If 1% of this football energy was committed to initiatives that make society work, Cameroun would go places.
Explain to me how Chifon ; born,raised, married & to die in his native Mbockejikijem in Oku is advising Tuchel what to do but doesn't know the current National debt.
I remember 2 years ago, I was in Nairobi hanging out at Westgate Mall with a friend, and he told me something that expanded my mind.
He said when he was growing up in Kibera (urban slum in Nairobi) in the 90s, he used to see lots of NGOs setting up shop there, focused on things like providing clean water to residents of Kibera. 30 years later, he said, those same NGOs are still in Kibera collecting donor funds to "provide clean water to residents of Kibera."
So either 30 years was not enough time to use the donor money to build basic water treatment and piping infrastructure for Kibera, or those NGOs want Kibera to remain exactly the way it is forever and ever- because African poverty is big business for them.
And then he gestured toward the several muzungus seated around us at Artcaffé, many of whom had their branded NGO t-shirts on and he said, "This is how they live after taking pictures in Kibera for their donors. Meanwhile the people in Kibera have never even been to Westgate Mall."
We think we're the customers, but we're actually the product.
Opposition leaders in Africa must be able to play on popular anger at nepotism, economic mismanagement and the failure of leaders to uphold the rule of law to expand their support base. African democracy is more resilient than ever.

@mehdirhasan@AJHeadtoHead Just now watching your interview with him. Outstanding discipline to keep him on target, and not let him try to lump everything into their eternal victim mentality. You held him accountable showing the absolute fallacy and hypocrisy of the jewish mindset....
👏 👏 👏
Famously controversial Israeli historian Benny Morris tells me that Zionism was about sharing Palestine with the Palestinians.
I challenge him on this, using quotes from his own book.

On the subject of genocidal language, while we all obsess over pro-Palestine placards from college students, and parse the meaning of ‘river to the sea’, here’s what conservatives are saying:
It is heartbreaking that those with any kind of agenda, political or otherwise, continuously make ordinary #Cameroonians pay for atrocious governance by Biya Regime for the past 41 years.
Why murder people in their sleep? WHY?
Senseless.
Mamfe, our hearts bleed for you.💔💔💔
People in Yaounde are celebrating. People in Mamfe are burnt to their death.
A perfect recap of this of this 41st year and the legacy trailing in its wake. It must be a sick joke. As cynical as it is cleaving.
