🌟 Talent is Everywhere, But Opportunities Are Not 🌍
At just 16 years old, Lamine Yamal is amazing people worldwide with his skills!
⚽🎉 the youngest scorer in Euro's history, has both parents from Africa. His mother is from Equatorial Guinea 🇬🇶 and his father is from #morocco . He was eligible to represent both countries, he wears all three flags on his boots. But many kids his age in #africa don’t get the same chance to show what they can do. 😔
In Africa, there aren’t as many chances for kids to grow their talents. There aren’t enough good schools, sports programs, or places where they can learn and practice. Because of this, many talented kids don’t get noticed, and their dreams are put on hold. By the time they get some chances, they’re already much older. ⌛
This shows a sad reality: where you’re born can affect your future. Even though talent is everywhere, opportunities are not. For every #LamineYamal , there are many other talented kids whose abilities stay hidden because they don’t have the right opportunities. 😢
We must change this by creating more chances for young people everywhere to show and develop their skills. This means investing in better education, sports, arts, and other activities. 🎓🏅🎨 By doing this, we can ensure that talented kids everywhere get a chance to shine, no matter where they live. 🌟✨
Do you think if he were in Africa, he would have had the same chances? Look at all the talented players that had to leave Africa before making it...

🇨🇲😤🙏🏾MBAMI MODESTE Olympic Games tribute:
On September 23rd 2000, over 37300 spectators crammed into the Cricket Ground to watch Cameroon with Brazil for a ticket to the semis of Men's Football at the Sydney Olympic Games.
The fine weather and flawless turf in Brisbane made for a pristine condition, while back home in Cameroon time stood still and the streets were filled with a hubbub of noise for it was a day like no other.
Twenty-five minutes in, M'boma cast the first ray of light across the land with a beautiful freekick that got the better of Helton from 25 metres out. The Lions then had two players sent off, and with 9 men, they seemed to be on a sinking ship with no lifeboat; then in the 94th minute, a certain Ronaldinho 'gaucho' in the Brazilian ranks gave Kameni a gusto of his Samba sauce with a majestic free-kick goal to level scores, and drag the game into extra time.
Those were the days of the sudden death or golden goal. The Indomitable Lions were stretched repeatedly. However, instead of condensing, they became diamonds. Among them, an 18-year-old would flicker and produce the glow in the Brisbane night, slamming home a staggering shot from 18 metres out to seal a 2-1 win for Cameroon . That 18-year-old was Mbami Modeste.
He whipped his shirt off, spinning it in circles above his head, while darting across the pitch in jollification. Cameroon had beaten the favourites and was in the semis.
That teenager with the golden braids, that goal, that celebration, that evening in Brisbane have today gelled to forever be a star peeking through the clouds and winking at us in glory.
Mbami Modeste will always be talked about in Cameroon football history.
Rest in Heaven, crack!

History on the International Reggae Day 💚💛❤️
Andrea Davis of Jamaica Arts Holdings founded International Reggae Day. Her 1991 visit to Kingston inspired her to start the annual event. During Davis’ visit, she heard a speech made by the South African leader, Winnie Mandela. He discussed the impact reggae music had as people in South Africa fought for equal rights during Apartheid. The first International Reggae Day was held on July 1st, 1994.
July 1 celebrates International Reggae Day on the National Day Calendar. This National Day celebrates reggae culture and its influence on Jamaican music.
Reggae developed in the 1960s and evolved into a popular style of music. With its roots in Jamaica, Reggae music is an integral part of the Jamaican culture. It is a mix of rhythm & blues, calypso, African, and Latin American music.
July 1 celebrates International Reggae Day on the National Day Calendar. This National Day celebrates reggae culture and its influence on Jamaican music.
A heavy four-beat rhythm characterizes reggae music. These beats are carried out by drums, congas, bass guitars, and electric guitars. Another popular instrument in reggae music is the scraper. A scraper is a corrugated stick that the musician rubs with a plain stick.
By the 1970s, reggae music became known around the world. The style of music was especially popular in the United States, Great Britain, and Africa. Many people say that reggae music serves as a voice for the oppressed.
Some of the greatest reggae songs of all time include:
“No Woman, No Cry” by Bob Marley and the Wailers
“Funky Kingston” by Toots & the Maytals
“Montego Bay” by Freddie Notes & the Rudies
“Many Rivers to Cross” by Jimmy Cliff
“The Tide is High” by the Paragons
“Red Red Wine” by UB40
“I Shot the Sherriff” by Bob Marley and the Wailers
“Revolution” by Dennis Brown
“Love is My Religion” by Ziggy Marley
“Hold Me Tight” by Johnny Nash
Bob Marley and the Wailers are considered the most iconic reggae artists ever and are credited for bringing reggae music to the international stage.
Every year on July 1, Kinston, Jamaica, hosts the International Reggae Festival. Around the world, cities also hold Reggae concerts in celebration of the day. Some of these cities include The Bahamas, South Africa, Kenya, Brazil, the United Kingdom, and Columbia.
Don’t despair if no reggae concerts are in your area on this day, you can still participate. Listen to reggae music. Search for reggae videos online. Watch a documentary, such as Reggae: The Story of Jamaican Music or Roots, Reggae, Rebellion.

