<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 22.2633px;">R to L. Tom Ilube, Dr Olaokun Soyinka and representatives of Sterling bank and Vlisco.</span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="font-size: 13.696px;">Ever wondered how some prestigious literary platforms get all the money they need to fund their projects? Like
flying a bunch of guest/invited writers to a writing workshop or literary festival? Or paying for their lodging and feeding? Or funding living stipends of artists at a writing residency? It is a question the "Financing the arts" panel of the 2017 Aké festival attempted answering. There were four panelists, Dr Olaokun Soyinka, Tom Ilube, a gentleman representing Sterling Bank and a lady representing Vlisco whose names I have sadly forgotten.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13.696px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><br />
I scribbled notes from all what I gathered from that panel. Funding comes primarily from two sources -an individual with the cash to splash or from an organisation. You should know what and when to ask, and what
and when to pitch. Many organisations like Sterling Bank finance artistic projects from a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds perspective: actions that further some social good, beyond the interests of a firm, which is required and allowed by law.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13.696px;">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13.696px;">
<span lang="EN-US">Research the organisation's funding cycle well, so you can know
when to ask for funding. For instance, most organisations round off their annual financial activities and balance their accounts in December, so it is generally not a good time
to ask. You may need to get close to an employee of a "target organisation", in order to have access to such in house funding information. Also, use the right terminology when asking for money.
Use your creative talents in your request emails to stand out from other
creatives who are also pitchng. Many creatives send languid emails to funders, which do not stand out, which may lead to them not receiving any reply and no money. You will be one among a bunch of others asking for funding, so
your project must be relatable and presented in a creative way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13.696px; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">You must have your
elevator pitch or thirty seconds pitch and your extended pitch. Tom Ilube said
you will only have thirty seconds with a billionaire funder. You may meet him/her at an elevator (hence the name) or during a flight check-in. Use your thirty seconds well to sum up your project. Funders are busy people who may initially give you only little time the first time
they meet you, so make it count. He narrated his personal experences about meeting rich funders and failing woefully with his pitching. The most poignant was meeting someone who asked for his elevator pitch only. But Tom only had his extended pitch then. The man had told Tom to wait, he would be right back and when the man left, he was gone for good! Tom said what he learnt from that experience is that, he had to find himself a killer elevator pitch! </span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span><span lang="EN-US">Creatives should not be afraid to fail with their pitching. Tom
says he has failed so many times. Nobody used to give him money at first. But he has learnt from each of those failures
and improved his pitching game enormously over the years. He is now more
succesful at pitching. He now funds the Nommo awards for Sci-fi and Spec fic, but he is still failing with his pitching and learning everyday. He says there will always be people who are uninterested in your project but rigorous charm will convince them. You just need to make them aware of your project by engaging and making them interested.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13.696px; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">How to avoid abuse from
companies: Set yourself targets. For instance, you can start by
working for free. When you have made a considerable impact at what you do, then you
can decide to start getting paid. If someone asks you to work for them for free, you can say something like, "My schedule is kind of busy right now,
so I can't really do it gor free." There should be a time in your
career when you have to go, "At this point, I'm not doing it for free
anymore, I should get paid."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13.696px; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13.696px; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Tom said we are entering
an age for lots of creative content, especially digital content. Netflix has a nine
billion dollar budget for content. These tech companies are fighting
each other for high quality content. But you have to be world class first, in order to get in.
Nnedi Okorafor comes to my mind. Pay attention to hone your craft, then pitch and pitch and pitch. After a bunch of initial failures, you will eventually obtain the
funds your need for your art project.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">Let's say they are both
friends and they want to step out at night. While the Douala based one just
pops out of the house, the Yaounde based one stays behind, looking for their ID
card. 'D, have you seen my ID?' Y asks. D sighs. 'Why do you sigh?' Y asks. 'I
didn't take mine either.' 'D, get your ID nah. Oh I've just seen mine. Find
yours, lets go.' 'I don't need it,' D says. 'What? Why?' Y wonders. 'In fact,
whenever I go out in this Douala, I leave the thing behind.' 'Are you guys not
afraid of police check ups?' Y asks. D inhales. 'Have you ever passed around
Rond Point or the main junction in Ndokoti around 7.00 PM?' 'No,' Y answers.
'Okay, 1 million cars, 3 million okadas and 5 million people snail around those
places between 7-9 PM. So tell me, which police officer wants to do that kind
of suicidal work, checking IDs?' D points out. 'Na wah oh. Na so yi dey for
here?' 'So leave that ID thing behind and lets go. Only pick it up when you're
about to travel out of Douala, if not you're finished!'</span></div>

His most experimental yet. His most political yet. His most racially charged. The whole album plays gently. Like a Hoopty car in a slow cruise in the Marcy projects hood, scared of an ambush by police cars nearby. Jay-Z is 47 now - so 4:44 is a mature jazz rap opus of family, unlike his past rap of opulence and crack. Every song sort of has the mood of “Song cry” - weepy background vocals, instruments almost scared of playing, light piano keys, horns that behave, bass that bats gently like Thundercat’s, brass that is scared of being brash. No danceable H to the Izzos. No groovy party bangin Big Pimpins. No fast paced Timbaland inspired dirt off your shoulders. Just a lush Jay-Z with a jazzy sound, coupled with some soul, some blues. Fifty cent described it as music that you can listen to on a golf course. I like the album’s experimentation, though it didn’t grip me like “Blueprint” did. The Cameroonian hip hop fans who love Jay-Z are not crazy about it. It is right up there among his best albums but not his best album.<br />
<br />
Every single song is infused with background vocals and solid music samples, ranging from Hannah Williams to Blue Irvy, Gloria Carter, Frank Ocean and the Fugees; constant singing, some wailing, some gurgling, some auto-tuning. Jay-Z then steers his slow cruise with rhymes which are as subtle as his ride. And it’s tight! He’s a man of mistakes in them. He’s a reflective parent in them. He’s an unfaithful husband in them. An apologetic man to Beyoncé in them. But in some songs, he quickly morphs into a gun wielding smooth criminal driver and takes diss shots at everybody around him, from 50 cent to Kanye West, to OJ Simpson and even the Oscars, reminiscent of that old Jay-Z that walloped Mobb Deep.<br />
