🔜 L'African Football League va devenir la compétition majeure des clubs en Afrique ! ⚽

Selon nos informations, la #Confederation_of_African_Football (CAF) serait sur le point de valider des réformes concernant les compétitions inter-clubs en Afrique, et ce, avec effet immédiat dès la saison prochaine 2024-2025.
👉 L'AFL passerait de 8 clubs (lors de la première édition) à 24 clubs répartis comme suit: 8 clubs d'Afrique du nord, 8 clubs d'Afrique de l'ouest et du centre (dont l'ASEC Mimosas 🇨🇮, premier club ouest-africain) et 8 clubs d'Afrique de l'est et australe, choisis sur la base du classement CAF de clubs.
👉 L' #AFL se positionnerait donc comme la compétition n°1 de clubs en Afrique, reléguant d'office de la TotalEnergies CAF Champions League au second rang des compétitions de clubs en Afrique.
👉 La TotalEnergies Confederation Cup (coupe de la Confédération), jusque-là deuxième compétition de clubs en Afrique, disparaîtra purement et simplement.
👉 Les clubs disputant l'AFL ne disputeront naturellement pas la Ligue des Champions.
Réformes qui devraient être entérinées dans les prochains jours voir les prochaines heures.

Take the appointment with the West and Central Africa Investment Summit first edition from May 23 to 24, 2024 at the Krystal Palace Hotel under the theme : « Environmental, Social and Governance investments in Sub-saharan Africa ».

An event focused on private financing, bringing together companies/ projects from Central and West Africa and foreign investors wishing to penetrate the Sub-saharan African markets.

"We Must Go to West Africa(🇳🇬🇬🇭l🇱🇷🇸🇱🇬🇲...) Akumba Music will punch harder into that market" - Achu Normad.

The founder & CEO of Akumba Music, Achu Normad encourages investors in the entertainment industry to target the west African entertainment industry.

He writes 👇
"We Must Go to West Africa!!! Watch my ***** e for the next 6-12 months, Akumba Music will punched harder into that market in an attempt to connect our English Community to it. We must go west!!!

For years, our artist went towards French Africa but it has proven not to be sustainable. This is because the entertainment culture is NOT our culture and we don’t even speak the language. We have had to adapt and ended up losing creativity in the process.

Also, Central Africa doesn’t have the financial infrastructure to support modern day commerce hence the discouraging return on investments. There’s some kind of a blood sucking grip on the banking and financial systems in Francophone Africa, not permitting it to grow and innovate.

Wuna want stream music na with Momo or OM ?
While kids like Asake, Ruger and Buju are making billions of Naira in streams, Leo is here trying to sell his album with Momo 😭
How will he get a ROI when he can’t even perform transactions. He’s handicapped even before the race begins.

On the other hand, The Nigerian market has the infrastructure to sell digital content. The highly innovative banking system in Nigeria is really robust and makes digital transactions very suitable, highly preferred, leaving EVERYONE being required to get a bank account and debit card.

This means everyone can subscribe and stream content digitally. Imagine a giant market with a potential of 50 million Spotify users, this means every upcoming artist hits the ground running with 100k monthly listeners. This is the real power of the Nigerian entertainment industry apart from its obvious high population.

To top it all, we can completely relate with Nigeria. Our region was once Nigeria for almost 50 years. We are Geographically close, speak the same official language and share cultural values. Content from West Africa has programmed us for decades.

We grew up listening to P Square, Style plus, 2 face, Timaya, Flavor, Banki W, Bracket etc. These songs programmed us and defined our urban music sound.

That’s why our community only listens to Afrobeats and we can breed pure afrobeats prodigies like Elisha k and Raizy. Also, Our movie industry is programmed by Nollywood, that is why the death of a Nollywood actor will completely hijack our Facebook feeds for days.

Equally, praise and worship in Our Churches has been completely programmed by Nigerian Gospel. Infact delete Naija Gospel from our churches and church service may not hold that Sunday.

My Point is, our community is culturally linked to West Africa and it’s even better because that’s the market that’s driving global showbiz. So, we must complete migrate to that Market.

