Sometimes it is the leadership that provides guidance and takes the initiative that can put in place a democratic structure or system, or, on the other hand , the demands of the people from the grassroots who aspire to live in a democratic  society" "The world has become very competitive and thus to attract investors , we must create a business- friendly enviroment that promotes private sector development".  Dr. Christopher Fomunyoh’s “The Cameroon of Tomorrow: The Man in his Words” can now be obtained in Germany.

Dear wonderful readers. We want to use this occasion to say thank you. Thank you for the sweet words of encouragement ,thank you all for the inbox messages and patience. We have been having our hands full lately, but after the short break we are back on deck and we appreciate your loyalty. Nothing would be more tiresome than eating and drinking if God had not made them a pleasure as well as a necessity.  ~Voltaire We aim at bringing you not only food to nourish your beautiful souls but also food to nourish the body. We have on board a new Comrade Ma'a Jacka. The one and only and the  original.  She will be bringing to you all a taste of African cuisine in French and English. Our aim is not just to bring a new dimension to African cuisine but also to make it easy for everyone  to have African dishes regularly on our tables. With little techniques and ingredients we find here in Germany, a whole transformation can take place. We also aim at using this platform t

“Cameroonians are intelligent and dynamic people. I believe they would rise up any time they are presented with viable alternatives and platform that reflects visionary leadership; anchored in programs that can impact positively on their wellbeing. In today’s Cameroon, the desire for meaningful change is palpable; it is across the board, even among many who carry ruling party banners. There is no doubt that 50 years after independence, everyone recognizes the need for a renewal of the country’s political leadership.”

Bimbia A forest hillside steeply descending into a thicket of bamboo. Treading on a carpet of silvery dried bamboo leaves, we are on our way to an ancient slave site. The footpath is flanked by majestic bamboo plants whose leaves are woven into an airy dome far above us. A strangely ethereal silence envelopes us as all noise is filtered through the thicket of trees. After about ten minutes we arrive at the site. Below in the clearing there is a scatter of makeshift huts and, beyond the bustle of ordinary people, barely dressed in rags of woven material, a handful of men, women and children. Some have angry red gashes on their bare arms and backs. Others are chained to the derelict structures of the ruins. Rows of plastic chairs and a modern set of speakers give it away: the Cultural Festival has been moved to Bimbia today and, in memory of the sad history of the place, a play is about to be performed. Telling the story of a chief who betrays his villagers and trades th

Limbe A friend once told me that the Anglophone part of Cameroon was like a different world from the rest of the country. I did not believe him then. Coming in on the road from Douala, we cross into the Southwest. The roads look newly tarred and tidy. The ditches are uncluttered. The traffic is moving in an orderly fashion. The taxis are neat.  A different world!

A page been created to sensitize and provide current information on the Ebola Crisis affecting part of West Africa (Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Liberia, and Guinea) today and now gradually spreading into central Africa (DR Congo). Lives have been lost, families in dismay, a whole continent in fear. The intention is to channel our resources and get others interested, through networking in our circles, in order to tap into appropriate expertise and possibly engage in a joint venture so as to harness our respective capacities and activities to other ongoing initiatives and programs.

BUSHFALLER – NOW I AM The Bushfaller experience, a trap with perks, Call me stupid, call me native, but someone should have told us sooner, That it’s good enough to live in two seasons And there we were, thinking four was better?  

Betwixt and between 2 cultures! In psychology , identity may be defined as the distinctive characteristic belonging to any given individual, or shared by all members of a particular social category or milieu. Nevertheless, the formation of this identity occurs through one's identifications with significant others; primarily with parents and other individuals during one ’ s biographical experiences, and also with 'milieu' as they are perceived.

Dear readers, on again at a unique occasion. Just like most of you out there, I have been contemplating what this blog is all about and what it means or should mean to you and me. I must confess that I ended up with more questions than answers. Nevertheless, I thought it would be nice to share an idea OUR column "Inspiring Faces of our time or Great men of our time". Of course, when we call men and women 'great', we do so to honour some idea, principle or belief they have displayed either in action or in the words they have expressed. These actions or words must have had tremendous effect either in us, or we must have observed the effects on others with great enthusiasm.
