The AMVCAs(African Magic Viewers Choice Awards) just passed and looks like blinds were trending this year.Its either that or Lilian Esoro needs a new stylist,good lenses and a really big mirror...oh my gosh.Gideon Okeke where do i start?one word...well three but one sentence-"TAILOR YOUR SUITS!!!, jeez. Uti,my word! u looked like a walking christmas tree,all we needed is a star on those dreads of yours and your a star. Sika Osei...did you rehearse the carrying of that eye shadow?
Helen Paul,its the AMVCAs not a bridal shower,pailful especially coming from you.Now that we are done with the onions(teary) lets get to the steak.
Genevieve in curry...awww lord that's yummy,Rita Dominic...classy as always,Ivie Okujaye...brilliant and bright in blue.O.C Okeje,u looked ok but you are lucky you won,a gold accessory does good to a blue tuxedo.Mercy Johnson,have mercy on us,you were worth every staring eye huni.Kate Henshaw,pop of color!!! you were all halves of a yellow sun.
Linda Ejiofor what was up with those curls? and girl we wanna see you dress sexier,we wanna see Bimpe burst out of you.sexy,sassy and nicer than the rest in the room.lol
Now to the Hosts...Vimbai that first dress was a breath of fresh air from all you have done last year and beyond,so beautiful and the other dresses.....well lets just hope there is a secuase for you wearing it like #ebolainafrica or #diabetes or something because i don't think there is a possible explanation for that red dress.On the bright side you were funny and fluent.I am not even going to talk about that pink dress. IK im obsessed with you and you brought it.whats up with the red though?i kinda preferred you breaking up that red with the black and ending the show with the second suave and debonair red,but i get it you are Vimbai were supposed to look together.
Next year is supposed to be better.You hear that Kuacbelle Geumini ? you are repping cameroon please be stylish.Im not even gonna boo the Mavins, "Dorobucci" didnt deserve all what you did to it.Thumbs up to 2 Face and P Square.
AMVCAs may principally be a celebration of film but overall its a reminder that Africa rocks.It realy does-you should see my shoes.lol

Women's day...
I went to the market (hours to the womens day) the hustle and bustle was there but this time just with a pinch of happiness,of merry...a big thing is coming.The women have thier hair traditionally tied up but they are all done.,like red carpet ready...sort of.
8 March is internationally celebrated as women's day,In Cameroon the anticipation starts getting built from February starting with the fabric or the material.Ladies always do the proper propaganda by making their opinions known.(usually lots of hate, comments and stories about the origin of the fabric.)
Tailors and seeamstresses emplore thier sense of creativity and design to sew "kabas" (big free gowns) with hints of trending fabric and style be it denim,lacecut outs or even just big buttons.It is eminently a big deal and big day in their lives.Social groups and proffessional institutions come out march and share drinks till its time to be mummy and wife again.
8 March is more of the day to kick off the mother and wife boots and put your feet up.Its about being a girl again,drinks with friends,pay with your own money,tell yourselves you don't need men.Its a silent "see how far we've come".So you see women dancing and going down low with so much joy,dancing to the latest hits,and there is that look in thier eyes that says "let me do this" but if you look deeper you might just see who mummy was before a bed mate and diaper duty.Before she became a better half she was a full thing-a girl,that laughed loudly without being mannerly,waved her hands,listened and danced to music and took a sip of her favourite liquid and closes her eyes. Before she knows it she may be mum and wife again so even if she gets to feel all that just one day a year,she will take it.she will take it any day.
Happy Women's Day.Men be nice,guys be sweet,women be free, I Love You M.

Hustling...
Job Hunting...crazy right? When you leave school and all these bright ideas about a bright future pop into your head,you also tell yourself that you are going to carve out a good life for yourself and you will be" fine" and you wont get into a mess. SO you get out and you want to try all these different things you learned and liked back in school,voluntary service is getting messy and you feel like all else has failed...then you get a call
In an English speaking zone,and the interview is in french,in a pretty much french free zone...oh yes you clearly didn't know what 'all else' meant right?
Job hunting is not conventional in Cameroon especially if you are not bilingual because the languages create a natural divide that cannot be ignored.So towns that have become hubs for jobs over time or "hustling towns" are naturally a "place to be" or a "no go area". A person wonders what is becoming if French is seeping into places that are considered havens of English,is it development through bilingualism or another side taking over?
