Dear Post Team,
I just spent a few minutes this Sunday morning browsing your website. I cannot but express my admiration for the apparent good job you are doing to keep the journalism flame burning in the "Good Old Country". The diverse subjects covered, the several voices (or is it inks?)that animate (or is it that keep the pages dark?) reaasure me that despite the pressures and difficulties of the profession there are still committed footsoldiers around. There is nothing more meaningful to me as an individual to see this happening. I laud your efforts and wish you well. Please be assured of my continued interest in the work you do everyday to keep the Cameroonian public informed, educated, entertained, and distracted from some of life's chores. Be of good cheer and please, please do keep the flame burning!
Best regards.

Dear Post:

You provide an invaluable service to those of us abroad who have no direct access to local news from Cameroon.

I am very impressed by the objectivity of your reporting and your commitment to reporting on issues affecting the local communities in the towns and villages other than politics.

Thank you.

I am very happy for the information that your paper dishes out. I feel at home though far from it. This gives me hope for that beloved country and above all makes me feel so current about the events back there.
I do appreciate your efforts despite the circumstances under which you operate.
The truth is the only moral defensive weapon.

Accept my profound gratitude from Kumba, after reading through an article Published on September 27th September 2004, Minister Tells NCC Members on the recent appointment of Mr. Charly Ndi Chia as the chairman of the National Communication Council.I wish to extend congratulations on him, and as the Chair man he will be ready to face all the challenges that is going to confront him in the communication world.
I also wish him to use his position to stir up the depreciating communication in the country in both the private and Public media.

Thanks

Kudos to the entire team of 'The Post'. Your website is great and I think the english language is no longer very absent from Cameroon's quota of cyberspace. I stronly suggest however that the cyber edition handles alongside news stories, news analysis and write-ups from seasoned professionals in various fields. This will help readers especially those out of the country to have an indepth knowledge of some major issues affecting Cameroon. Thank you and more grease to your...pens!

Permit me cable my vista of thanks to your intelligent and devoted team of reporters and the good work they are doing to inform both the masses home and the diaspora.I would like to think that it will be very good of you to compliment,this good job by creating an online breaking news page so that those of us out of the triangle could access hot-info from the home front.This will prompt our responses and/or opinions about that particular slut.
This is particular sensitive time to Cameroon generally and to some of us who solely rely on The Post for News from the home front to have an indepth of all recent happenings on politics and society generally.
I will not mention names but will transmit my warm thanks to all of you outthere doing the wonderful job of fair and impartial reporting.Let your pens flow.
Thanks

Good job to the post. You are one of the most objective news sources i've ever seen from cameroon. I hope you keep up the good work and concerntrate on the corrupt nature of the cameroon society. Maybe that could help the problem. I was particularly shocked by the picture of the young man tortured by the police. Something has to be done.

GREAT!! am so pleased to be able to read my favourite newspaper, now online!. I am completely gobsmacked as my most-liked features,5 Franc Question, Collector's Dairy,Letter from Buea and most of all,the Sports and Entertainment articles are still regular.Infact,you guys are WONDERFUL!! and applaud you all for the your relentless efforts for bringing to me the much-missed and highly needed local news, and the good work in keeping the puplic informed etc etc. Sky is the limit for you all and I am glad to hear that some promomtions had occured like Mr Charlie Ndi Chia for his beliefs to his present post and Clovis in the Capital's heart! it's amazing.
Innocent as always, providing the scores.It's ashame that our elite soccer teams are still letting us down in the beautiful game. Just like the two in Senegal on sabotage mission, the Malange's and Mululu's are trying to strangle each other,it's time to rewrite the history books so Anglophone Cameroonians can see clearly and understand were they belong to, and how it could be if they stop whistle-blowing(the two in Senegal), robber-necking and back-stapping as the Malange's and Mululu's are doing or did.The results are always regretable. Well,I would like to salut you all once again, GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
Lots Love

Dear PostTeam,
I was very delighted when i got your website address from cameroononline.org search. Infact i feel at home at this moment that you guys are on net. Exteng my congratulations to the 'the rolling stone' for his appointment. I mean Charly Ndi Chia.

Permit me carry on a few observations;

The news items on the pages are not being update for i went through the pages because i had been starve from cameroon news for a long time.

