By Bakah Derick  North West Delegates to the 2021 elective general assembly of the Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT) are said to be under serious threats.  Hilltopvoices has gathered that messages and pictures are currently circulating on social media messaging applications suggesting that North West delegates moved away from positions they were expected to stay unto.  While others are accusing the delegates for voting Samuel Eto'o the winner of the elections, others say they voted Seidou Mbombo Njoya.  Some of the messages Hilltopvoices has claim that the delegates from the North West received money to the tune of 1MFCFA from the the candidate they turned their backs to with a firm request for a refund.  On the eve of elections, Hilltopvoices must establish that the delagates could not be reached on phone. No justification of their unavailability has been made public but it is either their phones were jammed or collected. We cannot confirm who did.  We are gather

By Bakah Derick  Long time supporter of Samuel Eto'o Fils, UEFA B licenced coach, Jurist, promoter and player agent has expressed satisfaction with the outcome of the Saturday 11 December 2021 elective general assembly of the Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT) in Yaounde.  A fulfilled Chi Ivo  Talking to Hilltopvoices on Tuesday 14 December 2021, a visibly fulfilled Chi Ivo described the election of Samuel Eto'o Fils at the helm of FECAFOOT as an uncommon milestone for the betterment of Cameroon Football.  "Like every Cameroonian you saw on the streets, I feel happy, i feel satisfied, I fill fulfilled. It is a genuine feeling of fulfillment within me because my heart desire for Cameroon football was granted last Saturday. I am happy I contributed adequately for this achievement." Chi said  Chi Ivo in transfer of Cameroonian international to Angers On Monday 13 December 2021, Samuel Eto'o Fils was at the football association (FA) he

I think change is good in any situation. Here we have change and hope that there will be a different approach as to how things are done.  As a lover of the game from the NW région, I fear Nothing  drastic will change for us. The under development of sporting infrastructures in the region is more of institutional bias against the region than an issue of individuals.  Whether it's Eto'o or Seidou, or somebody else, these issues may still continue.  I can't imagine that with 24 modern Stadia constructed in the country not a single one is constructed in the Northwest with four elite teams.  I am hoping for the best but I still have a lot of reservation on the treatment of the NW region

Samuel Eto'o's win as President of FECAFOOT to me represents a bright future for football stakeholders in the North West Region, For players and football lovers. When you look at his rich plan of action if implemented, the young boys who have been playing football with nothing to write home as finances are concerned will be able to make their families smiles. The investors will laugh whereas fans will be happy to go to the field. I believe Samuel Eto'o will market our local games by doing so, good infrastructures will be provided for us in the North West Region that has nothing to write home about that sector. To conclude, he knows everything about the difficulties these football stakeholders go through, and I am optimistic that within a year in office, his actions will start speaking

I think the victory of Samuel brings a completely new dimension to the way things will unfold not only in the region but the entire country. His victory brings a new impetus to our football. I am one of those who said from the beginning of this process that Samuel has a very juicy project for Cameroon's football and I believe with all the support he has at the beginning he is going to do something very significant for our football. With the right persons around him and if he implements his projects, we will enjoy football in this country. Therefore, we expect to see a new dynamism in the management of our football. In the North West region, our case is special because of the context we find ourselves with. From what I know, I am confident the North West will be one of the first to benefit from the stadiums promised by Eto'o. During a cocktail with some football stakeholders organized by the Regional President to celebrate the victory of Eto'o, the Re

Eto'o's win for me represents hope in various aspects: Firstly at last a renouned footballer to manage football business at the helm. Therefore we count on his personality to engage into national and international partnership for the development of the discipline including sport infrastructure especially in the NW region that has been silent for so long. Secondly, We have a football manager who is not coming to make money. He already has enough and just need more honor added to what he acquired in the various stadia across the world. Therefore the numerous fallout from the federation will serve the football and not individuals. Thirdly,  Footballers finally have the opportunity to be recognized in their own country. The mobilization of almost all the former stars around the new president is clear indicator.

I maybe too quick with my assumption but Eto'os win already represents a befitting stadium for me, taking into consideration the Northwest has five teams at the level of the Professional league without a playing field. It also gives me hope looking at his campaign manifesto about a change in the management of football and careers of the main actors being footballers both at the local, national and international level. Having a woman as 1st Vice President gives me hope that women's football will take a new twist because Celine Eko knows better than anyone that our female championships deserve same attention given to the male championship in all aspects

Beginning of a new Dawn where discrimination, incompetency, corruption, vindictiveness,  and hypocrisy will be thrown out of the door. A new Dawn where equality, meritocracy and togetherness as one will be our watch word. Above all the name Eto'o as has been the case in the past during all his life symbolizes success at all levels within the football domain in Cameroon. Eto'o and Joe Dinga... Promoter of Bamenda FC Cameroon football will rise to the top of the world stage where it belongs and with it will come genuine progress and success of football within NW, LT, SW, CE, East and all other regions of Cameroon. Eto'o is a champion and a blessed child of God who turns anything that touches his hands into Gold . We have entrusted Cameroon football into the hands of a champion who will revolutionize football in a way that have never been seen in Africa  NW have it's own peculiar needs, Eto'o is aware and for a fact will

