Laquintinie Hospital of Douala has a new director after the scandal

Laquintinie Hospital of Douala has a new director after the scandal. I am sorry but how is this suppose to change anything.  We need change in health care procedures certainly not people paying innocently for a crime commited by the system. Please Cameroon authorities stop misleading the world..!!!

The former director of Laquintinie hospital was  replaced this Tuesday, April 12, by Professor Louis Richard Njock, previously director of the Regional Hospital Annex Edea.

Laquintinie Hospital of Douala has a new director. Prof. Louis Richard Njock appointed to the post by decree of the Prime Minister, Head of Government, signed Tuesday, April 12, 2016. Previously Director of the Regional Hospital Annex Edea in the Littoral, he takes over from Dr. Jean II Dissongo who had spent four years between (April 2012 - April 2016).

Prof. Louis Richard Njock thus arrives at the head of this structure when the Cameroonian hospital environment is shaken by scandals and evils which led the MOH to take a number of measures for the management of patients in health facilities.

The fight is on between two Cameroonian artists Richard Bona and Mbella

I genuinely believe Cameroonians have lost it+. Richard Bona is cameroonian by birth and has now gained an american citizenship whereas Mbella is Cameroonian by birth and nationality. To me honestly I think in the future this whole thing of dual nationality will be use as a weapon by some dictators and their followers in building resistance to democratic changes. Because if not what the hell is this head on combat all about? Simple jealousy? Or may be because  this is the first time anyone is truely standing up to an expired regime and sticking to the values they have acquired during their stay in a democratic world; which is of course proper democracy. ..! Should people now stop acquiring other nationality if they really wish one day to return home and contribute to the betterment of the country??? Let's not forget Ndedi Eyango suffered the same faith at the ministry of culture...I think this issue should be a fruit for thought for us all.

Well whether it’s on the double issue of dual nationality or the debate on political change in Cameroon, the author of the correspondence below says Richard Bona is an American who should shut up. Please read the whole correspondence saga and let me know what you really think...

Educational: Uniqueness in Blogging: uniqueness amount Cameroonian bloggers

Dear friends and fellow bloggers I must express my joy for the proliferation of Cameroon blogs and bloggers. I remember when I started this adventure in 2009 I could bearly post my articles on my personal facebook page. I rather at the time stick to my server comunity which was wordpress and Google Blogger. Infact as a Cameroonian I was ashamed of calling myself a blogger among ourself; but this wasn't the case when in the midst of Western friends and those from Asia; I felt they were the only one who understood this culture. But then one day I got encouragely kicked in the butt when an african blogger made it to Forbes #lindaijekiblog and one other from South Africa (which was obvious). However I still felt a stranger; but today I say it no more; as I am amoung many of "my own". Monetising for your blog and eventually maybe making it to Forbes shouldn't the fundermental reason; but rather passion should be...!

Meet the Ghanaian pastor driving Africa’s car industry

I cannot start this article without quoting Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah´s famous words: ´The black man is capable (of managing his own affairs),´´ and there is absolute truth in the cliché: ´´Wonders shall never end.´´ Growing up as a little Ghanaian boy, I always learnt in school about some of the world´s greatest inventors who were mostly whites. This undoubtedly contributed to our westernised indoctrination, because it implied that the whites are super-humans. And the black man was always associated with the ills of society in a mischievous manner.

 

Ghanaian pastor – Apostle Kwadwo Safo

Why is the African the only person on earth who apparently cannot (or does not) make a car from scratch – from foundation to finishing – except for assembling parts manufactured by others or repairing cars made by other people? On the roads of Africa, one finds every car of every make – from Germany, Japan, USA, France, UK, Sweden, Italy, South Korea, Malaysia, China, etc – except a car made in Africa by an African! Does it say something about the African’s mechanical and technological prowess?

Kenya and Tanzania embroiled in a trade feud. Certainly not the first time...

State House Spokesman Manoah Esipisu told reporters in Nairobi that Tanzania was isolated deliberately because it had nothing to do with the issues on the agenda.

"Monday meeting was bilateral. As you know we had also invited oil companies but they did not take part in the meeting," he told journalists.

The two countries agreed to meet again in two weeks after Energy ministry officials from Nairobi and Kampala had finished assessing the viability of various pipeline routes.

Asked to comment on the status of relations between Kenya and Tanzania, Mr Esipisu said the relations were "good, never been better."

17 Activists jailed for Anti-Govt Rebellion

An Angolan court has sentenced 17 youth activists, including a prominent rapper, to between two and eight years in jail for rebelling against the government of President Jose Eduardo dos Santos.

The sentence was handed down on Monday at the end of a lengthy trial in the capital Luanda that the Angolan opposition has said proves the existence of ingrained political repression.

The activists were arrested in June and have always denied the charges against them.

Rapper Luaty Beirao, who went on hunger strike for over a month last year to protest his detention, was given a five-and-a-half year sentence for "rebellion against the president of the republic, criminal association and falsifying documents".

The EX of Cameroonian most successful soccer player fight back

I dont known if I should say this but I really feel for this girl: the EX of Cameroonian most successful soccer player . Just a quick recap: after 7years of relationship, someone decided to publish naked pictures of her on the virtual space. It is however important to note that; the only person in possession of these naked pictures according to her was: the big 9 Eto'o Fils

 Ever since the controversy broke out, the big 9 has dinied any involment in the leakage of these pictures. The exposure of this pictures to the public have since damaged Nathalie's reputation. To fight back, Nathalie Koah decided to write a book which she named "REVENGE PORN". this book was to be published officially the 18th of this month followed by an international book tour. To everyone's greatest supprise the sale in France and Cameroon was suspended following a court decision. Reasons being that; many's privacy were not respected in the book.

Here is my take: In no circumstance should a judge from a developed world refuse the sale of her book under the pretext of infringing Eto'o s privacy; this is crazy. Where has freedom of speech law gone to. Like she said in one of her video published on her official facebook page wall Click here for link, the big 9 need to own up to his part of misconduct and should stop using all means he has to stop her from saying her side of the story. I damp think she is right...


It is no doubt all this media scandal makes me truly feel sorry for Georgette the big 9's official wife. Nevertheless I don't feel sorry for the big 9 himself.  And I think the big 9 should genuinely leave the hell of Natalie Koah alone and or atleast own up to have released those pics of her and eventually appologise.

Although the sale of her book was suspended, she recently traveled  to France to attend series of interviews with reputable TV stations like: France24, BFWTV, le Monde and many others. Not to forget radio stations and interview with multiple french and Cameroon diaspora bloggers. She also got interview with popular magazines such as Closer.

I rekon it is hard to live a life full of persecutions from the public but, from all her posts on her facebook page, she is truely sorry and wishes people; especially younger girls learn from her story and be more careful in life.

Nevertheless she is not ready to stop her battle for justice anytime soon and isnt ready to hide as most want her to. She is strong enough!. To show this, she pasted this quote from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie below:

" We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to girls, you can have ambition, but not too much. You should aim to be successful, but not too successful. Otherwise, you would threaten the man. Because I am female, I am expected to aspire to marriage. I am expected to make my life choices always keeping in mind that marriage is the most important. Now marriage can be a source of joy and love and mutual support but why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage and we don’t teach boys the same? We raise girls to see each other as competitors not for jobs or accomplishments, which I think can be a good thing, but for the attention of men. We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings in the way that boys are . "
