By Kowac K. K. Bandolo Silence is generally described as golden but silence in the face of a crisis is seen as siding with the oppressor according to Late South African President, Nelson Mandela. The present state of things wrecking the basic foundation of the Cameroonian state and questioning the future of the English sub-system of education is quite demanding that reunification icons and senior citizens in the likes of Senator Nfon V.E Mukete should be silent. After surviving rumours of his resignation as a member of the senate that has come to pass and other founded and unfounded accusations on his person and office, the venerated traditional ruler of the Bafaws, farmer and politician has opted for silence contrary to the expectations of his admirers. Most recently, the senior statesman received New Year, 2017, gifts and wishes from his auxiliaries in the city of Kumba described as ‘quarter heads’ or ‘Nkumes’. There, the member of the Cameroon pioneer senate, de

An outbreak of meningitis in several states of Nigeria has killed at least 140 people, officials say. It has been reported over the last week in six states and has so far infected more than 1,000 people, the Abuja Centre for Disease Control says. Meningitis causes an acute inflammation of the outer layers of the brain and spinal cord. The current outbreak is the worst in Nigeria since 2009 when it killed at least 156 people. The disease is spreading amidst fears it could be out of control if refugee camps, prisons and police cells become affected through crowds, the BBC's Chris Ewokor in Abuja says. Vaccination is an effective way of preventing against meningitis. However, a new strain, which may have been imported from a neighbouring country is now prevalent in Nigeria and requires a different type of vaccine, Nigerian Minister of Health Isaac Adewole said. The seasonal outbreak has been attributed to cold nights, dusty winds and dry weather, which were ag

Ghanaian National Security operatives have caught popular movie actor John Dumelo with a vehicle belonging to the state and retrieved it from a spraying shop. Dumelo was allegedly attempting to conceal the identity of the black V8 Toyota Land Cruiser with registration GE 8118 –16 when the operatives pounced on it at a garage at Abelemkpe in Accra where it had purportedly been sent for re-spraying. The vehicle, with chassis number JTMHVOJ2F4159829, 2015 model with full option, has been parked at the Office of the President Annex for almost one month. When the operatives invited him to the garage, he reportedly panicked and shook like rain-beaten chick, before surrendering the expensive vehicle without any protest. The operatives, upon a tip-off, swooped on the garage a couple of weeks ago and got hold of the auto mechanic who told them that the vehicle belonged to John Dumelo. He was then telephoned to come to the garage and upon arrival, he’s reported to have first s