<br />
The first track is a hookless one verse song aptly titled, “Kill Jay-Z”. It’s a very alarming song, especially for an album intro. A touching line goes, “We know the pain is real but you can’t heal what you’ve never revealed.” And Jay-Z goes on to reveal very shocking facts about his life, like shooting his brother, like selling drugs to close people he loves, like dropping out of school. So how can fans know if they can trust this Jay-Z? Fuck Jay-Z. “Kill Jay-Z” –literally! Is it a form of catharsis? He sets the tone of the album as a fallible Jay-Z that can falter. But even though he had no father, he’s got a daughter, so he has to get softer –not on Kanye West though, he is the first person he disses.<br />
<br />
In “The story of OJ” Jay uses OJ’s trademark, “I’m not black, I’m OJ” statement to address the realities and truths of being black in America. Being a marginalised Anglophone in Cameroon, it’s a song which resonates with me on many levels, especially the denial, which an Anglophone minister embodied with his unbelievable announcement on state TV, “There is no Anglophone problem in Cameroon!” Jay-Z is also a wise entrepreneur in the song, “You wanna know what’s more important than throwin money in a strip club? Credit. You ever wondered why Jewish people own all the property in America? That’s how they did it.”<br />
<br />
The next two songs pave the way for the track which hands the album its title, 4:44, which he woke up at 4:44 in the morning to write. The song plays for exactly 4 minutes and 44 seconds. Jay-Z starts his rhymes with “I apologize…” and he apologizes many times to Beyoncé throughout the first two verses, for cheating on her. He even asks for forgiveness from his children, Blue Irvy and the twins. Jay-Z samples a Hannah Williams song which is about infidelity itself. The music video for the song is such an emotionally complex one. It is not a traditional hip hop music video even. It is some hyper art visual with snippets of music that snaps constantly to show skits. Nigerian writer, Akwaeke Emezi makes a cameo appearance in the video. It’s the kind of visual work that aligns with her visual art.<br />
<br />
“Family Feud” is slightly inspired by church background vocals. The rapper further explores family tension. The most outstanding line to me remains, “Nobody wins when the family feuds.” He also distances himself from Becky with the good hair, “Let me alone Becky, a man that don’t take care of his family can’t be rich. I watched Godfather I miss that whole shit. My consciousness was Michael’s common sense. I missed the karma that came as a consequence.” I think this song and 4:44 are good examples to Cameroonian married men with dysfunctional marriages and with big egos who cheat. Apologize. Make the effort to fix up your family feuds.<br />
<br />
“Bam” is the only song with a strong Reggae feel and middle tempo blaring horns because, well, there’s Damian Marley in there, who sings the raspy hook and kills it. It’s the only song getting airplay in my country the most. After a brilliant joint album with Nas, “Distant Relatives”, Damian is the go to guy for brilliant reggae-rap joint ventures. He is his father’s genuine musical successor. He towers over all his other Marley Reggae brothers.<br />
<br />
Jay-Z proceeds to diss that iconic 2016 Oscar moment in the next song. The Oscar flop of all times, when Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway mistakenly announced the white cast movie, “La La Land” as winner of the Best Picture award, when the black cast movie, “Moonlight” actually won that prestigious Academy. Jay coincidentally dubs the song, “Moonlight” to reflect that. It’s my favourite on the album. He tackles racism in America head on, “He’s talking la la land, even when we win we gon lose”. Then he tackles beefs head on, “Stop walkin round like you made Thriller uh…please don’t talk about guns, that you aint never gon use…why just so fucking confused? Y’all’s talking la la land.” The “Fu-Gee-la” Lauryn Hill vocal sample playing in the background which aligns with his la la land chant is a smart choice.<br />
<br />
“Marcy me” has got the best piano keys composition on the album. In it, Jay-Z time travels back to the dangerous Marcy Projects buildings in New York where he grew up, cooking coke, “where the boys died by their thousands.” He charts his way up to Manhattan success, aligning it with images of other icons’ emergence, successes and failures. Michael Jordan losing to Isaiah Thomas early in his career and all. He gives shout outs to his heroes. Blue Irvy opens “Legacy”, the last song on the album which has very gentle horns. Jay-Z muses deeply on his extended family that raised him, not his wife and kids. He half ponders on being a have from a family of have-nots. He imagines who will do what with his wealth and legacy when he’ll finally pass, as he finally parks the slow riding 4:44 car.<br />

music critic too. I’ve reviewed music before mainly on social media anyway. But I want to be more
serious with it now.</span></b></div>

hurt, do different kinds of writing. Even reviews of different forms of art
help your writing in ways you can't imagine. One of the things I learnt later
in my career was that, writing isn't just one thing. There are many forms. The
more forms you explore, the best you become overall at the whole thing. It
informs your fiction and it informs everything. My blogs are usually very
simple. I went somewhere and saw this. But if you look at them you notice that
they have something more. That's from working in the writing industry, from TV
to Radio to print to web for many different people with different needs. It all
adds up. Unfortunately, no one told me these things when I was starting out. In
fact, family and friends thought I was flaky, changing spaces of writing all
the time. The having to write for different people forced me to have a unique
style that informed how I write even now.</span></div>

2017 as the year that almost all the records at the Caine prize got broken.
Interestingly, no records were actually broken except one –the oldest writer to
make the shortlist. Sixty five year old Sudanese, Bushra al-Fadil is the oldest fictioneer
to get nominated for the Caine prize. Record! “The story of the little girl
whose birds flew away” is a translation from Arabic to English which almost became
the first translated story to make the top five. But there has been an Arabic
translated story on the shortlist before. Bushra was almost the first Sudanese writer
to grace the Caine prize shortlist too. However, that record eternally belongs
to Leila Abouleila. She is not only the first Sudanese Caine recognized writer
but also their first ever prize winner in 2000.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Lesley Nneka Arimah is slaying.
Besides winning the Commonwealth short story prize in 2015, she’s now been in
the Caine Prize champions league final for two consecutive seasons like Real
Madrid -in 2016 and 2017. Lesley almost set a record with her back to back shortlisting but
oops, Henrietta Rose-Innes reigns in that realm. She made the shortlist in 2007
and again in 2008 with a story titled,“Poison” which ultimately won her the
Caine. So if Lesley wins it this year, she’ll only be the second writer to
accomplish that. I know some readers are already saying, “Lesley will be the
first writer to win the Commonwealth short story prize and Caine prize then!”
Being recognized on both platforms will be quite an achievement for her, yet it
is another oops. Her compatriot, Helon Habila has been there and done that already.
