From Nkwen to Hollywood: Why Fon Azefor III Honoured World-Renowned Surgeon Dr. Mal Fobi for a Lifetime of Service

Image
Colbert Gwain | The Muteff Factor  In Muteff situated off the jaws of Abuh in Fundong Subdivision of the Boyo Division of Cameroon's North West Region, elders often say that no matter how far a child travels, the footsteps that matter most are the ones that find their way back home. During village gatherings, it is not uncommon to hear stories of sons and daughters who left in search of education and opportunity but whose greatest honour came when their communities welcomed them home—not because of the wealth they accumulated, but because of the lives they transformed. Across the grassfields of Cameroon, traditional recognition has long been reserved for those whose achievements elevate the dignity of their people. It is perhaps in that spirit that His Royal Highness Fon Azefor III of Nkwen bestowed one of the Fondom's highest traditional recognitions on Emeritus Dr. Mathias Asongwe Lawrence (Mal) Fobi during the 25th Convention of the Nkwen Cultural and Development Association...

Binka Cattle Market completed—promise fulfilled, progress for all

The Binka Cattle Market represents a cornerstone in the fight against poverty. By providing a modern, organized, and accessible space for cattle trading, the market will stimulate local commerce, create new opportunities for farmers and traders, and strengthen the economic backbone of the region. Livestock remains a vital source of livelihood in the Grassfields, and this market ensures that producers and buyers can interact in a safe and structured environment. The ripple effects are immense: increased household income, improved food security, and greater resilience against economic shocks. Beyond its economic significance, the market contributes directly to public health. Traditional cattle trading often took place in informal, unhygienic settings, exposing communities to risks of disease and poor sanitation. The new facility incorporates improved infrastructure that prioritizes hygiene and safety, safeguarding both traders and consumers. This is a clear demonstration of how developme...

The pen, the people, the politics — Chris Mbunwe lived them all with honor

Image
Chris Mbunwe was a man whose presence touched journalism, culture, and politics in Cameroon in profound ways. I first met him in 2000, when I was transferred from Yaoundé to Bamenda to serve as the North West Regional Bureau Chief of The Farmer’s Voice. From that moment, I recognized in Chris not just a journalist, but a refined professional deeply committed to truth and integrity. His reporting was never about chasing headlines; it was about giving voice to ordinary people and preserving the dignity of his community. Chris’s career in journalism was remarkable. He served as Bureau Chief of The Post in Bamenda, where his sharp mind and fearless reporting earned him respect across the region. He also rose to become President of CAMASEJ, the Cameroon Association of English-Speaking Journalists, where he championed the rights and responsibilities of the press. More recently, he officially launched his own newspaper, a testament to his vision and determination to create platforms that spok...
