The International Central Gospel Church – ICGC – is an Evangelical, Charismatic Christian Church. It was officially inaugurated as a church on the 26th of February 1984, in Accra, Ghana. The first meeting was held in a small classroom with an initial membership of just about twenty people. In 1988 the ICGC established a ministerial institute to train a new generation of leaders to carry out its vision. From the initial six-month certificate in ministry, the college has developed into the premier private-owned University in Ghana known as the Central University College. Again in 1988, the church instituted an educational scholarship scheme, known as Central Aid, to finance the education of selected needy students in pre-tertiary educational institutions. This scheme is now considered the largest non-governmental scholarship programme for students in pre-tertiary education in Ghana.

The ensuing thirteen months to January 2000, were spent in a nomadic Sunday migration as we moved between Girls' High School, Queen Elizabeth School, the Garden Club Hall in the Harare Exhibition Park, and the ZANU (PF) conference hall
From February 2000 to December 2001, we used the auditorium at 55 Kwame Nkrumah Avenue for our Sunday and mid-week services. Having started with one Sunday morning service, we were running two services from September 2000 and then three services from April 2001. Our move to the Harare International Conference Centre came in January 2002, and we are still there on a regular basis.
In all the time that we have been negotiating venues, our growth in terms of the numbers and quality of our people has been exponential. Blessed with a very young congregation, we have seen them grow and mature into leaders in both the church and the market place. In recent years God has sent a crop older people to bring stability and added credibility to what has been built by a very young church.
Today New Life Covenant Church is a growing dynamic, vibrant expression of the Kingdom of God.

5. Redeemed Christian Church of God (Nigeria)

The RCCG was founded by Pa Josiah Akindayomi, who came from Ondo State in the Western part of Nigeria. He was born in 1909. He grew up as an idol worshipper but he later converted to Christianity out of a yearning to know “The God who created the earth and everyone on it”. He was baptized in 1927by the Church Missionary Society (CMS). He joined the Cherubim and Seraphim (C&S) church in 1931 because he was not fulfilled as a Christian in the Anglican Church. He left the Cherubim and Seraphim (C&S) church in 1952 and started a house fellowship called, the Glory of God Fellowship at Willoughby Street, Ebute-Metta, Lagos. Pa Akindayomi, who was an illiterate, one day, proclaimed that he got a revelation from God about the renaming of the church the Redeemed Christian Church of God, which is now a household name in many countries. Thus in 1952, the Redeemed Christian Church of God was born. As Papa was preparing to meet his Creator, he sent for Pastor Adeboye and spent several hours sharing with him details of the covenant and the plans of the Lord for the church. Even though a year before this, the Lord had revealed to Pastor Adeboye that he would be Papa's successor, it was still too difficult for him to fully contemplate such an awesome responsibility. The above is their new auditorium which can seat one million people at a time.

6. Faith Evangelical Ministries (Kenya)

Do you know that with six African nations representing the African continent in the current world cup, it will possible to witness an African side get to the final for the first time.

The permutation for this scenario to happen will be Nigeria to win its group and South Africa to qualify as second place in it's own group or vice versa.

Ghana also needs to win its group and then win the second round match by beating USA or any other team that finishes second in the USA group.

If this scenario happens either South Africa or Nigeria will meet Ghana in the quarter finals, meaning that an African country will get to the semi final for the very first time.

If Ivory Coast gets to the semi-final from their half of the draw, then it means an African Nation will be in the final for the first time ever. keep your fingers crossed.

Six African Star Players to watch out for

2010-06-10T14:43:00.000-07:00

Six African Star Players to watch out for:

Karim Ziani: Born and raised in France, his father is from Algeria and his mother is from France. The 27 year old was a regular with Sochaux and Olympique Marseille before joining German Champions Wolfsburg last year. He has not been on form recently but for his national he is the absolute key man. He was involved in more than 80% of Algeria’s qualifying goals.

Steven Pienaar: Johannesburg- born midfielder had an excellent season with Everton, both his club and country were dependent on his form. He is a fast and versatile player and can play as creative attacking midfielder or winger. He is nicknamed ‘The Mighty Peanut’.

Obafemi Martins: Martins has 24 caps and 15 goals for the Super Eagles. An injury meant he only played in three qualifies but scored twice. He is a fast and deadly player.

Sulleyman Muntari: With Michael Essien not available for the Black Stars, Muntari will be looked upon as the team leader, he is the biggest star in the team and is known for his thunderous strikes which are a nightmare for goalkeepers.

