Part (4) Furthermore, it was recorded that he built a mosque every Friday. He designed numerous buildings for the Emperor including a new palace named Madagou, the mosque at Gao, the second largest city in Mali, and the still-standing great mosque at Timbuktu, the largest city in the empire. Mansa Musa died in 1337, and was succeeded by his son, Maghan I. However, his heirs were unable to sustain their father’s wealth and fortune, and just two generations later, all the wealth was gone – wasted away by civil wars and invading armies.

Part(3) During the famous journey, he stopped off in Egypt and gave out so much gold that the Egyptian economy was ruined for years to come. When he arrived in Egypt, Mansa Musa camped near the Pyramids for three days. He then sent a gift of 50,000 dinars to the Sultan of Egypt, Al-Nasir Muhammad, before settling in Cairo for three months. The Sultan lent him his palace for the summer and made sure that his entourage was treated well. Mansa Musa gave away thousands of ingots of gold, and Egyptian traders took advantage of this by charging five times the normal price for their goods. Consequently, the value of gold in Egypt decreased as much as 25 percent. While he was in Cairo and Mecca he spent so much money that he eventually ran out. With no funds to support his journey back home, he had to borrow a large amount from Egyptian merchants and to rectify the gold market, Musa borrowed at a ridiculously high interest rate all the gold he could carry from lenders in Cairo. He directly controlled the price of gold in the Mediterranean, reportedly the only time in history one man has done so. Mansa’s reign, which lasted for a good 25 years was that of absolute peace and prosperity in Mali and the surrounding West African countries. According to celebritynetworth.com, the West African nation of Mali, under Musa’s leadership was responsible for more than half of the world’s salt and gold supply. Musa embarked on a large building program, raising mosques and madrasas in Timbuktu and Gao. Most notably, the ancient center of learning Sankore Madrasah (or University of Sankore) was constructed during his reign.

Part (2) Mansa Musa, the Malian emperor is mostly remembered by historians both in Africa and beyond for his extravagant hajj, or pilgrimage that he took to Mecca. This elaborate pilgrimage to the Muslim holy city of Mecca which he embarked on in 1324 introduced him to rulers in the Middle East and in Europe. Archaeologists have discovered that Mansa Musa had gathered a massive group of people to take the journey with him. Accompanying the royal couple were 60,000 porters in a caravan of 100 camel, carrying 300 pounds of gold each, 500 attendants of his senior wife, 500 slaves, each carrying a 4 pound gold staff, and thousands of his subjects. According to David Tschanz in his essay “Lion of Mali: The Hajj of Mansa Musa” in the May 2012 issue of Makzan. “Leading the host were 500 heralds, clad in Persian silk and bearing four-foot-long golden staffs glistening in the sun and nearly blinding anyone who looked at them,” Tschanz writes. “Next came the royal guards some bearing spears and sword, others the flags of their empire.” Also in tow, Tschanz notes, was “a retinue of 12,000 of the king’s personal slaves”. The journey took him and his servants over a year to complete.

Part (1) Whenever the richest person in the globe is mentioned, our minds flash to the western world. We think of the likes of John D Rockfeller, in past history and Bill Gates in current history. It occurs to virtually nobody that anything “world richest” could come from Africa. However, this long-standing belief has been proven wrong by the discovery of the man called Mansa Musa, one time emperor of the empire of Mali (1312–1337). His real name is Musa Keita but adopted the name “Mansa” which means ‘king of kings or emperor”, when he became the ruler of the Malian empire, after the death of his predecessor, Abu-Bakr II in 1312. Malian King Mansa Musa was the richest man in all of the world’s history. According to a new inflation- adjusted list, Mansa Musa was worth a whooping $400 billion, which, incredibly, places him as the No. 1 richest person in history, ahead of the Rothschild family ($350 billion) and John D. Rockefeller ($340 billion). Mansa is known to have made his fortune and fame from the gold and ivory trade that had taken place in Africa during the 14th century.

First year UNIBEN medical students were attending their 1st
Anatomy Class. They all gathered around the table and there
was a real dead body on the table.
The Professor, Mr. Etim, started the class by telling them two
important qualities of a DOCTOR. He said, "The 1st is that
never be DISGUSTED about anything in the body." For
example, he inserted his FINGER in the dead body's ANUS &
put the finger in his own mouth & TASTED it.
Then he told the students to do what he did. The students
hesitated for several minutes, but eventually everyone
inserted their fingers in the body's ANUS & tasted it. When
everyone finished tasting their fingers, they were all
Frowning...
Then the professor looked at them & said: "The most
important 2nd Quality is "Observation". I inserted my
MIDDLE finger but tasted the 2nd finger... Study a course b/c
u have passion for it and not b/c u want to show off. No
wonder we have too many doctors that forget their tools and
objects in patients' bodies after operations...Medicine
requires all your attention! Now learn to pay attention!!
"ALL the students fainted!!!"