Burning issues as human rights, democracy and good governance do no longer appear on your pages as THE POST i used to read some years back before escaping from that inhuman regime.

There are no spaces for adverts and announcements and if someday you create them, provide facilities that could allow subscribers pay with credit cards.

While wishing you God's abundant blessings, accepts my regards and some Cameroonian friends here in Dublin to whom i have just introduce the web address today.
KEEP THE FLAG FLYING

Yours sincerely

Dear post,
i'll say with absolute sincerity that keepin' us informed with the latest news back home is such a wonderful gesture. it's rather a pity that things had to turn out that way in the university of buea. i just remember the last good days i had in ub before leavin' to pursue studies abroad. i hope things get better with time for those whom we left behind studyin' there. may the souls of those students who died in the strike rest in perfect peace.

[jarvis Michael Ntungwe]

As a former student of UB,I know and understand the conditions over there and believe it is worth a call for concern.
I'll like to thank the post for providing the neccesary information for those of us out of the country.I hope the international community takes action.
To the students of UB, you have taken a step towards better conditions in UB thus you should not give up the fight, so that the death of the two students won't be in vain.
I wish sincerely that you achieve your cause.

[Israel Ambe A.]

Dear Post,
It was just after the assasinations of our brothers carried out by the police in Buea and my incessant quest for information that I got you people online.
As a Library Prefect in my alma mater I used to ensure I had all your editions but after going to Buea,I could not meet up with the expenses but I regularly glanced at the headlines from the news stands.
Now that my occupation gives me access to the net,getting you all the time won't certainly be a problem.
To be very candid, you represent our (anglophones) aspirations and beliefs.
After the media black out by the state media on the killings in Buea, you did paint a real picture of the happenings there.In your short period of existence you have left your critics short of words.
Your reporters like Charly Ndi Chia,Clovis Atatah,Azore Opio and editor-in-chief are really great.
Do keep the faith!

Cameroon is a country blessed with riches of various types.
Cameroon is a nation with lots of intellectuals who are wasting out or are rather productive in foreign countries, while back at home all is gradually turning into a deserted land.
Cameroon needs its youths to develop the country and to play a clean political game.
It is time for the old and unprofessional politicians to give a chance to the youths to develop that blessed nation which is a miniature of Africa.
Where are we heading to ?
When University students are being tortured and killed because they are peacefully asking for social services from the Government.
The strong Question is, How can we build a better Cameroon?.
How can we stop capital flight through corrupt government officials?
It is high time for Government Officials to be Audited before, during, and after they take Office.

Dear Post team,
Please keep up with the interesting piece of work and lets together build a powerful nation.

I must congratulate The Post for being an important source of information for the many of us living far away from home. Your courage in handling controversial issues like public corruption and other societal ills is commendable. As a word of advice, a little more distinction between the facts of a story and news analysis will go a long way towards boosting your credibility even further.

To all the editorial members of the post news online, I am well pleased with your efforts in establishing an online medium where information on our dear Cameroon is given and shared.I cannot express my profound gratitude at such initiative and creativity on your part. For us in the diaspora, a click of the button is all it takes to get aboard the Cameroon news ship. I believe I am more abreast with current issues in now Cameroon than I ever was, whilst I lived there.
Keep up the good work and may God bless you in all your efforts.
Oncemore, accept my indepth gratitude.

[Ernest Chi]

This is an illustrous example of how the power to truely serve the people can yield palatable fruits. Never in my life have I ever read an online blog so avidly. Despite being far away from Cameroon i have been able to keep myself informed and update on several events happening in Cameroon through the post online.

I will resquest that, the post provide a section for public opinions. There are several issues i have based on my experiences of living in Cameroon and from several other places i have traveled and probably several others reading this blog that i will like to contribute on to enhance public awareness in Cameroon. Especially about Cameroonians in diaspora, the myth about bushfallers, problems of living abroad and so on. Quite interesting issues that might help guide young cameroonians that have been mislead about life in diaspora. Is this possible? In that case i can be contacted at eyalow@yahoo.com.

