Youth Empowerment Actors, a dynamic youth association for community
developers. The vision was caught by one of Cameroon humble servant leader,
Nyukechen Henry Tambe in October 2015, to bring passionate youth leaders to-
gether through the media. The vision started in the university of Buea and
shared with all faculties and departmental presidents of higher institutions
around Fako Division. Some pioneer members include; Intong Ivo Nyoh as the
pioneer president, Awoh Issac as the Secretary General, Culbert Waltong as the
program coordinator, Neola Lyonga, Culbert Waltong and Lucy Mbu as hosts for
the TV program with CMTV.
After a year of hard work and transition, a new board of executive bureau was
formed in 4 January 2018. With Nyukechen Henry Tambe as CEO and board
Chair, Djeumo Cyrille Eugene as president, Emerincia Awung as program coor-
dinator, Echari Lisa as Secretary General. Tchalima Nchurike and Bi Veroline
as PRO 1&2.
Youth Empowerment Actors now runs programs in different media houses. The
main program, Youth Empowerment Actors runs on Hitv every Saturday from 1-
2pm hosted by Nyukechen Henry. The second program is “Talk to the youth”, runs every Saturday from 12:30-1pm, with
main objective being to bring successful leaders to motivate young people hosted by Djeumo Cyrille Eugene. And the third
program is the Youth Empowerment Forum on mediafriq radio FM 89.6 in Buea hosted by Emerincia Awung. This program
takes place every Sunday from 3-4 pm with the main objective being to lead young people from classrooms to the job mar-
ket.
God has bless us tremendously, we want to bless other youths as well in diverse means. It is in this light that we are intro-
ducing this monthly magazine so as to enhance publicity for young active citizens. We urge you to discover our partners,
and why not be one during the next edition in June 2018.

They were thirty in number, randomly selected from four regions: Centre, Lit-
toral, N.W & S.W after fulfilling the conditions of an online application. For two
days at Hotel Mirador, Mvog-Ada Yaoundé, the media men and women were
schooled by their peers on the need to master peace and elections reporting.
Organized by the Network for Solidarity, Empowerment and Transformation for
All (NewSETA), an organization that seeks to strengthen institutional capaci-
ties, democracy and peace through non partisan research and informational
activities, attendees were empowered on several topics such as:
- Freedom of Expression as a Key to Democratic Advancement in Africa, by Mr.
Lee McManis, Public Affairs Officer, U.S Embassy Cameroon
- Social Media and Elections Coverage by Charles Ebune, CRTV
- The Legal Framework on Elec-
tions and Freedom of Expression in
Cameroon by Ashu Nyenty, CRTV
- Constructive Journalism, the Role
of Peace Journalists in Building
Stable Societies by Rev. Geraldine
Fobang, C.B.S Radio, Buea
- Lightening Talk, My Journey as a
Peace Journalist by Nfor Hanson,
C.N.A
- Merging Theory with Practice,
Cardinal Principles for a Journalist
by Prince Mundi, Vision 4 TV

From the lessons, a newspaper (other mediums included)
doesn't only report the news, it gets people mad to do
something about it. Charles Ebune told his colleagues In
elections reporting, use more of verbs than adjectives. He
also told them that according to the law, journalists haven't
the powers to publish election results. It's the sole respon-
sibility of the Constitutional Council. What the law permits
journalists to do is publish trends. When the Political Desk
Editor at CRTV, Ashu Nyenty took to the rostrum, his
presentation was pregnant with what the law says about
elections with reference to the Constitution of Cameroon,
the Electoral Code, the Criminal Procedure Code and other
law books. But ironically, a vast majority of Cameroonians
especially journalists are ignorant of this.
In a democracy, the media has several roles such as hold-
ing government and politicians to account, primary source
of information for many people, reaching out to the isolated
and disadvantaged in society, serves as platform for public
dialogue and debate. 2018 is an election year in Cameroon
reason why an ELECAM official, Mr. Mbuh Julius was also
brought in as facilitator to educate the journalists on what concerns Elections
Cameroon. Talking on Hate Speech in the Media and how to Tackle it Mr.
Abong Bebey Blaise said Hate speech is that which attacks a person or group
on the basis of attributes such as race, religion, ethnic/national origin, gender,
disability and sexual orientation. He went ahead to cite some frequently used
hate speech terminologies in Cameroon such as Bamenda, Frog, Anglo, Se-
cessionist, Kassang, Kam-no-go, La Republique, Colonialist, Mukala etc.
At the end of the workshop, certificates of participation were handed to the
journalists. They appreciated the workshop organizers for the calibre of facili-
tators and topics handled. With the knowledge gained, they hope to better
cover and report the current sociopolitical crises plaything the nation plus up-
coming elections.

