This is great then

Hope this will change something in UB, well for what i know its going take sometime this University to overtake UB

Is it abt having another university or trying to manage others we have already?Moreover where do they intend to erect a building for a univerity in Buea?..This is a very bad idea for me since there are trying to creat more room for strikes and politics in UB now.They will spoil UB more since they will expect the rejected to go to the Catholic Uni...this thing should be looked into again and again...The Location is the main things here now…

At last some gud nesw from buea.I think Buea really need spiritual intervention with all the sexual and spiritual holabalos happen over there.atleast the catholic uni will help clean up some of the mess.

This is a very bad idea. Bamenda would have been a more better place to get this thing done. Buea is too small to accomodate two universities. Where do they intend to build the infastructure.
Another place that could stand a chance is Kumba. But for the sake of politics in Cameroon, I know it’s coming to buea cos if the big boss heard bamenda, the file won’t have been approved.
Well, let’s try and see. It’s gonna fail or will be shut off by the government giving that the population will provide better grounds for election revolt in 2011

@ Forcha,USA.stop reason`n like a douche.u r just simply being tribalistic here.why is it that north westerners like complain`n when “things” r alocated to the SW?.U go as far as say`n“Buea is too small to accomodate two universities. Where do they intend to build the infastructure”.Buea is 10times better off than b`da any time any day,location wise,topography wise,...just to name a few.A guy with your IQ should have a LOW voice to........,so keep talking, someday you’ll say something intelligent.You are in a major minority if you think like that but every one is entitled to their own opinion.Retard!

Look Forcha, I dissagree with you.Did you read the above write up very well.This is not politics,this is religion and church.All Diocese are independent so Buea Diocese has got the right according to canon law to creat univesities,hospitals,school etc in thier respective diocese if they feel necessary and got the man power to do so ok.No body has stop Bamenda diocese from creating one.This is not a state university.Had it been it was one,then we would have cried out loud that government was wrong to do so.please we should think rightly here.

HEY this is not an issue of Bamenda or Buea but rather we should look at its impact and contribution to Buea in Particaular and Cameroon as a whole.

I think this is a good idea here because it will create a competitive atmosphere that will bring about acedemic excellence and it will also be an opportunity for those living in or around Buea who are not opportuned to be admitted into the University of Buea to benefit.

What do you guys think about this?

@ Bareta Mark,Yaounde,thanx 4 mak`n the point crystal clear to some dumb bull-ass tribalistic brainiacs who can`t reason on their own bcos they`ve got no properly functioning brains.I don`t care.I will always call a spade a spade.So who ever expresses shit on this site shd expect a shity response.By the way mr Forcha,USA,There is more chance winning the lottery, getting eaten by a lion in Antarctica or buea gett`n another institute of higer learn`n than for crap bamenda to get a university.B`da shd console itself with ENS Bambili bcos that`s what it deserves,atleast for now.

Peace!

I am from South west fellows. I am not being tribalistic. You guys need to know that the university cannot be created without the approval of the state.  Bamenda Sucks!!  I wish you were able to get to the roots leading to institutional creation & development in Cameroon. I talked of Kumba. is Kumba also in the north west. lets look at the benefits of such a development. Buea is already kinda small for the populace.
Building another university in Buea is not going to be a good idea when there are other places which could better accommodate it. I want you guys to look at the population of Buea in 2020 and tell me if Buea will be able to accommodate 20000 more people.

Kumba stands a better place, building the university along the muea Ekona or Ekona muyuka road will be a good idea coz that is the only place where there still seems to be land. But the question is, What is the possibility of CDC and Delmonte giving up that land for infrastructure.

Please be an objective critic. Do not criticize when you don’t have enough to support your points. The purpose of such forums is for us to disagree objectively and later agree in peace, not to attempt to override others, pour insults, or say this is better than this without valuable backup points. When you compare two things you have to justify why one is better than the other.
Thank you and pls, be objective when writing to public forums.

Do we really need the creation of another university be it in Buea,Kwakwa Bakundu or in Kikaikileki at this moment when there are millions of young university graduates already crowding our streets with good job insight. What i believe we should be creating now is jobs for the already millions of unemployed young graduates .

