HAPPY MENSTRUAL HYGIENE DAY!

By Pechuqui Laurata.

This year observance which is themed "it is time for action", recognizes the fact that menstrual periods do not stop for the pandemic. Instead of looking at it as a taboo, curse or shame, let's raise awareness and change negative norms around menstruation, create a world in which everyone is empowered and manage their {girls} periods safely with proper hygiene and confidence.

Women and girls are receiving a double blow from the pandemic. They lack water in their communities to wash and now they have to wash their hands frequently. Access to menstrual pads remains limited. Some Young girls can't even afford pads and they turn to use socks and other materials. Some are forced to hawk on the street to take care of their monthly needs which exposes them to gender based violence and the coronavirus itself. Periods will keep running whether the pandemic continues or not. If you are girl who is finding it difficult to use pads every month, use the reusable. Water has always been and issue but one day it will not. As a community, let's try to help each other. If You have something to help someone Please do or donate it to an organization. Nothing is too small. To all the young women, your period is your pride . Don't allow anyone make you feel it's a shame. No it's a " Privilege"

FRENCH PRESIDENT, EMMANUEL MACRON, DISAVOWS DECENTRALIZATION AS SOLUTION TO ANGLOPHONE CONFLICT; OPTS FOR REGIONALISM.

  Image an elephant walked into the room. It's definitely something you would notice. It's also something people would describe in many different ways. Some might see it as a monster or a threat, while others (like The Colbert Factor) might think it's the greatest thing ever. It would ultimately mean something different to everyone, and that would influence the way each person understood it. The visit of the French President was the elephant walking into the Cameroon room.   Emmanuel Macron and Paul Biya in Yaoundé. July 25-27 2022 Last week's visit by recently re-elected French President, Emmanuel Macron, was too substantial to ignore. To most ordinary Cameroonians, his remarks after the close to two hours high-level talks with long-serving President Paul Biya, were great.

WUM COUNCIL: SDO VISITS HOLIDAY WORKERS.

For the past two months, the Wum Municipality has been a bee hive as many youths on holidays have been engaged by the Wum Council, to dig, clean and decorate the municipality with ornamental trees and flowers, this to the satisfaction of the population who always come out in their numbers to encourage these children.  The recruitment of these children, though a corporate social responsibility of the Wum Council, has been made possible thanks to the workaholic Mayor and his team. In one of such busy day of work, the Senior Divisional Officer of Menchum Division, Mr. Abdoullahi Aliou, paid a surprised visit to the children and encouraged them in their endeavour. You have been the lucky few to have been chosen to work and earn some money to help your parents send you back to school. Make sure that dream comes true. Do not in anyway disappoint the Council and the entire population who trusted you to have this job. Be good citizens and true patriots. Thank you for assisting the council ...