He won both prestigious writing awards in 2001.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">22-year-old Nigerian, Ifeakandu Arinze
almost broke the “youngest writer to ever get shortlisted for the Caine” record.
Nevertheless, that bragging right still belongs to Efemia Chela, who did it at
the unbelievable age of 21. I know the army of young Nigerian writers who know
Arinze are lurking in the shadows, waiting to hack back at their keyboards in
the comments section of my post, “Arinze wrote that story at 18, he wrote it at
18! 18!” Okay, if we ask Efemia, maybe she will just quip, “I wrote chicken at
14!” and get a gigantic bite off her piece of unctuous chicken. One remarkable
similarity between Ifea and Effie is that, their shortlisted stories both have
gay themes, bold and insightful takes on sexuality by very young Africans. On a
records note, Arinze is the youngest Nigerian writer to get nominated for the
Caine prize, knocking off Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie from her fifteen year record
–she was shortlisted for the Caine prize in 2002 at the age of 25. Adichie coincidentally
facilitated Arinze at the 2013 Farafina workshop. Little did she know that, Arinze
would one day break her, “youngest Nigerian to make the Caine shortlist” record.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The number of Nigerian writers in this
world surpasses the population of Nigeria by a large margin. If you shoot a
stone in a Lagos market, it will most probably land on a writer’s head. He/she will hurl Shakespearean insults at you and describe your own head in the
biggest of grammars, “your obfuscated and wretched cranium void of intelligible
grey matter. Why did you shooting my head?” (I nobe Falz). Three of such
fine Nigerian writers invaded the Caine prize top five this year like a swarm
of locusts, grrr-grrr-waah-waah and almost transformed the thing into the Caine
prize for Nigerian writing. Still, as impressive as it may seem, 2017 isn’t the
year with the highest number of Nigerians. The real year of Nigeria invasion
will always be 2013. That year, four Nigerian writers annexed the Caine prize
shortlist like the British government annexed Nigeria–Tope Folarin, Aboubakar
Adam Ibrahim, Chinelo Okparanta and Elnathan John. Even the fifth shortlisted
writer, Pede Hollist, who is Sierra Leonean was rumoured to have Yoruba
ancestry. When I met Prof in Ghana in 2015 I asked him,</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

Nigerian bookworms were shortlisted for the Caine prize in 2013, so this year’s
three is another almost that falls off the 2013 radar. Nonetheless, it is still
extraordinary. Ghanaian Caine prize judge, Nii Ayikwei Parks even joked about
them on twitter, “No doubt your Jollof rice can’t compete, bookworms!” Jeez,
“Thank God I’m not a Nigerians”.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It seems all the feats that happened
on the Caine prize shortlist this year are unintentional “almost attempts” to
topple the record feats of the past years. They somehow fall inches short off
the mark every time. It reminds me of a line in the Lauryn Hill song, “Lost ones”
which goes, “everything you did has already been done”. Well, almost done, in a
year which I call , “the almost year at the Caine”.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The old man walks towards my
colleague E and says, “Err, I just disembarked from the flight and my bag
didn’t come out of the conveyor belt. This one here looks like my bag but it
isn’t”. E asks for his luggage tag and he produces it. E checks and says, “The
name and tag numbers on both the luggage tag and your bag match. Pa, it is your bag”. “No, it is not”. E proposes that, they both go to the airline office to
check the contents of the bag. The old man removes stuff, “Hey, they are my
things oh but this is not my bag.” “How come?” E wonders. “I checked in a pink
bag but this is a red bag though my things are in it. I’m telling you, it is
not mine, your airline changed my bag!” </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The
US has imposed an electronics ban on nine carriers; Qatar Airways, Emirates
Airways, Turkish Airlines, EgyptAir, Etihad Airlines, Kuwait Airways, Royal Air
Maroc, Royal Jordanian Airlines and Saudi Airlines from ten different airports
around the world. The ban affects direct flights from eight countries in North
Africa and the Middle East to the US. The "electronics ban" means
passengers have to check in devices which are bigger than smartphones like
tablets, cameras and of course laptops!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The
White House press secretary, Sean Spicer declared during his daily briefing two
weeks ago that, terrorists are constantly trying to target commercial aviation
especially US bound flights. UK has announced it will implement a similar
electronics ban on certain flights. US intelligence agencies have evidence that
some terrorist groups have successfully found ways to implant sophisticated
explosive devices into laptops which can evade airport security. One such
laptop bomb blew a hole in the body of a Somali Daallo Airlines passenger plane
before it reached cruising speed in February but did not down the aircraft. The
suspected bomber was blown out of the plane and two people aboard were injured.
