By Raymond Dingana 77-year-old Mama Lum Monica has not had a sound sleep for years ever since her husband died some time ago and was long abandoned to herself in Bafut, Northwest region of Cameroon. What she called a bed was nothing close to a bed meant for humans to sleep on. She has been in that condition for a long time before Hon. Agho Oliver of the Bafut-Tubah Contituency came to her aid. Mama Lum from Njibujang-Bafut could not catch the tears of joy and excitement that rolled down her cheeks when she met with the new house equipment gifted by Agho Oliver, Member of Parliament (MP) for the Bafut/Tubah constituency.

By Raymond Dingana It was a day described by many as  catastrophic and scary for travellers along the Bamenda-Ndop road as they came face to face with frightful looking young men heavily armed. A day that will remain indelible in the minds of those who set out for Ndop and beyond and met eye-to-eye with gun carrying men suspected to be Ambazonia fighters.

Colbert Gwain Nji Ignatius is Bamenda-based journalist working for one of Cameroon's leading weeklies, Eden newspaper.  He just returned from Douala after a business trip. He complains  they arrived the Matazem border at 4a.m and only succeeded in filing past the two security cordons after a four hours delay.  Hyperblically, that's almost the amount of time Africans trying to cross the Mexican border into the United States, take.  Matazem Border Crossing Since the outbreak of the conflict in the two English Speaking Regions, Defense Ministry Officials erected stiff security belts on both sides of the Matazem crossing.  Vehicles arriving from East Cameroon are obliged to wait until 6.30a.m before security officials who are usually not in a hurry, begin screening from one passenger to the other and from one bus to another. Come to think of the fact that of the six accredited travel agencies plying the Bamenda-Yaounde, Bamenda-Douala, and Bamenda-Buea/Limbe roads, each of them lo

Ntumfor Bar. Nico Halle By Colbert Gwain   When renowned French philosopher and foremost thinker, Victor Hugo posited that the greatest most singular source of positive energy was an idea whose time had come, many thought he was just celebrating the transition from Agrarian to industrial revolution, or better still, signalling the inevitable age of the millenials.  He could've just as well been capturing the spirit of all those who turned out in Douala last February 25, 2022, to impress on Ntumfor Barrister Nico Halle to begin seeing into it that the beliefs, values and principles he has incarnated throughout his life, and especially within the last 30 years, be officially canalized into an institution. It couldn't have been any other person than the equally no-nonesense President of the South West House of Chiefs and speaker of truth to power, Chief Atem Ebako, to birth the idea that by diligently and meticulously moving from humble beginnings to becoming a human resource and