@ Esape; please Cameroon need Universities especially Universities of English espression So I salute the idea of Creating a University in Buea;Mind you the University is a professional one not like other state universities which are not professional.What Cameroonians need now is professional education.Had it been our universities were professionalised then I think the rate of Unemployment would not have been there.

For you Forcha,yes when you put an argument that Buea will be small in some years to come that the universities would have been good in kumba or Ekona;I agree with you.This is because it will lead to the development of those town but from my insight source Kumba might soon become a diocese on its own,well Tiko or along Ekona would have been better but as at now I think it is a good idea coming with such project but I refuse to accept the fact that why was the university not made in Bamenda,i had earlier put forth the reason why because each diocese enjoys autonomy in every aspect.

For you another Cameroonian,you have refused to identify yourself, well I do not appreciate your last statement that Bamenda should console her self with ENS.The young generation of Anglophones should not think in this light,we should encourage universities there especially st

For you another Cameroonian,you have refused to identify yourself, well I do not appreciate your last statement that Bamenda should console her self with ENS.The young generation of Anglophones should not think in this light,we should encourage universities there especially state universities,or we should challenge the bamenda diocese to immediately start thinking of creating one ok.

funny in here.
let the big brother talk.
buea, bamenda, kumba, i think we need to applaud the church for stepping in to help solve the problem of educated but work useless cameroonians.
i am talking from the vocational part.
let them leave out social science and concentrate on telecoms, IT and agriculture, animal husbandry / forestry.
but the big problem is the fees. just wait and see. they will charge 1.5 million per year and the chosen few will attend. catholics suck, but thats better than these tithe collecting thieves who create churches around and do nothing to help but performing mamiwata given miracles to stupid gullible low faithed christians. I did not call any names like TB Josh and Chris etc
long live the pope, peter’s chop chair, long live the catholic diocesan unibu.

UBSTUDENTS.COM OOOHHHH YEEEEEEHHHH!!!
men I like the activity and the contributions. Thanks for the good education you spreading. But one unknown fellow came in and was insulting Forcha who he doesnt even know. Men that could be your next employer bro, so please relate well.
As for the university in Buea, men I like it because it will lead to more diversity and more developments in academics and socials. even Technology. Welcome new UB ;)

What an interesting debate going on here while reading the article i have been eager to find one thing and at the end i ws disappointed i did not see what i was looking for. Say massa find out where that new university will be built that will save future debate.
I strongly share Forcha’s point of view. Buea is too small and we all know that more population less land will bring more problems. let us face reasoning here. unless those argueing did not study geigraphy in skool.
This progect has many short term benefits but with seriously detrimental long term cost. i see many english speaking cameroonians gaining access to the much needed higher education. and as the catholic university grows so does population. Unles buea has some hidden land it will soon face serious trouble in the near future.
Bamenda is a good choice in terms of land and topography so is kumba as kumba has been neglected for a long time and a new universoty there will bring better infrastructural development. Development should be equally distrubutee not discriminated.
*sighs* i’ll end here with my last words THIS PROJECT SHOULD BE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERE IN TERMS OF LONG TERM COST.

What of the land from Mile 17 to Mutengene. would people not live in Bomaka, Mile 16, Mile 14 and take taxis to school ??
or the students must live in Buea to attend school in Buea ???

We are living a system design by our greedy fathers and in this country, politics is the medium for any change whether good or bad. So fellows be it Buea, Bda or Kumba, for a university to be planted in any of these places politics will still be the medium because even in the Vatican, there is politics.
2yrs ago about the same period of the year, Presbyterian church Kumbambeng were having a fund raising where every individual in that congregation and in every Presbyterian church in Cameroon as a whole had to contribute. The reason for this fund raising was to build a Presbyterian university in B’da. Now i don’t know how far they have gone with their plans but i hope it comes to pass.
The virus called corruption has taken over the system even the church but we, the once who need these universities are the anti virus so we have to clean the system but we can’t do that by insulting each other but by being realistic. I strongly think the church should take another leak at this project from a different angle. 

