 Politics / English Cameroonians Debate Wether They Should Have Become Part Of Naija In1960 by ufemia(f): 5:46am On Oct 04, 2010 |
Wow, i did not know that in 1961 English Cameroonians almost became part of Nigeria oh.  Cameroon Echoes- On the occasion of Nigeria’s 50th anniversary of Independence we look at the 11th February 1961 plebiscite in which the people of southern Cameroon were consulted on whether to go with Nigeria to independence or join up with French Cameroon.The people opted for unification with the French Cameroon October 1st 1961, a year after Nigeria gained independence on Oct 1st 1960.If the plebiscite were to be redone, how would Southern Cameroon vote? Cameroonians Respond. RESPONSES! We Need A Third Option Talking about a re-conducted plebiscite in Southern Cameroon, if we were given a chance to vote to join either Nigeria or French Cameroon, I would vote to join Nigeria. However, because of the two choices we had earlier made and the present disposition, I think that we should be given another option of self rule that is if we want to be on our own or not. If we were given that option in 1961, things would have been better for Anglophones than what we experience presently. So, if another plebiscite came I think we Southern Cameroonians should press for the option of independence without reunification with French Cameroon or integration with Nigeria and overwhelmingly vote for that platform. Rudolf Akongo, Masters Student English, UB The question is a very ticklish one. Joining Nigeria or La Republique du Cameroun is taking a leap in the dark. I think the only solution is standing on our own that is what I can tell you for now. Paul Tamnjong, Princial COTTEC Bafut More responses by Cameroonians can be found on the site. But given the state of affairs in Naija, they dodged the bullet.  http://www.cameroonechoes.org/will-you-vote-french-cameroon-or-nigeria-in-another-plebiscite/ |

| Romance / Re: Does A Broken Home Affect Future Romance? by ufemia(f): 8:08am On Aug 03, 2008 |
Some people's narrow mindedness just baffles me sometimes. Why in the world should people from broken homes or however u want to define the situation be judged, labeled and stereotyped for a situation that was so out of their control. I guess Michelle Obama should have overlooked Obama because of his family background right!!!. Those who are so quick to provide any negative statistic about the future of children from broken homes should also take the time to find the positive statistics on the other side of coin. I have friends who have seriously been through situations that kids blessed to have been spoiled by mom and dad like myself could never comprehend but have made the best out their experience. I noticed that most of my male friends with character and responsibility had grown up with either one of their parent missing from their lives. I am so lucky that my friendship cycle is very expansive enough that I could meet people from genuine backgrounds which has helped me not to be as narrow minded. I don't care how f-upped one's family is so long as their head is right. The actions of one's family should not be the sole factor Angry by which we seek to define one's personality or their ability to be successful in one sector or the other in life. Soon some of u NARROW MINDED, TUNNEL VISION, people will say poor kids will always or most likely to be poor, children with uneducated parents are most likely to fail should they decide to seek education and other stupid and ridiculous generalizations. I vehemently want to make it clear that, one's situation can either make or break them down. At the end of the day there are positives and negatives underlining circumstances that go into shaping different people's level of success in an area such as marriage. Some rascals that come from two parent homes will live u dumbfounded. It takes two to make a relationship work so I do not understand why the blame for a failed marriage ought be carried by a particular group just because their parents could did not work. Some of us have been handed our lemonade for the most part of lives, served quite chill and ready to gulp that we we take for granted the ability of others who have to squeeze hard lemons to reach the same end. To each his own, but I find it ridiculous to undermine one particular group of people because of an A,B, and C situation totally beyond their control. Family back ground or not, if u chose to get into a relationship with someone, be man or woman enough to handle your own part of the deal or don't get into it in the first place, period!!  |

All those things turn me off. But hey that's just me, whatever rocks your baot!  |
| Music/Radio / Letoya Short Reality Feature On Bet by ufemia(f): 7:05pm On Jul 18, 2006 |
Out of no where yesterday at 10pm, a Letoya series came up detailing the singers routines before the relese of her first single. I liked her personlity in it. I think they will re-air, for those who are interested. Her album comes out July 25 and so far i am yet to see a bad review for it though i've been searching for one atleast. Am not the type to buy cds, but so far what i've been hearing is good so i think i will give it a try. |