THE PEACE JOURNALIST’ DIARY
DIRE NEED FOR PEACE JOUR-
NALISM IN CAMEROON
In our times, hardly would days go by with-
out frightening stories and reports of killings
from parts of the Northwest and Southwest
regions of Cameroon animating public dis-
cussions, owing to the present sociopolitical
crisis.
The generally referred to as the Anglophone
problem that has reached bloody and
threatening to human peace and securi-
ty in Cameroon’s English speaking re-
gions could be partly blamed on ru-
mours and certain bad practices in Jour-
nalism, such as the attitude by some
newsmen and women who want to
break the news first, without getting the
story right first.
The media is a very powerful tool for
reaching large audiences, especially
when it comes to emergency situations
such as the outbreak of the Anglophone
problem since November 2016.
Like all coins, the present crisis situation
has two sides: it has the power to
spread rumours, which creates unnecessary
fear amongst the people, that in turn leads
to skyrocketed violent actions and it also has
the power to inform and educate citizens on
the dangers of conflicts and wars to serve
precious lives
More knowledge on a particular issue gives
confidence. In the status quo in the North-
west and Southwest, both can be witnessed.
But which of the media houses: radio and
TV stations, newspapers and blogs are cred-
ible and free enough to face the issues
rightly?
Radio is the most important medium for
public information in our community, due to
the country’s literacy level while the newspa-
per remains the most reliable for detailed in-
formation.
On the one hand, the media in general con-
tributed both locally and internationally, to
raising awareness about the
outbreak and the conse-
quences of the now popularly
referred to as “the Anglo-
phone Crisis” in the two sub
regions of the country. On
the other hand, it also breeds
and spreads fear and public
hysteria with accompanying
stigmatization and isolating
effects through hate speech-
es and biased reporting.
It is clear that the current so-
ciopolitical crisis in Cameroon
is of monumental proportions
claiming precious lives on al-
most daily bases, which con-
tinue to pose serious threats
to the human population in
the affected space.
And yet, the brave and cou-
rageous efforts made by ordi-
nary peace crusaders and the
sometimes in-
experienced
populace who
endangered
their lives
preaching
peace and
called for dialogue within
rural communities are less
promoted by our media.
Now is the time to pro-
mote and drum up sup-
port for Peace Journalism
in Cameroon, for Peace
Journalism advocates the
importance of the inclu-
sion of every voice in
Peace Building and Con-
flict Transformation.
If the News corps takes
up this challenge, the me-
dia can positively influence
the reversal of the current
stalemate. The media
should work hard to do
counter narratives to ru-
mours and false reporting
to right wrongs perpetuat-
ed.
There is definitely a lot of
work for Peace Journalists
to do now in Cameroon.
Let’s forget about the
challenge game and go for
appeasement and dia-
logue for we need PEACE
and IT IS VERY POSSIBLE!
NO TO HATE SPEECHES.

