πŸ‡±πŸ‡· : Sept. 1, DenG's Birthday πŸŽ‚

Daniel George who is known professionally as DenG is a Liberian singer and songwriter born Sept. 1, 1984 in B**g, Liberia.

He started his music career in 2000 as an R&B artist before making a guest appearance on Emma Smith's single "I Want to Go". DenG rose to prominence after being featured on Queen V's 2013 hit single "Jue You Bad". Following the success of "Jue You Bad", he switched from R&B to Afro pop.

He developed an interest in music at a young age and joined his church's choir. DenG's family relocated to Ghana during Liberia's second civil war; he attended Achimota School while living in Ghana. DenG returned to Liberia and studied business at the United Methodist University. He started his music career as an R&B artist before venturing into Afro pop music. In 2014, he released the single "They Vex", a song that addresses the jealousy associated with fame and recognition.

DenG collaborated with F.A and Soul Fresh to record "Ebola is Real", a hipco track that informs Liberians about ways they can protect and prevent the spread of Ebola. In 2015, DenG won Artist of the Year and Song of the Year for "They Vex".
DenG signed a $50,000 endorsement deal with Novafone Liberia, a GSM carrier. He released "Kemah" in 2015; it earned him a nomination for Best New Artist at the African Entertainment Awards that same year.
DenG was nominated for Listener's Choice at the 2016 MTV Africa Music Awards, becoming the first Liberian artist to receive a MAMA nomination. In late 2016, he performed alongside Christoph the Change, Kcee and Tekno at Beach Jam, a concert sponsored by Lonestar Cell. On June 9, 2017, DenG released the Sarkodie-assisted track "Janjay", which was jointly produced by Liberia's Stone Luckshine and Ghana's Possigee. Described as a Liberian highlife song, "Janjay" contains lyrics about a girl's dream. Prior to the song's release, DenG enlisted Kcee to appear on his track "Make Dem Talk". In July 2017….

Aug 31, πŸ‡°πŸ‡¬ Kyrgyzstan: Independence Day

Independence Day is a public holiday in Kyrgyzstan observed on 31st August. This is Kyrgyzstan's National Day and commemorates independence from the Soviet Union on 31 August 1991.

After the Russian revolution, the country became part of the Soviet Union, going through different national statuses until 5 December 1936, when the Kirghiz Soviet Socialist Republic became a full republic of the Soviet Union. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union; on 31 August, 1991, an extraordinary session of the Supreme Soviet of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan adopted a resolution on the "Declaration on State Independence of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan". This meant the Kyrgyz Republic was declared a sovereign state, with the country gaining independent statehood for the first time in history.

πŸ‡±πŸ‡· π——π—œπ—— 𝗬𝗒𝗨 π—žπ—‘π—’π—ͺ: Hilary Richard Wright Johnson was the first Liberian president who referred to himself as the "Son of the Soil".

Hilary Johnson was the first Liberian president to be born in Africa (Liberia). For this, Hilary often referred to himself as The Son of the Soil.

He was the 11th president of the Republic of Liberia serving from January 7, 1884 to January 4, 1892. He was elected four (4) times! Did you know….? 😳

Johnson was the first Liberian president born in Africa, marking a shift from Americo-Liberians born in the United States to those native to the Liberian soil.

Before and during his presidency, Johnson was deeply involved in academia as an educator, professor, and journalist. He taught at the Liberian College, (now University of Liberia), he also edited the Liberian Herald, and advocated for expanding education to include indigenous students in all parts of the country.

Johnson's presidency unfolded during the Scramble for Africa, and he faced intense pressure from European colonial powers. In 1885, under British pressure and with U.S. counsel, he agreed to the annexation of the Gallinas territory, formalized via the Havelock Draft Convention, which established the Mano River as the boundary with Sierra Leone. Wow! 😯

He also encountered French claims on territories beyond the Cavalla River, although some negotiations extended beyond his tenure.

Johnson’s administration stood for Liberian sovereignty against foreign encroachment, though support from the United States was limited. As European powers eyed inland expansion, periodic appearances by U.S. warships offered informal deterrence, despite Washington’s reluctance to become strongly involved.

He also sought to extend Liberian governance into the hinterland, improving relations with indigenous populations and asserting Liberia's presence beyond the coastal areas.

After leaving office in 1892, Johnson turned to farming, particularly coffee production and later served as Postmaster General.

He later died in 1901 at the age of 64.