Fotouni's Rich Culture, people and heritage
Fotouni's story is exhilarating and fierce, made up of wars, superhuman efforts, blood, sweat and tears that have left their indelible marks on its indegenous people. The term "fotouni" is of warlike origin;
This testifies to the history of the sons of this village which has continued to be inscribed in letters of fire and violence.
The name Fotouni is very recent and dates from 1909. Indeed, when a German army lieutenant during a trip to Dschang stopped at current Fotouni, he asked the name, he was told: "Petouni".
This term which can have two meanings: either those who cut off their heads to allude to the various wars during which the weapons used were above all the spears and machetes;
Either "those who descended by the head" that is to say from the top.
Indeed, the indegens of Fotouni descended from the mountains to occupy the southern part.
In one way or another, this expression has become in its evolutions Batouni and later Fotouni.

Rappel historique: Ce mas*que mét*allique a été utilisé pendant l'esc*lav*age pour 3 raisons principales :
1) Pour éviter que les sl*aves ne mangent des fruits tels que des pommes, des ananas, des oranges, des noix de cajou, des bananes et des cannes à sucre, etc... lors de leur récolte.
2) Pour empêcher les slaves de chanter les chants spirituels et les chants guerriers africains. Ces chansons spirituelles et guerriers ont motivé certains sla*ves à se reb*eller et à se bat*tre sans se soucier de leur v*ie.
3) Pour ne plus enseigner les dialectes (langues) locaux africains à leurs enfants... Ce qui a détruit nos dialectes, et les a forcé à apprendre les langues des maîtres sl*ave.

UNE HISTOIRE CACHÉE ET OUBLIÉE.
--Lorsque le nom « Afrique » n’existait pas encore, on parlait, pour faire référence à des régions ce territoire, de Kathiopa, de terre d’Ethiopie, de terre de « Ham », terre de « Koush », terre de « Sheba », d’Alkebulan… D’après le célèbre historien Ibn Khaldoun , ces terres ont reçu le nom « IFRIQIYA » (Africa) après l’invasion d’un des rois arabes du Yemen, qui portait le nom « Ifriqos bin Qais bin Saifi », ce roi va s’emparer des terres du Nord (Magreb, etc.), et dès lors celles-ci porteront le nom se rapportant à lui, c’est-à-dire « Ifriqya » (Afrique). De plus, le célèbre explorateur Léon l’Africain, dit dans son livre cosmographia de affrica que le nom Afrique a été donné par Malek-Afriki, roi Sabéen, lorsqu’il envahit le nord de l’Afrique (Maghreb actuel).
--les Européens nous désignent par le mot Africains ayant pour origine le mot Ifriqiya, nom d’une tribu Berbère installée à l’époque romaine, entre la Tunisie et l’Algérie orientale.
-- Les Arabes nous désignent par le mot Soudan signifiant Noirs, et notre continent par AlKabulan signifiant Celui qui sait recevoir.
--Les Grecs nous désignaient par le mot Ethiopiens signifiant Visage Brûlé, et le mot Libye désignait notre continent (Hérodote, Histoire Il, 22 et Histoire IV 42).
--Le nom Afrique viendrait de l’Ouest par les Romains, qui utilisaient le nom Africa terra
« Terre des Afri » (pluriel, ou » Afer » au singulier) pour désigner le nord du continent, comme la province de l’Afrique avec pour capital Carthage, correspondant à l’actuel Tunisie.
--Les Afri étaient une tribu qui a habité en Afrique du Nord dans la région de Carthage. L’origine de Afer peut être raccordé à la langue afar des phéniciens, qui signifierait « poussière ». Mais une théorie de 1981 affirme que cela découlerait du mot Berbère ifri signifiant « grotte », en référence aux troglodytes (habitants de caverne).
--Quant aux Juifs, ils nous désignaient par le mot Koushim et notre continent par le mot Koush, du nom BaKouSou l’un de nos peuples du Nzadi (Jérémie 13 : 23 et Sophonie 3 : 10).
--Cependant, le chapitre 10 du livre de la Genèse en citant les trois continents connus dans l’Antiquité, nous révèle que l’ancien nom de notre continent était KaM , diminutif de KaMa.
--La racine du mot « KaMa » est omniprésente chez bon nombre de peuples d’Afrique centrale, d’Afrique de l’Ouest.
Cette racine héritée de nos ancêtres se rencontre dans les langues suivantes :
--Kem-bou signifiant en langue Peulh : Charbon de bois !
-- KaMa signifiant Noir en Copte,
--iKaMa signifiant Noirci en Mbochi,
--KaMi signifiant Brûlé en Bambara, KéMi signifiant Brûlé en Mandjakou,
--KheuM signifiant Brûlé en Wolof,
--Kim signifiant Brûlé en Mossi,
--KeMpou signifiant Noir en Vaï,
--KéMatou signifiant Complètement Brûlé en Mandjakou sont à rapprocher de l’égyptien KaMtou.
--Le mot égyptien KaMa représenté graphiquement par un morceau de bois brûlant (un charbon) dérive du radical KaLa signifiant également Charbon dans certaines de nos langues, à l’instar du Kongo, du Téké, du Zigoula, du Mbati, etc
--Mais le mot KaMa (KMT) est-il originaire de notre continent ?
Oui, car depuis l’apparition de l’écriture hiéroglyphique (3400 av. J. C), les anciens Egyptiens se désignaient par le mot KaMtou signifiant Noirs, car ils l’étaient. Par ailleurs, ils utilisaient le mot KaMi ou KeMet (KMT) signifiant Noire, non seulement pour désigner leur terre, mais aussi par extension notre continent. Soudan veut dire « terres des noirs » et Éthiopie signifie » visages brûles ».
--Le mot KaM figure également sur une inscription cananéenne datée du 10ème siècle av. J. C, et désigne notre continent (Stèle de Paraiba, au Brésil).