The words speak for itself. It means what you read.
Yes, it is exactly what you are thinking about. It is
that moment that quickens an urge within you to
want to shout WOW, or shout “thank God it’s Fri-
day”. It is the moment out of your habitual activi-
ties. Habitual activities being that which we are en-
gaged in daily. During our daily activities, there are
possibilities of tiredness, fatigue, exhaustion, work
pressure, the desire to relax, or maybe needing a
time to rest. For numerous reasons, most enterpris-
es, families, and friends plan on how to relax and
rejuvenate themselves or reanimate a self-
motivation within each individual to be ready and
active on the new day or week.
There are various ways by which our free time can
be spent depending on the individual or group of
persons, or the destination to be visited or the ac-
tivity to be carried out. In most cases, this time is
spent either by going to watch a football match,
watch a movie, play games, attend a
house party, have a few beers with
friends, go on an excursion, etc.
Most times, I ask myself how will an ex-
cursion be like if I was to consider it for
my free time? That question keeps pop-
ping up my mind and finally I got the an-
swer to it. Yes. I think I got it right.
There’s a secret to excursions which com-
prises half or more of the activities which
we carry out during our free time.
This is because of its planning process,
the proposals on destinations and activi-
ties involved. It leaves every participant
with a memorable experience. Excursion
rejuvenates the spirit of the participant, it
enlightens the every newcomer, it is
stress free as it reduces tension and de-
pression for workers, it offers a new way
of discovery, and many more that lies
within the participant.
Excursions are much more exciting
than we think, they help us get on top
of ourselves and are ready to begin
every new week with a more dynamic
spirit.
Let us together engage ourselves and
discover what we might have been
missing out.

In life don't judge others by what you see
(physical appearance), but rather learn to know
them and why they act as they do. They are a
lot of people out there going through pain and
they act poorly due to the situation, they find
themselves. Life is all about helping one anoth-
er, if we can't help them don’t hurt them. Just
your smile will heal their breaking hearts, a
word will make them to forget they pain and
your love will keep them going.

Dogs have inhaled dried cold whisky,
Tots of power from poor master's cup
Have blown their brains,
Eyes ablaze with action,
Perception in confused directions,
Dogs have grown mad.
They rolled on the floor with treble
barks
To act in stupor
At the scratch of poor master's
commanding fingers,
A stun gun to stunt visions
Dogs have grown mad.
They're bringing down skirts of fe-
male preys
Tearing through their bushes with
speedy limbs
In search of what could make them
prey,
Dogs are chasing the wild
That danger to the master's seat
Hunting them to the very end,
Hard times, red eyes, dogs are mad.
Dogs are mosquitoes disturbing
Our peaceful sleep,
Creeping in darkness to waste our
bloods
Dogs are vampires toasting our
bloods
in closed doors
Beasts, slicing our bodies for honour
rolls
Dogs are mad.
They're tossers tossing aside our
movements
Stealing our rights in dark clauses,
Vultures feeding on their own car-
casses
—Nnane Ntube—
Dogs are mad again.
Here comes the bride, Dressed in her Angelic white gown,
Last tears in her eyes,
Regret of sisterhood,
All drawn to her sides,
To meet her womanhood,
Here comes the bride.
Thumps on her left breast,
Words from her month left,
As if like a drawing diver...
This day she'll live to remember,
Here comes the bride,
Dressed in her Immaculate white gown.

