After his recent call for young Cameroonians to consider careers in IT and to use IT responsibly, Binyuy Jude Verla has been nicknamed 'The IT Preacher'. To continue his IT advocacy, Binyuy Jude Verla just published another very enriching piece of information. This time around he focuses on the extent to which IT is helping individuals with different types of disabilities;

Binyuy Jude Verla :- "Since the advent of computers, disabled people have been provided with new, exciting opportunities to connect, share, and work. In some cases, technologies have been developed and perfected to provide the disabled with an easier lifestyle. In others, technologies that have become available to the general public, such as the Internet, are not as accessible as one may hope. However, many computers and programs have and will continue to help blind, deaf, and physically disabled people" :

Editorial written by John Akuma:

In the presidential elections in Cameroon in October 2018, Paul Biya emerged victorious. This was his 6th reelection. As is often the case in Africa, suspicion and misunderstanding have emerged in some western chancelleries, showing a deep misunderstanding of the links between the local population and it's head of state, and more generally the way in which Africans apprehend their relationship with authority.

On 7 October, observers from Africa and around the world, were present to ensure the validity of the ballot. In the results, with the notable exception of the Littoral region, President Paul Biya had gathered the vast majority of votes.

If in the West, such political longevity at the head of a state raises doubts, it is not the case in Africa. Every traveler across the country understands the connection between the head of state and his people, and the same relationship is found between the inhabitants of a village and the traditional chief.

When women work to rise to the top, whether in politics, business or community advocacy, they face resistance, discrimination, social stereotypes and double standards, the President of the General Assembly said today as she opened a high-level event on “Women in Power”. The figures speak for themselves, 90 per cent of Heads of Government are men, said María Fernanda Espinosa Garcés (Ecuador), calling on world leaders to demonstrate the political will needed to change the course of history.
The great majority of countries have never been governed by women, she continued.  If the current trend continues, achieving equality will take over 100 years.  Women face myriad challenges in politics.  They are judged by how they look and how they are dressed, more than their ideas.  And when they do express their views and opinions, they are held to a much higher standard than men.

This situation is real, and we must work to combat it, she stressed.  Underrepresentation of women in political lif…