@Churchill, i’d hope this going change some stuffs especially in UB. @Escape You see, the world of tech hasn’t reached UB, i’m a student there, and i know what it means to be a UB student. Ok get this i’m presently in Calabar, Nigeria to visit, first thing i get for a welcome is where your university website you guys talk alot about, we can’t get infos on it, what do they offer as courses? All types of questions which if some of the professional schools the new wants to provide where there present in UB, that would have relief some questions on me, like it or not Buea remains the best place for now, people most live in buea in order to get to school, or you think buea is too developed to accomodate another university? Cut things short i’d buy Barak and Churchill’s ideas,

I’d be a great idea if possible, and reduce U B’s depression and create competition to a modern education. God bless all those that will make it possible......... 

It w’d be a great idea if possible, and reduce U B’s depression and create competition to a modern education. God bless all those that will make it possible......... 

It seems sompe people here are writing for writing sake.please I wish that we should leave Bamenda out of the question here.We should concentrate on Buea Diocese.I have earlier said the decision to creat a university in buea is an autonomus decision by the BUEA diocese because each diocese is independent.Has Bamenda Diocese complaint that they have deposited a request to yaounde and yaounde has refused? offcourse not.When Bamenda Diocese will be ready for a diocesan university,they will have ok.so lets forget about them for now.There is no politics here please.

I agree with all of you who shared the idea that Buea will be small for the university but I want to believe the church is using buea to represent Mile 17,Mile 14,Muea,Bomaka so any of those areas will be good for the university to be erected because it will bring massive development to those areas as molyko has become.I am not seeing any where in Buea Central town where this massive structure could be erected.

I have said kumba should be left out because such structure can never be done there,reason being that Kumba in some few years will soon become a diocese on its own ok,so buea cannot afford to loose her university to kumba diocese ok.

God bless

Hahahahhahahaha what an interesting debate.

You know what guys?we are getting the trend of this debate wrong here,we should not look at whether this university should be in Buea or where so ever but rather i think we should look at the economic implications and development that will accrue there from.

The erection of this University like Bara Mark said is not the initiative of the government but that of Buea diocess which is Autonomous from all other diocess in where ever in cameroon. The government simply plays the role of approving the idea which i think is great step.

Economically, this new university is going to stimulate ecinomic activities, create new jobs as some graduates will be employed in various capacities, most importantly infrastructural develpment.All this put together will bring about economic growth and development to Buea in particular and cameroon as a whole.

Have you guys also thought about the fact that this university will bring about massive competition in terms of professionalism not only with the University of Buea but also with other universities in cameroon,which intern move universities in cameroon to international standards.

Hey before i go, somebody talked about the fact that Buea lack space, for me this is not true, just have a look of how houses are constructed in europe and other countries and you will bare with me that buea can accommodate even up to 3 universities. Its just a matter of town planning.

ahahahahahahah don’t be mad at others guys.

what do you think about my point of view?

let us look at this from many angles. the fees will be too too high, Insoficient space, scramble for the limited public utilities and what have you? As far as i am concerned, it is a bad idea for that Uni to be in Buea.

creativity shouldn’t be negatively viewed,but positively modified.while creating a new university,jobs should be created as well.hope u understand.
CYRIL “POPO”

Hi all,from what most pple have posted,i can see that i am being considered the “bad one”.I am not bakweri or from buea and have nothing against bamenda or Northwesterners infact I was even born in B`da.I was just try`n to discourage onesided english speak`n cmr`nians who always pass biased arguements when gr8 things are happen in either the NW or SW province.and don`t call Buea small,because all big cities started like small towns.what also makes u think that buea hasn`t got enough land? have u mapped out the boundaries of buea?
@ Mambe Churchill Nanje,AfroVisioN Group Buea,I am UB product and an Msc holder from a world class university in Europe and pro at what i do,i will not beg or ask for favours from anyone bcos i am educated and was hired based on my qualification,not bcos of connection or roots as is the case most of the time in cmr,so i will never ans “yes sir” to a retard just bcos i am seek`n for a favour.parce que je suis un pro dans ma profession .By the way the mr so-called Foncha can never be my employer and he shd`nt preach objectivity bcos when he was post`n his initial comments he was`nt being objective.