When Salas and Leo started with that dream team from Buea, if they had gone towards west Africa instead of coming to Douala, I think we should have had better returns from them.

Today, Krys M gets 40 million views on a song on YouTube but over 75% of those views generate her Zero income because they are from Non-monetized Central Africa.

She gets 40million on a song but can’t even get 50k monthly listeners on Spotify, because she resides in a region which doesn’t even have a payment processing system to permit her fans to get a Spotify account and make her rich. It’s Quite unfortunate but that’s the reality in Francophone Africa.

We MUST GO To WEST AFRICA" - Achu Normad.

Calabash CEO Wax Dey speaks out regarding the issue between #Gasha and Eddy Kenzo and some possibilities that Gasha can get her royalties.

He wrote, “Many people don’t realize that music is an intellectual estate just as land is real estate, and in many instances, intellectual estate can be far more profitable than real estate in the short and long term. But just like real estate, it needs to be handled formally like a business. You can’t sell or buy land with a verbal agreement.

I feel really sad that our sister has had to go through what she has gone through. Please stop tagging me. She knows how to get to me if she wanted to.

Let me explain a couple of things for the benefit of all artists. A recorded song has 2 components - the Master and the Publishing. The Master is the actual recording which is being sold and the publishing is the composition (lyrics, melody, arrangements)

I have read both sides of the story and this is what I have to say:

1. Whoever paid for the recording owns the Master, that is the right to sell the song. This is tricky because if Gasha paid for the recording then it belongs to her, but if Eddy Kenzo did, then it belongs to him, even if she is the artist. If Gasha released the song in 2015 and by mutual agreement, Eddy Kenzo release it on his own platforms a year later, it implies that they might have agreed to share the Master rights (in that order). Usually, you’d expect either party to get a cut of each other’s sales, but in the absence of a written agreement (split sheet), this becomes complex and difficult to resolve. To be fair, I’d say that #Eddykenzo had to pay sales royalties to Gasha from the sales of his album (which were substantially more than Gasha sold) and vice versa. So yea, I believe Eddy a Kenzo owes Gasha some money, even in the absence of a written Agreement. The complication now arises from how to enforce it without a written agreement or in this case, his word against her word.

2.publishing is composition money you get paid when your song is streamed on Tv, radio, public venues, streaming sites or even cellphones. If someone else remixes the song, you still own their publishing. Publishing wise, they both wrote their verses. They both should share the royalties. A share should also go to who arranged the song, and the lion’s share should probably be reserved for who wrote the hook + their verse. Again, there is no split sheet, so these are issues that need to be addressed by both teams and agreed on on paper. Somewhere around 2015, I did sign a publishing deal with Gasha which was applicable retrospectively (meaning that Calabash could go in search of her publishing money and enforce the receipt thereof), but in 2016, she requested to rescind the contract, and I did not object. But it is her right and she should protect it ASAP. In Zangalewa’s case, they were not even aware, so I took it upon myself to find them and sign a publishing deal which permitted us to work on it.

Also remember this: for every sale or digital sale, even for Callertunes, you still earn a publishing royalty. So she needs to go down the rabbit hole and look for all those earnings, and while fighting, make sure that they are protected now. The song has a long lifespan. Some of those incomes should have been controlled by Gasha even if Eddy Kenzo released on his channel. Unless they had an agreement that he would claim her rights and he did. Even so, he would have to pay her her cut.

These issues are complex and it’s best to work with a lawyer or someone with knowledge when doing collaborations. You cant blame Artists for the situations - I doubt even Eddy Kenzo understood what he was doing at the time. I even have a case with a big company such as MTN now where they do not understand what is use of a split sheet on music they paid for.

And as I said, both artist teams need to establish or enforce a written agreement now because the song is still active and earning revenue. Online hype is good, but it doesn’t get money in the bank.

NAISSANCE DU PANAFRICANISME

Edward-Wilmot-Blyden, 1832–1912 père du panafricanisme, était un éducateur, écrivain, diplomate et homme d'État libérien. À la fin du 19e siècle, Blyden était l'intellectuel africain le plus connu et le plus respecté du monde occidental. Il est à l’origine de l’expression «L'Afrique pour les Africains».

