Cameroon hip hop Guru: Our Very Own Dr. Dre.

I will call him the pharallel of 237. The all in one hip hop guru in Cameroon. From sound engineer to producer singer video director and rapper. His simply know as Jovi one of the best most sort out rappers now in africa and also the owner of new Bell Music in Douala cameroon. I was introduced to his songs by a friend last year and I do remember very well the song which crab my attention and made me to be a huge fan til date. It was  'Don for kwat' and 'Bastard'. Just with the very first lines I could relate so well with the songs. I went through the entire lyrics of the songs and my insects just went to million of Cameroonians youths who even with their good educational qualifications can not find jobs in the country due to the huge unemployment rate that the faces.  They have simply became Don for kwat due to the discriminatory and corrupt environment which they face in the country

Hope is one of the common messages which one will find in most of his songs. He studied sound engineering in India and decided to go back home and implement this knowledge in the cameroon music industry especially in the hip hop genre. He uses the diversity of Cameroon music in creating most of his beats and the social conditions of the people in for his lyrics especially from the area where he grow up New bell reason why his record lebelle is called 'New Bell Music'. In another interview which he granted to a media house in Carbon he said music legends like Dr.Dre Manu Dipango are his source of inspiration and his studio is for young Cameroonians who have faith in their talent.

Jovi's  Music is not just any popular hip hop sound you hear on a daily basis. He tries to be unique with lyrics and beats which distinguishes him a lot with other hip hop artists. His talent can never be under estimated and his dream of taken cameroon forward in the musical sence can only be appreciated. Remember his been nominated for the category of best album in this year's Kora Music awards.

Abortion is in legal in Cameroon but unborn twin were left to die at the laquintinie hospital in Douala

Human life is precious no matter the circumstances. After the horrific incident which happened on Saturday at the laquintinie hospital in Douala the minister for public health Mr. Andrè Mama Fouda made a public statement condemning the actions of the niece of the deceased who tried saving the twice from their dead mothers womb Monique.

We all agree what the niece did using a razor blade to operate upon the deceased was totally against the law. But she had no other choice since the nurses and other hospital officers at the hospital refused to try and safe the unborn children with the pretext that the law of the state does not allow operation on a dead person even if the unborn children might  still be alive.

Honestly Mr. Minister and the Government of Cameroon we all have the right to live as humans even if we are still to be born reason why abortion is considered in legal in Cameroon. The Niece was brave in trying to safe the unborn children though her bravely is highly condemned by you and your officials. And from information which i got online one of the babies dead few hours after delivery meaning they could have been alive today if care was taken. Our concerned is the officials at the laquintinie hospital in Douala who took an oath of saving life what is their faith because it can be clearly seen that negligence and wickedness let to the death of Monique and her twin.

Monique even though your gone your voice will be use as an instrument to speak against corruption discrimination and negligence not just in the heath sector but in the general administration in Cameroon.

We Stand For Justice For Monique

I can't  say this gives me joy but at least a some level of satisfaction seeing how Cameroonians all over world have gathered in one voice through social to condemn this outrageous act of wickedness and negligence with personals of the laquintinie hospital in Douala yesterday.
Justice for Monique is all we are advocating. I personally think if the minimum medical assistance would have if not safe the unborn twin. And it was so shocking hearing a comment from one of the Doctors in Cameroon saying 'people are just blowing the unfortunate incident out of proportion ' and even went to the extend of saying 'shame the woman had no money to pay for her medicals so that wasn't the fault of the officials of the laquintinie hospital because all medical procedures in the country needs to be paid and no Country in the world provide free medical facilities to its citizens'.

This is not just outrageous but wickedness into consideration the oath which all medical professionals take which is of saving lives. And just a little piece of information for this doctor in question who's name is do not want to mention some countries in the world provide free medical care to all its citizens even foreigners and a clear example is South Africa.