The plane successfully returned to the airport in Mogadishu.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The
electronics ban which started on April 1st will hit Dubai hardest because it
has the world's busiest airport. The big three Gulf carriers, Emirates, Etihad
and Qatar have particularly tough times ahead. Emirates is scrambling to figure
out the rules and ease the headache on travellers by letting them keep their
electronic devices for the first leg of their US journey. Qatar Airways is
going around the ban in its own way by offering loaner laptops for free to
business class passengers at the boarding gate. As for economy class
passengers, who won't receive loaner laptops, they might just start
experiencing a resurgence of "reading a book on board a plane,"
again, if the in-flight entertainment is not great or absent, especially during
long haul flights.</span></div>

I receive daily updates from CNN’s
Quest Means Business daily newsletter. So two days ago, I read this email from
Richard Quest and the QMB team…As I am traveling the world, it seems
appropriate to hear directly from you. So – pithy and short – tell me what the US
election means to you, your business, and your part of the world. I will
include extracts from the best throughout the rest of the week. You can choose
to be quasi anonymous, ‘Debbie from Dakar’ or totally without name! Email me
direct at Richard.Quest@cnn.com. Yes, they really do come to my Blackberry –
and I can enjoy reading and editing them as I travel Asia. Let me hear from you…(I
scribbled my thoughts below in one hour and sent the email to Richard Quest yesterday).</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The election of Donald J Trump
was the crowning moment in a year of very unexpected moments. First and
foremost, the English Premier League Leicestered, the Nobel Prize for
Literature Bob Dylaned and politically, UK Brexited. But none of those compare
to the biggest story of the year, the US Trumped bigly! Well, also portraying
that “you can use the word “bigly” consistently and become president of the United
States” in the words of Efemia Chela. Trump’s breaking of all the political,
ethical and moral rules yet still making it to the top of American politics raised
serious questions about everything I was taught to believe as a child. It was a
vote which South African novelist, Zukiswa Wanner simply described as “Insanity
Trumps Reason”.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
My country, Cameroon has had the
same resident president, Paul Biya for 34 years now, since 1982, half a dozen years
before I was even born, so Donald Trump is the sixth US president he's lived
through in office. Our numerous problems have made me yearn for real change in
power for most of my life, which has not been forthcoming because even peaceful
protests are confronted with the bullet and our attempts at the ballot have
been futile because they are constantly rigged to our contempt. So when I see
the American people electing Trump for a change, it makes me wonder how privileged
they are and how comfortable they are to easily choose anybody for a change,
even a clown.</div>

#The Wait for today’s newsletter.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The email came in just before midnight, when
I was asleep. Some wicked mosquitoes woke me up at 2.00AM and I couldn't go back to bed. I remembered the newsletter and checked my
smartphone. Uh! An excerpt of my piece, chosen by Richard Quest and his team
and featured on CNN’s Quest Means Business daily newsletter! And the longest
extract of them all. The others were creative and interesting too…But those guys murdered my name oh! <br />

<span lang="FR-CM" style="mso-ansi-language: FR-CM;">Deux semaines! Que petit Eseka est
devenu tristement celebre. </span>You'd been writing about a classic Rond point
traffic jam monster and the train passes in the scene. Your friend reads it and
starts evocations about his youthful days in Douala, when the train used to
halt to transport people to different neighbourhoods. Your lawyer classmate
reads the scene and tells you, describe the train some more, the type, colour,
how it looks etc. Another reader classmate feeds you pics and googled info of
all types of the CAMRAIL locomotives. When you just finish reworking the scene,
last Friday happened. A few graphic pics of the dead sends you fleeing FB for
one week. You can't stand the sight, you pray nobody tags you. You scratch your
head and wonder if you should have even included the train in your traffic jam
piece. You cannot imagine the pain the affected families are going through. You
also try not to focus on the rubbish your country's authorities said on the
media. Worst of all, you live in a Douala neighourhood where trains pass
through to Ndokoti everyday. You now observe them pass with a weird feeling.
You remember how Gabriel Garcia Marquez described the old locomotive in
"One hundred years of Solitude...It's like a kitchen, pulling a village
behind it". Ours mistakenly dropped its "village" into the
village of Eseka and left it there.</div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">European aerospace giant Airbus has quietly lifted the
curtain on an ambitious Silicon Valley project called Vahana. It's a pilotless
passenger aircraft that aims to someday add a vertical component to your
commute. Think of Uber-like air taxis that can beat the traffic. Airbus
recently posted its first conceptual renderings on a Medium blog. The drawings
depict a helicopter-like craft that can take off and land vertically. There's
room for a passenger under a canopy that retracts like a motorcycle helmet
visor. Take a quick glance.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The conceptual design still looks science fiction like doesn't it? Like a modern mini version of Morpheus' hovercraft, Nebuchanezzar from "The Matrix" or one of those sci fi movies with futuristic small model airplanes. I hope it gets built pretty soon, so I can always board one on my way to work here in Cameroon and beat our eternal Douala traffic jams. Em, Vahana in Cameroon? Seriously! Lol.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
During the 2016 Bloggers forum here
in Douala, I was honoured to be one of the panelists. Towards the end of the
event, someone met me and introduced himself as Touembou. He told me he works at the
control tower at the Douala airport as an air traffic controller. He said he’d
been impressed by my Question and answer session with the event moderator, Carol and to find an aviation blogger who'd just won Ethiopian Airlines' award at the event. His colleagues were working on starting Africa's first air traffic control
website soon. I said I was impressed and would write about it. We exchanged contacts and started communicating. I was
keen on learning about what they do at the control tower, since that’s a part of
the airport I’ve never been to and know very little about. (I'm usually glued to the check in desks, boarding gates, arrival hall.) He
then invited me to their fitness walk around Douala on Saturday, October 15<sup>th</sup>
2016 to mark the beginning of activities for the International Day of the Air traffic controller on October 20<sup>th</sup>. So they’ve also got their own day too! Okay, Touembou explained to me that, the purpose of their day and new website is to
throw more light on their profession and share aviation opportunities, so that soceity will have greater awareness about them. Aviation is
growing rapidly in Africa and more and more aviation workers will be needed in all sectors in
the next couple of years but people aren't getting into it very much. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Key points: The control tower is that tall ice cream cone shaped part of an airfield from which air traffic is controlled and observed physically and by radar. Only well trained air traffic controllers (ATCs) control and observe air traffic at the control tower here at the Douala airport and generally around the world. However, the ATCs also receive technical support from other professionals like meteorologists who provide accurate weather forecasts and
technicians of the electronic department. Have you ever landed at any airport at night and seen the runway
all lit up in a line like glow, such that the darkness doesn’t impede the
pilots from landing safely? Yes, that’s just part of the electronic department's job. The ATCs are all trained at an aviation school in Niger
called ASECNA. The school also trains meteorologists and technicians of the electronic department. Schooling at ASECNA is quite an expensive affair, just like any other aviation training.<br />
<br />
But due to the fact that
aviation organisations around the world want to encourage talented young Africans to benefit from free training
and a subsequent career in aviation, schools like ASECNA launch competitive examinations from time to time, where they choose the best candidates who travel to Niger and study for three years on a scholarship. The minimum educational background required to write the exam is two years of university experience, preferably with an empasis on Mathematics. Candidates are tested in Maths, Physics, English and French in the ASECNA competitive exam. Successful candidates then go on to study in Niger and are employed immediately upon graduation. Their exam dates are not fixed,
so interested persons need some inside updates from an ATC working on the field. There's some good news because they just launched that much needed Africa's first ATC website to update the world about their activities. Check it out below, together with a pic of a few of the Douala ATCs and other aviation professionals, before our fitness walk around Douala some days ago.<br />

@Tayo. The good news is a third terminal is going to be built, so hopefully there'll be no leaking roofs and buckets gathering water in that one!Writerphilichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02360148860695031612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796387443997728179.post-89533701280697956692016-09-25T21:55:00.002-07:002016-10-02T19:32:31.398-07:00Promotional fares on Ethiopian Airlines<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
You receive a message from
Monique Yemeli of Fabafriq magazine that you write for, that you have won the
Ethiopian Airlines Award for most consistent blogger. You are happy after
waiting for so long for the announcement. Your Fabafriq boss Adeline Sede had told you all
during the 70<sup>th</sup> “birthday” hangout with ET that the prize is
actually a two way ticket to any African country. So you head to the ET office in
Bonanjo, the next Monday afternoon to meet the Area manager of ET Cameroon, Mr. Tesfaye
Girma to talk about it. His assistant ushers you into boss’s ornate office. You
greet him. Mr. Tesfaye looks up from his desk, peers at you through his reading glasses and responds to your greeting calmly.<br />
<br />
He asks
you what you want. You tell him you heard from Adeline Sede, that you won the ET best
blogger award. He smiles and congratulates you. You say thank you. He asks you
where you want to go. You halt and almost scratch your head. “Anywhere?” You ask,
wondering. “Yes, just tell me where you want to go and we’ll issue your ticket.”