En 2021, Emy Dany Bassong ne parvenait pas à trouver le sommeil à cause de son projet de création de ses restaurants qui la tenait tellement à coeur🤌 au point où, elle s'est lancée en faisant avancer les travaux🚧 en fonction de ses moyens 💵

Aujourd'hui, elle célèbre les 3ans de ces deux précieux restaurants AFRICAN FOOD 🍜 et AFRICAN GRILL🍢🍹 qui sont devenus des restaurants de référence au Cameroun ✨

Petit à petit, elle a fait son nid, et à présent, elle récolte les fruits de plusieurs années de sacrifices💫 C'EST BEAU ÇA !

#DidYouKnow Winston Elliot Scott wrote a book about his experience as an astronaut?

Scott was born on August 6, 1950, in Miami, Florida. Though schools desegregated after the Brown v. Board case in 1954, as Scott entered school, they were still segregated in Miami. In 1965, as Scott entered the tenth grade, he was transferred to Coral Gables Senior High School, his first integrated education. In 1968, he graduated and attended Florida State University.

In 1972, #WinstonScott graduated with a degree in music and entered Navy Officer Candidate School in Newport, Rhode Island. In August 1974, he graduated and served at the Naval Air Station in North Island, California. In 1978, Scott attended the Naval Postgraduate School at Monterey, California and earned a master’s degree in Aeronautical Engineering two years later. In 1992, Scott applied to be an astronaut as he accumulated over 5,000 hours of flight time in twenty different military and civilian aircrafts.

In August 1992, #WinstonElliotScott was selected by NASA as an astronaut and reported to Johnson ****** e Center in Houston, Texas. On January 11, 1996, he served as a mission specialist and conducted two ****** e walks. During these ****** e walks he tested tools, techniques, and procedures were later utilized to build the International ****** e Station.

In 1999, Scott retired from both NASA and the Navy, where he attained the rank of Captain. He became the Vice President for Student Affairs and Associate Dean of Florida State University, College of Engineering. In 2006, Scott published “Reflections From Earth Orbit,” a semiautobiographical book that describes his experiences as a NASA astronaut. He shares his journey to go beyond the bonds of earth into outer ****** e to inspire others.

Join us daily until April 8, to learn about the members of the #Afronauts (the affinity group of African American astronauts) who also served in the military and some safety tips to enjoy the upcoming eclipse.

In 1978, Jill E. Brown-Hiltz was hired as a pilot for Texas International Airlines, making her the first African American woman pilot at a major airline. But it didn't always look like her dreams would come true.
Growing up in Baltimore, Maryland, she always wanted to fly more than anything else but she ended up graduating with a degree in Home Economics and began teaching.
In 1974, however, Brown enlisted in the U.S. Navy, where she was admitted into the Navy's flight training program. She was the first African American woman in the program but felt that the Navy wasn’t for her. After six months, she was honorably discharged.
Her next job was at Wheeler Airlines, where she worked her way up from a ticket counter clerk to pilot, logging enough hours as a pilot to quality for a job at a major airline.
Texas International Airlines (TIA) later hired Brown as a pilot when she was just 28-years old, and she made history. However, because she believed that she was only hired because of her race, she decided to only stay with the airline for a year.
It’s estimated that African American women only make up about 0.01% of all commercial pilots in the country. Brown was definitely a pioneer in a field that is still dominated by white men. Because of her early accomplishments, Brown continues to inspire many other Black and minority women who aspire to be pilots as well.
But her success has not always been easy. For example, in 1990, Brown sued United Airlines for discrimination because she applied three times and was never hired. The lawsuit was unsuccessful, but it opened the doors for her to advocate for others who are victims of discrimination in the airline industry.

Cornelius R. Coffey was an African-American inventor and engineer. He was born on August 5, 1913, in Tullahassee, Oklahoma, and passed away on December 26, 1994. #Coffey is best known for his contributions to the field of aviation. In the 1930s, he became one of the first African-American aircraft mechanics in the United States. He worked as a mechanic and flight instructor, breaking racial barriers in the aviation industry at a time when segregation was prevalent.

