Four die on Bamenda's Cow Street

By Bakah derickBlogger at hilltopvoices UPDATES We just had the pictures of the four inserted. Four youngsters lost their lives early  Friday 27th February 2015 morning in an accident along Cow street in Bamenda. The youngsters died after the bike carrying them ran under a stationed trailer at about 3:30am. Witnesses say two died on the spot while two others died on their way to the hospital. The cause of the accident has not been established but many have been quick in Bamenda to attribute the accident to high speeding and the recklessness of bike riders. Others have equally been questioning the parking of the trailer on such a narrow area part of the road. Amongst the four as gathered by hilltopvoices  two of them are from Mbelem mile 6 Nkwen. Sources close to hilltopvoices confirm that these two gentlemen where amongst the dead. We also have that a lady was amongst the four.

Did Prof. Elizabeth Tamajong resign or she was dismissed from the SDF SG post?

By Bakah Derick Blogger@hilltopvoices   Professor Elizabeth Tamajong followed the footsteps of her predecessors February 14, 2015 when she tabled her resignation from her function as Secretary General during a National Executive Council meeting. By her letter dated February 12, 2015, which calls for a couple of reforms in the party, one can say she resigned. Though she claims the party is very dear to her and has relentlessly and diligently served in all the positions she held, the out gone scribe calls for separation of power between party structures like NIC (National investiture Committee) NAC (National Advisory Council) NEC (National Executive Council). The Professor also says there is need for party subventions from the state to be used for the development of basic organs and that the function of the Secretary General be elective as was the case before her appointment on July 17, 2006. This sounds like a resignation but a close reading of another document which she mad

Will water bring division in Nkwen?

Community Development Bakah Derick Reporter @ hilltopvoices.blogspot.com   Nkwen is one of the seven villages that make up the Bamenda city Council Area. The village is one of the first in this area to develop a community water scheme. This water scheme has not only served as a catalyst to the development of the Village but also as a means of survival in Bamenda particularly now that the city of Bamenda is currently facing serious water crisis. With the rapid population growth it has been the concern of the Paramount Fon of Nkwen HM Fon Azehfor III to improve on the water supply. As it stands work is currently going on in some parts of the village by villagers who turn out to prepare the catchment area and the pipelines. Pipes have equally been bought for the extension. Like the palace, the Bamenda III Sub divisional Council with Nkwen as headquarters has been concerned about the water supply system. Early in 2014 the Mayor of the Council Fongu Cletus Tanwie received