cmeroon will never change if we continue reason`n in a biased maner.

cheers.

hey Cameroonian,
never say never ;)

The problem here is not the fees,all professional schools are always expensive even in Europe, so rather than people going abroad to spent such monies,if we have the facilities here why not enrolled.I think with more professional schools,jobs will be created.It has happened in other countries so it will happen in Cameroon.Let us be optimistic.Like I said when the University comes,those who have thier money should go there.What we pay in the University is registration fees and not school fees per say because government had got the means of subsidizing and paying our lecturers.What then do u expect from a private University like that which would be created in Buea to do,offcourse the fees must be much more higher,if not the university would not be able to pay her professionalised lecturers and take care of the school.So please let us keep the issue of fees aside.Whether it is 1500000frs for the fees,it is much ok.

Good news to you all.I heard the university will be situated in BOJONGO.You know Bojongo is in the Buea diocese.Limbe will have to profit same as Bojongo will soon become a town like Molyko.

God bless

@ Ebot Tabi:
The essence is not to compare with UB.

@Thunder:
This new school will have a realtively higher number of applicants. Know that after the government and CDC, it is the catholic church that owns the most land. so land is not a problem. Perhaps you thought Buea is only Molyko. You should visit Buea Rural council to know the definition of its territorial lilmits. besides, the article refers to Buea diocess which is much bigger and not Buea town.

@ the gunner:
It is not a new catholic university that will bring spiritual intervention. the proof is that there are already so many catholic schools and churches around Buea but immorality still prevails.

@Forcha:
Don’t go tribalistic. If Bamenda diocess wants theirs, they can make theirs. nothing stops a diocess from its autonomy as BaraMark will never stop reminding us. Buea diocess having it’s own university will not prevent another diocess
from having its own in any way. You have totally missed the point. 2011 elections has got nothing to do with this.
We know we all need more schools and you are busy saying that creating a school is a bad idea just because it is in Buea and not Bamenda.
Besides, u know urself that Kumba has such wild inhabitants who would readily destroy infrastructure in the least strike opportunity.

@escapa e.m:
May be you didn’t understand this article bery well. If you read again, you would notice the first four professional schools to be created in the university. This instead remedies the umemployment problem you blindly cry about. UB has less professional schools, that is why its graduates will always be jobless atleast for a while.
With this future hotcake professional schools, unemployment will visibly reduce.

@sly:
Calling your self big broda does not make your self big broda. You are who’s big broda? Others should rather call you big broda and not yourself.

Good job to Churchill, BaraMark and Ebot Tabi

my own comment na say i don already start cry for how way this catholic church go tax we money for build school. they go surely form kind kind by kind offertory them with harvests them.
Then i hope say the thing go increase we population correct so that our DYNASTY ACADEMY go make more impact!

It’s dynasty baby....!!

This debate has come to an end. The minister has already signed the go ahead and nopw BOJONGO has been choosen. That is a great choice in my opinion because i’m from sasse and i know very well how neglected that arear is. The appearance of a university there will spur growth and development. The high rate of unemployment in cameroon is not du to unsufficient degrees but rather due to lack of employment opportunities and the high corruption in the country. More higher education skools, more professionals and hence an increase in the unemployment rate.
My advise is we should make use of our education and start our own businesses rather than wait for the govt. This new university will be crucial in solving this problem unless we become to lazy to b3 sole propietors. Let us forget location and politics for now and share ideas on the economic impact of the institution.

Yes twinsdom the debate has come to an end thanks to me for bringing the location to our loving readers finally but it was important for us to debate.what we did was an intellectual exercise.

