2,200 rooms in Rock City, paragliding and beautiful sceneries all in kwahu

HISTORY
Kwahu are an Akan people living in southern Ghana. The rise of the early Akan centralized states can be traced to the 13th century and is likely related to the opening of trade routes established to move gold throughout the region. It was not until the end of the 17th century, however, that the grand Asante Kingdom emerged in the central forest region of Ghana, when several small states united under the Chief of Kumasi in a move to achieve political freedom from the Denkyira. The Akan confederacy was dissolved by the British in 1900 and colonized in 1901. Although there is no longer a centralized Akan confederacy, Akan peoples maintain a powerful political and economic presence.
TYPES OF ART
The Kwahu are well known for the funerary ceramics found by archaeologists. Woodcarving includes stools, which are recognized as "seats" of power, and akua ba (wooden dolls) that are associated with fertility. There are also extensive traditions of pottery and weaving throughout Akan territory. Kente cloth, woven on behalf of royalty, has come to symbolize African power throughout the world.
ECONOMY
Early Akan economics revolved primarily around the trade of gold and enslaved peoples to Mande and Hausa traders within Africa and later to Europeans along the coast. This trade was dominated by the Asante who received firearms in their role as middlemen in the slave trade. These were used to increase their already dominant power. Local agriculture includes cocoa cultivation for export, while yams and taro serve as the main food staples. Along the coast, fishing is very important. The depleted forests provide little opportunity for hunting. Extensive markets are run primarily by women who hold considerable economic power, while men engage in fishing, hunting, and clearing land. Both sexes are involved in farming.
POLITICAL SYSTEMS
Royal membership among Akan is determined through connection to the land. Anyone who traces descent from a founding member of a village or town may be considered royal. Each family is responsible for maintaining political and social order within its confines. In the past, there was a hierarchy of leadership that extended beyond the family, first to the village headman, then to a territorial chief, then to the paramount chief of each division within the Asante confederacy. The highest level of power is reserved for the Asanthene, who inherited his position along matrilineal lines. The Asantahene still plays an important role in Ghana today, symbolically linking the past with current Ghanaian politics.
RELIGION
Akan believe in a supreme god who takes on various names depending upon the particular region of worship. Akan mythology claims that at one time the god freely interacted with man, but that after being continually struck by the pestle of an old woman pounding fufu, he retreated far up into the sky. There are no priests that serve him directly, and people believe that they may make direct contact with him. There are also numerous abosom (gods), who receive their power from the supreme god and are connected to the natural world. These include ocean and riverine spirits and various local deities. Priests serve individual spirits and act as mediaries between the gods and mankind. Nearly everyone participates in daily prayer, which includes the pouring of libations as an offering to both the ancestors who are buried in the land and to the spirits who are everywhere. The earth is seen as a female deity and is directly connected to fertility and fecundity.

What a beautiful place to be with your family and friends!!

[@ms.yvonnem4945]

It looks like a really nice apartment complex. Greenery and flowers would bring it to life. Even a colorful waterfall would help. It need something spectacular to draw 2,000 guests to a Hotel. IMO

[@otsuspyre1841]

Absolutely beautiful. Ghana standing strong. The Black Star Nation.

[@aboaboyahciciniko7132]

I think this man is the best mp in Ghana he got the money and he invested it in his constituency

[@uk-unitedkwahu4154]

Wow Beautiful KWAHUN MOUNTAIN CITY brought me here to subscribe to your channel

[@restezconnecteavecmamizeeh8904]

It’s beautiful but misses something major, trees. All we see is concrete. We need more green space

[@jakebaba2149]

THE WHOLE PLACE SHOULD HAVE A GOOD GREEN TREE AND VEGETATION COVER WITH FAST GROWING TREES AND MANICURED GRASS.

Nice place

[@faithfaith8968]

Need more trees but beautiful.

[@axelagba5393]

I love the story as always. I just don't understand the rationale behind the loud background music. I don't think it's necessary

[@lovesme1111]

Am I the only one confused? Lol. This is a very beautiful property but I’ve never heard of a hotel with two thousand and two hundred rooms... Hotels I’ve visited globally have 100 or so rooms at each location so I’m just confused about this property that is not one hotel unit but a series of individual buildings that equal 2,200?? Maybe it’s just me that’s perplexed. But I wish the project well and do hope they receive the tourism numbers to house 2,200 people/families.

[@JohnEyubehdabron]

Dee, don't be confused. There are many hotels in the world, that have thousands of rooms. For example, if you visit Las Vegas, Nevada in the US, it is very common to see hotels with 2,000 to 5,000 rooms in ONE building. The MGM Grand alone has over 5,000 rooms. And when the World Resorts opens in 2021, it will have 3,500 rooms. Vegas is known for building MONSTER hotels. Las Vegas has MORE hotel rooms (about 150,000), than anywhere else in the US. And of the top 50 Biggest Hotels in the World, you won't believe this. Las Vegas dominates, with half of them. I pray that one day, tourism will BOOM in Africa,. When that happens, we will see MASSIVE hotels like Vegas types all across Africa. It can happen. Why? Because, before 1989, Vegas hotels were not that big. Vegas used to average, about 17 million visitors every year. But after Steve Wynn built the Mirage and opened it in 1989, Vegas tourism EXPLODED! Now, more than 35 million visitors come to Vegas per year. Before the pandemic, Vegas was already planning to push those numbers to 50 million visitors per year. Africa has a population of 1.2 billion people. That is a HUGE and UNTAPPED tourism potential...if we can get it right!

[@alexandergyimahagyemang1501]

please go to Macau and hotels with 1000s of rooms will not surprise anymore.

Would have been nice to see INSIDE of the hotel. Just buildings lumped together gives no experience 😏

[@PRINCESSGEMINI1987]

She didn’t go to the hotel. This video is just a voiceover footage of the hotel with old snippets of her in Kwahu.

[@doreenonekalit9888]

I wish you had done a better filming footage. This place is going to be such a world destination.

[@adupako1057]

They have to develop this place and name it as city. The land needs more plan

[@papa22631]

Like what?

[@HoodsGlobal]

What a hotel. Is it affordable to average Ghanaian?

[@dadoboye1536]

BJ Wake...I’m sure there’s a price range. People in Ghana who may not be able to afford it can go to other hotels, right? Hotels are geared towards tourist but most Ghanaians wouldn’t be tourist, right? Anymore questions?

[@helpalivechannel5455]

Yes it's affordable my sweet friend

Where this man gets his money because he is minister of state

[@ritaampomah4608]

He started before joining the government and it's a joint project which they started years ago.
