Cameroon: Rigobert Song (Ex National Team Captain) Inspires new Puma Trick Show Designs.

 
We know what you’re thinking, and yes, that is one pair of shoes, not two pairs of mismatched shoes.
The inspiration for the shoe comes from Rigobert Song, a soccer player from Cameroon, who wore two different Puma cleats in a 1998 World Cup soccer match.

According to Puma, Song said that you had to be bold to pull off the look. And it’s that boldness that Puma is trying to harness in these limited edition golf shoes.

Our Mr. Style says, “If you go with any footwear that says “Hey, check these kicks out!” make sure to bring your A game. These are fun, and look cool.”

They not only have a distinctive look, they have the tech to back it up. The technology of the shoe is the same as the TitanTour Ignite shoe that is in our 2016 Shoe Guide. One of the most notable pieces of technology is the responsive midsole, that’s comfortable while working with your foot as you push off from the ground through impact.

Rickie Fowler will be wearing these shoes on Thursday at the Players Championship, where he will be defending.
If you feel bold enough for a pair, the limited release of 1,000 pairs be available on April 29th. Retail: $230

Prince ‘treated for drug overdose’ days before being found dead in a lift.

 The Raspberry Beret singer was found dead at his Paisley Park Minneapolis mansion on Thursday morning

 

Prince was treated for a drug overdose six days before his death, it’s been claimed.

According to US gossip website TMZ, the music icon underwent the treatment when his private plane made an emergency landing last Friday following his performance in Atlanta.

The show had initially been pushed back a week as it was said the singer had been suffering from the flu.
Multiple sources reportedly told the site that doctors administered a “save shot”, which they say is typically given to counteract the effects of an opiate.
They claim doctors advised the Raspberry Beret singer to stay in hospital but they couldn’t offer him a private room so he and his team left after just three hours.

Authorities are now believed to be trying to get the hospital records to help determine the cause of death.
Mirror Celebs has contacted reps for Prince for comment.

Following his hospital stay it was claimed he returned home to recover from the flu.
The star was reportedly pictured at around 7pm on Wednesday night visiting a Walgreens pharmacy near to his home.

 Prince's body was found slumped in an elevator in his million pound Paisley Park estate on Thursday morning.
His death is currently being investigated and an autopsy is due to take place on Friday.

Cameroon: Chinese firm to invest CFA1200 trillion in electricity, housing

 

The Chinese company Poly Technologies is committed to investing CFA 1200 trillion in Cameroon’s electricity sectors and social housing.

This was disclosed after a meeting between the Secretary General of the Presidency, Ferdinand Ngoh Ngoh and officials of the Chinese firm.

Details of the transaction were not specified but the businessmen assured Cameroon that their British partner, New Edge, will provide the same amount.

In late March, China Xhanxi Construction Engineering had signed a CFA 60 billion agreement with Cameroon for the construction of the Cité des cinquantenaires in Douala.

Singer Prince dies at 57

 

CNN)The artist known as Prince, who pioneered "the Minneapolis sound" and took on the music industry in his fight for creative freedom, died Thursday at age 57.

"It is with profound sadness that I am confirming that the legendary, iconic performer, Prince Rogers Nelson, has died at his Paisley Park residence this morning at the age of 57," said his publicist Yvette Noel-Schure.

 

Earlier Thursday, police said they were investigating a death Paisley Park studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota.

There is a massive outpouring of grief on social media. Some are saying the icon's death is what it sounds like when doves cry, a reference to his monster hit.

 

In early April, Prince said he wasn't feeling well, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, and canceled at least one concert in the city. Some days later, he took the stage in Atlanta to perform. After that concert, the singer's plane made an emergency landing, Noel-Schure told CNN. At the time she said, "He is fine and at home."

 

Prince has won seven Grammy Awards, and has earned 30 nominations. Five of his singles have topped the charts and 14 other songs hit the Top 10. He won an Oscar for the original song score to the classic film "Purple Rain."

The singer's predilection for lavishly kinky story-songs earned him the nickname, His Royal Badness. He is also known as the "Purple One" because of his colorful fashions. His sound was as unique and transfixing as he. He created what became known as Minneapolis sound which was a funky blend of pop, synth and new wave.