You think about the 54 countries in Africa in an instant and you can’t decide. But you’ve
always loved the Indian Ocean African island nations with their exquisite beaches and
colourful waters, so you just instinctively say, “Seychelles?”<br />
<br />
Mr. Tesfaye
smiles again and asks, “You want to go to Seychelles?” “Yes”. He nods. “Seychelles
is really nice and its visa free, so no problems trying to obtain a visa.” “Okay”. “But it’s a little expensive. So maybe you need to carry along your own
food which you’ll eat. The food is quite different from the food here too.”
Oops, when the country manager of ET, who is surely loaded, starts warning you that a
country is expensive, maybe you need to think otherwise. “Do you have a family?”
he asks. You think it’s a tricky question because he wants to know if you’ll
travel with a “loved one(s)”. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Sure, you have a family that
nurtured you. But you reason that, the word “family” means a wife and children
along those aviation lines. You remember that ET had said, “the best blogger will
win a ticket to an African country” and not “the best blogger and his family will
win a…” You think of a witty answer to his question. “I’m not married but I have
a girlfriend. No kids.” He tells you it’s best to travel the world when you’ve not
had a family yet. And it’s not very cool when there is a wife and kids, and you take off, so now
is the time to travel!<br />
<br />
He asks if you have a passport. You tell him you have
one and you even brought it. He laughs as if to say “this guy is serious about
his travelling oh”. He photocopies your passport's biometric page and hands it back to you. You tell
him you need to take a holiday and plan the trip. He tells you to take your
time and choose a nation and travel dates. When you’re ready, they’ll issue your ticket. You tell him thanks and leave.<br />
<br />
You remember that you had not
discussed anything about accommodation with Mr. Tesfaye. Oops. You tell yourself
you’ll ask him next time you’re there to get the ticket. You go to work and
google up “top holiday destinations in Africa”. You see ocean options like your Seychelles, Maldives, Mauritius, Cape Verde and safari countries like
Kenya, Namibia and Botswana. You discard the safari nations because you’re from a “forest
country” and you’ve already visited the Kakum National Park in Ghana. You’ve seen
lots of forests already. A lion or crocodile could even bite off your head in Botswana! No
way. You relish the colourful pics of the Indian ocean nations, so you start checking immigration
procedures from the Swissport Travel Information Manual (TIM).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Seychelles is visa free and you
can obtain a visitor’s permit on arrival for a max stay of three
months. But as you read the TIM further, you see a line that says you need to present
150 dollars a day for all the days you spend there to immigration, so 20 days
equals 3000 dollars in cash, that's about 1.5 million francs. And it is just what you’ll declare to
immigration, excluding food, accommodation, transportation –pricey boat rides
among the different Seychellois islands of La Digue, Desroches, Praslin, Bird etc.<br />
<br />
You shake your head no. You check other aforementioned island nations. and they
seem pricey too. You express your worry to Adeline that your beloved Seychelles
may be expensive. She just goes, “I’ve been there, it’s not a little expensive,
it’s very expensive! Just one boat ride to 3 different islands cost 300
dollars! And the hotel bills are really high. Imagine a place where Prince
William and Kate Middleton go to for holidays. Everybody there will hike up
prices... But the place is really beautiful!" Your colleague Wasu, tells you its because it's so lovely, that's why it attracts so many people including really rich people and even celebrities.<br />
<br />
She gives you a pep talk about going there as an eco-tourist and doing AIR
BNP lodging. You look at her and just go, “Maybe I’ll only go there when I become
a boss like you someday”. She laughs so hard. Next, she proposes beautiful Gambia.
You shake your head no because you’ve read articles about its poor human rights
record and that, it is the most difficult country in the world for journalists
to work in and that, sometimes president Jammeh can be…weird! She proposes the
archipelago of Zanzibar in Tanzania, saying it’s also really beautiful. You are
already in refusal mode, so you also say no to that and you don't even know the reason why.<br />
<br />
"Kenya? Great safari there. Botswana?” Hmmm, you're thinking about those lions eating you up all over again! Ok, you can easily travel to Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria and Zambia in the near future for writing stuff, literary festivals etc. “What about Ethiopia? Not just Addis. Kuriftu, Hawassa or another place?” You
say, you've done two night stops in Addis, you don’t want to go there for this one
again, somewhere completely new”. Simo Jandie proposes north Africa, Magrebian Sahara land. You say no because you don't like north Africa, although you know Tunisia is beautiful and prehistoric Egypt is legendary with its pyramids. Boss lady digresses to another discussion and you keep talking. You're still undecided.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
You suddenly remember your dear cousin, Joseph
Asong Anu who is a missionary and who’s studied and worked all over southern
Africa. You ask his suggestion for an affordable beach country. He types
back on Whatsapp, “Tanzania would be a good try. It is a regular destination
for Nigerians, so I am sure Visa may not be a big deal. The touristic element
there is simply awesome especially if you have a contact to show you around. Not
to mention if you get a chance to hit Zanzibar…Life is evidently cheaper in
Tanzania compared to several other countries in the region. Cape Town in South
Africa could be considered but Visa could be an issue, plus in country expenses
would obviously be higher.”<br />
<br />
Okay, you'll grapple about Tanzania later. But South Africa! No! You
recall how the lady at the SA high commission in Yaounde spoke to you harshly
and abandoned you in 2014, when you wanted to apply for a South African transit
visa, for only a two hour transit period in Jo'burg when you intended travelling
to Mutare in Zimbabwe for a writers workshop. Mere transit visa! You imagine the procedure of getting a real
SA visa this time and you shake your head no, once again.<br />
<br />
On the contrary, Tanzania
especially Zanzibar sounded like Aaliyah’s music to your ears after missionary
Joe’s message. You wonder why you had rejected it when Adeline proposed it as you
check the TIM again for more info. You read that you can obtain a visa on
arrival for between 50-100 dollars. You google up Zanzibar pics online and they’re
amazing. Persian empire feel, centuries old castles feel, diverse people feel, stunning beaches! <br />
<br />
You tell your engineer friend who works for ET, Rahmet, the next day while you’re both working on the ramp and Rahmet informs you he’s been there. The
visa cost him only 40 dollars. Oh! Cheap! You exclaim. He tells you the standard of living is like that of Cameroon. You nod. He tells you that it’s got so much iconic infrastructure
and wonderful beaches. It sounds like what you’ve just read and seen online. You concur. And then
you tell him, “My friend, I’ve finally made my choice. I’m going to Zanzibar!” “Oh,
man, you will certainly enjoy it, congrats for your ET blogging award once again." </div>

Who is Imbolo Mbue? What does it mean to write a million dollar novel? How does the diaspora influence her writing? I explore these questions and review "Emke", Imbolo's first published short story in the following review.<br />
<br />
When I first heard that a US-based writer from Cameroon, Imbolo Mbue,
had signed a whooping book deal of one million dollars for her
manuscript, <em>The Longings of Jende Jonga</em> (the title was later changed to <em>Behold the Dreamers</em>)
at the 2014 Frankfurt Book Fair with the prestigious publisher Random
House, I was really elated. For a first-time novelist from the coastal
resort city of Limbe in Cameroon— which is not as big as Nigeria or
South Africa on the African literary map— to sign such a mammoth book
contract was quite an achievement two years ago and will always be.