From the cry of the gone,
In the house of God,
We met the gun,
With no way to run.
The owners of the gun looked as their tool,
No one to cry to
No hope of rescue,
The fear of the gun was our only wisdom
In their transporter we rested our buttocks,
Then the journey to an unknown began,
The long firing sticks they carried kept us
humble,
We thought we would be gone like the
gone.
Minutes elapsed,
Interrogation onboard commenced,
The search for “amb” on our android
weapons had progress,
The promise of terror was not anbsent.
Then we finally arrived their home,
Sat on their seat,
Looked at their eyes,
And answered their questions.
No one from the feast of the gone knew
where we were gone
Because our ‘talkers’ were attached to their
guns.
In wait for the one who commands the
house.
The sketch continued.
We sat before their screen,
To watch what FIFA had to offer,
Where we really watching it?
We still did not know our fate.
We asked to be allowed to use our
magic talking tool,
Asked for some prayers,
Some backups,
But non from our immediate folds.
We too were praying with closed lips,
Our hearts were talking to the Supe-
rior,
Then the time for solution came,
The wonders of the Lord.
We were told we could go,
But to delete what they thought
was not ours,
And keep only what they thought
was our indelible
Then we offered even to the child
of the house a ‘thank you’
As we anchored on our runner,
We felt like we had seen the gate
of the grave,
We lifted up our hands,
And Said ‘Thank you Lord’
We left without looking back,
In case the occupants of that house
changed their minds.
Traumatized and sad,
We still managed to be happy for we
could still see the light.
The prayer of our backup worked,
Ours worked,
God helped,
We won a battle against the guns
PEACE IS STILL POSSIBLE

the scene of the gun

A lot of discussion had been and it is still going
on why Africa development is still in a wanting
and handicap situation without concrete plan of
action to remedy the mess. Let us go into ac-
tion by doing the little we can do in our respec-
tive countries and communities. Start small and
think big, it will not be full of roses but with re-
sistance, persistent and passion we will be able
to change the narrative in a positive way.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP
”
“
POVERTY IS CAUSED
NOT LACK OF OPPORTUNITY.
BY LACK OF INITIATIVE,
If after completing teachers’ training college, you come home to your
neighborhood and open a daycare center, you will never lack 10 families
that will happily leave their babies in your care while they go out and do
their jobs. If you charge just 10,000FCFA per child per month, you will be
earning 100,000FCFA doing something you love, in the comfort of your
home, that you are great at, and that will never go out of business. But
you prefer to suit-up every morning to go and answer “yes sir” for some-
one else 8 hours a day and 5 or 6 days a week for a monthly salary of
35,000FCFA.
If after completing your university studies in accounting, you sit down and
program a simple small business management software that you can op-
erate from your laptop, the small business owners in your town will be
more than grateful to allow you help them manage their accounts for a
small cash reward. If you charge just 3000FCFA per month per small
business and you have 100 of them, you would be earning more than the
manager of every micro-finance institution in Cameroon, and some bank
managers. But you prefer to wear a suit and tie every morning with your
worn-out shoes to go and work as a teller for a credit union or cashier for
a supermarket that will pay you 42,000FCFA.
This thing called initiative is something they don’t teach us in school. It is
true that creativity and entrepreneurship are conspicuously lacking in the
Cameroonian curriculum at all levels. The evidence of this is that the av-
erage school dropout has a high tendency of becoming the future employ-
er of the average graduate. Yes, when people drop out of school, they be-
come practical students of the real world while those pursuing degrees
remain fixated on the learning outcomes of the outdated curriculum, usu-
ally taught by professors who themselves have no idea what they are
teaching. But let us spare the malfunctioning school system for a while
and turn the attention to us. Because initiative and creativity really boil
down to common sense.
Each time you drink a bottle of Coca-Cola, how often does it occur to you
that all that is in that bottle is water, sugar, gas, and caffeine? Which of
those ingredients is lacking in your town if you want to make your own en-
ergy drink?
Each time you bite a bar of Mambo Chocolate, how often does it occur
to you that this is just paste made out of the same cocoa that is shipped
out of Kumba on a daily basis?
With all the Fulani’s rearing cows on the hills or the North West Region,
how many small businesses do we have that manufacture and sell dairy
products like milk, cheese, yoghurt? Come and see how Njieforbi Bak-
ery, Imagine Bakery, etc. are overflowing with customers, but all you will
find there is Dolait, Camlait, and all the lait’s.
With all the Bamenda boys and girls with degrees in Biochemistry, Food
Technology, etc., which one is working on stabilizing and bottling our
precious Mbuh from Batibo or Palm Wine from Bafut so that we can cut
down on the amount of poison we import from Douala and Equatorial
Guinea in the name of beer and wine?
Go to Bamenda Food Market or Muea Market in Buea of Marche San-
danga in Douala, and you will not need a degree in Agri-business to
know that more than 40% of what is harvested in the farms get lost to
decay due to lack of proper handling and preservation. Yet our wives go
to shops and buy imported processed, and packaged spices and food-
stuff of all varieties?
So it turns out that our problem is not a lack of opportunity but that of
lack of initiative. We can say all we want against the educational sys-
tem, the government, the colonial system, and so on, but no matter how
true those blames are, the ultimate truth is that change begins with us,
and unless we change, we will not see any change in the world.
So, I guess all I am really trying to say today is that this thing called initi-
ative does not need you to have a degree before exercising it. This
thing called initiative does not need capital and connections for you to
find use for it. And those who have this thing called initiative don’t have
time for blames and excuses, because they are busy getting rich.....

