  Press Release   A major part of my 2018 Presidential election manifesto is to at least reconcile the legal integral components of Cameroon for effective sustainable progress – Hence today, 14 December 2013, I, Felix Teche Nyamusa, SDF 2018 presidential hopeful (pending primaries) paid a visit to the Chairman of one of the major factions of the Southern Cameroons National Council (SCNC), Mr. Thomas Nwanchan in his Bamenda office.   SCNC, it is worth mentioning, is a group of Cameroonians said to be representing the people of former British Southern Cameroons.

I initiated discussion with chairman Nwanchan on the way forward of united Cameroon. The discussions are continuing. SCNC and sister organisations are today gunning for total independence of her people because ...

  The finals of the Cameroon Cup took place at the Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium in the presence the Head of YOSA State, President Paul Biya. The match beating Yong Sport Academy of Bamenda alias YOSA against Canon of Yaounde was a clash of the titans. After 90 minutes of play, both teams recorded no goal. Canon 0 - Yong Sport 0.  There was no test for extensions of 2 x 15 minutes because, apparently, the lack of appropriate lighting at the Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium in Yaoundé obliged match officials to decide other wise.  Both teams therefore went directly to the ordeal of the penalty shootout. The players of Yong Sport were perfect in their kicks and the final score, Canon of Yaounde 1-Yong Sport Academy 4.  It should be recalled that this was the first participation of Yong Sport at the Final of Cameroon Cup. More so, Yong Sport qualified after beating JMS of Loum in the semi-final. Created in 2004, Yong Sport Academy moved to Division One in the 2008-2009 Interp...
