Cameroon now has a call center for abused women in our society: Just call 243 425 668.

According to UN Women West and Central Africa article (December 04, 2014), During the 16 Days Campaign to end violence against women in Cameroon, representative of the International Telecommunications Union (IUT) Mr. Jean Jacques Massima said: gender-based violence (GBV) can be effectively eliminated in Cameroon if ICT tools are adequately exploited for the benefit of women and girls. “The use of ICTs must respect professional and ethical standards,” Mr Massima told to hundreds of participants at a UN Women Cameroon forum styled “Gender Café 6” in Douala, Cameroon’s economic capital. The event that held under the theme “The Role of ICT in preventing GBV in Cameroon” was also graced by the official opening of a GBV Call Center for survivors in the Littoral region.

Across the globe, millions of people were dressed in orange in November entring December; to symbolise a world free from violence against women and girls. Revisiting the official statement of UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon, UN Women Representative and Country Director Mrs Rachelle Mian Djangone said women and girls experience violence in all countries and neighbourhoods but these crimes often remain unreported and hidden. “We must end the silence. That is why this year’s International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women is centred on a grassroots effort to raise awareness called Orange Your Neighbourhood,” according to Mr. Ban’s statement.

In a bid to mitigate risks faced by women in Cameroon, UN Women Cameroon has established a toll-free Call Center in the Littoral, one of the country’s most vulnerable regions to gender-based violence. The UN entity has also rolled out several strategies to end violence against women including a Gender Café and the training of journalists.

This Saturday, Nigerian military intercepted a Russian plane loaded with large amount of arms

The Nigerian military has intercepted a Russian plane loaded with large amount of arms and ammunition, bound for neighbouring Chad, a security source has told PREMIUM TIMES

The plane was seized early Saturday at the Aminu Kano International Airport. The aircraft, which was headed for N’djamena, the capital of Chad, landed in Kano at about 2a.m. Nigerian time, the source said. All crew members of the aircraft have been detained by Nigerian forces pending further investigations.

I will like to end by saying good job to the Nigerian security force and system. For a long time now Boko Haram has been a threat to our national security through the Nigerian border. This is indeed sign that measures have been implemented and are executed as required. Many are wondering about the fundings of Boko haram? well lets not look further as this may just be the break though in cracking down the real criminals behind it all.

Thanks to Government intervention in Cameroon, babies are now born HIV-free

Cameroon News: Eventhough HIV remains a critical public health problem in Cameroon with about more than 570,409 people infected, mother to child transmission was still a big challenge in 2010, but has now reduced considerably as new studies reveal. Credit to the interventions of the government's commitment to eliminate new HIV infections among children and to keep their mothers alive by 2015. Through support from UNICEF and other partners the government developed an evidence-informed plan aimed at MTCT elimination. And to eliminate MTCT UNICEF partners with civil society organizations to supplement community mobilization activities and supports capacity building of counsellors and staff for stronger counselling services in every District Maternity Hospital.

Annual Show Fashion Week 2014 has started

Cameroon is gradually innovating and establishing itself as the fashion hub of the Central African sub-region. The flagship event of this hub is ofcourse the Annual Show Fashion Week 2014, which is the first fashion festival in Cameroon, aiming at becoming the first sub-Sahara African festival of style and fashion for black models.

In this year's event which has already started, Designers, model and African artists from Abidjan, Dakar, Douala, Yaoundé and France; just to name a few, have started converging in Douala so as to put on a one of kind show. Throughout this week, Douala will experience a buoyancy that will spread even beyond the national borders  via international media coverage.  

The presence of media outlets such as Fashion TV UK, CCTV, France 24, Africa Magic and rfi not to forget bloggers at this years event will propel Cameroon as the centre for the renaissance of Africa fashion strongly influenced by its culture. 

Hosted at the luxurious St. Johns Plaza, the 7th edition of the Annual Show Fashion Week is enhanced by many sponsoring partnerships like: MTN Cameroon, Tangui, Camair-Co; just to name a few. 

Grégroire Piwelé, who is a great supporter and promoter of this event and of fashion in the sub-region, as well as his team are braving numerous challenges so that the festival finally becomes annual just as its name suggest. 

Is Tunisia ready to accept a female president? ..!!