Good luck to all

Well ,now that the site of the university had been choosen(Bojongo) we should know sit and wait and see our dreams,to those who are dreaming come to a reality,that the simply creation of a professinal university in Buea means mass employment will follow suit to those would be graduates!  @horace: do you honestly believe the creation of this professional university at Bojongo,Buea mean the creation of more jobs to the wouldbe graduates?Mr Horace i believe you are just mentally masturbating your brain which is neither good for mental hygine ,for the simple fact is that the creatiopn of a professional school does not in any case means the creation of jobs, but simply more qualified unemployed young graduates.Jobs needed to be created inorder for the graduates to be be employed and not the contrary.

what i know and i have seen is that when one leaves from a professional school, he is being hunted by employers. He is like a beautiful virgin just ripe for marriage and all the men run behind him. you have more than enough proofs.
CUSS
E.N.A.M.
E.N.S.P. (Polytechnique)
E.N.S.
I.U.T.
even vocational training centers like I.V.T.C. and O.I.C. there is no unemployed graduate from such school.

Let me give Esapa this simple example that any nursery school child will understand.
A student who has a degree in political science from ub will chaff with unemployment. the degree is almost useless or rather valueless in Cameroon. He will end up not working or earning a job in Cameroon by virtue of that particular degree. contrarily, the oncoming school of agriculture which will include forestry and animal husbandry in this catholic university will give graduates the opportunity to manage animal farms of others or yet operate their own animal farms.

Another proof of the goodness of professionalized education is that students from technical and commercial high schools readily have jobs while those from grammar schools still have a long way to go.

I pray Esapa’s are mental capacity is sane enough to understand this.

@Horace, eloquent write up there. But i wonder which company goes hunting for Enam, CUSS, ENS, IRIC etc graduates. Last time i checked, they are employed by government. Now things have changed. Some of them huzzle for jobs like those from general education. They bribe to get in, they bribe to get jobs. I’ve moved around africa a little, i work daily with about 3O different african nationalities. Cameroonians are about the smartest people you will ever meet trust me. The subject should be reoriented towards job creation. We should focus on self employment. I agree with you on the vocational aspect, but our country does not encourage the birth and growth of SME’s. I could go on and on.
Did i say big broda, my bad. I meant small broda. Keep fighting the good fight.
Cheers mate.

I agree with Sly, even with the reorientation of the subject towards job creation. Just that we should stop biting our fingers and grumbling because we are not in the position of our leaders who are the one’s to address this problem. so i propose that we should do what we can and have to do apart from biting our nails while leaving the rest to those officials i don’t want to attach adjectives to.

@Mambe Churchill Nanje
I repeat “Never ever”!

if there is an initiative like that i hope it materializes cuz cameroonian youths are found wanting in professional skills.its a good idea but the problem too is the location.it would have been better off in limbe.but lets keep our fimgers crossed that things work well.someone talked about bamenda.i believe that the presbyterian authories took the initiative and intends building a professional university in bali but its still pending.so the location is not a political issue

Every project has to be appraised in terms of the

- Financial
- Technical/Operational
- Organisational
- Marketing and
- Risk components etc.

If these components have been carefully examined and considered, then the issue of location,regional balance, budget, competition, infrastructure etc which has been a subject of debate has been taken care of.

However, notwithstanding the approval of the project file, it is not a guarrantee for success.

The project file can be reviewed to take care of some of the important issues raised in the debate.

It is a good project which i think if well executed is going to add value.

The relevance of education in any community is necessary to impact change.

This is my area and i will not hasitate to participate if i am called to do so.

Good news for the youthful population and sustainability of education

Hey Guys,
thanks so much for all the effort and time you spent on clarifying issues that have been misunderstood by some significant others who have blinded themselves with the dark clothe of tribalism. Be it B`da,Buea or where ever, it deosnt matter as long as the english speaking zone is concerned and a well defined system of education that will spur young graduates to start up businesses of their own or get employed in the system.Thanks to God almighty for using His hand made; Bishop Bushu, to create the institution that the country needs especially now that things are so rough even in the dream land.
The more cameroonians realised that they are responsible for the changes to come into that country, the better for us. I am in support of that university and will contribute to that in anyway i can because it will help enhance economic growth not only to the inhabitants of Buea but cameroon at large.
We need young intrepreneurs and engineers to spur up the economy with their young brilliant ideas.Rather than spending millions of CFA to get into ENAM or other quack institutions that will only promote corruption,frustration and anger; while not spend this million in a well defined university that will be recognized internationally? The idea of the university is perfect. God bless you all expecially the Buea diocese and the entire country as a whole.