It was an amazing time inspiring the students of GBSS Mudeka
together with Health Education for all International on the theme
“My Period My Pride".
These students were enlightened on what every woman and girl
must know about menstruation and the importance of hygiene
management during menstruation as it comes with numerous
changes in preparation for a possible pregnancy.
EnowNchong’s Foundation gave a talk on the ills of teenage preg-
nancy, the disadvantages of being a single mother and ways to
prevent teenage pregnancy.

Talk to the youth recently met Mr. Edmund Linonge, manag-
er of the Africa Resource Group Cameron ltd who equally serves as
the 2018 president of the local youth council - Buea municipality, a
position he has occupied for the past 7 years. Here are the details
of our discussion.
Cyrille (Host of talk to the youth): Good afternoon Ed-
mund and welcome on talk to youth.
Edmund (Guest): Thank you Cyrille.
Cyrille: What exactly have you done for your people as
president of the Buea youth council?
Edmund: the youth of Buea
will always remember me for the great
mobilization I did in 2013 when the
president of the republic was cming to
Buea. I spend my personal money to
mobilized the few organization that I
could. Beside that, I have had the op-
portunity to take some young people
to national and international meetings
on SDG organized by my employer.
This has enable them gain knowledge
on key thematic issues and also travel
to improve their standard of living
sometime without my concern even.
Another project with the
NEPAD I recently organized in Buea
to sensitize youths on effects of cli-
mate change. This was in the form of
a quiz session in Lycee Molyko and
saw the participation of other student
from neighboring communities like
Limbe, Muyuka and Kumba where
they learn the value of their environ-
ment.
Cyrille: How do you finance
this activities?
Edmund: Though I am a low
income earner, I don’t relent my effort
to create impacts. We do fund raising
through appeals letters to our friends
and partners.
Cyrille: Why have you chosen to maintain your munici-
pal seat meanwhile you could upgrade.
Edmund: I have the intention to impact my immediate
environment but I recently mate with the newly elected National
Youth Council president Miss Fadimatou Iyana who promised to
come to Buea this July 2018 to see how we can put strategy togeth-
er to empower the youth and make them see the Africa they want.
My drive is toward the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SGD).
Cyrille: Do you have the feeling to be the best person
representing your organization here in Cameroon.
Edmund: It might not be my place to evaluate my perfor-
mance. But I can be convinced that if they have maintain me for
over 6 years is because they are somehow satisfy with the work I
do.
Cyrille: What do you think is delaying young
people to joining the agriculture profession?
Edmund: I think young people need a good
business plan which can be sponsored by any well wisher
which can uplift the burden of startup capital.
Cyrille: Do you think young people can be pa-
tient to start a project and wait for nine month for it to ma-
ture?
Edmund: Certainly not, they have to diversify,
but most im-
portantly, they
should under-
stand that eve-
ry profession
have it particu-
larity.
Cyrille: what
can young
people do to
attract other
young people
into agricul-
ture?
Edmund:
They have to
be proactive, I
had a case in
2012 where
we were grant-
ed 1.2millins
as seed capital
to do poultry
farming but
because of
poor prepara-
tion the project
die after 2 ses-
sion. I think if
the same situ-
ation was to
occur today,
we would en-
visage for part-
nership with experts.
Cyrille: Packaging and branding of agricultural
products is key to inspiring and motivation in the sector, it
is therefore my recommendation to young entrepreneurs.
Thanks so much Edmund for accepting our invita-
tion.
Edmund: It is my pleasure Cyrille.

