2015 World Book Day In Bamenda: What Are Books?
Celebrating World Book Day At Jua Hotel In Bamenda
Books of various genres were
yesterday displayed at the Conference hall of Jua Hotel, capital of the North
West Region of Cameroon to commemorate the 18th World Book Day. The
Minister of Arts and Culture was represented at the occasion by the Regional
Delegate of Arts and Culture for the North West Region who stressed the
importance of books to human development. The occasion which started with a
word of prayer from Dr. Gladys Ngwi Anyangwe Focho had Mr. Felix Che Tumanjo as Master of
Ceremony. The MC congratulated writers for having turned out massively to
celebrate World Book Day. After acknowledging all present, he gave the floor to
the Regional Delegate of Arts and Culture who presented his speech which was
followed by various presentations. In his speech, he thanked Anglophone Cameroon Writers’ Association
(ACWA) Bamenda Branch for the organization of the event. He revealed that
World Book Day is a yearly event celebrated every 23rd April
instituted by UNESCO and was first celebrated in 1995 in honour of the birth
and death of William Shakespeare and other prolific writers.
The first presentation titled An African Writer In A Global Village at the symposium came
from Dr. Gilian Ngala of the University of Bamenda. He said African cultures
have been absorbed by osmosis in globalization and only African writers can
preserve this culture in books. He said ideal writers write ideal books and
those are the types of books we have come out to celebrate. The African truth
shall no longer be told in orality but in books.
Also, Mr. Akongoh Innocent Ngwa
presented a discourse under the auspices of ACWA on the theme The Treasure In Books in which he observed
that through books readers become leaders. He again stressed out that nations
emerge from books. In his discourse he presumed participants were familiar with
the adage: “silver and gold shall perish but knowledge alone, which comes from
books will remain”. He further reminded participants that an individual’s
success story begins with the reading of good books. Quoting Praise George in
his book titled: Why Are You Not Rich, he
assured participants that books are secret of financial success. “Let me ask
you, how many books on money do you have in your library? How many books on
financial success have you read this year?” says Praise George. Harping on
Praise George he said the more books you read, the smarter you become
financially and through books readers become leaders.
A short drama from Noble theatre Arts Group about reading and writing identified honesty as the first
chapter of the book of wisdom entertained participants and thrilled the
occasion. The Arts group also invited participants to their Grand Fundraising
due to take place next Saturday at Ideal Park Hotel.
Conspicuously present was Dr. Magdalene Shiri Halle Awa who presented a discourse from her book on HIV/AIDS then Mrs
Anguh Bright also made her discourse with her novel titled Mourning Africa due to be launched on Saturday the 2nd
of May at 3:00pm at St. Louis University Institute Bamenda.
Honourable Tasi Ntang presented a
poem titled Danger In Anger after
acting a marriage drama with Dr. Gladys Ngwi Anyangwe Focho.
The poem which ended thus “Infact
if I could be born and breadth in the furrow, I had such a strong ego to many
places I could go, and be a hero but I preferred to remain in Soweto and never
to return to Moscow” by Mr. Kwetatang Sampson of the Writers’ Resource and
Information Centre Bamenda kept participants cheering as it exposed the current
xenophobia in South Africa.
Madam
Susan Nkwentie Nde presented her poem
‘Next Door Neighbour’ , Dugar Charles Fofung ‘Oh my Beloved Bamenda’, Mrs
Lola Perpetua ‘The Lock On My Lips’
and the presentations were rounded by Mr.
Tah Richard Ndey with his poem: To Dad, Feeling The Flame and another of his famous poems.
The Regional Delegate then declared the occasion closed.

Njie Clinton Suffers Racist Attack In France
Cameroonian football star, Njie
Clinton was racially attacked in France after putting up a spectacular
performance for his club, Lyon on April 4 in Guingamp. Njie scored the third
goal in the game which his team won three goals to one.
Fans of his own team are said
have said that they don’t care whether or not he is black, as long as he scores
goals for them. As commented on his Facebook page, Njie Clinton says “As we
stay top of the league table, my greatest prayers is to be at the Champions
league next year”.
A Cameroonian born football
administrator based in Europe, Bertrand Ndong said the young footballer is only
21, still has a whole career ahead of him and would not be discouraged by
racist insults and that he should be ready for whatever as he lives in Europe.
Njie Clinton’s team, Lyon
occupied the 2nd position in ranking after the 32nd day
of play. He has played 14 matches and scored 5 goals. He has equally recorded
several decisive passes.
Pepper Consumption Prolongs Life Research Study Says

Recent research findings carried out in Mexico have brought
out some health benefits for those who consume pepper which is widely available
and consumed in abundance in Cameroon.
They say taking a diet seasoned
with pepper reduces cholesterol in the blood and prolongs life. Researchers
found out that the incidence of deaths from certain diseases among indigenes of
New Mexico were lower than to other parts of Mexico. The experts then
attributed this to the peoples’ diet which contained pepper as a key ingredient.
They say pepper also reduces the
chances of one becoming diabetic. They therefore say that people who attribute
the development of ulcers to pepper consumption are mistaken. “If they knew the
number of vitamins that are found in pepper they will change their mind”, the
experts opined.
The researchers found out that
pepper contains a good quantity of vitamin ‘A’ which facilitates food
metabolism and the assimilation of proteins and amino acids. Pepper also
contains vitamin ‘E’ which removes toxic elements from the body and slows down
the aging process, and that the vitamin ‘C’ contained in pepper strengthens the
immune system.
The researchers also revealed
that an experiment carried out on some 680,000 men suffering from prostrate
cancer showed that pepper consumption kills the cancerous cells.