Bara mark, i truly appreciate your comments. You fall in between the two lions fighting for supremacy so while not strike a compromise. i am in support of you my dear.

Please let us leave space and place here and look forward for the better. i am not tribalistic but i feel ashamed that educated young youth cant hide the evils of tribalism in them even when it comes to writing a blog read by millions. Shame to you all. Buea was chosen for a reason best known to the catholic organization concerned. Bishop Bushu is from Bamenda and the other catholic heads are from B`da,if they choose the South west, there must be a reason so you guys who prefers b`da, you better start writing to the Ash Bishop to create another university for you. That university will be in the south west province and there is Little or nothing you can do about that. God`s hands will not depart from a land whose inhabitants are so giving,kind and merciful. God bless those who stand against this evil of tibalism. AMEN.

Mimi, I am so surprised you started so well and ended up so badly. Did this “We need young entrepreneurs and engineers to spur up the economy with their young brilliant ideas.Rather than spending millions of CFA to get into ENAM or other quack institutions that will only promote corruption,frustration and anger; while not spend this million in a well defined university that will be recognized internationally?” really came from you?

If you call ENAM a quack institution, then the University created won’t be anything better. Our country doesn’t lack the talent(s), we simple lack a good governing body.

How many graduates are at home and can’t even find a job? What difference will it make when people then graduate from the catholic university. Is it gonna be so special that employers/government will start absorbing them immediately after they graduate?

How do you start a business on your own. with mere ideas and no finance?(both go together).

OK, you just said, “that university will be in the SW province” could you please tell us what you think about the university being in Buea/Bojongo and not else where in the SW province?

Are you in one of your last sentences implying that people from Bamenda are evil and that’s why God cannot reward them?

To better fight for our youths, please abandon your asylee status and return home just so we can know that you can die for your country.

Dont get me wrong Puttam straight, Enam is a well renown instition ok. I said and “other” quack” meaning other institutions that are not recognised in the academic system but claims thousands of CFA for fees.Enam is a good institution but do you know how many poeple spend their millions to get into enam and become frustrated because their bribes couldnt go through? That is what i mean. Enam is good but how corrupt it is? Only God knows.

Oh my God,why are u getting so emotional. Is my status here a problem to you? Dont get jealous sweetheart. This place is open to you and i know if you ever get the oppurtunity to get here then you will jump out of your shadows.I didnt say b`da poeple are evil my dear, you read beyong the contexts and better read and understand before you express your stupidity. I dont have time to battle words with your kind so please spare me your time and do something better and who say graduate must be employed to make a living? Get beyong that and think creatively and stop spilling your tears over spilled milk.

How I wish I was NOT in America sweetie?
OK, mimi hollam tight for South side.

Abeg, wona try download language and spelling checks plugins them, install’am for wona browsers them.
English worry!!! :-D

Mimi you know what? you have very good points but you have to learn how to be polite when it comes to public discusions.

The Problem is not being or travelling abroad but rather our contributions towards the development of our country.

Mimi you and I knows the hard times and challenges that we face here and i think PUTTAM STRAIGHT just said the bitter truth, its high time we get back home and do something about all the above highlighted problems.

I earlier said that this is an interllectual environment for us to share ideas around current issues happing in our country and not an avenue to through insults at each other.

Thank a million for all the contributions so far.

I love you all guys

Well my dear, thanks for the advise. I do appreciate it but some guys dont know how to manage their anger or where to express them so it is better to tell them what they deserve to hear and i did just that. Anyone in support of guys throwing insult on those who has nothing but good intentions for the growth of others certainly dont deserve to write in a blog. It is not meant for temper tantrums but rather a place to share and express your own point of view for better clarification.No insult is intended here darling. Thanks…

Look my brothers,the whole thing of change is similar to Christian religion and especially in our African Context.Change hardly comes without blood shed or better still without suffering.Some people must definitely pay the cross for change, the blacks in USA paid with their blood.Jesus Christ came into this world to save us from sin,he died and shed his blood before we could gain salvation which is free thus it goes without saying that,before change could come in any difficult situation some people must sacrifice.There are people who are ready to do that.Let the right time come.