<br />
I tried to google her name since I’d never heard about her and found
almost nothing. This made her book deal more stunning and, to a certain
extent, even mythical. Up to the age of 32, she had no publishing
history, whether in print or online, which one could jump on and read as
an aperitif for the upcoming novel. She had no blog and no personal
profile on any social media platform. (I later learnt she has a phobia
for social media). Dibussi Tande recounts, in a story in an article some
months ago, that he couldn’t even find a single photo of her online. So
who was this mythical Harper Lee-like million-dollar author from
Cameroon called Imbolo Mbue? She was so unknown in the literary circles
both in America and Africa that acclaimed writer, Jacqueline Woodson,
started her appraisal of Imbolo’s hitherto unknown talent thus, “Who is
this Imbolo Mbue and where has she been hiding? Her writing is
startlingly beautiful, thoughtful, and both timely and timeless.”<br />
<br />
Well, maybe Imbolo wouldn’t even have ever written any fiction. In
fact, she has said that, even though she has been a lifelong reader, she
had never considered writing until she read the brilliant novel, <em>Song of Solomon</em>,
by the acclaimed 1993 Nobel Prize winning American novelist, Toni
Morrison. She loved the novel so much that she picked up her pen after
she finished it and became a wordsmith. Anxious readers and new Imbolo
fans finally got a taste of her craftsmanship in her first published
short story, “Emke” available for free online on the <em>Threepenny Review</em>.
The story is set in America as is her just published debut novel. I
think Imbolo will be writing a lot of immigrant literature. This will
probably not be very god news for us Cameroonians as we would love to
read her Cameroon set stories and ponder on her musings of her
motherland.<br />
<blockquote>

America and Africa that acclaimed writer, Jacqueline Woodson, started
her appraisal of Imbolo’s hitherto unknown talent thus, “Who is this
Imbolo Mbue and where has she been hiding? Her writing is startlingly
beautiful, thoughtful, and both timely and timeless.”</blockquote>
Imbolo travelled to the US in 1998 when she was sixteen just like
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Chinelo Okparanta, and NoViolet Bulawayo, who
also left for America as teenagers. She studied at Rutgers and Columbia
Universities. So these questions will always linger in my mind: How does
the diaspora influence Imbolo’s writing? Does she write “to get back to
Africa”, like Tope Folarin once said on BBC when he was asked why he
writes? Or does her work reflect that state of flux between America and
Africa like Jhumpa Lahiri’s short story collection, <em>Interpreter</em> <em>of Maladies</em>,
which fluctuates between America and India? Here is what Jonathan
Franzen writes of the author: “Imbolo Mbue would be a formidable
storyteller anywhere, in any language. It’s our good luck that she and
her stories are American”.<br />
<br />
Her first published work is a short story titled “Emke”, whose title
is derived from the main character’s name. It relates the life of an
African man, probably Sierra Leonean, who is extremely ill and, in the
writer’s words, has “a disease of the blood” in a US hospital. This may
probably be leukemia. He suffers from nightmares but maintains hope, “a
frail optimism”, and then finally dies. The story is so real it comes
alive on the page. It has the ability to evoke memories of your own
deceased loved ones. Imbolo knows about dying, rather she knows how to
write about dying. Her imagery on the subject is so vivid that you dread
your own dying day. At some point, Imbolo presents her readers with a
taste of Ben Okri-like magical realism:<br />
<em>After he had toweled off, he would tell us about the nightmares.
