Je ne crois pas voir vu les titres des ouvrages publiés il y a quelques temps déjà tel que "The disillusionned african" par exemple. Pourquoi?
Bon courage

Ooh!, I now can savour that style again. Had lost my copy of Mind Searching four days after I bought it over a decade ago. Had also been wondering what has become of Nyamjoh...hunted and haunted out like it is the tradition in the Cameroons?
Thank God for him. An invaluable gem in the literary landscape of the Cameroons.

I thank you a great deal for this site with all these interesting writings.
Unfortunately, there is no link to get in touch with Professor Nyamnjoh.
I am preparing a Ph.D and I would deeply appreciate to get in touch with Professor Nyamnjoh. How can I get in touch with him ?

Hello Prof.,
From the eyes of a friend i saw you... with my very eyes, i now see u.Africa needs more of u and ur kind; those whose pens always drinks from the inkpot of our land, the heart of our ancestors.peace
Posted by: Pascal Umekwe | June 24, 2008 at 05:31 AM
Hi Pascal,
Thanks! As you know, drinking from inkpots should be like pouring libation - measured, as no one wants the ancestors unsettled with too much drink!!!!

I'm visual artist and performer in NYC. It's 5:00am here. I'm doing some search because I have an opportunity to bring the Tikar from cameroon to perform in 2009 to Jazz and Heritage Festival in Louisiana USA. That's why I get here.
I think this is great. Good job and keep going.
Best

Hi Issa,
thanks. I'm sure you'd find lots of Tikar artists for your festival. Prince Afo-Akom is one amongst several. Good luck with your festival. You could also access Tikar and Tikar related literature at: http://www.africanbookscollective.com/publishers/langaa-rpcig

Just went through some of the publications on your site. As one who knows you, I am not surprised at the high quality of your works. And as good as they are, I am still left with this feeling: that the best of you, the best from you is yet to come....I am sure that we ain't seen nothing yet. I am sure to return to this site many more times.

By inconspicuously setting this switch to off, you make certain no one can begin the stairlift without your permission. With the support of a stairlifts individuals as well as their family members, can once more, get right up and down the stairs without difficulty and regain complete utilization of the hoses.

These technologically advanced stairlifts has a complex structure and are battery powered. Furthermore, AC powered stairlifts are affordable and you never possess the annoyance of changing or charging batteries every couple of weeks.
