PLAY SAFE BY PRACTICING GREEN COMPUTING

Computing is the act of using a computer to solve problems. The bond between humans and the Computers have become so strong to the extent that there is need for Human Computers or thinking Computers also called Artificial intelligence(AI).

The use of machines on earth date far back as 1000BC with what physicians term “The Simple Machines” which was use used for Calculation, processing of grains to flour, agriculture, making solutions for drinks, etc. Machines vary depending on purpose and problems to be solved.

LENJO Valery IS VERY ANGRY. WE ARE OUR OWN PROBLEM.

  The more I get to look into issues of this our country erhh, the more my heart hurts.  I’ve decided not to look again. Last week after my trip from Yaoundé, we arrived very late at midnight.  Lucky enough i found a bito take me back home from Akwa to Bonaberi.  I pleaded with him to take me for 1000frs but he refused and claimed I should pay 1500frs. While I was still thinking of what to do, a white man who also traveled with us stopped the same bike and proposed 300frs for rond point Deido which is just 250frs to my stop in Bonaberi.  I was surprised this young man accepted him to climb without thinking. He shamefully called me back, took my 1000frs and asked  me to climb behind the white man. Since It was late and i didn’t have a choice, i climbed though fuming with anger.  While on the bike, thé strange White man told me proudly “I’m lucky to climb on the same bike with him”. God oo!!! It was thanks to maturity I didn’t kill somebody that day. I looked at the person talking and I

The Need to Experience Growth in the Transport Industry

  MM “The Growth of our transport and logistics companies lies in the ability to implement historically proven approaches alongside modern strategies . ” Unl ike  many  of  our  youths in Cameroon  who  suffer from un employment after graduati ng from universities , I moved to Dubai for greener pastures. I was opportune to get a job  within forty- three  days of search  as a saleslady though I studied transport and logistics.  It was not easy to get a job in the logistics sector due to the number of experiences required which I did not have.  In my mind it was not a bad idea  to accept the sales job  because I believed without gaining leads for  a  company, the supply chain will not be complete. It was another form of  career experience  for me. I needed to learn how to meet customers and convince them to buy my company’s product s . While waiting for the company to finish up with the opening of a new show room where I had to work, my employer  assigned  a task in which I had to make r

BOILED GROUNDNUT BUSINESS CAN BECOME A WHITE COLLAR JOB

Many youths in Cameroon engage in business during holidays so as to raise their school fees for the next academic year. Selling of boiled groundnut is often the option they turn to because it is easy and profitable. But Elas when this youths finish school, The abandon the trade and start chasing and hunting for the so called “white collar jobs”. Most often, they make lots of gains. This has made parents (mothers especially) to engage in the practice so as to meet ends needs. The business has remained stunted for generations whereas it is lucrative and has enabled many rich people of our today’s society to fund their education. *5 ways To make the business of boiled groundnut a white collar job* 1. We must not measure boiled groundnut in cup or empty tomato tins. We can also use machine like those that are use to sell ice cream. 2. We must not carry them around in trays. We can package it and sell in shops/supermarkets too. 3. During sales, We must not wear short trousers, skirts or fun

UNDERSTANDING THE AGRO OPPORTUNITY by ROLAND FOMUNDAM

UNDERSTANDING THE AGRO OPPORTUNITY The problem of food insecurity has been a topic of utmost concern to development experts. It is known that when a country achieves food security: they become stable; they become economically viable; they progress and most importantly, can leap from a developing to a developed nation – when this happens, its people also advance in life. It may be true to say that the key factor in the advancement of Western countries has been  their food security.   If this is true then the question is: why are development experts, multinationals, philanthropist, donors, angels and development organizations still not able to establish, initiate, support, promote/ fund viable ideas that will alleviate poverty using food security measures?  With over one hundred thousand NGOs working in and for Africa, no forward movement seems to occur. One may be tempted to say these organizations are more of a curse than a blessing.  They have only raised the smoke from the burning fl

8 REASONS THAT PROVE AFRICANS BEHAVE LIKE FREED PEOPLE INSTEAD OF FREE PEOPLE

LENJO VALERY SPEAKS: 8 Reasons to Prove that Africans behave like freed people instead of free people.  ✔️ We behave as if we owe our lives to someone. For generations we haven’t accepted the fact that life is a gift and anything we do is for ourselves and no one else.  ✔️ We are always calling ourselves freedom fighters or liberation fighters or something similar to that as if someone was holding our freedom. Honest Politics is more than us, creativity is more than us, even unity is more than us. We enjoy putting leaders down only to repeat the same mistakes as the former. ✔️ Critical and Strategic thinking is more than us. Reason why we rush to fight the moment something is said that is controversial to our understanding. Let’s use our head and not our hearts  ✔️ We love pointing fingers at others for the things that happen to us. If it’s not the government, it is the Whitman or the devil. ✔️ We are always feeling threatened and cling to funny believes for redemption. In one family,

WHY ARE WE SO ADAMANT TO CHANGE IN CAMEROON?

Something interesting happened last Friday while I was introducing a lesson on web development to some students of Upper sixth in a school somewhere in Douala Cameroon. I arrived in that school and noticed the lab was of standard type and well equipped with over 35 working computers, internet connection and had only 28 students enrolled for the computer science lesson. This was shocking to me because it was the first time I saw a school with a standard computer lab in Cameroon but less students. While I was writing the html codes on the Board for them to run on their computers since there’s no projector for me to test it myself, behold only 3 students were testing the code immediately while the rest were busy copying it in their hand books hoping to try it at home or some other day or worst still cram it against the upcoming exams. I even insisted they run the program at the moment for a better understanding, yet these students where bent on going the manual way(hand copying). At the e