As I said in my previous posts Monique is just one in many. The injustice and inequalities in Cameroon most stop

Greed and corruption lead to the three innocent Souls at the laquintinie hospital in Douala

When the laws of the land have been forceful taken by those in authority unfortunately the result which you get is what happend yesterday at the laquintinie hospital in Douala where a woman by name Monique heavily pregnant in labour was left to die at the doors of the hospital because she could not afford medical care. Her niece who was contacted few hours after came in at thr same hospital with a few medical equipments which she could possibly laid her hands to rescue her Aunt.

Her brevity amazes me as the whole scenario was being recorded by on lookers. Watching the video did not just made me cry but imagined human beings could be this wicked and greedy how the spirit of nepotism and corruption has eaten deep down the heart and soul of some Cameroonians. Offices which are supposed to be used in saving lives and for the service of the general public have now been turn to personal homes by some who do whatever they want and however they want with it. Monique is just one in a case of many where the abuse of power and greed over takes duty and compassion. 

The doctor and the nurses on duty at the laquintinie hospital have to be answerable to this for their level of unprofessionalism and for none respect of the laws of the land stated in the cameroon constitution which says every single person has the right to live so as Monqui and her two babies.  May their Souls Rest In Peace.

AFCON qualifies: Hugo Broos make changes

A win against south Africa is what it's on the minds of most Cameroonians as a list of 27 players was made public by head coach of the indomitable lions to face bafana Bafana on the 26th and 29th of this month for the AFCON qualifies in Carbon in 2017. The list which comprises of old dogs like Nicolas N'koulou Chedjou Aurelien saw the return or of Alexandre Song who has been called by head coach Hugo Broos to field in the gap created by Enoh Enow at the midfield who will be out of the squad due to injury.

Fresh blood like Abang Anotole and Toko Karly have been called in to help the attack line since the fitness of Choupo Moting Eric is questionable who's still recovering from an injury and Aboubakar Vincent who will be remarkably absent due to the accumulation yellow cards. All we wish the lions is a win and both matches will be played in the newly built stadium in Limbe Cameroon and Durban South Africa respectively.

Life After The 8th Of March

It's not just shocking but embracing when some people still uses phrases like "at least you had or we the men gave you women one day out of our 365 days" . It's the 21 century globalisation is at the front row of every thing the media especially social media has enlightened Us that 365 was not just for men but every living creature on earth. This mindset of some men makes me to realise how us as women still have a lot to do about the emancipation of women and gender equality in the world and Africa in particular.

I will like to deal mostly on this. Firstly the concept of the 8th of March needs to be over emphasis through the media, social media workshops and every other platforms. 8th of March which is celebrated all over the world as THE INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY is a day set aside by the United Nations in 1975 to reflect on the plight of women all over the world. It's a day where women in particular and the world as a whole world set and reflect about the struggles of women their success and aspirations in making the world better place for all of humanity because this was denied of them by men and society. Women for years were and are still seen as second class citizens in some countries their gender instead of it being seen as a blessing have been seen as a curse.

8th of March isn't just a day of celebration as in celebrating the achievement of women like Mo Adube of Nigeria who is helping to change the image of the African Woman through her Television Network Ebony Life TV but also a day of reflect on what is still to be done through emancipation of women.

The fact that we celebrate our independent day on the 20th of may doesn't mean we're still in captive for the rest of the 364 days same as women's day.

18years Is Never Too Late

It took one whole year for justice to take it full course and yesterday the verdict was finally given. Judge John hlope at the western Cape high court convicted the 51 year old who's name and full identity has been hidden for security reasons of kidnapping fraud and contravening the child Act.

The 51 year old lady according to her own version of the story adapted Zaphany Nurse 18 years ago from Groote schuur  hospital with the pretext that her biological mother does not want her. The unlawful adaption transaction took place at the Wnyberg station with a sum of R3000 given to the nurse who brought the child from the hospital.

18years is definitely  too much to not to know someone especially your real parents but as we all know blood is definitely think than water. The bonding might be easier more than the way we thought and on the other hand loosing touch even respect from people whom you thought was your parent for 18years can be heart breaking. The deceit fraud corruption and crime which has been the bases of your growth with your supposedly parents will definitely a hard piece to shallow for Zaphany Nurse. All we can say is we wish her all the best with her new but rightful family.
