Roving sports ambassador, Roger Milla has fired back at Fecafoot after he was sacked last week from his post of honorary Fecafoot president. The ambassador started off by saying that it was ridiculous for Fecafoot to sack him since he was not its employee. He also added that he was neither a member of the executive committee or of the general assembly and that this sacking should not be seen as a sacking from involvement in Cameroon football since only the President of the Republic could do such. He said Fecafoot had freed him since he could now expose all the shady dealings going on there. In his long list of declarations, he revealed that he had been begged to be the honorarypresident. It is worth mentioning that these declarations are the latest chapter in the ongoing saga between Fecafoot and the former lion turned ambassador. In recent months, Fecafoot has made more headlines for non-football relatedactivities as pundits expect something dramatic to happen. While all this drama goes on, it is easy to see that our football is suffering.

Since going pro , Timothée Atouba has enjoyed a good run plying his trade with various big European clubs. If this move goes through then he would have joined the growing legion of ex-Europe -based footballers playing out their last years in the North American footbal league.

After the viral proliferation of the article about Cameroonian artists to protest against P-Square concert on social network , newspapers and blogs, there has been a torrential reaction across the world. While some considered it pejorative, others had a different angles to judge from the hypothesis. The truth is that Cameroonian artists do not have any problem with a P-Square concert, their major concern is MTN.
The president of SYCAMU, Romeo Dika decided to post a comment , Friday 18th on nexdimempire.com to throw more light on the issue, hence painting the right portrait. The comment was written in French . Here is an interpretation;
”Thank you for your contribution. Permit me say that I have no problem with the young brothers of the group P SQUARE. It’s my pleasure to know that African youths can be successful with one or two phrases, that’s the magic of inspiration. We should however not go beyond the scope of the union’s claim at the moment. SYCAMU is opposing MTN, which illegally operates music downloads without permission from the rights holders, this is what mobilized artists and producers in Cameroon in order that MTN complies with the law. Moreover, for this purpose, SYCAMU informed the NIGERIAN PMAN, and its president has agreed to support our action against MTN considered by them as criminal. This strong mobilization led MTN to pay the arrears , to declare the P SQUARE concert, and pledged to the government to negotiate the acquisition of official licenses. It is therefore in the interest of the establishment and not the meaning you give to this law case. You can insult me as you want, but the Nigerian musicians who have worked with me in the studio ; TABANSY RECORDS, ROGERS ALL STARS in Onitsha, and PREMIER RECORDS in LAGOS, like JIDE OBY, FELIX LEBARTY, ANDY SHURMAND, SONNY Okosun, Stella Monye, Onyeka etc acknowledge what I did as a producer of Nigerian hits . I wish you well and the best for P SQUARE”.

Cameroon’s football legend Roger Milla has been stripped off his role as honorary president of FECAFOOT after throwing bullets at the President Iya Mohammed and other officials for corruption and mismanagement. This decision was arrived at on Wednesday 16th May during a meeting held with all FECAFOOT officials in Yaounde . Article 45 of their statute stipulates the expulsion of any member who is guilty of jeopardizing the name of the institution.
According to Roger Milla who wasn’t present during the judgment, this decision doesn’t hurt him in any way but rather brings him great relief and he is determined to continue his campaign against the bottle-necks.

Hardly have domestic leagues come to an end that some teams are already player hunting. One of those clubs is Italian giants A.C Milan who have renewed interest in Cameroonian central defender Jean-Armel Kana-Biyik who plies his trade with French side Rennes. The Italian side recently sent a scout to watch the Cameroonian player in action last week. It is said that the 22 yr old is a top priority for the Italians as they seek to make up for the impending loss of Alessandro Nesta. A.C Milan is apparently not the only side with eyes for Oman Biyik’s son. Tottenham have joined the queue of teams seeking to recruit the services of the Cameroonian. The player has on his part said he has a special liking for the English league. While waiting for this story to unfold, it is important to note that this is just the beginning of a long process as his French club are said to be reluctant to let him go unless a great offer is made.