Samuel Eto’o: one of the best players in the world, Eto won a fistful of titles with Barcelona including the champion league in 2009 and has just done the same with Inter Milan, he his the only player to have won back to back trebles. He has scored more than 43 goals for his national side.

Didier Drogba: The 32 year old Chelsea striker is one of the best centre fowars in the world. He was recently named African Footballer of the year for the second timeand netted his country first every goal in a world cup. He has 41 goals from 60 games. He his the highest goal scorer in the just concluded English Premeir league.

The African Players to be the 2010 World Cup’s best young player

2010-06-10T14:36:00.000-07:00

Of the 736 players representing their countries in the world cup, 35 were born in 1989 or later and 11 of these players will be representing Africa.

Nigeria,s Lukman Haruna( Monaco) was the captain of their 2007 U-17 World Cup Championship team. With Mikel Obi injured, he his guaranteed a place in the team to face Argentina. He his hard working centre midfielder, whose style is been compared to Michael Essien of Ghana.

Ryad Boudebouz( Algeria& Sochaux) like Haruna might be fortunate and find himself having a role for the Algerians, with the injury to Algerian playmaker Mourad Maghni he may have a chance to showcase his talent.

Andre Ayew
Ghana has the most youngsters, with five under 21 players representing the Black Stars. Goalkeeper Daniel Adei plies his trade with Liberty of Ghana. Jonathan Mensah is another home based player with Free Star State also in Ghana, he has already drawn interest from clubs in Europe.

Dominic Adiyiah plays for AC Milan; he won the Golden Boot and Golden Ball at the under 20 world cup last year. He his not expected to be in the first team but is expected to be a supersub.

The two youngsters guaranteed to start for the Black Stars are Andre Ayew currently a free agent and Samuel Inkoom. Ayew is a left sided midfielder and Inkoom who plays for FC Basel is a right back with good crossing ability.

Cameroon has four youngsters lead by Eric Maxim Chupo-Moting a striker who has a goal in two appearances for his country. He switched from Germany after appearing for the youth team and plays for Hamburg.

Nicolas N’Koulou plays for AC Monaco, he is a centre back, and has been linked to clubs in Spain and England.

Joel Matip is another defender who has made four appearances as a substitute in Cameroon’s last five games and is expected to feature for the Indomitable Lions, he piles his trade for Schalke 04.

Abourbakar is the second youngest player at the world Cup, his speed and finishing ability has drawn interest from all over Europe, he currently plays for Valenciennes in France

World Cup

2010-06-10T14:10:00.000-07:00

The world cup is upon us and the African teams are buzzing for hosting the tournament for the first time ever on African soil. Here is a list of the teams representing Africa and tactics they would employ for the world cup and their chances.

South Africa tactics

Team - 4-4-1-3-2
Khune; Gaxa, Masilela, Morris, Mokoena; Dikgacoi; Tshabalala, Pienaar, Modise; Mphela Parker.

South Africa habit of rapid passing and quick movement off the ball and a level of fitness that will wear down opponents.

South Africa will use the midfield generals of Steven Pienaar and Teko Modise to probe and try break through the centre but wing play will be as important with Siphiwe Tshabalala tricky on the left and Siboniso Gaxa likely to play right back and storm down that flank.

South Africa are expected to play just a single defensive midfielder with Kagisho Dikgacoi likely to get the nod ahead of MacBeth Sibaya. He is quicker and more adventurous.

Captain Aaron Mokoena is key in the centre of defence while Tsepo Masilela is strong on the left

Algeria's

Team - 4-4-2
Gaouaoui; Yahia, Halliche, Bougherra, Belhadj; Mansouri, Yebda, Meghni, Ziani; Matmour, Ghezzal.

Algeria tactics are built around the game winning potential of Karim Ziani,. The diminutive winger spends his time on the right, looking to run at opposing defences.

Meghni is a new find and a good counter on the left side of attack but faces a battle to get fit in time for the World Cup. With plodding strikers in Ghezzal and Matmour, there is too much of a reliance on the players across the middle.

Hassen Yebda will look to provide some playmaking qualities. Algeria therefore will be well prepared to take advantage of set pieces and look to get their sizeable back four forward on as many occasions as possible.

A dangerous weapon too is Nader Belhadj, continually overlapping on the left hand side.

