Terror is the reigning sentiment in Bangolan village, in Ngoketunjia Division of the Norh West Region following the assassination of Pa Tata Forkeng. Reports hold that Tata Forkeng was attacked in his home and murdered in cold blood. The assassination we gathered is linked to the chieftaincy crisis rocked the village. Matters came to a head when information leaked that Fon Chafah and 19 others were targeted by the gang that assassinated Pa Tata recently.

It is alleged that first on the list of those blacklisted is Fon Chafah Isaac. An atmosphere of uncertainty looms large in Bangolan as supporters of Mbipefah, who died mysteriously after release from Ndop prison, have also declared a cold war on Fon Chafah’s supporters. Allegations that women from Baba I married to Bangon are being chased away abound high. The xenophobia we gathered emanates from the fact that Fon Chafah’s mother hails from Baba I palace.

The Eye is aware that one of the grievous things is that the corpse of the Inkatha Fon has not yet been buried. Despite the fact that Fon Chafah insisted that an autopsy e conducted on the corpse to determined the cause, before burial, Inkatha’s supporters say he has a hand in it. But Fon Chafah’s supporters have dismissed the threats as mere hot air. To them, his detractors have performed all the rituals to kill Fon Chafah, rumours even hold that Fon Chafah’s picture was taken to Nigeria for him to be killed but it didn’t work. “The God Fon Chafah serves will fight for him” one of his supporters is quoted to have said.

A 30-year-old girl, Saturday August 6, delivered a baby boy weighing four kg, after 21 months of pregnancy. Georgiana Kindzeka, who hails from Jakiri, Bui Division in the Northwest Region, had been barren for eight years.

“December 2014 was a joyous month for Elvis and I, when we learnt that I was pregnant after eight years of barrenness. But the euphoria soon turned to sadness when three echography results showed that there was no baby in my womb, although the symptoms of pregnancy were obvious,” Georgiana said.

The new mother said because of this mysterious pregnancy, her panic-stricken boyfriend started behaving in a funny way towards her. So, she decided to leave and rent a room at Shell Obili, in Yaounde. According to Georgiana, when she explained to friends that doctors could not see the baby in her womb, some told her she was carrying a monster in her womb.

Others said it was the traditional gods ‘nwerong’ and ‘akeukwor’, snake, stone, masquerade, or even water. All these things, she said, got her even more worried. In February this year, when the pregnancy was 15 months, she went back to the hospital for the fourth echography. This time around, the doctors saw a baby in her womb.

Georgiana said one of her sisters, Victorine, immediately took her to a pastor, Nchanji Therese, alias ‘Mummy’ of the Holy Ghost Zone Ministries, Damas in Yaounde. “After few minutes of powerful prophetic and declarative prayers from the pastor, the yoke of undue pregnancy upon my life was instantly broken,” said Georgiana.

From that moment she said peace returned upon her as her baby started kicking again after the prayers. Georgiana said Pastor Nchanji referred her to the Saint Annick Clinic in Chapelle Obili for ante-natal follow-up.

The D-Day finally came on August 6, when, at about 3 pm, Georgiana felt a sharp pain around her abdomen, and she rushed to the clinic for consultation, not knowing that it was labour hour.

Within a short period, she said she was being delivered of her baby like a ‘Hebrew’ woman. The first thing Georgiana said she did, was to send her hand to feel if it was actually a baby that came out or the snake, stone, masquerade, or yam that people had predicted.

“I was overwhelmed and overjoyed when Mah Eveline, the midwife, shouted that it was a normal baby boy with all his faculties intact. My baby is indeed my august guest in this month of August. Now I believe that, the devil can only delay one’s destiny but he cannot deny it,” she concluded. “I have decided to name the baby, Miracle Wirsanyuy, which in Lamnso, my Mother tongue, meaning ‘God is the Supreme Judge’.” Doubting Elvis

Georgiana said her cousin immediately phoned the baby’s father to inform him of the birth of his son, but Elvis did not show any interest. She said the boy just said it is a miracle baby and by press time, he had not passed to check on the baby.

Georgiana said since she delivered, people have been taking turns in her room; “some courageous ones come in to touch the baby, while others stand far off to spy.” She, however, said that the courage and faith to continue with the pregnancy came from the experience of a certain woman, Mami Juvette. She said she knew the woman back in Jakiri.

According to Georgiana, the woman was pregnant for 20 months and finally gave birth to a baby boy. Georgiana said to her greatest dismay, everyone to whom she went for help turned her down. She thus resorted to selling garri at the Mendong market in order to survive. She said people who knew her in the market, refused to buy her garri, for fear of being possessed by the so-called monster baby.

She added that as the delivery kept delaying, sympatisers from her village requested that she goes home for spiritual cleansing by a witchdoctor because they suspected that she might have been spiritually bound by her rival. She said she refused to go, claiming that her hands were clean. And today, said she, ‘God has vindicated me’.

He explains that once outside and to the least expectation from the six alleged hostage takers, he vamoosed. 
The brilliant boy told Equinoxe Television in Douala which launched SOS message by bringing him on their Newscast, that he succeeded to take a bike with coins he had with him to the Baptist health center, MBINGO ANNEX, Mboppi before some Park Boys took him to a nearby police station.

Yaounde-The president of the Republic of Cameroon,Paul Biya  has expressed gratitude and warmness to the students who went on the streets to appreciate his gesture of promising them Laptops to ease  their studies at their various universities.

On the presidential website and social media channels of the presidency, there was press release with the president in his own words saying:

E-National Higher Education : Students say thank you

Thousands of students from public and private universities in Yaounde marched from the Conference Centre to the centre of the city to express their thanks and gratitude to the President of the Republic on Wednesday 3 August 2016.

The laudable initiative comes in the wake of the distribution of 500 000 computers to students, the setting up of nine computer laboratories in State Universities and the interconnection of all the universities, in a major push for the digital economy under the programme of e-National Higher Education.

Meanwhile in the community of the State University of Bamenda, the laptops gifts have been seen as a welcome gesture towards the modernisation of the learning process and an instrument in the training of youths toward the realisation of Vision 2035 projects.

Messages of gratitude, songs and dance summed up the event in the Bambili campus of the University on August 2, 2016 where students showcased Thank-You messages before telling North West Governor, Adolphe Lele Lafrique to tell President Biya about their commitment to stand by his Emergence Plan for the youths of Cameroon. 

Evidence of their appreciation was on placards, some of which read, “One Student, One  Laptop. It is real. It is a focus on virtual University, a move towards digital economy. A move towards quality higher education. Tools in the formation of youths towards vision 2035. Laptops for portable education. Thank you, Mr President, father of android generation for making our dreams come true”.

Their message of appreciation, presented by a postgraduate student of the History department, Musah Pagbe Christian, encouraged President Biya to continue in his drive to modernise higher education. He revisited the President’s excellence awards to enhance research by students and said the new project to offer laptops will make things to happen with E-learning at the reach of all students.

It was against this backdrop that, North West governor, Adolphe Lele Lafrique hailed the students for mobilizing to show the gratitude and said the government will deliver for the advancement of higher education through the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Nkuo Therese Akenji.