By Bakah Derick  The football community and more across Cameroon have been celebrating the election of Samuel Eto'o Fils as the new President of Cameroon's football governing body.  Pictures have been circulating on social media from across the country as the Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT) got the new leader on Saturday 11 December 2021 during the institution's general assembly in Yaounde.  Pictures have emerged from funeral receptions that turned to bigger parties following the announcement of Samuel's victory.   The North West football community is part of celebrations In drinking spots, joints and homes. Their reactions center around the same issues.  "I think the victory of Samuel brings a completely new dimension to the way things will unfold not only in the region but the entire country. His victory brings a new impetus to our football. I am one of those who said from the beginning of this process that Samuel has a very juicy project for

By Bakah Derick Delegates from the North West Regional league of the Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT) have made another electoral mistake. They had opening declared their their support for incumbent Seidou Mbombo Njoya in a declaration signed by the league President.  North West delegates ahead of voting Following elections this Saturday 11 December 2021, Samuel Eto'o Fils got a convincing win of 43 to 31 votes against Seidou Mbombo Njoya.  Hilltopvoices has it on good authority that in December 2018, the North West delegation after a late night meeting settled for Joseph Antoine Bell. He will later be beaten by Seidou Mbombo Njoya one of the many reasons the region has been left in the dark in the last three years.  A crowd in one of halls during counting as tension mounted  We shall not waste your precious time with how much the North West delegation has gone too and fro on which candidate to back but the final decision announced in Garoua has gone

By Bakah Derick The six delegates representing the regional league of the Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT) at the institution's general assembly this Saturday 11 December 2021.  North West Delegate concerting Within the early hours of the day, they were hardly seen together. Prior to the resumption of deliberations, they meet this time six as they have been commissioned by the regional general assembly of Monday 1 November 2021.  They greeted us with a smile as they returned making it difficult to conclude on the state of their minds.  We are however humbled by the fact that Yoye Blaise one of the delegates is representing the region with pride. His Toghu is conspicuous enough to be seen by all.  Debates are intense. 

By Bakah Derick  It is a tension packed Mont Febe Hotel we arrived to this morning Saturday 11 December 2021. First the filtering and controlling of entrance into the hotel is a major attraction. Mixed Police,  Gerndarmes and special service officers are on duty. They all have lists of those accredited.  As I drove in, i am stopped twice. First control is soft. Introducing myself as a reporter was good to let me go. The second will not be the same. Three officers pulled out a list of accredited personalities and question which one is my name. I indicate and justify and then given the green light to go in. The hotel will then do it's traditional scan on my car before letting me in.  People are standing in clusters and camps. They are not necessarily delegates. Journalists, security and observers are here.  Booooom... it is Frank Happi and Abunde Pascal. The tune is high and jesticulations not comforting. I have the feeling someone was preventing the other from talking wi

By Bakah Derick  A famous politician in the North West Region has expressed the wish to see Samuel Eto'o Fils take leadership of the Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT). In a  three page document titled ETO FILS IS THE BEST CANDIDATE FOR THE FECAFOOT PRESIDENCY AS OF NOW, Dr. Nick Ngwanyam, MD is categorical about his position.  "That is why we have had so many scandals, several commissions to administer the crippling house driven by bad governance, corruption, no accountability and a sweet tooth for a soft life with nothing to show. This has been a good example of our collective failure in many other sectors of our nation. We have weevils that eat the corn from the inside."  He states  Here is the complete document 

By Bakah Derrick  On Monday 1 November 2021, they received the mandate of the North West football family to represent the interest of the region as delegates to the elective general assembly (EGA) of the Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT).  Scheduled for Saturday 11 December 2021 in Yaounde, these six delegates do not only have the responsibility to elect a president for the Football Association (FA) but more so to elect a president who is willing and sufficiently capacitated to change the story of North West football and footballers.  With amazing talents and dedicated club owners, the North West has practically been left to struggle for her own in terms of professionalising her football environment even from far back when the region held the position of vice President at the FA. With the understanding that the new regional league leaders have a clear plan, the leader to be selected must be one who is intentional and ready to professionalise football in the country an

By Bakah Derick Two candidates running for presidential offices have been announced absent from the elections hall in Bamenda as the regional office of the Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT) NW goes to the poles.  They kept to their decision  At the opening ceremony in Bamenda this Monday 1 November 2021, the seat reserved for Chi Ivo running for the office of President was empty. He had however withdrawn from the process following a letter addressed to the National Electoral commission of FECAFOOT. Chi's absence thus confirms Mbigha the incumbent as President.  The other empty seat was that of the president of Rangers FC Suh Neba George. He had declared interest for the president and later submitted for Vice. His absence thus gives Jephter Pase a clear win.  Elections are ongoing...

By Bakah Derick  A decision published at nightfall on Wednesday 20 October 2021 has disqualified several names from the list of contestants for various positions at the regional league and federal level of the Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT) from the North West.  Not fewer than four persons are concerned by the list which hilltopvoices got a copy published by the Barrister Achet Nagnigni led seven man commission.  The petition submitted by Tah Robert President of SIMAF was admitted for hearing by the commission.  Concerned are Dinga Joseph, Nchinda Charles, Abang Raphael ans Chi Ivo.  While the commission rules out one for revocation of membership, the others are accused for using "fraudulent letters of endorsement."  Chi Ivo's case remains unclear as his name appears on list of those ruled out and remark but the decision section in the document rather says "rejects the claims against the candidacy of Mr Chi Ivo."