Nigeria tactics

Nigeria fast pace football and quality defensive midfielder has been a revelation under new coach Lagerback . Odemwingie and Uche have single handly carried teams to the world cup but other players have stated pulling their weight. Obasi can be expected to make some impact down the right hand side and upfront Martins and Yakubu have both pace and power.

Holding role
Yobo is the mainstay of the defence with Taiwo a deadly weapon on the overlap and also at set pieces.

Right-back is still a position to be settled. Uche Kalu and Haruna are the possible impact players, while Kanu is reserved these days for cameo roles late in the game too, where he still has the footwork to create limited havoc.

Team - 4-1-3-2
Enyeama; Apam, Yobo, Nwaneri, Taiwo; Etuhu; Obasi, Haruna, Odemwingie; Martins Yakubu.

Cameroon tactics

Team - 4-4-2
Kameni; Mbia, Assou Ekotto, Nkoulou, Bassong; Song, Eyong, Emana, Mandjeck; Webo, Eto'o. (st)

Eto'o, who was named team captain – replacing Rigobert Song – by coach Le Guen last August, has had a myriad of players alongside him for more than a decade now but has never had one to even come close to profiting properly from his speed and guile.

At the Nations Cup in Angola, the tall form of Idrissou probably looked the best foil for the Inter striker.

Creativity
Alex Song will run the midfield – he has a withdrawn role at Arsenal shielding the back line, but Cameroon will look to him for creativity – but Mbia is being moved to right-back.

In defence, coach Le Guen has dropped Rigobert Song and Geremi and will probably use the Tottenham pair of Assou-Ekotto and Bassong in their stead. The 20-year-old Nkoulou is the other centre-back and one with a bright career ahead of him.

Cameroon are likely to line up in a traditional 4-4-2, although against the Dutch they may be tempted to play with Eto'o as lone striker and put more muscle into the midfield, perhaps in the form of Makoun.

Gaouaoui; Yahia, Halliche, Bougherra, Belhadj; Mansouri, Yebda, Meghni, Ziani; Matmour, Ghezzal.

Ghana tactics
Team - 4-1-3-2
Kingson; Inkoom, Mensah, Vorsah, Sarpei; Annan; Asamoah, Prince Boateng, Muntari' Gyan, Amoah.

Ghana's use of a midfield pivot at the African Nations Cup finals in Angola earlier this year proved hugely effective, with Kwadwo Asamoah a veritable general.

The powerful Essien is not taking part but in his place is the equally powerful midfield general Kevin-Prince Boateng will seek to drive things forward, while Muntari's ability to weave in from the flank provides other exciting options.

Packing the midfield
However, Ghana often inhibit their own ability to move freely by packing their midfield. Sarpei uses the left flank to good effect and Inkoom can push on the right. If they do so, Annan will become the anchor and Asamoah the playmaker.

Up front, Gyan's pace means that he can sit high up on the opposing defence and then break free to capitalise on the service provided.

Ivory Coast/ Cote d'Ivoire

Team - 4-4-2
Barry; Eboue, Toure, Bamba, Tiene; Zokora; Toure; Tiote; Gervinho; Kalou;

The most gifted African team in the world cup , surplus of quality strikers will likely see the Ivorians go in with at least three up front against North Korea but be a lot more circumspect against Brazil and Portugal. Drogba leads the line and will have Kalou and Bakary Kone as possible partners with Abdelkader Keita used as second half impact player.

Winning possession in midfield is one of their strong points with Zokora and Toure among the world's best defensive midfielders. Lacking is a better supply to the strikers with the Ivorians missing a genuine playmaker.

The left side of defence is also a weak point with several options tried in recent years but no real solution found. Eriksson's influence will likely not to be as marked as it was with England given the short amount of time he has to prepare the team.

The new coach's priority, after the foibles of the Nations Cup, will be to install better discipline in the defence where Bamba and Toure made calamitous mistakes.

FOOTBALL IN EAST AFRICA FINALLY RISING

2010-03-20T09:03:00.000-07:00

For years North Africa had been dominating the soccer scene in Africa, this has been preceded by the massive resurgence of West Africa football not to discount Southern Africa which has always exported players to the powerful leagues in Europe. Is it East Africa’s turn? For a nation better known for its long and middle distance athletics prowess, McDonald Mariga has made history. He became the first Kenyan and to be more precise, to show the magnitude of its importance, the first East African to play in the Champions league.

