What do the good Chinese want.

I would rather reflect on what impact, if any, a stadium in Victoria will have on the selection of young Anglophones into the national team. Of late the relative paucity of English-speaking kids in the Indomitable Lions has been very conveniently explained away, not by the lack of a stadium but by a lack of interest on the part of Anglophone kids. Some have claimed, without a blink of the eyes, that Anglophone Cameroon has stopped producing football talent or that the good lord stopped making them.
I am not sure which version is more credible but when challenged, I was quickly silenced by a very Cameroonian logic: Show me one talented Anglophone who has not been conscripted into the national team. Sounds very much like "montrez-moi les preuves" doesn't it?
While the progressive world takes giant steps ahead by use of positive proofs, in good old Cameroon, it is a negative proof that is being asked for. Any wonder our wondrous show at the recent London Olympics!

My fear is, will the construction be over without the usual misappropriation of funds? As for benefit to the local population, i do not know because every thing is Chinese.

Good, but 20 000 for a town like Victoria, close to Douala is too small...
