The long awaited laptops promised to students of higher learning by the head of state finally arrived and were distributed. This scandalous presentation of falsehood by two Cameroonian ministers namely the Minister of Higher Education, Mr. Fame Ndongo and the Minister of Communication, Isa Chorima Bakari lied on CRTV that 30GB was as efficient as a 500 GB.
This is a huge disgrace to the nations image as an academic nation, capable of producing great minds with fine ideas. This scam and scandal hurts the students who are studying out of LA Republique Du Cameroun. Students from Cameroon have been able to enroll into great universities and Polytechnics like the Montreal Polytechnic like the young man whose missive the head of state had received based on this scandal, without being obliged to go through any Preparatory classes.
It's unfortunate that lots of overt embezzlement scandals are rocking the nation when the state is struggling to grapple with the challenges posed on a daily basis.
Wondering how 500.0000 computers could cost that huge amount of One hundred and fifty Billion francs instead of the budgeted seventy five Billion francs ?
The author of this missive thanked the Head of State for his end of year speech that dwelled on the unity of the state despite the instability and chaos.
He called on the head of state to arrest all those who have rubbished the name of Cameroon. Finally he wished the Head of State and his family a happy New year.

The U.N. Security Council has welcomed six new non-permanent members — Equatorial Guinea, Ivory Coast, Kuwait, the Netherlands, Peru, and Poland.
The six new countries, voted on by the 193-member General assembly for two-year terms, will have a strong voice in matters dealing with international peace and security during their time on the U.N.’s most powerful body.
“Peace and security are difficult to achieve,” Kazakh envoy Kairat Umarov, who took the rotating presidency in January, told council members at a special ceremony. “You are going to have a real chance to make a difference.”
Flags of the six new member countries were installed outside the council chambers Tuesday in a ceremony arranged by Umarov.
The U.N. Security council has 15 members — five of which (China, France, Russia, Britain, and the United States) hold permanent membership and veto power.
Egypt, Japan, Senegal, Ukraine, and Uruguay finished their terms last year, while the Netherlands takes over for Italy to finish a term the two countries shared.

It is reported that the Etoudi tenant is so worried about who opposes him from the Social Democratic Front, stronger than him that he has allocated lots of money to buy those militants who have voting rights to vote John Fru Ndi.
This is done in order to top due much stronger candidate that could emerge such as that of Osih Joshua backed by a radical such as Jean Michel Nintcheu.
Similarly a situation of the same magnitude is believed to have taken place in 2011 that saw John Fru Ndi emerge as the Presidential candidate.
Today lots of the Social Democratic Front militants desire having someone else as their presidential candidate and to many, the vice president of the party Osih Joshua is the man that the party had been waiting for.
