The players of the Cameroonian basketball team that emerged vice-champions of the 24th edition of the African Basketball Women 2015 have still not received their bonuses. Attached to this report is one of the horrible images of the Cameroonian basketball players eating on the floor and sharing a piece of cassava in an accommodation that looks like one of the filthy prisons in the country immediately after the thrilling finals against Senegal.
Whereas the Senegalese were received with honours following a decision by their Head of State, President Macky Sall to dispatch a chartered plane to jet the players back home to Dakar, the Cameroonian team were evicted at the Hotel Mont Febe where they had established their headquarters. After they proudly defended the colours of the nation –losing just one game in the tournament against the Senegalese in the final, the poor girls have been offered a premium of 2 million CFA francs each, for their brilliant participation in the 24th edition of the African Basketball Women 2015. However, at the time of filing this report, even the miserable 2 million FCFA have still not been paid to the players.

YAOUNDE (AfroBasket Women 2015) - Cameroon are through to the Final of AfroBasket Women 2015 after beating Nigeria 71-70 in Friday's first Semi-Final in Yaounde, Cameroon.
Amina Njonkou and Ramses Lonlack combined for 34 points as Cameroon secured at least a place at next year's FIBA Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament (WOQT).
It was Cameroon's seventh win in as many games.
Turning Point: Njonkou made a lay-up with 28 seconds remaining and Cameroon, having trailed for most of the game, went on to upset Nigeria who were aiming to return to the Final for the first time since 2005. Joyce Ekworomadu missed a jumper in the waning seconds of the game, sending home fans into frenzy.
Stats Don't Lie: Two key Nigeria players, Ndidi Madu and Olayinka Sanni, fouled out midway through the fourth quarter, and Nigeria were never the same near the painted area.
Game Hero: Njonkou not only provided 14 crucial points, but she also dominated the paint with a game-high 16 rebounds.
Bottom Line: The result go either way, but Cameroon, boosted by a tireless supporting crowd, handled the game better in the final minutes, and will play the tournament final for the very first time.
Adaora Elonu who led Nigeria with 17 points said after the game: "A lot of things went wrong tonight. We weren't executing and they were scoring too many points. They were getting what they needed, and we let them have energy and feel from the crowd, which was bad for us."

The Joseph Owona gang has skilfully installed a CPDM team to run the affairs of the Cameroon Football Federation. Tombi A Roko whose passport was confiscated by immigration officers at the Douala International airport and was prevented from travelling to Equatorial Guinea during the Africa Cup of Nations following a Prime Ministerial Order, by some strange happenstance is now the new president.
An adviser to the disgraced former president of the Cameroon Football Federation, Iya Mohammed, CPDM Senator from the North region, Alioum Aladji is the first vice-president of FECAFOOT. Another CPDM Senator this time around from the South West region, Charles Mbella Moki is the second vice-president.
The executive of FECAFOOT is essentially composed of corrupt officials of the ruling CPDM crime syndicate as the 3rd Vice President; Luc Nkoa is also a CPDM parliamentarian from the Central region. Joseph Pierre Batamack, an ardent CPDM loyalist and president of the Littoral region’s football league is now FECAFOOT’s 4th vice president.