Hahahahahahah, Bara Mark, i seem not to understand you any more, its like you are trying to change the context of this Debate to something else now.

If that be the case, i will suggest you spell out the topic so that we can proceed from there.

Are we to debate now on how Change and Development can be brought about in cameroon?

yeah boh!!
it is time we start thinking seriously about what has to become of our cameroon. when i sit down and imagine that a subsequent president of the republic will come from our generation and many other future leaders too, i begin to support the move of sacrifice for change.

it is left to us to do all that. yeah i can “sacrifice”. it is just the degree that may vary

Yes Kang, am trying to deviate from the original topic to talk about change in Cameroon.You know in some a year and the half,we shall be having elections.As youth we must participate actively.I decided to post it here because I know many people will see especially those with whom we have been debating.

You see my brother I got very angry when I see people being afraid of change or better still they want it on a platter of Gold

As i said earlier AS JESUS CHRIST SHED HIS BLOOD BEFORE WE COULD GAIN SALVATION WHICH IS FREE SO TOO SHALL CHANGE COME TO THIS COUNTRY.SOME PEOPLE MUST DEFINITELY SACRIFICE FOR THAT TO HAPPEN.THOSE WHO WANT CHANGE ON A PLATER OF GOLD SHALL NEVER SEE IT.WITHOUT CHRIST DIEING FOR US,WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN FREE.IT IS A NATURAL PHENOMENON.CAMEROON MUST CHANGE.I AM WAITING JUST FOR THE RIGHT TIME.WE MUST SACRIFICE

What kind of sacrifice for change do you mean HORACE?

Can you please give some insight of how you think this country can be changed and how much you think we can sacrifice to bring change.

Don’t get me wrong here ok, AM NOT BEING PERSIMISTIC
or am i saying its impossible but want to know the kind of sacrifice that you think we can render to have a better Cameroon tomorrow.

You better know the type of sacrifice we are talking here

I don’t know? if i knew i would have not asked.

Lets be straight to the point HERE, call a SPAD a SPAD, or are we being scared?

WHAT CAN WE DO IN ORDER TO BRING ABOUT CHANGE AND HAVE A BETTER CAMEROON TOMORROW?

Kang Quintus, no body is afraid here ok.As a cameroonian and one who have stayed in cameroon for over 20 years and a former student leader for that matter.What do u think can bring meaningful change in Cameroon.Speak out

I hear in an East African country, the women wanted change. So all the women decided to abstain from their consortium obligations. All the prostitutes out in the streets were paid off by the women to remain at home and not work.
For only two days that the men starved, the minister called for a reform.

Hello,that is great.So what do u think in cameroon we can do that can bring forth reforms

what kind of change are we talking about here? is it Administrative Reforms,Infrastructural Reforms, Political Reforms, Economic Reform or What, Because all this cannot be debated upon at the same time.

And Bara Mark, you have not said anything yet, you have just been talking of CHANGE but have not set the ball rolling. BARA MARK HOW CAN CHANGE BE BROUGHT ABOUT IN CAMEROON AND WHAT KIND OF REFORM ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?

BARA MARK i want you to speak out, you brought the debate and have to set the pase.

The country needs all those reforms you just mention ok,the country needs an overhaul especially consitutional,economic and instructional reforms.The whole country needs reforms but we will start some where

Dear All
Some of the best results at GCE come from mission schools and none of their teachers are from ENS but graduates. Village schools are empty what stops the government from recruiting University graduates as it use to do. Pedagogy can be taught in two months to the recruits! Our hospitals lack staff but private nursing schools are truing out people who leave the country and within a few months they start work in their new countries. Our problem is the system in place which is epileptic as information is hidden and always a government secret. More to that an average Cameroonian is afraid………and not ready to take a risk.  It will be much easier to teach somebody with a degree to carry out a task with a degree than a person who has never been to, I think. Everyone who successfully goes through a university is very needed for the development. Lastly, if simple subjects are not good why the government should do keep supporting the departments if the have no future for the country. Or are we saying the government does not project…

UB

Hey Everyone! Just wanted to drop in to say hi and also to introduce myself here! The Boards look extremely interesting and i cant wait to become a member of the community!

