Errance Mentale: when we believe it, we'll see it.

Dear Friends, It is with unbridled excitement that I write this mail to you today to share the news about the brightness of Cameroon's future. Like the majority of Cameroonians, it was with dismay, near despair that I watched as the movement to change our constitution surged from within the ranks of the CPDM party. It seemed like the most unreasonable thing to do, yet, it was done. If you are reading this today, and you were born after November 6, 1982, then you probably may confuse the name Paul Biya for Presidency of Cameroon. I was a young man, in my teen years when Biya was sworn in as the next President of Cameroon after El Hadj Hamadou Ahidjo , the former President suddenly resigned. From the walls of College Bilingue d'Application (now Lycee ) classroom, we could see the Palais des Verres , the National Assembly, where Paul Biya was sworn into office by Hon. Solomon T. Muna . From that point forward to this day, Mr. Biya's Presidency, has raised in us em...

I have read with a lot of interest, the reactions to quibids. I write as one who is disgruntled, but more ashamed of my gullibility as I assumed fair game will be played. I am a business person and a teacher, so I know fairness and I can say I am slightly above avergae when it comes to being smart. I have used ebay, amazon, newegg, graigslist and others to buy and sell just about anything from cars to screws. I went to the quibids sight to "see" how it is possible that people could win items for pennies. I must concede that the temptation to "save" money is very strong with tighter budgets and so too is the vulnerability. It all started with $48. That was my price to pay to join and or start bidding. I found this odd, but the excitement of what I could win abated my fears and all the bells that had started rigning in my head. I decided to follow the website's advice on bidding on high profile items like the ipads and laptops. I didn't believe it was possible...

In a recent game played by Cameroon and Tunisia, both nations were unable to convince their supporters of their superiority. As a fan of the Cameroon National Footbal team, I am always disappointed by a loss or a draw of 2:2 as when Cameroon and Tunisia played recently. Cameroon seems to have led the way for the African continent in football, dominating teams like Nigeria and Tunisia. Football, the world' most popular sport is glorified in Africa, and Cameroon and Tunisia are no exceptions. Besides sports in general and football in particular, one may think that there is very little both these nations share in common. Tunisia, in the North of Africa, for about 15 years enjoyed the status of an economically vibrant country with poverty curbed to 3.8% in 2005 from 7.4% in 1990. Cameroon on the other hand is in West Central Africa and besides missing the semi-finals of the FIFA world cup in Italy in the summer of 1990, has not had any particularly good news in any sector. Both Tunis...
