Was it becoming a tool of destruction and hatred? Julius Awafong of Vote Sizing and Atanga Celestine of the Social Democratic Front (SDF) Party, shed their views. Tabi Clarkson of Radio Tiemeni Siantou was the host.
A law, generally, is known as a rule usually made by a government to put order in its society. With this in mind, we all expect to harvest good results when good laws are put in place because the objective is to bring and strengthen peace that will provide a healthy atmosphere for development and wellbeing of the citizens of that society. Laws, rules or regulations are also made by groups, meetings, association, organisations, to keep some order in the way they operate.

Julius Awafong on a live show on Radio Tiemeni Siantu, based in Yaounde, Cameroon, criticises the old version and traditional 1-man 1-vote model of Democracy. How it has promoted corruption and underdevelopment, not only in Cameroon, but in most nations of our planet.
Social Conditions and Poverty in Cartagena
Democracy in Colombia, my country, is linked specifically to our fragile democracy and a lack of genuine representation over a large period of time.
What is poverty in Cartagena?
Poverty is hunger, and not having a warm place to spend the night - instead in a makeshift house from inappropriate materials.
Poverty is being sick and not having insurance or money to cover a basic health needs.
Poverty is not being able to get a decent education,...
Julius Awafong decided to know what students on holiday, attending holiday classes at the English High School Yaounde, EHS, think about Vote Sized Learning.
These students (61 in number) are from different schools around Cameroon and because they are preparing for the next school year, in which they will write their General Certificate of Education Examinations (GCE) Ordinary Level, they have decided to take holiday preparatory classes.
Vote Sized Learning to them was something...

Julius Awafong uses avocado fruits to explain the art of democratic reform.

While acknowledging that the former Ministers of the Economy and Finance, Polycarpe Abah Abah, and Public Health, Urbain Olanguena Awono, could be guilty of misappropriation of public funds, the primary motive of their arrests, beyond reasonable doubt, rests on differing political ideologies in a regime that nourishes dearth of a democracy of opinion.

As President Paul Biya scrambles to figure out how to curb corruption and embezzlement of state funds, the disenfranchised poor, working and middle class Cameroonians, who are the immediate and most affected by corruption, consider themselves mere spectators of this choreographed fight.
Cameroonians are sick of the overwhelming government corruption that plagues every facet of their lives. Almost all officials in positions of responsibility have the embezzling gene. Replacing a Minister or...
