Hikma complex centre/Mosque in Dandaji , Niger. Designed by Mariam Issoufou Kamara and Yasaman Esmaili. A insight of what the future of Sudano architecture can look like. Mariam's work is incredible, a great fusion.

The façade is one of Hausa architecture's most luring qualities and easy to distinguish. Pinnacles (zankwaye) on the top have become a regular aspect. The engraving plastered on the walls are desinged by specialized artisans and hand engravers and have a notable style.

Plumbing system of the Ashanti empire :
Many houses especially in the capital were two stories high, cleaned, decorated and well maintained. There was also indoor plumbing, toilets were flushed with gallons of boiling water and plantain fibre was used as toilet article.

Father with Son, playing the Bailol Makeni, Sierra Leone
Bailol is a stringed instrument that is plucked with the index fingers of the right hand it’s held near the chest and the point where the string joins the bow is where the mouth is used as a resonator/amplify sound.

The Kongo (kingdom) elite had an extremely well understanding of the greater world and geopolitics. They were well versed in global affairs and knew how to adapt/utlise their embassies and diplomatic ties. They were far from isolated.

Reminds me of when Nazi Germans shot down a plane and a navigator who was from Sierra Leone (he did 26 bombings in a row) survived it by parachuting before it hit the ground
Nazi’s captured him they were shocked and asked
“Why are you here we are not at war with Africa ?”
A Nigerian who fought in Burma (Smart Ebby) said the Japanese dropped propaganda leaflets in Burma asking this question, "West Africans, what are you fighting for"?
Fortunately for the British most members of the West African Frontier Force (WAFF), were illiterate.

One of the most impressive things about Akan architecture is how well maintained it was. Most look exactly like how the English visitor Bowditch drew/sketched them when he visted in 1819.
These aren't recent reconstructions and think of what was there before the British burning
