OPEN THE FUTURE: BY LENJO VALERY L.

Before I kind of hack into the Future, it’ll be nice we look back into 2021 and previous years. Two things I can remember vividly about 2021, were the new ways of doing things such as Virtual meetings, online classes, web series, Digital marketing, etc and the Preventive measures against the virus Covid 19 i.e. Wearing of mask, Physical/Social Distancing, Sanitizing of hands, etc. Some of the complaint and pains endured in 2020 were somehow corrected or ignored in 2021 for the purpose of progress. Some People learned to survive hard times and to synergize with others to fight certain ills like theft, Corruption, poverty, hunger, etc while others remained in the quagmire, complaining and did nothing to enable change. Like Albert Einstein said “Insanity is when you want to solve a problem while you are still at the same state you were before the problem was created.” Change is eminent. First is change of mindset, Change of self, Change of practice and consequently Change of system. Africans need to stop being Reactive but become Proactive. Now that things are as bad as they are, let us turn a new page and look into the future. Predict possible problems the next generation might face and start proposing solutions now. Let’s be brutally honest with each other and tolerate questions from the younger generation about Politics, Economy, Pharmaceuticals, Entrepreneurship and Religion. For the simple reason that, they understand the now and future better than the older generation. Talking about Religion, Africa needs to rediscover itself by studying the lifestyle of its Ancestors and their relationship with God. I think our current understanding of God or the Creator is Vague and futile. They various unnecessary social conflicts are very damaging to our tradition. The greatest problems we have in Africa are that we don’t like where we come from, we don’t keep records of our transactions or happenings and we don’t plan for the future. If we want the next generation of Africans to strive, we must start writing down our stories, thoughts and achievements. Which will serve as archives for our tomorrow’s people? Talking too much has never helped or taken anybody anywhere. Let’s be humble, read, do(highly recommended) and write. Our future wealth will depend on how play the games of mindset, manage information and how we communicate the information to the world. Technology would be a defining factor and everything will depend on how we use it. It is not how hard you work that matter, its how smart, persistent, consistent and open minded you are. Things henceforth will happen and change hands so fast. We must adapt and make changes as quickly as possible. In this Era, remember nobody owns anything, you must work for it and get it. The world is for the Go-Getters. Happy new year 2022 UBUNTU

A Stereotype About Cameroon: Africa-In-Miniature

  My country Cameroon, as well put on https://www.everyculture.com/Bo-Co/Cameroon.html, has diverse cultural, religious, and political traditions as well as ethnic variety. English and French are her official languages, a heritage of her colonial past as both a colony of the United Kingdom and France from 1916 to 1960. This means two of the most popular languages in the world are used in Cameroon. The above factors and many more, together with her location usually described as “The Armpit of Africa”, sparked a popular stereotype mainly by tourist literature, her being considered “Africa in miniature”. Asserting that she offers all the diversity of Africa, in climate, culture, and geography, within its borders. Some might question this, but based on my experiences and research, I think it might be safe to agree so. Well, let us find out.   In the context of language, not only do her inhabitants speak both English and French, regarded as some of the most popular languages in...

THE POWER OF YOUTHFULNESS

I am writing this article at the age of 27yrs old and in my youthful age.  I remember when I was traversing to this stage of my life (from adolescence to adult), I will dream of fancy things like, -          To one day fry a tray full of eggs and slice it into pieces like a cake. -          To play football and be a superstar like Samuel Eto’o of Cameroon. -          To become a well-known Genetic engineer and add value to humanity. -          To party every day and make merry with friends. -          Etc. Funny enough, as I am writing to you now, -          I am undergoing a transformation to become a vegetarian, -          I don’t have the patience to sit for 90 minutes and watch football t...

CONSEQUENCES OF LACK OF MECHANIZATION ON AFRICA’S ECONOMY.

LENJO VALERY L, Digital Entrepreneur Mechanization is the use of machines to augment or scale up productivity in the society. 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. It could be tractors for agricultural practices, Pulley systems for construction, Generators for transforming energies, Automated teller machines for banks, Computing devices for office use, etc Nowadays Machines have been made portable, affordable and available to an extent that they even constitute 25% of the earths pollution today. Thus the need for Green Computing system so as to revamp the purity of the environment. Even though machines have been Automated and user friendly, 65% of the African population(Cameroonians to be specific) still don’t know how to fabricate and how to o...