Is Tunisia ready for a female President: well time will tell…! Kalthoum Kannou, Tunisia’s first female presidential candidate was among only three women to dare to practice their constitutional right in running for presidency, but Judge Kalthoum Kannou has recently made history as the first female presidential candidate in modern-day Tunisia, marking yet another milestone for the “cradle” of the Arab Spring country.

A judge in the Court of Cassation, the highest court in the Tunisian judiciary system chiefly responsible for verifying the interpretation of the law, Kannou is Tunisia’s first woman to seek a post higher than that of a parliamentarian.

Aiming to be the world’s first “Tunisian, Arab, Muslim, female president,” Kannou was able to garner more than 15,000 nominations from across the country while fielding her candidacy and is currently touring Tunisia for her electoral campaign competing against 24 men.

Female parliamentary candidates in Tunisia hope the country's impending legislative polls, in which women will account for over half of the registered voters, will improve the image of the role played by women in the nascent democracy.

18 years since the dead of Africa's most brilliant artists from Cameroon

Today we celebrate 18years since Kotto Bass primaturely left us at age 33; this was on the 20th November 1996 right about when the Cameroon's 1972 constitution was amended; allowing SE Paul Biya to run for another term (the 3rd).

NYAMSI KOTTO Auger Théodore aka Kotto Bass is one of the most brilliant artists in Africa of his generation though his star just started to shine. An immense and never-to-be-forgetten talent. 

Unforgetable as his three albums he left to posteriry. From Edith Ndola'a Ngo to Soukous fusion, which continue to be listened these days as well as Edith, Concours de patience, Oke Mado, Papa Promesse, Folo Folo, J'aime tout le monde, and Bamenda. Songs still sung by fans who are still crying the lost of a bassist with a magic and singular touch.

African Union To End Conflict In Africa By 2020

The African Union (AN), has reiterated its commitment to silence guns in Africa and achieve good governance, democracy and sustainable peace on the continent by 2020.

The decision was taken in Dakar, Senegal, recently during the Union's 3rd Annual High Level Dialogue on Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance in Africa.

The Dialogue held under the theme; "Silencing the Guns: Strengthening Governance to Prevent, Manage and Resolve Conflict In Africa." The AU has set 2020 as its target for silencing guns on the continent in a bid to deepen the post-Cold War Peace dividend  among member State and as part of the African Agenda framework.

Nigeria's former President Olusegun Obasanjo

The commitment comes on the sidelines of violent protests in Burkina Faso that have ousted President Blaise Compaore. A situation which Nigeria's former President Olusegun Obasanjo, said was regrettable. "It is a regrettable situation because Africa ought to have passed this situation and it is a real democratic regression for the Burkinabe," stated Obasanjo.

During the opening ceremony, Senegal's Minister of African Integration and Good governance, Khadim Diop, remarked ; "violence in Africa constitute a new threat for the continent. The theme of this  dialogue shows that the causes of violence in Africa emanate from bad governance," Diop stated.

According to participants, sustainable development cannot be achieved under violent conflicts that generate insecurity and political instability. 

The main objective  of the 3rd High Level Dialogue was to explore the root causes of conflicts in Africa and propose policy measures through which governance systems can be strengthened to address violent conflicts on the continent. 

AU commissioner for Political Affairs Dr Aisha Laraba Abdullahi

According to the AU commissioner for Political Affairs Dr Aisha Abdullahi, Africa has registered the highest number of displaced person and 40 000 others could die as they attempt to sail across the oceans for safety. 

Olusegun Obasanjo said African leaders are very sensitive on issues concerning conflicts evasion. He then suggested that positions should be proposed to former Heads of States in order to prevent them from hanging on to power.

'There are even director position in the AU University where we have chosen to appoint these Presidents while waiting for calm in their countries or find them other jobs in missions" said Obasanjo.

He remarked that the prolonged violent conflicts in Africa have registered a significant loss of live, retarded economic development and environmental degradation and moreover,  slowed  democratisation.

The dialogue  was convened by the African Union Commission (AUC), in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Africa Governance Institude (AGI), the Government of the Republic of Senegal and supported by Germany through the Deutsche Gesellschaft Für Internationale Zusammenarbeit, GIZ.