10 Questions the Buea
people will like to know
about their future Mayor
POLITICS
“MAN IS NOT MASTER OF
the day of his death”
his strength to withstand
1. Where does he come from? Cyrille come from the western highland of
Cameroon where people believed in destiny and life after death. He grew
up in a polygamous home and can summarized his childhood experience
to identity searching. Djeumo is a Bamileke who want to serve in the
Bakwery land because this hospitable cosmopolitan town has molded him
up to the active citizen he is today.
2. What has Cyrille said before? Cyrille said peaceful change is possible.
He is of the opinion that we should let the people know their true stories
and understand that conflict is not necessary bad, every development has
come from conflicting ideas. He believes that our response to conflict
could also be non-violent. When a people right are marginalized civil diso-
bedience is indirectly call for, however such act need to be well structure
void of grievances. A more coordinated civil resistance, that which does
not;
a. Enrolled young people into extreme radical groups.
b. Separate families, claim human lives, destruction of wealth and adop-
tion of civilians for lumps sums.
But which make the presence of the oppressive government ineffective
through prolong ghost towns, denial to visit government offices and pay
taxes, denial to participate in state activities such as concours, national
and international day’s celebration.
Where we found ourselves, is never too late. But we have a choice either
to educate or to instigate the marginalized minority bearing in mind that
we all have a legacy to leave back after our passage on this earth.
3. What are his sources of finance? His friends will contribute to support
his effort so that the advent of a new and participatory leadership could be
a reality.
4. How is he perceived in the community? He is an active citizen whose
priority is to contribute significantly to social justice of economic freedom
of the girl child, women, youth, aged and the invalid. He has proven rec-
ord to have work with Group pioneer as General Manager, Junior Cham-
bered international (JCI) and Help Hospitality Services.
5. What do his friends and political foes think of him?
That though he is young as much as his political party the Cameroon
Renaissance Movement (CRM), but there is hope to give him a chance
because he could be subject to accountability.
6. What specific measures will he used to resolve insecurity in Buea?
Being a peace crusader, he will definitely follow the steps of Mahamat
Gandhi and Nelson Mandela. If ghost towns is the way forward, then
the people will would be done as intended in their heart. We shall en-
gage in intensive agricultural activities to curb the hurger and poverty
that might rise.
7. Where exactly will he start if he wins? He will call for a general meet-
ing to listen to the people and there after their will would be implement-
ed.
8. How will he financed this? Just like religious infrastructures are con-
structed by Christians who later maintain and protect such wealth, He
will work with men of God and economic operators home and abroad to
embark on a crowd funding program to rebuild their municipality.
9. How is he different from your opponent? The fact that they are oppo-
nent doesn’t make them our enemies. At the level of approach we intern
to bring in a participatory management way of life where all the socio-
logical component of the cosmopolitan municipality of Buea is involve
both at decision making and implementation as innovation to the cen-
tralized and partisan system we currently have.
10. If he wins, can we expect coalition with other political parties? Gen-
erally coalition is before election, however we are working on directives
from the national directorate to do so. And if the council end up repre-
sented by a multiparty structure, we of the majority will always take in
consideration the preoccupation of the minority groups.
11. With who and why? Legal political parties of the opposition like
SDF, PDF etc. which places man at the center of decisions.
