Dr. MAL Fobi’s much coveted endorsement has been won by Kah Walla, Presidential candidate at the upcoming October 9th elections in Cameroon. In the shell shocking move particularly rebuking of erstwhile Cameroon opposition front leader, Ni John Fru Ndi - said to be mimicking President Biya’s every move to eternalize himself at the head of the party and the nation – the US and world renown surgeon touts Kah Walla as a "tool for Devine Intervention" by which Cameroon will be spared of the Arab spring bloodbath.
It is not only an endorsement that revitalizes a campaign that many see as doomed to fail on the merits of geopolitics and limited knowledge of the candidate outside her stronghold of Douala and a couple other cosmopolitan areas. The campaign is in dire need of financial support, a boon that the California based Dr. MAL Fobi brought to the SDF in 1992. Even more than inviting the rest of the Cameroon Diaspora, and possibly some Hollywood heavy-hitters, to support financially and otherwise, the endorsement also turns the lights on President Paul Biya’s charade as much as on Kah Walla and the Cameroon People’s Party to deliver.

I read an interesting theory recently linking the decline in teacher quality (and in numbers of nursing students) over the past decades to the increasing acceptance of women in management roles in other professions. As the theory goes - a generation ago, there simply weren't as many career options available to even the highest achieving women, so the overall pool of candidate teachers and nurses was much stronger. Now many brilliant women who might have been excellent teachers or nurses are instead becoming physicians, CEOs, or politicians.