Coffey’s most significant invention was the “Coffeyville Glide,” an aviation instrument that helped pilots make more accurate landings. The device, patented in 1958, provided pilots with important information about the aircraft’s position and descent rate during landing, improving safety and precision. His invention was particularly valuable for pilots operating in poor weather conditions or unfamiliar landing fields.

Aside from his inventions, Coffey was involved in promoting aviation education and opportunities for African Americans. He co-founded the Coffey School of Aeronautics in Chicago in the 1940s. The school provided aviation training to African-American students who faced discrimination in other institutions. Coffey also played a role in training Tuskegee Airmen, the first African-American military aviators in the United States.

#Cornelius R. Coffey’s contributions to aviation and his efforts to break down racial barriers have had a lasting impact. His inventions and dedication to promoting aviation opportunities for African Americans paved the way for future generations of minority pilots and engineers.

#Twitbook24 - the récap of information

Fredia "The Cheetah" Gibbs (born July 8, 1963), is an American former professional martial artist, kickboxer, and boxer who competed from 1975 to 2005. During her kickboxing career, she held ISKA, WKA, and WKF World ******* les. Before her kickboxing career, she was an All-American in basketball and track.

She is also a model and actress. Fredia has been featured on the Fresh Prince of Bel Aire with Will Smith. She was one of the women who was throwing Will Smith around in his nightmare. Her latest film is called Knockout."

Gibbs made history when she became the first African-American female Kickboxing ISKA World Champion. She earned the name "The Most Dangerous Woman in the World" after an upset in 1994 in her fight against World Champion Valérie Wiet-Henin of France in the "Battle of the Masters" Pay Per View Event in San Jose, California. She went on to become one of the most dominant champions of all time, and remains a significant historical figure in light and super lightweight kickboxing divisions. She competed from 1991 to 1997, amassing a record of 16 wins, 0 losses, and 15 KOs, and three world ******* les. She also competed as a top contender in women's professional boxing from 1997 to 2005 with a record of 9 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw.

She wrote The Fredia Gibbs Story about her life in 2016

“Being bullied is such a terrifying experience, especially for a child,” Fredia said. “[We] are just trying to learn our identity and learn who we are; to be threatened and quartered by kids who are supposed to be your classmates, whom you help with homework, it was uncomfortable, ugly and very negative.”

As she ran home to escape her bullys, her uncle Dr. William Groce, met her at the door this last time. “Look, baby girl, you can’t continue to run all of your life. You’re going to have to learn how to stand firm and face your fear(s),” he advised.

Gibbs began her instruction in Jeet Kune Do/Aikido fight style at Quiet Storm Martial Arts School in Chester, Pennsylvania. She learned martial arts to rebuild her self confidence and self esteem, which suffered as a result of being bullied. She was trained with her Uncle Will and by a group of lethal martial artists, lawyers, judges, doctors, business leaders, and blue collar workers. Earning her black belt was the unorthodox result of throwing powerful jab combinations and mastering tactical takedowns to obtain the glittering key on the ground behind Groce, the only way out of The Storm.

“It was tough. It was difficult but, I got the key. I unlocked the door and walked out.”

KIDNAPPED

In 1993, Gibbs martial arts training saved her life. She had lost her paycheck and bus fare in a game of Dominoes at a gathering in Inglewood, Calif. Strapped for cash, stranded and wanting to sleep in her bed instead of the couch she was offered, Gibbs accepted a ride from Lonnie Franklin Jr. after spending hours playing against him. She had no way of knowing her Domino opponent was California’s infamous Grim Sleeper, the serial killer responsible for murdering at least 100 Black women in South Central, displacing their bodies throughout Los Angeles circa 1985.

Now with him in his RV, something sinister in his sudden need for coffee awakened her intuition as he pulled into a secluded area. She refused to let him "violate" her. She tried to exit the passenger’s side door. The handle had been removed. When she scrambled for the van’s rear doors, she came face-to-face with a monster intent on violating, then adding her to his list of lifeless victims.

