Ntemfac A.N. Ofege’s “To Kill a Killer”: Now Proposed to National and International Audiences

Yaounde – The reviews after a few sneak previews of Ntemfac A.N. Ofege’s "To Kill a Killer" are rave, almost delirious.

"I personally liked the intrigue of the film, its sound and picture quality and the directing," says Mr. Amadou Vamoulke, the General Manager of the Cameroon Radio and Television Corporation, CRTV.

"To Kill a Killer"

"To Kill a Killer,"

The Inner Circle is a vile occultic society, which circles dines on flesh and blood.

The Contentious Article 6:2

Article 6 of Cameroon’s 1996 Constitution states:

(1) The President of the Republic shall be elected by a majority of the votes cast through direct, equal and secret universal suffrage.

(2) The President of the Republic shall be elected for a term of office of 7 (seven) years. He shall be eligible for re-election once.

Namondo

(Child of the Water Spirits)

The river gods dispatch Namondo, a liengu-la-mwanja or water spirit, to the land.

Mission : waste a deadly cult. The twin uses her magic ring to accomplish her task, but tragedy strikes at the last minute. The fearsome ring of the river must return to her son.

Namondo (Child of the Water Spirits) is a refreshingly different take of the perpetual battle between the good, the bad and the ugly.

Namondo’s story races, twists, turns and jumps from one emotion to another until the chilling conflagration on a bewitched train. This is mythology so vivid that it hums with life: powerfully descriptive, awesome, frightening, compelling, delightful, imaginative, penetrating and lingering.

The magic about Ntemfac A.N. Ofege’s impressive narration is this confident ability to weave such a sprightly tale, one combining yesterday and today; the dead and the living; tradition and modernity; scoundrel and righteous deities. Throughout the story, the reader will taste that uproarious extravaganza of Africa- vicious serpents and elephant-doubles.  Namond0 (Child of the Water Spirits) is simply a beautiful story well told.

Move over Things Fall Apart. Here comes the next generation of African writing.

Namondo (Child of the Water Spirits) can be ordered online.

October 1: SCNC Hands Demonstrate in Belgium

France in Africa By Ben Awah

Earlier on in January 2003, France had significantly escalated its 2002 intervention in Côte d’Ivorie, to the west, by reinforcing its overall troops’ deployment to about 4000 and expanding the so-called sandwich territory between it and the forces of the Ivorian state and north-based insurgents. Given the frequency and the tally of its military interventions in Africa since 1960, France has, contrary to prevailing international
perception, the worst record of Northern World power state military intervention in the Southern World.

Southern Cameroons: Stopping A War before it Starts.By Prof. Tatah Mentan.Ph.D. Visiting Professor of Political Science (2005-06) Laurentian University, Sudbury, Ontario, Canada.)

La République

du Cameroun is “a sleeping volcano.” This description has its meaning rooted in the history of what has come to be called the “Anglophone problem” in

Cameroun

. This “problem” can be traced back as far as the partitioning after the First World War of the erstwhile German Kamerun Protectorate (1884-1916) between the French and English victors, first as mandates under the

League of Nations

and later as trusts under the United Nations. The French-and English-speaking

Cameroons

formed an illegal “federal union” in 1961 which is now exploding.

      Why preventive diplomacy? Anglophone-Francophone animosities in

Cameroun

have been raging intermittently since 1961, the year

La République

du Cameroun (French-speaking) simply annexed the

Southern Cameroons

(English-speaking). These animosities, as they run riot, threaten the peace of

Cameroun

frequently. The essence of preventive diplomacy is therefore early warning and timely intervention where this peace is menaced by a typical problem of paternalism. The frequent slaughter of protesting

Southern Cameroons

students and protesters by

La République

du Cameroun forces of annexation is eloquent testimony.

       Preventive diplomacy in this case, to be successful, compels some diplomatic intercession. This intercession requires understanding the sources of an impending conflict and addressing them in time to prevent violent confrontation. Once a conflict has broken out, the immediate need is to address its humanitarian consequences, while seeking an end to the hostilities by addressing the issues that led to the conflict in the first place. Success means restoring peace and creating conditions that are capable of sustaining the achieved peace. The process is therefore circular in that ensuring a lasting solution becomes a preventive measure that should ideally address the sources or causes of the conflict. In

Cameroon

, preventive diplomacy entails the resolution of the conflict created by the annexation of the British

Southern Cameroons

by

La République

du Cameroun.

The Bakassi Story.BY Nowa Omoigui

The Bakassi Story –Part 1- 1884-1949

by Nowa Omoigui

1. When the Obong of Calabar signed a "Treaty of Protection" with

Britain on September 10, 1884 Britain agreed to "extend its protection" to the Obong and his Chiefs. The Obong agreed and promised to refrain from entering into any agreements or treaties with foreign nations or Powers without the prior approval of the British Government. That is, he signed away his Kingdom as a British protectorate. This type of subterfuge was carried out with many of our ancestors. All of this was before "Nigeria" was created. Note too that unlike agreements between metropolitan powers these so called protectorate agreements with African Kingdoms did not have precise definitions of boundaries. On November 15, 1893, Britain and Germany defined their boundaries in Africa , supplemented by another agreement on March 19, 1906. These covered British and German Territories from Yola to Lake Chad.

Lake Nyos:Myths and Realities. By Ntemfac A.N. Ofege

In 1989, when he moved into the Carrefour Bastos neighbourhood in Yaounde, friend and colleague, Charlie Ndichia suddenly discovered that his neighbour was none other than Mr. Jean-Marcel Mengueme, a former minister of Territorial Administration of the Republic of Cameroun. From that minute, we constituted ourselves into Mr. Mengueme’s tormentors. We (Charlie Ndichia and Ntemfac Ofege) would stand up the tiny hill that leads to Mr. Mengueme’s villa and shout, “Mengueme,

Lake

 

Nyos

! Mengueme,

Lake

 

Nyos

!” Our enterprise toned down one hilarious evening when Mr. Mengueme emerged with a pistol and shot in our direction. We were lucky. The man was either a lousy shot or we were going too fast. We had very good reason to torment Mr. Mengueme Jean-Marcel.

Rigging Three Elections in One by Ntemfac AN Ofege

The forgotten factor about the July 22 heavily rigged elections in Cameroun was that Mr. Biya’s party, the Cameroun Peoples Democratic Movement, achieved the groundbreaking feat of rigging three (03) elections in one. By Cameroon’s current “to be put in place progressively” constitution, the future elections into the projected Regional Councils and the Senate will be “indirect” elections. What this means concretely is that current councilors and parliamentarians will elect some of the members of the Senate and the regional councils. The constitution says that the president of La Republique will appoint 30% of the members of the Senate. By giving itself an insolent majority through election fraud, the CPDM is setting itself for a totalitarian control of Senate, National Assembly and Regional Councils. Look forward to 95 plus CPDM Senators, 90% plus CPDM Regional Councillors to add to the 140 plus CPDM parliamentarians. That the names of 70% of those agitating in the CPDM (including Biya Paul, Atanga Nji, etc) also feature in the list of those who owe the banks. inc