 

Controversy followed the singer and that, in part, made his fans adore him more. "Darling Nikki," a song that details a one-night stand, prompted the formation of the Parents Music Resource Center. Led by Al Gore's then wife, Tipper, the group encouraged record labels to place advisory labels on albums with explicit lyrics.

He left his imprint on so many aspects of popular culture from film to movies to sports to politics. As the Minnesota Vikings prepped to take on the New Orleans Saints in the 2010 NFC championship game, Prince wrote a fight song entitled "Purple and Gold" to inspire his home team. The Vikings lost. He was the half-time performer at the Super Bowl in 2007.

 

Last year while addressing the unrest following the death of Freddie Gray while in police custody in Baltimore, Prince released the song "Baltimore." He performed at a benefit concert in the city and gave a portion of the proceeds to youth groups in Baltimore.

Boko Haram-Afflicted Countries to Receive $40 Million from U.S

 
The four African countries bordering Lake Chad currently combating the Nigeria-based jihadist group Boko Haram will receive $40 million in humanitarian assistance from the United States, according to Samantha Power, the American ambassador to the United Nations.
Reuters reports, “The money was to help about seven million people affected by the insurgent group that has killed around 15,000 people.”

The $40 million will bring total U.S. aid to the region, since 2014, to $237 million, notedPower who was in the capital of Cameroon where she met the country’s president, Paul Biya.
After meeting with President Biya, Power told reporters:

I underscored to these leaders that the United States is committed to partnering with Cameroon to defeat Boko Haram. Defeating Boko Haram and neutralizing its impact so that civilians feel safe requires work on multiple fronts, and we are working on multiple fronts here in Cameroon and also in the broader Lake Chad Basin region. We are training and equipping regional militaries and we are sharing intelligence with those forces to strengthen the region’s capacity to mount a coordinated fight against Boko Haram. The United States will stand with Cameroon until Boko Haram is vanquished.

Power also “attended a ceremony to burn 2,000 tusks in a bid to end elephant poaching,” reports Reuters, adding that her trip included visits to Chad and Nigeria.

The four countries that border Lake Chad include Cameroon, Niger, Chad, and Nigeria, all of which are contributing military forces to fight Boko Haram.

“We discussed the monstrous threat posed by Boko Haram and we agreed, and he [Cameroon President Biya] was very forceful on this point, that the military response alone could not succeed in defeating Boko Haram in the long-term,” reportedly said the U.S. envoy.

Reuters quoted Power as saying, “Respect for human rights, good governance, economic and forest development and a focus on civil society were essential components of the [anti-Boko Haram] campaign.”
Power was expected to visit the African region’s Multinational Joint Task Force, which includes troops from Cameroon, Nigeria, Chad, Niger, and Benin.

Boko Haram has pledged its loyalty to the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL). The United States has contributed troops and drones to combat the jihadist group.
In late February, the United States Africa Command (USAFRICOM) said that America hadoffered to send special operations troops to help Nigeria fight Boko Haram.

“At the request of the Nigerian government, the SOCAFRICA (Special Operations Command Africa) component of USAFRICOM conducted a preliminary assessment regarding the feasibility of resuming a limited advise-and-assist mission alongside select Nigerian units,” said the U.S. military in a statement.
The deployment would include a “platoon-sized” team, typically meaning a group of between 12-30 troops, noted USAFRICOM.

A vehicle in Power’s motorcade that was carrying U.N. and Cameroonian official struck a young boy on Monday, various news outlets report.

“Medics in the convoy treated him but he died of his injuries,” notes Reuters.
“I joined the (Cameroonian) governor of the area… the leading U.N. official who manages the humanitarian and development response and Ambassador Hoza, and we visited with the boy’s family to offer our profound condolences,” Power said in a speech.

Power urged the international community to aid the development of areas affected by Boko Haram.

Cameroon:Soon one can be able to change from any mobile operator(mtn,orange,nextel) without changing the phone number

In Yaounde yesterday Tuesday, was signed an implementation contract of portability in Cameroon between Huawei Technologies and telephone industry operators.