In one, he was given a glass of blood by a hand without a body, and
asked by a baby’s voice to drink it all in one sip. In another, he saw
his head on a tray, laughing at him.</em><br />
<br />
There are various issues highlighted in “Emke” such as illness,
healthcare, politics, treatment, death and burial. Imbolo’s characters,
though very few in this story, are well rounded. Her writing style is
simple, clear, and very concise. Her economy of words is remarkable,
especially in this tale. It is such that I describe “Emke” as a
“short-short story”. The piece is so terse. While you are in the groove
with its pretty lines, it just stops and is simply over! Poet Mp Mbutoh
writes about its brevity thus, “<em>But perhaps its briefness makes it all the more memorable, just like an interrupted French kiss</em>!”<br />
At just 1400 words, it is not eligible for a Caine Prize submission!<br />
<blockquote>
Questions will always linger in my mind: How does the
diaspora influence Imbolo’s writing? Does she write “to get back to
Africa”, like Tope Folarin once said on BBC when he was asked why he
writes? Or does her work reflect that state of flux between America and
Africa like Jhumpa Lahiri’s short story collection, <em>Interpreter of Maladies</em>, which fluctuates between America and India?</blockquote>
Imbolo’s language is beautifully unique and is at times reminiscent
of Toni Morrison because of the way she pays attention to language,
imagery, and poetry in her writing. Below are some excerpts,<br />
<em>He knew that blood is the river of the body and with his being
contaminated, his body might soon shrivel up and die like plants on a
dried river bank…</em> <em>His disease sat between us, like an August
forest fire, burning away. With every glance at him my heart enlarged,
overcome at the beauty he was even in his state of ugliness…</em> <em>Emke
lay frozen with a grin, wearing a suit he would never have chosen for
himself, packed in an ice box for the five-legged journey.</em><br />
Nevertheless, I felt “Emke” was too predictable. I guessed the whole
plot and it didn’t deviate from what I was imagining all through, thus
the element of surprise was missing for me. I wanted Imbolo to take me
to some other place I wasn’t expecting. But the twists and turns weren’t
there. Is it because the story was too short for such explorations?<br />
<br />
Furthermore, I didn’t quite agree with the political views of
Imbolo’s character. Emke’s political utterances didn’t go down well with
me. Take the following excerpt …<em>The talk about the future of Africa
resting on the institution of exemplary democracies amused him. Such
fancy Western ideologies will never take root among our people, he often
said… </em>Why such pessimism? It can take root. Yes, many African
countries have leadership problems and there have been many dismal
failures, but some nations have shown good democratic track records like
Ghana, Tanzania, and Botswana. Nigeria has discarded brutish military
dictatorships for democratic civilian rule for sixteen years now.
Though, I admit, even those good examples still have problems. But then,
is America’s democracy perfect? Also, many western countries have
practiced democracy for about 500 years. Meanwhile many independent
African nations have been practicing democracy for just over fifty
years. They’ll slowly get there.<br />
<br />This other statement caught my attention and I also disagree, <em>What
we need back at home isn’t some absurd imported idea of government but a
chance to live in good health and govern ourselves as we see fit. </em>
<br />
However, “Emke” is overall a solid short story that signals the
arrival of a new sublime literary talent from Cameroon. It is no wonder
that her just published debut novel created a lot of buzz in literary
circles around the world. It is definitely one book that I’m looking
forward to reading in the near future.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">So it's back again, the world's best football league. A fairy
tale happened last season, that "small" team compelled the whole
footballing world to learn how to pronounce their name properly "without
the letter C" and beat the 5000 to 1 odds to win it. They retained the
bulk of their stars except Kante. So can they do it again? "Winning it
this year is harder for us, maybe the odds are 6000 to 1" said Ranieri,
their inspirational manager whom fans quickly nicknamed Godfather! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Maybe that's because of the influx of three high voltage
managers into the EPL to topple him. Serial winner, Antonio Conte, poached
Godfather's Kante to Chelsea. And that's the 2 best things that have happened
at the bridge. In Kante, Conte has brought back Makelele like work ethic to the
midfield that may inspire misfiring Costa whose misses last season were Costly.
And hazardous Eden Hazard who was also simply lost in the mid garden of Eden.
But fans hope the 2 will be back to clinical forms that saw them win it 2 years
ago. I call them the dark horses this year, the surprise package. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Mourinho said way back at the Bridge, way before the sack
that, the theatre of dreams job was his dream job, and years later he got it. I
interpreted the Ibra signing as a feat to inject his rich European league
winning experience into our baby forwards, Martial, Rashford, Lingaard etc and
lead the team too like Cantona did when Giggs and Scholes were baby players.
He's old, but he's still got goals in him. In resigning the Pog as football's
wildest splash cash, we've got another Paul with Scholes like inch perfect
passing to feed the guys upfront to score goals and win the league, which i
think we'll do. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Our enemy noisy neighbours, City were also busy too, sipping
a new Pepsi called Pep, who brought in great talent like Gundogan, and with a
pool of talent there already, they are also very good contenders to win it like
us. No, after us! Klopp's club is finetuning their reconstruction job to
completion, beating Barca 4-0 in pre season. They brought in exciting prospects
like Cameroonian, Joel Matip to aid them finish at the table's tip. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Arsenal football club, rather, Arsenal TV series wasn't busy
in the summer transfers. And with talent there that doesn't match that of it's
competitors, the trophylessness will go on and their fans will keep watching
the Arsenal TV series, Game of thrones for the next season. Maybe Arsene will
just pack his bags and run back to Monaco on foot. I applaud the delightful
twinkle toe football<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>he's injected there
and his money making profit ideology anyway.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I step into a shop in Deido and a
lady at the counter orders something. The cashier woman responds in the Douala
language. The lady shrugs and says in French, "I don't understand Douala!
Je ne suis pas Douala." Cashier insists in French, "But you're in our
land, you need to learn our native language!" The lady's silent minute of
disbelief triggers me to become an impromptu lawyer, "Em, Douala is the
economic capital of Cameroon/Central Africa and that makes it a metropolis, so
there are all sorts of ethnic groups and foreigners, French, Lebanese, Chinese,
Nigerians here." "But it's our land!" She insists. I begin
teasing, a mild feat of irritation, "Technically, it's not your land
anymore because all the rich Bamileke people have bought every piece of
it." "It is our village!" "That one I doubt too, because
history tells me you were all fishermen/women living in the mangrove creeks and
islands. You just migrated here when this whole place was marshland and stole
it from the sea, through repeated land reclamation, so it was nobody's village,
or maybe, the Atlantic ocean's village." Cashier scowls at me, so I think
maybe an insult in Douala is coming, "Vous voulez acheter quoi,
madame!" She turns and asks the lady. I place my right hand over my mouth
and suppress a laugh.</div>

Reader: Stares at my Caine Prize
workshop story and goes, “Wahala Lizard, is he Nigerian?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Abubakar Adam Ibrahim: You mean
Nkiacha? He’s a Nigerian on the other side of the border.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Obi-Young: But you could so
easily be Nigerian. You have our It-ness.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Me: I don’t have a Nigerian face!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Obi-Young: Nigerian face is a
concept that’s up for debate</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Me: Ok, interesting! How do I
have your It-ness? Abeg elaborate.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Obi-Young: I’m not sure how but I
just feel it. Honestly.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Kiprop Kimutai: Your accent is
like a Nigerian’s. You speak like them.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Me: First time I’m hearing that
one. Lol. I don’t know. But we’re neighbours. And I've read Nigerian Literature
much more than Cameroonian Literature.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Akwaeke Emezi: (Pointing at me
with both hands) “You’re a Lagos boy!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Me: Lol. What does that one mean?