--Lorsque le nom « Afrique » n’existait pas encore, on parlait, pour faire référence à des régions ce territoire, de Kathiopa, de terre d’Ethiopie, de terre de « Ham », terre de « Koush », terre de « Sheba », d’Alkebulan… D’après le célèbre historien Ibn Khaldoun , ces terres ont reçu le nom « IFRIQIYA » (Africa) après l’invasion d’un des rois arabes du Yemen, qui portait le nom « Ifriqos bin Qais bin Saifi », ce roi va s’emparer des terres du Nord (Magreb, etc.), et dès lors celles-ci porteront le nom se rapportant à lui, c’est-à-dire « Ifriqya » (Afrique). De plus, le célèbre explorateur Léon l’Africain, dit dans son livre cosmographia de affrica que le nom Afrique a été donné par Malek-Afriki, roi Sabéen, lorsqu’il envahit le nord de l’Afrique (Maghreb actuel).
--les Européens nous désignent par le mot Africains ayant pour origine le mot Ifriqiya, nom d’une tribu Berbère installée à l’époque romaine, entre la Tunisie et l’Algérie orientale.
-- Les Arabes nous désignent par le mot Soudan signifiant Noirs, et notre continent par AlKabulan signifiant Celui qui sait recevoir.
--Les Grecs nous désignaient par le mot Ethiopiens signifiant Visage Brûlé, et le mot Libye désignait notre continent (Hérodote, Histoire Il, 22 et Histoire IV 42).
--Le nom Afrique viendrait de l’Ouest par les Romains, qui utilisaient le nom Africa terra
« Terre des Afri » (pluriel, ou » Afer » au singulier) pour désigner le nord du continent, comme la province de l’Afrique avec pour capital Carthage, correspondant à l’actuel Tunisie.
--Les Afri étaient une tribu qui a habité en Afrique du Nord dans la région de Carthage. L’origine de Afer peut être raccordé à la langue afar des phéniciens, qui signifierait « poussière ». Mais une théorie de 1981 affirme que cela découlerait du mot Berbère ifri signifiant « grotte », en référence aux troglodytes (habitants de caverne).