This was an awesome and cheerful atmosphere to know that all mobile operators signed the contract yesterday with Huawei Technologies which covers the implementation of portability in Cameroon. Portability is the ability for a customer to use the same subscription number, regardless of the operator or the grid operator to which he subscribes, even if the customer is changing operators or operator .

According to François Kamgam, the third technical advisor to the Telecommunications Regulatory Agency (ART), “portability will provide many benefits to subscribers, in that it increases the margin and the degree of freedom. Today one has the freedom of subscribing to an operator but once home, he/she faces challenges such as informing the family or friends that the number has been changed.

The instant portability will be implemented; the subscriber will not have this concern as already discussed above. He/she can go from one operator to another while keeping the same number”, says the adviser, also chairman of the implementation committee of portability in Cameroon. This source says that even economically, the benefits are many. The market thus signed yesterday between Huawei Technologies and operators has a delivery time of seven months. If everything is done in time, portability will be finalized by November 2016.

If MTN and Viettel (Nexttel)  opted to salute this initiative of ART, it means that portability will guarantee a healthy and vigorous competition between operators, Orange side, "It is indeed an instrument to salute but implementation will not be easy. Especially as the database to build will still cost 1.5 billion F for operators, "says Elisabeth Medou Badang, CEO of Orange Cameroon.

Today, while Huawei is currently installing the centralized database for portability , ART has undertaken the initiative to inform and educate consumers about the upcoming change . Similarly, there are provisions on service quality and penalties for failures to write. Because with the signing yesterday, operators undertook to respond to malfunctions in the context of portability and ART will apply sanctions .

Cameroonian Prostitute Found Dead In Bordeaux-France

 
Last Saturday the body of a Cameroonian woman named Nyangono Thecla, 51, was found in advanced state of decomposition in a van parked near the Saint Jean train station in Bordeaux. According new reports, she was offering sexual services illegally in her mobile van close to the railway station.

French Police think the backup heater she was using , located in the cockpit, could have produced too much carbon monoxide which she inhaled and suffocated. Thecla had been missing for close to 15 days. Her relatives became worried about her absence and alerted the police which led to the discovery of her decomposing body.

Prosecutors in Bordeaux had ordered an autopsy to determine the exact cause and date of death.

Kanye West is being 'SUED by a fan. See why (images)

The rapper is facing legal action after allegedly failing to abide by his 'exclusivity promise'

Kanye West is being sued by fan

After a long wait and multiple name changes, most of us were relieved when Kanye West finally released his latest album, The Life Of Pablo.
The rapper initially told fans that his eight studio album would ONLY be available to listen to on Jay Z's Tidal - forcing fans to suscribe.
Fans were left unimpressed when he later went back on his word and one is now reportedly SUING the star.

According to USA Today, Justin Baker-Rhett claims he was tricked into signing up to streaming service Tidal because it was the only way to buy Kanye's new album.

 

Chicago law firm Edelson PC has filed the class-action lawsuit on behalf of the fan and is also calling for damages and the deletion of subscribers' personal data.

In February, Kanye tweeted: "My album will never never never be on Apple. And it will never be for sale… You can only get it on Tidal."

  The star at his Yeezy Season 3 and album launch at Madison Square Garden

However, a month later the album was released on rival streaming website, Spotify, as well as iTunes, Pandora, Google Play, and Kanye's own website.
Baker-Rhett claims the exclusivity promise was just a fraudulent ploy to add millions of subscribers to a struggling Tidal.
In a statement, Mr Baker-Rhett's attorney, Jay Edelson, said: "We fully support the right of artists to express themselves freely and creatively, however creative freedom is not a licence to mislead the public.

"We believe that we will be able to prove to a jury that Mr West and Tidal tricked millions of people into subscribing to their services and that they will ultimately be held accountable for what they did."

According to reports, he has also claimed the scheme tripled Tidal's subscriber base to three million, boosted its value by $60m (£42m) to $84m (£58m) and threatened fans' privacy by forcing them to turn over credit card and other personal information.
Baker-Rhett's is trying to turn his case against West and Tidal into a class action - where people who subscribed to Tidal between 15 February and 1 April can claim they're in the same position.

The new action comes after Rihanna's old publicist slams the streaming service as an "embarrassment".