I wish to congratulate the catholic education family in the Buea diocese for taking this giagantic project. It will go a long way to reduce the presure in the lone anglo-sacxion university in Cameroon. The family should also take into consideration the tuition fee if its impact has to be felt.

i doubt the quality of the will-be lecturers, shall there be french or english speaking? Professionals or non-professionals? i do not just see them around, except those......  I NEED TO BE CONVINCED OF THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION ONE SHALL GET.

The Catholic University in Yaounde is doing fine because all lecturers are Professors and big experience specialist in their various domains.

THANKS

If only we can pay fees in a private university when we are not able to pay 50000FCFA in a public university. Forget about the location and leave politics aside.
Also leave out your ignorance and stop comparing Buea and Bamenda in any aspects. those who have brains know the difference.
What population of UB come from B’da or from Buea? Then u have answered the question of comparison. 

I’m not in support with creating another university any where in this country when the few we already have produceses more than enough persons for the limited jop vacancies that are present in the country. This simple means increasing the number of unemploided graduates in the country and as a result increasing the crime wave in it. If it where based on me, i’ll rather prefer more jop markets are created for the unemploid and disguise emploiyees and thinking of beter ways to improve on our university standards and this i know will help boost our citizens for compitition into foriegn jop market some thing i don’t think can ever exsist with such a level of professionnal training.  Its funny why we keep on agur’n amongs are self when we all know so well the nature of this our fellow country and how sceptical it is when it comes to dicision making. This has nothing to with tribalism so lets ples stop the agur’n and look forward to see how together we can all brighten the future of this our lovely God given country. 

It is absurd for someone to categorically challenge the idea of more professional tertiary institutions in the country. This to me is exactly the kind of revolution that can help us come out of the high unemployment rate that we suffer.Society has several challenges, hence any educational system worth the name should be able to target at least one of these areas. Hence reason why we need at this time more than ever before proffesional and realistic programmes in our tertiary institutions.The cost for such a good and realistic programme should not be our principal concern. If we look at what is paid by Cameroonians in foreign universities in Europe, USA etc you will join the school of taught that quality and purposeful education cannot be cheap. 

Good work His Lordship Immanuel Bushu.May God continually sustain you with his unlimited Graces.

The programmes of the new university are just what we have been missing out in English Cameroon for so many years.Most English-speaking Cameroonians go abroad to do programmes in engineering and business studies while Francophones are getting it all right here.What we should worry about is the quality of the programmes and not where the university is located. It is hopeful that the process of creating the university that started sometime in 2008 must have addressed the issue of infrastructure and personnel.Welcome UIDB!!

waooh great debate, I think everybody speaking above is right and we all speak out of frustration, you know what comes out when you are frustrated lol.
I have done some extra work the past one year and I have come up with http://WWW.CAMERBORN.COM a platform where Cameroonian Human Resource ccan be indexed. for instance http://WWW.CAMERBORN.COM/MAMBENANJE is my personal page as a Cameroonian. imagine if all the professionals and graduates from Cameroon all have a profile on this site with their profession and their location and then companies can connect with them world wide or jobs can be presented to them (something i am still figuring out). I think this way the government might get to see some real data as to people that are unemployed in various locations and then try to seek ways in giving them jobs or maybe see those who are growing their own businesses like myself from my profile and then see how to invest so they can employ more people…
MY MESSAGE HERE IS, IT WILL BE BETTER IF EACH AND AND EVERYONE OF US STOPS BASHING THE GOVERNMENT AND STARTS DOING SMALL THINGS TO EITHER PUSH THE GOVERNMENT OR HELP IT DO ITS JOB
