking and immigration violations.

It soon came to the surface that these men in question were mercenaries that were on their way to Malabo, the capital of Equatorial Guinea to overthrow the long time leader of the country, Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo.

These mercenaries had been organised by mainly British Financiers including Mark Thatcher, the son of the former UK Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher.

The leader of this group was Simon Mann , a former partner in the defunct private military firm Executive Outcomes. As their cover story, Simon Mann claimed that they were picking up weapons for a security job at a mine in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

A day later, fifteen more men were arrested in Equatorial Guinea and they were linked to the group that had been arrested in Harare, Zimbabwe. After about two weeks, the conspirators in each country signed confessions admitting that they were headed to Equatorial Guinea to stage this infamous coup, known as the Wonga Coup. With Wonga being British slang for money.

In this Episode of African Biographics, we look at the perpetrators of the coup, as well as an account of this audacious, ,yet error-prone 2004 coup attempt against The President of Equatorial Guinea by these mercenaries.

He Sold All His Properties in America and Europe to Set up a Solar Powered Shopping Mall in Ghana!!
He Sold All His Properties in America and Europe to Set up a Solar Powered Shopping Mall in Ghana!! Sudan Ndugu 84 Views • 4 years ago

#DentaaShow #ODANAnetwork #A&Cmall

He sold all his properties in America and Europe to set up A Solar powered shopping mall in Ghana!!

In this video, we'll be talking to the founder of A Solar powered shopping mall in GHANa, He sold all his properties in America and Europe to set up this mall.

If you're interested in understanding how he sustained A&C mall for so many years, then this is the video for you. We'll be talking to He about his experience, the mall's history, and the challenges he faced along the way. This is definitely a video you don't want to miss!


A&C Development was founded by Andrew and Cecilia Asamoah, the main objective of the company is to develop first-class, ultra-modern commercial lifestyle centers in Ghana.
Over nearly two decades, A&C has earned a reputation for creativity and innovation in the building industry and is perhaps best known for its flagship project A&C Mall – the first mall in Ghana, which evolved into the first mixed-use center, with a gross leasable area of 30,000m² laid out over five acres of prime land in the heart of Accra’s largest residential mid- to a high-end community of East Legon.

He built his first house at the age of 26 and at 68, Mr. Andrew Kwabena Asamoah, Executive Chairman of A & C Development Co. Ltd, which owns the A & C Shopping Mall (now A&C Square) at East Legon in Accra, is nowhere near taking a break from getting structures off the ground.

A former World Health Organisation (WHO) director, Mr. Asamoah had to brace enormous risk and defy various advice that malls would not do well in Ghana to construct the first landmark shopping mall in the country, the A&C Shopping Mall, which today has many other facilities.

Being a monument with astronomical investment, constructing the mall was not attractive even to the financial services sector and it took the tenacity and leadership of Mr. Asamoah to get the facility off the ground.

The executive chairman, therefore, went by a prudent plan to build the facility in phases; the main mall with a car park and children’s playground; a fitness center with an Olympic-size swimming pool, and two office blocks in two phases.

Not only did the facility put the country on the world stage, but it also brought a befitting status to the country as a growing economy with a growing middle class. Today, not only has the Andrew and Cecilia (A&C) Development Co he found making inroads in the real estate and consumer shopping sub-sectors, the Capital Finance International – a reputable print journal and online resource reporting on business, economics, and finance – has awarded Mr. Asamoah with the Corporate Leadership Award for 2013.

Andy is a brick-and-mortar sort of person, who likes everything construction, and real estate, explaining his passion to build his first house at age 26, to fulfill a desire to move his parents from a rented apartment into one they could call their own.

A&C Development is a fast-growing real estate and construction company that is building properties in many parts of the capital city, its flagship being the shopping mall.

In line with his philosophy to keep improving services and facilities on the premises to “wow” patrons of the mall, the company is continuously developing structures, improving services, and transforming the place to attract customers.

A&C Development has completed the construction of phase two fitness center and swimming pool and a third phase business plaza. The final phase four, a combination of an upscale retail and office plaza, is also completed. The expansion includes an underground car park.

Already, the company’s office and residential properties at East Legon, Dzorwulu, and other parts of the city are at different stages of development.

Career
After obtaining a General Certificate of Education (G.C.E.) Ordinary Level and RSA certificate from Ghana, Mr. Asamoah qualified as a lawyer and obtained certificates in public relations, journalism, and many other disciplines from other jurisdictions.

Mr. Asamoah has had a fruitful career with the World Health Organisation (WHO), which started at the prime age of 22. His work within the WHO has taken him to the WHO Regional Office for Africa in Brazzaville, Congo, Nigeria right up to the WHO headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.

His hard work at WHO saw him rise through the ranks into various positions, including Chief of Personnel; Special Adviser to the Director-General of WHO on Constitutional Reforms and Regional Arrangements, and Director, Career Development Service/Global Security Coordinator.

He retired as the Director of Administration and Finance at the Regional WHO Office for Europe in Copenhagen, Denmark.