The Buzz it’s creating not only in Nairobi but within East Africa is incredible. When Mariga walked into the pitch on Tuesday March 16th for Inter FC against Chelsea, for seven minutes, the whole nation stood to watch their son. Mariga started his playing career at Ulinzi Stars before moving first to Tusker FC and then to Pipeline FC whilst still at school.

Mariga was a member of the Kamukunji High School 'Golden Boys', which also included Kenyan striker Dennis Oliech (Auxerre, France), that won two consecutive National Championships in 2002 & 2003.The central midfielder went to Sweden in 2005 to play for third Division side Enköpings SK. After only one season at ESK, he signed for Helsingborgs IF before the 2006 season.

His success at Olympia was immediate. Following initial interest from Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp, Mariga looked set to sign for the Premier League team, but work permit issues held up the deal which was supposed to have cost around €2.7million. Mariga played 35 times for Parma in the Serie B during the 2008-2009 season scoring three times to help them back to Serie A for the 2009-2010 season. On 1 February 2010, the last day of the transfer window, Mariga moved to Internazionale in a co-ownership deal, after a predicted move to Manchester City fell through.

Watch out for other East African players making progress, Kenyan striker Dennis Oliech (Auxerre, France) and Uganda David Obua (Rangers, Scotland).

African Hollywood Movie Director!

2009-10-23T14:00:00.001-07:00

This week our Editor wanted us to compile a list of top African movie directors. This is aimed at inspiring budding directors. This should ideally be those with worldwide appeal.

Our researchers came back with the news that there is only one African at the moment who has directed a big budget movie- Mr Gavin Wood. This was disappointing. Hence the decision was made to do a write up on Gavin Wood. We hope this inspires budding movie directors.

Gavin Wood is from Johannesburg, South Africa. He learnt his trade at the film school of the University of California. In 2000, Variety magazine named him as one of its "Ten Directors to Watch".

His break came when he was hired to make a number of educational dramas for the South African Department of Health; his first commercial short movie was called The Storekeeper.

His first full length movie was called A Reasonable Man. The film depicts the accidental killing of a young child who is mistaken for a tokoloshe- an evil spirit. Wood then went on to direct the Polish language 2001 movie called In Desert and Wilderness when the original director fell ill. This was followed by Tsotsi in 2005. Tsotsi is about a small time criminal, who has no feelings and has been hardened by his tough life. In the movie Tsotsi hijacks a car and discovers that there is a baby in the back seat, he takes the baby to his house in the slum and becomes attached to him.

Gavin Wood is also the director of the Hollywood Blockbuster X-Men Origins: Wolverine, based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name, with Hugh Jackman playing his role from the X-Men films. He directed Rendition (2007), his first Hollywood feature movie.

For any aspiring movie directors, check out New York Film Academy, they run degrees and short courses on Movie and Video directing www.nyfa.com they have locations all over the world from Universal Studios in California to London and Spain.

The falls are part of two national parks - Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park in Zambia and Victoria Falls National Park in Zimbabwe and its unique geography can ensure that one gets a face-on view of the falls to enjoy its spray, noise and the omni-present rainbows over the falls. The best time to visit is between March and May in the rains when the falls is in full splendor.

3. The Pyramids and Sphinx of Egypt
The Pyramids of ancient Egypt is one of the most astonishing architectural feats of mankind! The Pyramids are the last surviving members of the seven wonders of the ancient world. The Pyramid of Cheops took 20000 laborers, 2 million blocks of stone weighing 2.5 tons each to build! Climbing up the walls of the pyramids is strictly prohibited. A visit to the Pyramid is like stepping back in time and it takes a great effort for one not to be captivated by them.

4. Timbuktu - Mali
Timbuktu is in Mali, It is also at the intersection of an east–west and a north–south Trans-Saharan trade route across the Sahara to Araouane. It was important historically (and still is today) as an entrepot for rock-salt originally from Taghaza, now from Taoudenni. Its geographical setting made it a natural meeting point for nearby west African populations and nomadic Berber and Arab peoples from the north. Its long history as a trading outpost that linked west Africa with Berber, Arab, and Jewish traders throughout north Africa. Timbuktu is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Timbuktu (Tombouctou in French) means a well owned by a woman with a great belly button!

