john magufuli  John Magufuli who is the new president of Tanzania has joined many residents of the main city of Dar es salaam in a public clean up campaign. The new president has been named the "Bulldozer" for his humility and senseful approach. The move is being seen as symbolic of the president's promise to tackle corruption."Let us work together to keep our country, cities, homes and workplaces clean, safe and healthy," His Excellency Magufuli told a crowd of surprised onlookers as he picked up dirts off the streets of Dar es salaam. Magafuli who is nicknamed the bulldozer took power on the 23rd of October this year and since then has announced a range of cost cutting measures, such include the ban on unnecessary travel by government officials. This new president paid a surprised visit to the state hospital and found  patients lying on the floor, filled with anger, he immediately sacked the head of the main hospital. May Tanzania be that model country he is trying to bring out, that free of corruption an pandemics.

Anglophone candidates given all instructions in French



According to Cameron Journal investigations, Regardless of recent general outcry by Anglophone Cameroonians over government’s policy of systematic eradication of the English language in the country and their second fiddle treatment by Yaounde, the general organization of the 2015 edition of Teachers’ Grade One Certificate examination, under the auspices of the Ministry of Secondary Education, once again violated the rights of Anglophone candidates.

Examination instructions to Candidates and invigilators in the Anglophone zones of the country were all in the French language to the detriment of Anglophone candidates most of whom know very little French.

The preamble, for instance, of the candidates’ answer sheets that required candidates’ general information and other necessary information about the exam were all printed in French.

Some of the Teacher Students in Bamenda who spoke to the Cameroon Journal on July 09, lamented that they could not understand why in a bilingual country that is Cameroon, the French language was being imposed on them when they did their studies entirely in the English language. The students called on the powers in charge to normalize the situation in the 2016 session of the examination.

Were the Cameroon Girls enslaved in Kuwait sponsored by Mr. John Egyaman?



John Egyawan who operates one of the agencies in Buea that sponsors young Cameroonian girls for work in Kuwait. Last week, CRTV magazine program – Cameroon Calling, opened disturbing true story of some of the girls testifying to being tortured, enslaved and abused. 

The program then accused Egyawan and his organisation mainly, of trafficking the girls who end up abused and tortured in Kuwait and Lebanon.

Mr. Egyawan was then approached by The Cameroon Journal to get his side of the story on how he conducts this business. He was very specific that the case of the abused girls has nothing to do with his agency. He actually feels like his is a victim when he said he is being singled out because they cannot identify the other agencies.

“I am very visible. I have an office. We are a legal entity in Cameroon. The problem is that there are hundreds of agents in Cameroon but they cannot be identified, – they operate illegally. I am just the drop in the ocean of people from Cameroon doing this. I operate clearly, orderly and with transparency. Egyawan said. 


When Mr. John was asked to give prove that the girls he had sent to Kuwait were fine, he sai,

“Yes, I can, but I will do that to you personally. I would not like their names or numbers to be published except they give you that right. I will mix theirs with numbers of family members you can also call. And some that came back from Kuwait who still wish to go back there.”

Cameroon Journal confirmed that he gave a handful of phone numbers for both Kuwait and Cameroon to call for further investigations.