[likakene]

my fellow Southern Cameroonians, it is with pleasure that I join this forum after several decades of silence. I have tried to live with the pain of silence, but it has not worked. I am now an angry citizen, and I want change. I am sure we are all together. The old men have to be sacked from office or retired. Biya has overstayed his welcome and he needs to go and let us be. We can do better without this corrupt old man and the band of criminals and accomplices that surround him.
The state is not his personal property as he has made the people to think. The sate is ours and we want it back. Has Mr Biya declared his assets yet? Do you know that Mr Biya is richer than the state of Cameroon? Is he a monarch or a president? Was he so rich because he ran a business before he entered government service? We know that Mobutu was bad, and he accepted that he was bad. What we do not know is that Biya is just as bad as Mobutu. Therefore, what will happen to Cameroon after Biya, would mirror what has happened to Zaire (DRC) after Mobutu. The longer we let him stay, the more rotten the state would get. A word is enough for the wise.

[Terry]

Dear brothers,

I am very grateful for all the latest events as well as the past as they keep us up to date.I could even check on some of the past events i missed from my country.
Let God keep on blessing you people and open your eyes to see what is happening in other countries so,you can get more events and express development.

Hello.....I have been searching and searching for a way to alert people in Cameroon that there is a very serious puppy scam being conducted there. The fine people of Cameroon should not be scandleized by people like this. Her name is Karen DaGreg and she supposedly works with the Lutheran Missionary Centre there in Cameroon.

She advertised yorkie puppies for adoption and I responded to her add and sent her in good faith $530.00 for the pups to be shipped from the Douala Airport to Bluegrass Airport in Kentucky. This has been a scam from the very beginning and now she has my money and is,so she says, sending the dogs to another family in the US because I refused to send her an additional 450.00 for papers that the Charles De Gaulle Airport said they needed. I told her to get the pups to Kentucky and I would split the additional cost of the papers but she refused.

I questioned her from the very beginning and she assured me that $530.00 was all the money she needed to send the puppies to a loving home. This has turned out to be a nightmare with one lie after another about these dogs. She has also handled some pretty nasty language to be a christian missionary there trying to help you good people out.

Just wanted you fine people to be aware that there are snakes in the grass down there and they are giving Cameroon a very bad reputation for scams such as these.

Her address is
Karen DaGreg
Lutheran Missionary Centre
Av Foch Tiko
p.o. Box 2356

Phone 011-237-563-62-66
e-mail address: karen_dagreg@yahoo.com

Please forward this to your local Police Department. She has my money and the dogs if they even existed. It is my opinion .....I sent her the money she requested for the dogs by Western Union in the amount of $530.00 and since she has not held up her end of the deal she owes that money back to me for goods never received.

I sincerely hope the local authorities are made aware of this and will check into this. This is a huge scam and they are using your country as a way of avoiding US convictions for illegal scamming!

[Shirley]

Greeting
I wanted to respond to the scam on the puppies. I to respond to an add for Chihuahuas, I too was told all I had to do was pay for the flight to the US. I was scam 850.00 and the people want more. Please be aware that there are people out there who are not honest and will take money from you thus you never recieve the product are in our case the puppies. I have been told that this person has been arrested and that I have money coming back to me. BUT have not seen the money. Beware people they are out there and will scam you thousands of dollars. If in doubt check it out before sending money.

[Daddyfestus]

A note of Acknowledgemtnt

I want to thank the post newspaper immensely for the wonderful job they are doing online. As a matter of fact, this information website has been ranked #1 by the Cameroonian community in Maryland USA. The website is accredited and acknowledged for its frequent updates and high reliability of information. The independent and unbiased nature of reporting is also highly commended by most consumers here in the USA. Keep on.

[Akoson]

Shirly and Sug,

I've taught extremely HARD before reacting to your complaints.

In a typical government school the fee is a mere 1000 frs. You both spent close to 1400 dollars (approx. 700,000 frs). Hundreds of thousands of kids in Cameroon are not privy to afford a mere 1,000frs. You both had the means to sponsor seven hundred kids in Cameroon for one academic year. Yes seven hundred kids. OR select just TEN kids and give a definition to their lives - sponsoring them to complete primary, secondary and even high school. Yet you prefer DOGS to HUMANS. What a wicked and selfish world!

I'm not dictating on how you ought to spend your money but I'm only asking you to examine your conscience.

I grin in pain.

The Son.