Record producer Jonathan Hay, who worked with RiRi in 2005, says that being part of the subscription-only streaming site is destroying the legacy of popular artists.

And he claims that Rihanna was “upset” when her latest album Anti sold just 460 copies in the first week after it was given away for free by Tidal.
Kanye West also saw his album The Life Of Pablo fail to chart when it was first released on the streamer.

Could Cristiano Ronaldo be up for his next Ballon D'or?

 
Cristiano Ronaldo's form this year has been so good, one might wonder how he performs at such a high level at the age of 31. Ronaldo has set a new record in the Spanish league, becoming the first player to have scored at least 30 goals in six consecutive season. Behind him in the list is Leo Messi, of Barcelona, who has scored 30 or more in four consecutive season.

Top Spanish paper Marca have published a report saying the 3 time Ballon D'or winner is the favourite to win the 2016 Ballon D'or saying Messi and Neymar and other possible candidates have been below par this season. Read the full report after the cut and tell us what you think?

'Cristiano Ronaldo's form at Real Madrid over the last few months might well have placed him in with a real chance of Ballon d'Or glory once again.And things had been going so well for rivals Barcelona.'

 'Lionel Messi and Neymar, well on the way to another successful season with the Blaugrana, were stood on the podium in Zurich back in January awaiting the results alongside their Madrid counterpart.'

Messi, unsurprisingly, won the world' best player award for a fifth time, with his Brazilian teammate making history just by standing alongside him and Ronaldo.

'At that point, not only did retaining the Champions League trophy for the first time in its current format look possible, but so did an unprecedented second successive treble.Fast-forward three months, though, and everything has gone wrong.'

Elimination from European competition at the hands of Atletico Madrid last Wednesday was the low point, but that misery was compounded by a home defeat to Valencia on Sunday evening.

'Now, what looked like an uncatchable nine-point lead in La Liga has been cut to zero, the Catalans leading second-placed Atleti purely by virtue of the head-to-head rule.Real can't be ignored either, sitting a point further back.

'The race for the Ballon d'Or, which is never too far away from the minds of either Ronaldo or Messi in any event, has swung in the Portuguese international's favour.While Messi has been playing with injury lately, Ronaldo has stormed ahead in the goal scoring charts, both domestically and on the continent.'

''He was the inspiration behind Real's stunning Champions League quarterfinal comeback against Wolfsburg, scoring a hat-trick.This is a personal award which hinges on the big moments of course, and with arguably the biggest club competition in the game still to fight for, and his goal in the recent Clasico victory, Ronaldo could well be favourite.''

As Ronaldo hunts more success, both Neymar and Messi will be looking to rekindle their spark with six games left in the title race.

Samuel Eto'o visits former club Barcelona,calls them family.

Former Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o visited Barcelona's training ground on Monday to wish his former teammates luck in the final stretch of the season, following their poor recent run of form.

He caught up with former teammates Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta, as well as current star Neymar. He posted a photo on his Instagram where he referred to his former teammates as 'family'.

The forward enjoyed a fantastic spell of success at the Camp Nou between 2004 and 2009, scored 108 league goals, and was part of the famous treble-winning side of 2009. He is now playing in Turkey for MP Antalyaspor.

Jamie Vardy charged with improper conduct following red card in Leicester's draw.

Vardy was shown a second yellow by Jonathan Moss for an alleged dive and reacted angrily, pointing the finger at the official and appearing to swear at him

 

Vardy points the finger at Moss following his red card

Jamie Vardy could be hit with a three-game ban after being charged by the FA.
It is a potentially-devastating blow to Leicester’s title challenge as their 21-goal top scorer is now almost certain to miss the trip to Manchester United on top of Sunday’s game with Swansea.
But the Football Association could also give him an extra game - ruling him out of Everton on May 7 - depending on how serious the Commission view the incident and if he swore and was slow to leave the pitch when sent off by Jon Moss on Sunday.
Leicester have also been charged for failing to control their players after West Ham were given an 83rd minute penalty and they are likely to be hit with a heavy fine.
Vardy was charged with disrepute after angrily finger pointing at referee Jon Moss and being slow to leave the pitch. Chelsea striker Diego Costa got an extra game suspension for failing to leave the pitch at Everton last month.