5. Cape Town - South Africa
Cape Town unforgettable image of the city is the backdrop of the huge Table Mountain that stands smack in the middle of the city and overlooks the harbor. A ride by cable car to the top is exhilarating. The Table Mountain has numerous bird and animal species along with an abundant bloom of flowers.
The city offers myriad attractions like amusement parks, trips to the wine heartlands in the Western Cape, a trip to Robben Island (where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years), there is also cage-diving to watch the great white sharks, whale-watching trips, numerous shopping malls, the absolutely fantastic Victoria and Albert waterfront area - the list is endless. There are numerous beaches around the city and caters to all kinds of people on vaction.

6. Marrakech - Morrocco

Marrakech is the cultural center of Morrocco, it has an historical feel to the city. If shopping is what you engoy a nice market scenes laden with carpet salesmen, fire jugglers, hookah-smoking then get 3 days of Marrakech and enjoy it to the hilt. Take in the tranquility of the Majorelle gardens, the gardens around Saadian Tomb and enjoy a nice, cool cup of mint tea in Riad. Avoid the hot summer months and try to visit between September and May. The city hosts the annual Marrakech popular arts festival in July every year, Fantasia (a horse-riding spectacle in which men and women compete in traditional attires and the Berber tribe Imilchil marriage festival. For those who want to experience skiing in Africa, Oukaimden ski resort is less than 50 miles away and offers the chance to ski down the Atlas mountains.

7. Mt. Kilimanjaro, Tanzania Mt. Kilimanjaro situated in Northern Tanzania near the kenyan border, is the tallest mountain in Africa. The mountain offers the chance for even an inexperienced climber to summit the peak. It is the world's tallest walkable peak and the 5 zones of climatic changes that one encounters during the walk is breathtaking. Any one who is fit can climb this mountain and reach the summit - Uhuru (freedom in Swahili) Peak. The whole climb takes about 5 days but pace yourself to summit it in 5-7 days to avoid the dangerous and often fatal condition called as acute mountain sickness. The trek can cost anywhere between 2000-5000 dollars and get yourself a good tour guide who can offer good and safe chances at summitting. The scenery of the sun rising over the mountain peak at dawn (when summitting is attempted) is unforgettable.

8 Zanzibar
Zanzibar is an island in the Indian Ocean that belongs to Tanzania and is 35 kilometers from Dar-es-Salaam, the capital of Tanzania. The island is made up of two smaller islands - the bigger Umoja and the smaller Pemba.
Zanzibar is well known for its pristine beaches, spices and the historic city of Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The warm and turquoise sea offers excellent swimming conditions right through the year and the coral reefs offshore are breathtaking. For thos interested in snorkelling and SCUBA diving, Zanzibar is a paradise. Stone Town was once a slave trading post for the Arabs and is immersed in history. There are several flights daily from Dar-es-Salaam in Tanzania and Nairobi in Kenya. Zanzibar offers a huge choice of accomodation to suit all budgets.

9 Virunga Mountains - Congo, Rwanda, Uganda
Your chances of seeing mountain gorrillas in the wild? are not likely but if you are in the Virunga Volcanic Region - an extinct volcanic region within the dense equatorial forests along the common borders of Rwanda, Uganda and the DCR Congo. Diane Fossey, a champion for the cause of gorrillas, worked in this area. There are only 650 mountain gorrillas in the wild and time is running out for us humans to see them in the wild!
The gorrillas can be seen from any of the three countries. Prior permits are needed and sometimes can take a long time unless arranged by your tour operator. The cost of the permit is 500 USD and proceeds go towards the conservation efforts of these gentle giants. To be part of the group that is on a mission to see gorrillas there are several rules to be followed. These include - age more than 15 years, no infectious diseases in the person wishing to see the gorrillas, maintain at least 5 meters distance from the gorrilla, stay for not more than an hour, no flash photography, no eating or drinking in front of them and no touching the gorrillas.

10. Omo river region, Ethiopia
Omo in Southwestern Ethiopia is home to more than 50 indigenous tribes. For those interested in African cultures this region is a must see. Due to the remote location many of these tribes still have intact traditional beliefs and customs. Tours are available and this is the only way one can see these tribes. Very basic camps are available and a few days spent in these regions can lead to valuable insight into the lives of primitive Africans. White-water rafting on the river Omo is highly satisfying.
Africa is thus an assimilation of sights that tickles the palate of the compulsive traveler. More and more people are now realising the importance of traveling to places in Africa as an essential part of their voyages abroad. After all life is not all about traveling in subways, eating at Mac's or experiencing some dizzying rides in Disneyland!