Yve Michel Fotso Pleads Not Guilty

After spending several years in jail already, the former General Manager of Cameroon Airline CAMAIR, Yve Michel Fotso, before the Special Criminal Court in Yaounde on November 6th, still pleaded not guilty.

Fotso pleaded not guilty to charges of froudulently obtaining the sun of FCFA 18.9 billion sometimes between year 2000 and 2002. 

The suit brought against by CAMAIR Liquidation Committee spelled out that the said sum comprised of FCFA 4051209866; FCFA 4606130515; FCFA8934203742, which was compensation for the famous Boeing 747 'Combi' aircraft as well as FCFA 1400000000 that represented the value of the wreck aircraft. 

After consultating both parties, Justice Francis Moukoun adjourned the hearing to December 9th, 2014, to give the Legal Department enough time to serve its witnesses.  When the presiding judge, Justice Moukoun, demanded the list from both parties, the Advocate General, Claude Taghim of the Legal Department, tendered a six-witness list which the civil claimants, Barister Ngango Ottou and Barrister Epassi also adopted. 

However, the defence lawyers, Barristers Martin Achet and Alex Mandeng, prior to this proceeding submitted to the panel of judges (Justice Jean Claude Michel Onana and Justice Yvette Siewethet) a notice stating that the defence will call for no witness throughout the court proceedings.

More on the court decision is to be unfolded as the proceedings continue...

Movie Review: The dramatic movie “FAR”

Premire Review: 

On the 1st of November 2014, Far the movie was premiered for the 2nd time at BOJ, Bonanjo Douala. This was a glamerous event pulling people from different proffessional background. 

It was an event full of inspiring fashion choices, outrageous outfits, and memorable moments on the red carpet. Details proved to be key with Cameroon celebs embracing trends like peplums, cut-out accents, capes, sheer paneling, ruffles, and other distinct forms of embellishment.

Punk was given the unique opportunity to go hand-in-hand with glamour as demostrated by Brenda Shey the most powerful woman in the Cameroon film industry, while peplums and sheer accents still managed to find traction. 

Movie review: 

The dramatic movie “FAR” is a co-production between Cameroon and Nigeria. Directed by Nigerian Ikechuwu Oyaka and produced by Cameroonian Agbor Gilbert Ebot. Far the movie is base on a poignant true story of how far a couple is willing to go in their desperacy to start a family.

It features a starring ensemble cast from Africa and USA: which includes Multiple awards winning Dakore Akonde and Jim Iyke from Nigeria; the USAfrica International Heritage Actress and NAFCA awards year 2012 Merlisa Determined; Cameroonian Quinta Eyong Ashu, Sende Bende, Solange Ojong, Epule Jeffrey Jeff, Memba Lucie and Ian van Ivan.

Without giving too much away, there is a lot I liked in the movie FAR. It is the most perfect iced with the cast working well together in a believable way. There are many cries with quite a few melodramatic twists. It becomes believable at times, with the slow plot revealing itself as though it was an investigative story:- making the movie interesting. In my opinion, this movie could easily have been like  a"CSI" investigation.

I am pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed FAR the movie. The expectations of Merlisa Determined was well delivered and I strongly believe such performance was well leveraged with other strong contenders: Dakore and Epule Jeffery. 

With this, it is no doubt all involved in this film making thrived on directing such a big cast in a high wire, and deceitful family story. The marination between Merlisa Determined and Epule jeffery were a hoot. This movie is a smooth big screen transition for all Cameroonian actors cast who may have struggled with other movies in the past. However I strongly felt Jim Ike wasn't fully utilised as he should have; myself and others who attended the premiere shared the same feelings. To my shock, my favourite performance (it caught me off guard) was Epule Jefferey from Cameroon. He was the husband handling various issues and at the centre of a contagious deceit. People who deal with the drama of conspiracy from families will surely appreciate this movie. 

Reaction from the crowd at the premiere: 

At the premiere, there were half a dozen applause moments from audience as the crowd really got into it. The laughter was consistent and not forced. This movie is perfect and I’m only giving this a marginal recommendation based on how much I liked it. FAR is a movie that will draw a continuous division between audience and critics; as it is a story dealing with sensitive issues…just like the dysfunctional family gathering together and having to decieve all so as to put up with each other.

According to the director Agbor Gilert, Far the movie will be launched in Beau soon, South West region of Cameroon.So watch out for another mind blowing red carpet momment.


