Bertin Kisob author of the News about his Death! Cameroonians must be Ware

The News about the death of Bertin Kisob President of the Cameroon Party for Social Justice that sprang wild over the Region and nationally has quikly been dispelled by a call directed to the said Kisob who answered alive and admitted being author of the news.

Varyingly, many when caught up by the news were of the opinion that the regime in place may be responsible for his death since he has always been a threat to them given his youthfulness and the varied devices he has been using to tupple their government with the aid of Boko Harams.

This Reporter ,witness to a last encounter and his last episod with the regime that granted him bail, quikly dispelled the atttribution of his death to government amongst colleague, only for a phone call to confirm that he is not death this morning 3^rd Dec 2014.

The North West Administration quite aware of the situation are embarrassed of the Party Chairman’s action.

Rosicrucian Ritual Act Uncovered in PCC at 47th Synod?

Has and was the subject of discussion at the 47th synod elective session

amongst  members of the Presbyterian order in Cameroon playing host at the Bamenda Church center Hall on the 25th of November 2014 raising many eye brows and rendering many a Christian perplex at the mention or the identification within church marriage rites of the PCC certain signs similar to that exercised in certain occult practices of the Rose Sur Croix. This greeting sign of the PCC during marriage encounters similar to that exercised and performed under the AMORC order was brought under scrutiny at the synod, and there was urgent need for it to be reviewed so that it does not bring conflict with esoteric practitioners or later misinterpreted by misguided individuals to run down the reputation of the church for selfish interest.
Besides the controversial marriage encounter greetings signs, the synod that was chaired by the out going moderator, Rt.Rev.Dr Asana Festus equally resolved that a PCC Education Fund be created to especially take care of the Cameroon Christian University CCU. In this light, each PCC Christian is to be taxed 2000FCFA annually for the Education Fund.
The Pro-Chancellor of CCU Dorothy Njeuma who threw more light on the education fund explained that the 2000 FRS education fund is separate from other church contributions Christians make. She regretted that although the PCC is a big institution, most of its educational institutions are ramshackle. Njeuma said the 3rd floor building at the permanent site of the CCU in Bali has already kick started “and we desperately need money to complete the first floor and put in use this January 2015” she said the University needs enough funds to recruit permanent staff and put in place infrastructures.
Observing that 2000FCFA per Christian is the minimum amount a Christian can give annually, the outgoing moderator said the PCC counts about 33 secondary schools and most of them are struggling because of the lack of funds. Above all it was also resolved that PCC Radio, Christian broadcasting service, be set up in Bamenda and a new Presbytery opened in upper Bakossi.

Ups & Downs at UBa, Officials Under: Surveillance for Bad Morality Reports *Divine Mercy, mediation & Intervention is the much expected wish of the people

“From the general look of things today, without mincing words at the University for the future one might be tempted or caused to think that all is apparently for sell at the University of Bamenda in the North West Region where excellence\ meritocracy should be promoted and not mediocre or block heads from well to do homes” Laments, a cross section of the population from the North West extraction who are already envying south westerners and the way their ENSET Kumba is functioning with all degree of fairness and transparency. We are here referring to most especially parents who have in no distance time seen the hope of cheap access to Higher Educational training for their children dashed to the wall. This is after coughing out severally large sums for their children to seat for competitive entrances or compile dossiers for recruitment at UBa with no convincing results and are more than the word frustrated with what next to do given that the various institutions are now only offering placement to children from well to do families and matriculated civil servants or teachers who crook their ways in to graduate and embrace more lucrative positions in the economy. This are the varying situation at the University of Bamenda termed for the future which is marring, frustrating and humiliating to the future of young ambitious Cameroonian most especially those intelligent ones who come from poor homes, entrusted in the hands of Nigerian Gurus who understand no other language than mafia. The present management and ordinance does not suit the purpose for which the University was created, reasons why from creation the institution has been rocked countless times by strike actions. As parents are lamenting on the impartiality practiced up there in Bambili by some wayward “Key Position holders”, some private candidates are complaining of high fees, contractors vexed by unpaid outstanding bills, job seekers crossed with the way recruitments are been done, uninstalled appointed officials bitter with the system that is violating and disrespecting the same Presidential decree that appointed them etc. The open provocative style of recruitment based on family lining has caused the whole place to be crowded or infested by relations as each “Big Man” brings in his own relation and makes it only possible for their relations to have access to what so ever lucrative post in the University. The big question is, was that why Biya offered and created the University of Bamenda? That it should be “some people’s show”? On the occasion of the celebration of 50th anniversary of the armed forces in Bamnda, is the doubt cast on every wagging tongue around with worrisome looks and discontempt saying “it is really unfortunate for North Westerners to have an Anglo-Saxon University flooded with daughters and sons of rich Francophone Generals, Colonels, Directors, sectary of states etc” Worst of it all, the institution like a village provision store is run based on gossips and managed haphazardly irrespective of “Big Professors” there in “hen pecked and cannot cough” because the “Patrong” does only what pleases him and suits the interest of those who see in line with him or termed one of those hired detractors to destabilize his government. What is more, parents are also growing mad with the way some lecturers most especially the Nigerian breed of Cameroonian lecturers play around with their daughters from one hotel to another “Changing them like pants” for marks certainly! What a deploring and a dilapidating situation, nauseating of course! That not also being enough, the outright tree felling on campus, has sparked a lot of quarrel and reactions as to why sheds or better still trees much needed now are been felled on Campus. The scandalous ways at which building are being erected within the University with no structured plan has come to rain a series of abuses on the Minister of Higher Education for appointing officials and not closely monitor and supervise their actions. Blames and complains are what has been accompanying the system as those in power, even tired of the criticism pray, they should “come and take the thing” may be that is why all is done here with impunity, reluctance and insouciance. Only God will have to judge every one for actions against humanity, posterity is also there to access those “Big Key Position holders” who have openly sold their consciences for money and will prefer cash to excellence or meritorious candidates from sick and poor backgrounds. As they pretentiously move around claiming to be honest while intellectually sick and dishonest, yet parades corridors of churches as exemplary Christians. “Saah” search your hearts and consciences for what shall it benefit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul in hell, kingdom come is at hand end time is around repent and adjust before it is too late.
