The 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final in Morocco—featuring the host nation against Senegal—will be remembered not only for its result, but also for the controversies that surrounded it. Senegal’s 1–0 victory was more than a footballing triumph; it was a powerful statement of resilience, composure, and adherence to fair play in an atmosphere many felt was heavily skewed against them. Concerns emerged even before kickoff. The Senegalese delegation reportedly arrived in Rabat without the customary security escort or official protocol accorded to finalists. They were lodged in substandard accommodation and allegedly forced to shoulder hotel expenses themselves. Ticket allocation…

My heart is heavy, and my spirit is shaken. What we are reading and hearing from Gidado, between Ndu and Ntumbaw, is not a clash, not a reprisal, and not an unfortunate consequence of war. It is the deliberate hunting down and extermination of a family. Women. Children. Elderly people. Even a baby,killed simply because of who they are.This is not resistance. This is not struggle. It is cruelty stripped of all justification after ngarbuh, we said never again. We said it with grief and with hope that such horror would not repeat itself. Yet today, it is Gidado. Tomorrow,…

Leadership, especially in the pursuit of peace, often comes at a profound personal cost. Too frequently, those who lead find themselves placing the needs of others above their own , prioritizing vulnerable communities, responding to pain and conflict, and working tirelessly to heal divisions in a fractured world. In doing so, leaders often neglect their own emotional, moral, and spiritual well-being, even when they themselves are in need of support, love, and peace. Footprints of Peace leadership, especially in the pursuit of peace, often comes at a profound personal cost. Too frequently, those who lead find themselves placing the needs…

The Head of State’s New Year message places youth and women at the center of national priorities for the years ahead. The announcement of 50 billion CFA to support youth-led projects marks an important step toward job creation, entrepreneurship and social transformation. The commitment to strengthen women’s empowerment and participation in governance responds to long-standing civil society advocacy. However, the true impact of these announcements will depend on transparent and inclusive implementation. Management of this fund must ensure that women-led initiatives, young innovators, entrepreneurs and community enterprises are not sidelined by bureaucracy, favoritism or barriers to accessing capital. We also…

FECAFOOT is no longer a federation. It’s a malfunctioning machine on life-support. When an organization spirals into administrative chaos, and forces the government to clean up its unpaid debts, it has crossed the red line of credibility. Other nations like Kenya, Nigeria, Pakistan, D.R Congo etc have either been suspended from FIFA for far less or withdrew and came back stronger only after the rot was cleared out. Cameroon needs the same purification shock.Suspend the system, drain the poison, rebuild from scratch, and return to world football with clean hands and a clean house.Yes, FECAFOOT must be scrapped because its…

In the mid‑1990s, during the death celebration of an Abuh elite named Yong Nguoh—who was a member of the Muteff mystical juju known as the Order of Nantang Yoh—the juju left its shrine in Muteff and moved majestically to the deceased’s compound to pay its last respects. Unfortunately for the Nantang Yoh juju, it had ignored that the day it chose to appease the departed’s soul coincided with the Abuh traditional leadership’s decision to cleanse the community in preparation for the new farming season—a day on which no celebrations were permitted on Abuh soil. When the Nantang Yoh juju approached, the community sent a…