For the past two months Cameroon has experinced series of movie premieres between the political capital Yaounde and economical capital Douala. This has indeed created awareness of the Cameroon film industry nationally and beyond.

I will like to say thank you to the Agbor Gilbert, Brenda Shey and others for working so hard in making sure our film industry transcend international recognition.

Actress Merlisa Determined in Cameroon this weekend for the Grand Premiere of the movie FAR

Yes it is indeed confirmed, she will be in Cameroon people..!!! Seriously, do you really want to miss that red carpet date with Merlisa Determined at the GRAND PREMIERE of the movie FAR? think again. Merlisa Determined Langellier is her full name. Born in the Caribbean Islands. The love she has for the arts inspired her to start acting. She says “the challenge of being able to become someone else other than myself and making it as believable as possible, created a fascination within me.”

With a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and minor in Psychology, the award winning actress has been involved in movie projects outside that, such as “The Other Side of Love”, ” African Connections”, “The Land”, “As I Die Slowly”, “Page 36″, “Nicki A Hip Hop Love Story” starring alongside Hollywood Actor Clifton Powell. She is currently filming “False Engagements”. After so many nominations from “Nations of Pan African Awards”, “Golden Icon Academy Movie Award” and “Nollywood African Film Critics Awards”., she finally got recognized for her work and has received the USAfrica International Heritage Actress of the year 2012 Award, and the 2012 NAFCA award for Best Docu-Drama In Diaspora Film.

Each year, on the 20th of October, members of the World Association of Chefs Societies (WACS) celebrate International Chefs Day.

The 2014 International Chefs Day theme comes with a twist and is named: PASS IT ON. This theme aims to potentiate the importance of knowledge and skills exchange, while underlining communication, open-minded approach and action for a cause, as one of the key elements to achieve sustainable development, preserve Chefs legacy, and nevertheless – make a good deed.

On this day, chefs around the world celebrate their profession and take the opportunity to not only promote the organization (WACS) but also goodwill and friendship amongst each other, as well as taking the time to help people who are less fortunate.

It is also a day on which to assist the young chefs but, most importantly, the day when we recognize the very important role that chefs play in our societies, for we have a great responsibility not only to feed, but also to give nourishment.

Chefs have the responsibility to lead the way when it comes to the use of ingredients in a sensible and responsible manner. Since the International Chef's Day inauguration in 2004, many events have taken place around the world to benefit charitable organizations and disadvantaged communities; this has highlighted that chefs are caring people and has worked to improve their image.

Winnie Madikizela-Mandela is challenging Mandela's last will and testament to gain ownership of his Qunu property

Winnie's lawyer Mvuzo Notyesi said the annex of the allerged forged marriage certificate was still to be investigated by the legal team.

On the other hand, Ismail Ayob, Mandela’s former lawyer who was at the centre of the divorce proceedings, has maintained his silence over the matter; for now we hope.

But royal family member Daludumo Mtirara said Madikizela-Mandela’s claims were not recognised by the royal family. “Her actions are opportunistic. She is hell-bent on denting Dalibhunga’s (Mandela’s praise name) good name and his legacy. We will not allow that to happen. She is an ex-wife,” he said.

Well this is my take on this: I dont agree with Winnie on this, even if she is right or not. If she had ever loved Madiba then I think all surrounding him should be left in peace. Such will only dent his LEGACY. Why did she not claim for this when he was still alive. She has had all this time to make the most of her status and eventaully money in the process of her fame. This means, I believe she has accumulated enough wealth to this day. Please respect your ex husband and believe me or not you should use your ever association with him as a means to empower others and become a great person yourself with legacy for all to remember

Malala Yousafzai, Youngest Nobel Peace Prize Winner

Malala Yousafzai, 17, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize this year, along with India's Kailash Satyarthi, 60, for their struggles against the suppression of children and for young people's rights, including the right to education.

Since recovering from surgery, Yousafzai has taken her campaign to the global stage, especially with a speech at the United Nations last year.

In early 2009, when she was only 11, Yousafzai blogged anonymously for the BBC about life under the Taliban. And in October 2012, she survived an assassination attempt by a Taliban gunman.

Today she is the youngest Nobel Prize winner.