It is also understood that the FA are studying video footage to investigate whether Vardy called Moss a “f***ing cheat” or used another swear word.
Leicester have until Thursday 6pm to respond and are likely to respond to the charges but it is almost certain that Vardy will get at least one extra game if found guilty.
West Ham striker Andy Carroll who accused Moss of trying to “even things up” is likely to get off with just a letter asking for his observations.
Moss’s performance has been widely criticised after he gave two controversial penalty decisions and sent off Vardy.
But, incredibly, it has now emerged that the Premier League’s top two officials were not available for duty last weekend because they were told to rest before a UEFA fitness course this week

Mark Clattenburg and Martin Atkinson flew out on Monday to join with Michael Oliver, Craig Pawson, Anthony Taylor and Andre Marriner on the course.
Former top referee and referees’ boss Keith Hackett slammed Moss’ “weak and inconsistent” performance and claimed the game was “too big for him.”
Hackett said: “It was the worst refereeing performance I have witnessed all season. Frankly this was too big a game for him – he failed to remain calm and in control. Tempo management was missing. He needed to put his foot on the ball.
“Moss was totally inconsistent with his decision making, highlighted by the large number of grappling offences that went unpunished.
“Crucially, we are seeing the product of weak refereeing throughout the season when it comes to grappling. The fact that referees are not penalising it in a consistent manner has made this a cancer in the game.”

The #16 of The World’s 30 Highest-Paid Athletes (Forbes) is a Cameroonian. Check it out.(image)

 
The Miami Dolphins signed Suh to a six-year, $114.3 million contract in March after Suh spent five years with the Detroit Lions. With a $25 million signing bonus and $59.9 million guaranteed, the defensive end is now the highest paid defensive player in NFL history. Suh set a record for personal fouls with nine in his first two years in the league, but the Dolphins are more interested in Suh’s high level of play and four Pro Bowl selections.

FULL LIST (Forbes)

From Ndamukong Suh’s personal website

Ndamukong Suh was born on January 6th, 1987 to a Jamaican mother, Bernadette, and a Cameroonian father, Michael. In the Ngema tribe in Cameroon, Ndamukong means “House of Spears.” At Grant High School in Portland, Suh was a two-way star on the football team, earning Parade Magazine All-American honors and Portland Interscholastic League Defensive Player of the Year. Considered among the nation’s best defensive tackle prospects, he chose to attend the University of Nebraska to study Engineering.

During his junior year at Nebraska, he was the first Nebraska defensive lineman to lead the team in tackles since 1973. In 2009, his senior year, he registered 82 tackles, 12 sacks and helped lead the Cornhuskers to the top ranking scoring defense in the nation, yielding only 10.4 points per game. Suh balanced time as a student-athlete and philanthropist, volunteering his time speaking to youth at local schools, and hours spent visiting with patients of Omaha Children’s Hospital. Upon his graduation, Suh donated $2.6 million to the University of Nebraska, including $600,000 towards an endowed engineering scholarship, with the first recipient announced in May 2013.

 In the 2010 NFL draft, he was selected second overall by the Detroit Lions. His rare combination of strength, agility and speed made him an instant force in the NFL. He was selected Rookie of the Year and named to the NFL’s All-Pro team. Suh was also voted a Pro-Bowl starter, which was the first time for a rookie defensive player in NFL history. In 2011 he helped lead the Detroit Lions to their first playoff appearance since 1999. Following the 2012 season, he was named to the NFL’s All-Pro team, and represented the NFC in the Pro Bowl for his second time in three seasons. In addition to making an impact on the field, Suh has made his presence felt in the local community, including partnering with the Detroit Medical Center where he donates toys for each DMC Children’s Hospital patient during the holiday season and serves as coaches for their annual wheelchair basketball fundraiser.

Ndamukong’s unwavering commitment to education is shown through donation of backpacks filled with a year of school supplies for students of Detroit, Nebraska, and Portland who agree to give their best. His support of health wellness and nutrition exhibited through a summer football and life skills camp in Detroit, the only of its kind and promoted in his partnerships with companies Subway and Nike among others. His international outreach knows no bounds, adopting a school in Bamenda Cameroon, Africa, and assisting educational development in Jamaica, through his foundation, The Ndamukong Suh Family Foundation.

