::: Land in Sicht ... Land in sight :::


 Seeking Asylum is hard business. The chances of being granted asylum are slim. One has to survive all the same. It’s a hard struggle…the search for a “better life”


This is one interesting real life story. A documentary; on Abdul, Brian und Farad’s search for a “greener pasture, in the small town Belzig in the German region of Brandenburg. Their imaginations clashes with reality. Sorry it’s in German. 

Brian got my interest because he is from Cameroon – he worked on a banana plantation in Cameroon and considers himself a fighter. He suffers from the common misconception that once you make it from Africa to Germany; you are already a “made man”. The opposite is true, he says, and smiles without a sign of self-pity, which is also how the entire film Land in Sicht looks at the phenomenon of seeking asylum in Germany. 

Try to Watch it if you can. Don’t have an official link will do so when I have one.

For sure, your mum did tell you, life was a bed of Roses…but if you forgot to listen to the part she mentioned that roses do have thorns…then you are in deep s**t.


Ps: I really appreciate your comments!
Love you all.

Every woman, in my opinion, whether tall or short, pretty, fat or thin, rich or poor, is unique in her own way; she just has not figured that out yet. Trying to live the life of another woman will only get you confused and depressed. We were all made differently and have different paths to follow.  We come across lots of people in our daily lives; through social Medias, behind our screens, by coincidence etc. and admire them. Of course it’s OK and but

:::“Constitution without constitutionalism" Dr. Christopher Fomunyoh:::

A few years ago, Lapiro de Mbanga (RIP) got Cameroonians buzzing with hope and optimism to the tunes of “Constipated Constitution” and, last week, the socio-political consciousness of Africans in Freiburg and Cameroonians in particular was aroused by the “Constitution without constitutionalism” and “democracy without democrats” message delivered by Dr. Christopher Fomunyoh. The event took place at the Albert-Ludwigs-University of Freiburg, where he was invited by the department of political sciences as a guest lecturer.
