Chimamanda's ultimatum to President Jonathan about Boko Haram national security threat

Boko Haram threat to national and continental security contunues to make social media headlines. The awards winning writter Chimamanda (Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie) is asking President Jonathan to be utterly consumed by the state of security in Nigeria. Chimamanda has a strong attachment with the Northern part of Nigeria. As she explained in one of her twits yesterday, some of her relatives lived for decades in Kano, and Bornu. They speak fluent Hausa. In fact, one of her relative taught her at the age of eight, to count in Hausa. She believes the northern people need to be protected from these vandasl. Such stories are also shared by many other celebrities like her.

The situation with Biko Haram in Africa is seriously taking a worst turn and putting everyone into a panic state. Are we safe at all these days?

A police officer and a detainee were shot dead overnight in an attack suspected to be Boko Haram. The police unit in northern Cameroon was attacked on Monday says a security source. 

“Boko Haram attacked the unit in the night. (The attackers) were looking for a detained member. They left with him and with other people who were in the same cell,” said the source, who asked not to be named.

The big  Big Earth Awards news conference took place yesterday Monday  7th April, 11 am at the British Language institute Akwa. It was a panel of four peoples: Emmanuel (the moderator),  Ojong Solange (the president) and Nadine Tonguem (Inspired humanitarian activist and blogger).

Before I go further, I will love to urge you all in joining this train waggon in support of The Big Earth Award for the forgotten. Our Cameroon labour force  is dominated by the informal sector making up to 80% of the total labour force. This is huge...! but what is alarming here is, these people who contribute so much to the economic are most ofter forgotten due the type of degrading jobs they have do to feed their families. 

The people in this sector have one thing only in their mind: that is providing three square meals to their children, but little do they know they contribute to the bigger society . This is where the BIG EARTH AWARDS  comes in. It empowers them. Makes them recognise they are leaders in their own right. 

Minister Louis Bapes Bapes graces headline news again

Picture of Minister Louis Bapes Bapes leaving jail

 Like I said in my previous post, Louis Bapes Bapes is the first ever sitting Minister to be taken to custody since the beginning of the Sparrow Hawk operation . According to Cameroon media, he is now known to be the first ever suspect not only to to be charged, placed in custody at the Kondengui prison but also to be released twenty-four hours later. This sudden and abrupt released did not only surprised many but generated many questions.

Wednesday 2nd April 2014, the Minister of Secondary Education: Louis Bapes Bapes resumed work looking very serene but made no declaration yet.

However, the Minister of Communication, Issa Tchiroma in a brief declaration, stated that the embezzlement case against the Minister of Secondary Education has not been dropped. He will still be required to answer questions but not from the Kondengui prison. 

He also added that, the short detention and eventual release is within the confines of the law. And that competent authorities of the Special Criminal Court have the prerogative to detain and release a suspect whenever they think it is necessary.