🎵🎶BOBE YERIMA AFO-AKOM's Autobiography 🎶 🎵
TUBUO TOHMUNTAIN MARTIN, Alias Bobe yerima Afo-akom was born on November 18/11/1956 in NJINIKOM in kom **** Sub Division of the Mentchum Division.
I began my primary elementary education in St Anthony's Catholic School in NJINIKOM North West Providence of CAMEROON, today known as North West Region.
I was born in a family of ten and I was the first. My father, Pa Joseph Tohmuntain was one of the best bottle dance guitarists in West Cameroon and my mother Mama Fransisca Tii was a chorister in St Anthony's Catholic Mission.
At the age 9, my father used to take me along to accompany him to Palm wine 🌴 houses with his guitar
While in the primary school, I became the band leader of the school band . I used to make sure that every Sunday I organize tea time dance commonly known as social gathering for boys and girls to dance from 12noon, after church till 6pm before children went back to their homes considering that there was no electricity in the village in those days.
This was done with a six batterie record player.
Shortly after reunification I got integrated into a reunification orchestra in Old Town Abakwa Bamenda in 1974. And
I was later Inspired by Prince Nico MBARGA's _Sweet Mother_ song and Johnny Tezano's song **** led "Competition for **** ba".
So I decided to go for a music adventure where I trekked for 3 days by foot to Nigeria looking for Prince Nico Mbarga where I presented myself as a musician from Cameroon with a lot of courage and was recruited into his team B.
After my first ever released record inspired by the history of the stolen AFO AKOM produced by a Nigerian producer who had limited mastery of the genre, the album didn't do well in the market.
All the same, I was invited to animate a TV show during the inauguration of Ngongola State Television in 1980 in Nigeria . After a long struggle in Nigeria my music carrier did not boom as expected .
Sadly I was sent out of Nigeria amongst the illegal immigrants in 1982. I came and settled in Garoua and that was when Radio Garoua started broadcasting my music that I produced in Nigeria, and that was when my people in Cameroon began hearing my music for the first time .
Shortly after the arrival of TV in Cameroon, i was invited by Elvis Kemayo for a TV show programme called Télé Podium.
In 1984 I released a song **** led _J'ai Tout Perdu_
And that was another beginning of my music carrier in Cameroon after a long struggle. In 1986 I was Inspired by the Lake Nyos Disaster to release a song **** led _Lake Nyos_ .
In 1991 during the Wind of Change in Africa I released a song **** led _CRYING FOR SALVATION_
In 1992 i released _Ndong Ibolem_
In 1993 I released a song **** led __We Hate Ourselves_, _
In 1997 I released a song **** led _Our Environment_ .
In 2000 I released _Femme Rural_
With many other tracks, including the recently released "AFO AKOM" in 2024.
I can say it has been an amazing journey even with the storms. This has been a journey of a thousand miles which began with passion and a single step, a hard hard road to travel and very very rough.
I love you all 🥰

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.

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.

It may be just an ordinary-looking leaf, but a bay leaf is packed with flavour, aroma, health and wellness. It is a herb that can be traced to ancient times. The Bay laurel (Laurus ****** ilis, Lauraceae), similar to the bay leaf, was the main constituent in the wreaths of laurel used for crowning the victorious athletes in ancient Greece. Also known as Sweet Bay or Sweet Laurel, it is one of the most commonly used herbs. Its history dates back to the legends of the Greek god Apollo, the god of prophecy, healing, strength, protection and energy. You can cook the leaves and inhale the steam to get rid of mucus and reduce the severity of the cough. Bay leaf protects against heart attack and stroke, because it contains compounds that protect the heart and blood vessels. It is rich in acids such as caffeic acid, quercetin, eigenol and parthenolide, which are substances that prevent the formation of cancer cells in the body. Eliminates insomnia and stress if taken before bedtime and helps to relax and sleep peacefully. Drinking a cup of boiled bay leaf twice a day dissolves kidney stones and cures infections.
Just as we typically burn incense sticks, bay leaves are also burned in homes and places of worship as a part of spiritual rites and rituals. The bay leaf is believed to contain a multitude of chemicals that are released on burning and are beneficial to the body. Burning a bay leaf has also been found to relieve stress and fatigue. The combination of chemicals, specifically the chemical linalool in the leaves creates smoke that, when inhaled, calms the body and the mind. Patrons also associate bay leaf smoke with more focused meditation. Inhalation of this smoke is also said to boost one’s immune system and treat respiratory issues. It is believed that consuming about 1 to 3 grams of fresh bay leaf regularly, can also help one to effectively deal with Type II diabetes.
Learn how to take away your worries and make your wishes come true with the magical uses of bay leaf. Bay leaf, also known as bay laurel, is a powerful herb that is useful for manifestation, prosperity, protection, cleansing and even psychic development. It is a favorite herb of many as it is easily accessible, has multiple magical uses and is easy to grow inside of your home or garden. Take a bay leaf and write your wishes and desires directly on the leaf. While holding the bay leaf, begin to channel your wants, intentions and wishes into the leaf. Take as much time as you need to focus your energy, feelings and visualizations into the leaf. Feel and visualize receiving what you are asking for and be open to receive it. Once you are finished channeling and feel ready, burn the bay leaf. Watch the smoke of the Bay leaf carry your wishes and intentions out into the universe. Bay leaves are widely known for their power to develop psychic abilities, and most commonly, what’s known as the “clairs”. What this means is that bay leaves can help to heighten your extrasensory abilities, in order to receive psychic messages, communicate with your spiritual team, and connect to the Universe. You can sleep with a bay leaf under your pillow to receive psychic messages in your dreams. This same method also helps with lucid dreaming or astral travel, both of which are difficult techniques but, once mastered, can help to connect you with ancestors!
