The Inhabitants of Nkolbisson are living in distress as most of them have had to move out of the neighborhoods due to inundation. The floods are back as the raining season is at hand.

Reports say the Inundation is blamed on the poor construction of a small bridge in the area which residents say is too small to contain the huge volume of water after heavy downpour. According to residents of Nkolbisson they have change their lifestyles just to see how to manage with the situation. “When it rains even a little, it enters our houses and we cannot stay inside anymore.

Everyone will stay outside till the rain seizes. Most often when rain starts falling most of us will have to come back home no matter where we are especially when our children are home. When it starts raining the mattresses and other important things are put up. It’s horrible as we are forced to wash our houses each time it rains and stops. We are just like fish jumping inside the water.” says an angry inhabitant.

Sources say the inhabitants plead on the government to help solve their problem.

The highly controversial CPDM mayor of Buea council has made headlines on the social media over the past few days.

His story on Facebook takes the form of a question in which users were asked to fill in a blank space with the correct answer: “Very soon our history will be like this .Once upon a time, there lived a man call MAYOR EKEMA. He used to carry his taxis all over Buea to disrupt his people’s struggle for liberation. Now he is in k……….”

The blank space provided was filled exclusively with the name KONDENGUI. Their answers seem to pass a message as to the route government ministers in Cameroon or CPDM die-hards are most likely to take when they fall out of favour with Paul Biya. .

Many overzealous militants of the CPDM who never thought of one day getting into Kondengui are today languishing in the dreaded prison. In fact, it seems to be the Habitat where almost all those who were once praise singers to Paul Biya in the likes of the Ekemas take abode.

Pundits say History is not only being read but it is also being written. Mayor Ekema’s history may just have been written in a Facebook post!