I can't cease but wonder to myself why i have not heard of him till now. Do this people ever think of where they are coming from?Well i guess am just curious like you are.

Cameroon:7-Year-Old boy hit and killed by UN Ambassador’s motorcade.

The motorcade carrying the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power, struck and killed a 7-year-old boy in northern Cameroon today, U.S. officials said.

The boy darted out into the road when he was struck by an armored vehicle carrying U.S. officials.
He was apparently distracted by the helicopter flying over the convoy that was offering close aerial support, a U.S. official said.

Power confirmed that the Cameroonian boy died of his injuries shortly after being hit. A spokesman for the ambassador said she was “devastated” to learn of the incident.
“We visited with the boy’s family to offer our profound condolences and to express our grief and heartbreak with what the family is going through,” Power said in a statement.
The ambassador’s delegation was accompanied by a number of journalists, including ABC News’ Juju Chang.

Neither Power nor the journalists were in the car that struck the young boy.
The cars were traveling around 43 mph, a U.S. official said.
Power is in Cameroon to kick off a week-long trip focused on the war against the militant group Boko Haram that will also include stops in Chad and Nigeria.

After the accident, ABC News followed Power to a refugee camp where she met a girl who escaped after being forced married to a Boko Haram fighter.
While meeting with the girl, the ambassador became emotional.
“You’re a 14-year-old girl in your village, these guys show up and say, ‘Hey, I have a choice for you. I am going to kill you or you can marry me.’ The quadruply sad part of it is — it’s clear she thinks she made a choice, that wasn’t a choice,” she said, getting choked up.

Today’s accident happened at a time when the delegation that took pains to draw attention to the horrors inflicted on children facing violence from Boko Haram.

The ambassador’s trip also comes on the heels of the second anniversary of the Chibok girls’ kidnapping.
Last week, UNICEF released a chilling report saying the abducted schoolgirls are being used with lethal effectiveness as suicide bombers.

There were 151 suicide attacks by Boko Haram in the region in 2015 alone, according to the report. One in five of those attacks were by children and 75 percent of them were conducted by girls.

Cesc Fabregas reveals why Jose Mourinho was sacked.

The Portuguese boss was sacked just half a year after winning the Premier League at Stamford Bridge and Fabregas has spoken out about his mistakes

Relaxed: Chelsea took their foot off the gas this season

Cesc Fabregas believes that the main reason Jose Mourinho was sacked by Chelsea was because he trusted his players too much.
Mourinho was axed just half a year after winning the Premier League title at Stamford Bridge with the Blues lingering in the bottom half of the table.
The Portuguese boss, who is the favourite to take over at Manchester United at the end of the season, insisted that he was betrayed by his players.
And Fabregas has admitted that the team did not do enough to support him.
The Spanish midfielder insisted that Mourinho was made to pay for allowing his Chelsea stars to relax too much.

Speaking on Monday Night Football, he said: "A lot has been said. I love Jose and I consider him my friend and we still keep in touch right now.
"Some of the things said were unfortunate, but I have huge respect for him.
"I think Jose's biggest problem was that he trusted us too much. He gave us more holiday because we were champions. He had been trusting us and we let him down.

Determined: Fabregas is determined to right the wrongs of this season

"The whole team has, all of the players, and that was the main reason why he had to go.
"For that, myself and the rest of the team, we feel bad for that."
Chelsea will finish the season outside of the European places despite their mini revival under Guus Hiddink.
Their crown appears likely to be going to either Leicester or Tottenham, but Fabregas believes that the Foxes will have enough about them to win the title, even after this weekend's slip up.
Spurs can close the gap to five points with a win over Stoke on Monday night after Leicester only claimed one point in a controversial draw with West Ham.

 

In the balance: Leicester's title bid could be hampered by the draw with West Ham

"I think Spurs are pushing as hard as they can to get as close to them as possible," said Fabregas. "But I think Leicester will win it and deservedly so."
When asked if he thought there would be another twist, he said: "Hopefully not! I don't want Spurs to win it!
"For what has happened through the season, I would love Leicester to win the Premier League."
  
Was it ok for Chelsea to sack Mourinho?