“He came charging at me like a football player...” She explained the aikido technique that uses an assailant’s clothing against them. “I tied his shirt over his head, pulled his pants down and grabbed his... so he couldn’t move,” demanding that he tell her where his keys were.

With her second key to freedom in hand, she told Grim, “When a "b" says, ‘No,’ she means, ‘No.'”

Gibbs was terrified and called her mom. She moved away from the Los Angeles area immediately.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In 1994, Gibbs’ meteoric brawling record warranted an invitation to compete in a pay-per-view International Sport and Karate Association (ISKA) match-up against Valerie Wiet-Henin, dubbed “The Most Dangerous Woman in the World.”

Wiet-Henin was a formidable opponent renowned for breaking jaws and bruising ribs, a million-dollar baby who did not scare Gibbs.

In the third round, Gibbs said, “My legs began to get weak.” Looking to The Hill from whence her help was to come, she cried out, “Oh God! You gotta help.”

Stitched-up, torn and tattered, she delivered a lethal kick followed by an overhand right to the back of Wiet-Henin’s head, knocking her out.

In addition to becoming “The Most Dangerous Woman,” Gibbs also became the only martial artist except Bruce Lee to have a combat statue dedicated in her honor.

Gibbs has been featured in Black Achievers, Black Belt, Delco Times, Inside Karate, Jet, Los Angeles Sentinel, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Sports Illustrated for Women, and Upscale Magazine.

Her fight gear is displayed at the Sports Legend of Delaware County Museum, dedicated to preserving the history and memory of Delaware County Sports Legends. She is an author, celebrity trainer, philanthropist, motivational speaker, and radio host. In 2016–2017 she was honored and participated in the Orange County Heritage Black History Parade and was nominated to attend the United State of Women summit hosted by the White House.

In 2016 #Gibbs was named one of the Top Ten Greatest African American Female Athletes of All time for Kickboxing.

In 2022, Cabrini University honored alumna Fredia Gibbs (ʼ19) during a statue dedication ceremony.

"EDDY KENZO IS A BUSINESS SHARK, SITTING ON MY MILLIONS"~GASHA.

In 2015, Gasha from Cameroon invited Upandan, singer, Eddy kenzo for a collaboration. She paid for everything, flew the artist from East Africa to Cameroon for his voice and video shoot. The ***** le of the song is #chill , a hit song which later on became a classic. Gasha said she paid $2000 dollars for this collaboration and owned the song 100%.

Gasha trusted Eddy Kenzo and team to do the distribution and bring back the royalties garnered from this huge project. The song amassed huge numbers on several streaming platforms. The song is currently on more than 5 million YouTube views. A rough calculation as per the streams only on YouTube stands at $8,393, which is approximately 5M FCFA. This is just for YouTube alone and there are other platforms where the song was distributed.

Gasha thought the Pan-Africanism and musical chemistry they shared at the time will make Eddy Kenzo respect their agreement. Surprisingly, Eddy Kenzo is sitting on all the income generated from the chill song.

It's been almost 10 years and Gasha is still to receive a dime from him. Gasha has run out of patience after the efforts made by her were snubbed. 🥺

"That's awesome! If he can pay me even some of the money they made off my hit song #chill , it will be even better. They stole my rights and have kept quiet till date. attempted to fix it, they pretended they wanted to fix it, and went mute. Sometimes people do great things to be admired by others, but they break serious principles in real life which cripples others. He is feeding Orphans, beautiful but sometimes can't feed the ones love, and he's sitting on my millions. God will judge this matter."~~~Gasha made this comment under a post they made praising the Ugandan Singer's charity efforts. It didn't end there as she also made several revelations in an interview via Dash Media TV.

"Eddy Kenzo Stole My money. He made over $400K( 243.4M FCFA) from one platform. At one time it was his best selling project. He put his name as the main Artist of our song Chill and removed my name. I paid $2,000 for the collaboration, people think it was free. I paid for the rights to his voice and i had 100% ownership. He came to our house and we shot the video, i was not putting business in front because i could not imagine that he was a business shark and he had ulterior motives"

This means Eddy Kenzo owes Gasha hundreds of millions in Francs CFA. What a "vulturistic" move from the Ugandan artist.
