Words are going round suggesting that two presidential hopefuls as are 'set to form a coalition to defeat President Paul Biya in the upcoming presidential election.' Akere Muna and Maurice Kamto met on Thursday in Yaoundé behind closed doors.

The content of their encounter has not yet been revealed. But some persons have concluded that it's a possible step towards a coalition to overpower Mr Biya.

President Biya is in his 36th year in office. He has won several controversial elections over the years. Some analysts have attributed the failure of the opposition to a lack of a strong coalition to dismantle the 'dictatorship'.

But some opposition leaders, like Edith Kah Walla, have blamed it on the absence of a second round of elections.

Nigeria and the UN have announced that more than 15000 Southern Cameroonians are seeking refuge in Nigeria, the BBC has reported.

The people of the two dominantly English-speaking regions of Cameroon are fleeing from government's brutality in the wake of the Anglophone crisis. Clashes between government forces and Ambazonian separatists have intensified lately.

Apparently the Biya administration is unwilling to bring peace in the regions. The people of Southern Cameroons are yet to know where their abducted leaders are. 

'Mr Sisiku, president of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia', and several others were kidnapped last Friday in Nigeria. International pressure for their unconditional release is yet to yield any fruit, as Biya and Buhari remain adamant.

"Why do we want people from all these shithole countries here?" the president asked, referencing Haiti and countries in Africa, according to a report from NBC News. "We should have more people from places like Norway."

The president thinks an immigration system based on "skills" will keep black and brown immigrants out and let more white ones in. He thinks, if we implemented his immigration policies, we'd get more immigrants from places like Norway. Places where people are tall and blond and look like they could have been in the Hitler youth. 

In practice, a more skills-based immigration system would be unlikely to attract many immigrants from Norway. Norway's GDP is $71,000 per capita. If you're a highly-skilled person in Norway, you probably want to stay there.

As the demographer Lyman Stone notes, immigrants from Africa tend to be far more educated and affluent than typical residents of Africa. A skills-based system would look to the characteristics of individual immigrants, not to the countries they come from.

A key metric in any skills-based immigration system is English proficiency. And there are hundreds of millions of nonwhite English speakers around the world, many of them in Africa.

A policy shift toward more skills-based immigration would probably result in a larger fraction of immigrants coming from Asia and a smaller fraction from Latin America, not a large shift toward Europe, and certainly not toward Norway.

But this immigration policy talk is all kind of beside the point. It was never about the skills.

Wonks and most politicians talk about immigration policy like it's a labor-market policy. But for most voters on both sides of the issue, it's mostly about culture — what kind of people do we want to live around?

Those are the terms in which Trump discusses immigration. He wants a whiter country. And that's why he said what he said.

Pseudo Professor Jacques Fame Ndongo one more attempted to justify the unjustifiable with his now infamous PBHIv. During the graduating ceremony of some two hundred and seventy seven pharmaceutical and medical doctors from the University of Douala,, Fame Ndongo announced the arrival of one hundred thousand more of the Computers.

Without any iota of Shame he us still insisting that 32 GB i more efficient and is equal to a computer with a memory capacity of 500 GB. This action rubbished his reputation and drags to mud his academic robe and certifications. His justifications trying to rob his shit on Microsoft can be sickening. 

Fame Ndongo isn't any Information Communication Technology expert and therefore must be quite. Let him squander his loot quietly rather than attempt justifying what he can't justify. This remains the greatest state scam organized in recent times. These computers were designed and fabricated in China,obtained through an Exim Bank of China loan.

How relevant are these junk computers to the students when they have better computers themselves.

This scandalous scandal from the purchase of these junk computers have infuriated Paul Biya and his anger was openly displayed during the presentation of new year wishes to the President. President Paul Biya is totally aghast and flabbergasted by such stupendously stupefied attitude of a learned Professor like him just because of greed.
