Former CRTV GM, Ahmadou Valmouke thrown in Kondengui prison.

Ahmadou Valmouke has been sent to Kondengui prison, reports reached us late Friday. The former CRTV general manager had been sacked and replaced by veteran journalist Charles Ndongo in late June 2016. This move raised eyebrows as to the fate of the accused as he was said to be involved in money laundering with another former CRTV boss, Prof. Gervais Mendo Ze.

The latter had been sent to prison on embezzlement charges and is joined by Valmouke who joins the myriad of top government ranking officials in the highly feared Kondengui prison in Yaounde. Fear and panic has gripped most ministers who are cleaning their closets to avoid the same fate.

CRTV Journalist, Teke Julius molested by Fako SDO in Limbe, Cameroon

Teke Julius, journalist with the Cameroon Radio Television, CRTV, has been arrested and detained at the gendarmerie bridage in Limbe, capital of Fako Division, South West Region, while he was covering the visit of the Prime Minister, Head of Government, Philemon Yang.

The arrest took place on Monday the 9th of May, 2016 and before Julius was put off communication, he told me by telephone that; "I was recording some comments being made by some senoir officials concerned with the completion of the Limbe Omnisport Stadium and other projects the PM is visiting when some men in uniform came and asked me to follow them. I later found myself at the gendarmerie brigade where one of the men in uniform told me that I was under detention at the behest of the SDO of FAKO for unauthorized recording."

Shortly after that conversation, Teke went off communication and all attempts to contact him again have gone futile.

The Prime Minister and Head of Government arrived in the South West Region on Sunday the 8th of April, 2016 to inspect the newly constructed football stadium there, along with other infrastructure meant to facilitate Cameroon’s hosting of the Women Africa Cup of Nations in November, 2016 and the Africa Cup of Nations in 2019.

Cameroonian singer SETCHE releases patroitic song, “Batuo”

Rising Cameroonian musical-cum-patriotic sensation, Setche has released her second single, “Batuo”. This Bayangi-inclined tune is translated as “hello”, and aims at creating an awareness of the beauty of Cameroon, thus debunking the sordid picture painted by the West about her dear fatherland. 

Filled with emotionally painted visuals and an artistic blend of cultural melody, this song no doubt awakens the patriotic spirit in the listener, forcing him/her to rekindle the dying embers of nationalism in their hearts.

It’s time to relax and get the message, take a break from the boom box Naija music that has so much filled the air and be consumed by the feeling of our cultural heritage. Let’s all support this movement. Let’s all support Setche!

LESBIANISM EXPOSED IN THE CAMEROON FILM INDUSTRY

 

Lesbianism, just like any other religious vices, is purported to have shown its ugly head in the Cameroon Film industry. Whether in an attempt to create a public stunt, or a hidden "code", popular actress Emade Cynthia put up an eye raising Instagram post in which she confessed her undying love for a female friend.

In the eyes of the regulars, this might pass unnoticed, but a closer look a her message might reveal more than the eye meets. However, it's left to you to make a final judgement. Whatever the case, we hope it's not the devil trying to corrupt the minds of talented Cameroonians. Stay safe!