Lagos boy?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Merde, why do all these my peeps
think I'm a Nigerian born to Cameroonian parents? Nobe small ting oh</div>

When news reached us in Douala
that ET’s new wide body aircraft, the Airbus A350-XWB will land here on Sunday 17<sup>th</sup>
July, we were elated. I’d blogged about its arrival in Addis Ababa a couple of
days earlier. Here is the link.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Lots of people -journalists,
bloggers and top airport officials were invited to the Douala International Airport to witness the A350 landing and the gala event. I had
to take fellow Camerbloggers across all police check points which was no easy task. By the time I arrived
the boarding gate A32, the plane had already landed. The A350 which came here called
Siemen Mountains was really mountain like. Everything about it was brand new and
glittery too (it is just a three week old plane). The two pilots emerged at the
door to thunderous applause. When the cabin crew finally disembarked, I walked up the
stairs and into the aircraft to feed my eyes and take lots of pictures. Wow, what a sight! Business class looks like King Solomon's palace. I described the plane thus on Facebook…the new Airbus A350-WXB called Siemen
Mountains just...well, spectacularly rubbished the Dreamliner! It's a...high
tech, magnificent flying mansion! Period.<br />

My satirical online essay
"We Need New Caines" inspired a lot of fans and a lot of trouble for
me on social media. I received lots of acclaim (for presenting a compelling
argument. Acclaimed Kenyan literary blogger, James Murua referenced it
extensively on his blog a few days later and Nigerian writer, Basit Jamiu
published his own “Caine-ache” article on Olisa tv and referenced my thoughts).
I also received lots of disdain (for focusing on "foolish" off the
page politics instead of the quality of the story in one writer's words).
Someone asked, "Are you going to deny Serena Williams from playing and
winning yet another grand slam because she's been winning them for so long now?”
I received probably all my marks for humour. (One young brainy Nigerian reader,
Obi-Young cited it as the funniest article in African Lit he had ever read). Pa
Ikhide Ikheloa wrote back, "Too funny, I absolutely enjoyed reading this!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I was even surprised the Caine
people shared it on social media oh! And the anonymous respond to me went, "Thank
you". I was like, "Ah ha, are you thanking me for lambasting your Prize's
recent 2015 shortlist? Lizzy Attree said, "It would generate some discussion"
and Leila Abouleila stated that it would be interesting to see how the Caine
Prize organizers react to it. She even quoted me a line that resonated with her
and said it was worthy of inspiring another essay in her opinion. Em, Mama
Leila, I'm not sure I want to keep causing trouble to the Caine people oh. That
prize has suffered too many lashes of the koboko since you won the very first
one in 2000 already, from accusations of rewarding poverty porn, stereotyping Africa,
child narrators, "only rewarding African writers in the diaspora" and
then me about newness. But one thing's for sure. If I see Segun Afolabi and Namwali
Serpell at a literary event anywhere, I would flee, duck and hide my head in
the sand like an ostrich, though my troublesome small but will forget it’s
exposed to the atmosphere for some spanking with a koboko. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It was on that note that I eagerly
awaited the 2016 winner of the Caine Prize, after being served three new Caines
on the shortlist a few days after I blogged my essay. They were Abdul Adan,
whom I had coincidentally suggested in the essay, hence I became a prophet.
(But hey, I don't intend to make it a profession, so don't come to me for Tope
Folarin like miracles), Zimbabwean Bongani Kona and South African writer,
Lidudumalingani. Lesley Nneka who is an old name and Tope Folarin who is an old
Caine. I was waiting to see if Tope could pull off the "Miracle" of
being the first repeat winner which would have been the "Genesis" of
criticisms aplenty from the newness critics. But the judges weren't porcupines to
fall for that trap. They awarded the prize to a new Caine with the longest name
and made me happy, South African author, Lidudumalingani. Oh my God! What a
name, 15 letters! Wait, have you seen my name, Nkiacha Atemnkeng? My parents
only gave me those two and it’s got a total of 16 letters. Lidudumalingani
stands towering at 15 letters. Just one word. Hmmm. I''ll not like to imagine
the scene of a guy who stutters pronouncing it, Lidududududu-dudu, the guy will
just get angry and call him dudu as if he's a dodo bird, that endangered
species secluded to the island of New Zealand.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<img alt="" class="irc_mut ii3QzPn2o1GU-HwpH6ZlgJaI" height="444" src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS11Oaqohq1ZClzMlPQkUgYbA_SpK68nvoLgdgNnWJfqu9W5gA_eA" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="721" /><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Lidudumalingani! But it's a very
beautiful name oh, which I like very much, with one vowel coming after a
consonant and another vowel coming after another consonant, ceteris peribus.
Therefore vowels intersperse the consonants perfectly, making it an easy-to-read-easy-to-pronounce-swaggish-name,
though it's so long every time I take my eyes off it I just forget it. Whenever
my friends and family who always get their Caine news through me ask, "Ah,
Mr. Writer, so who won that your ten million francs London Prize for African
writers this year?" (I perennially wonder how my Cameroonian folk always
remember the amount of money the prize offers but not the name of the prize
itself. And it’s even the converted amount to Francs CFA for that matter. Not
10.000 pounds which sounds smallish. Ten million francs, that “plenty amount”
sounds sexier because it’s bigger. Who will tell them that with all this Brexit
thing, the ten million francs has already nose-dived to three million francs? Anyway,
I'm usually the one telling them the names of the new Caine stars with a smile,
the easy first names…"Olufemi, NoViolet, Rotimi, Tope, Okwiri, Namwali”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
But this year is different.
Whenever I'm asked “who won?”, I bite my fore finger and think and blink and
shrink and tap my forehead with the forefinger but the name never comes,
rather, in comes in just two syllables, Li..Li..Li..Lidu..Lidu..Then I sigh and
just go, "I can't....Ahhh, it's one black South African guy with a long
name!" Then to punish me more they insist, "But what is his name nah?"
"Didn't you hear me say it's a long name? It's got about 24 letters,
really long, like the great wall of China." That's only when they leave me
alone. Chai, Lidudumalingani! But it's easy and sweet. I don't know why I just
keep forgetting it. The name even sounds like a song to me, it's actually
"singable". Every time I see it online, I always pronounce it
beginning with a low pitch and I increase my cadence until it ends with a high
pitch and high note in my gullet. I think Ladysmith Black Mambazo can record
their next hit just by singing his name only on an entire song, Lilililili
(Azumbawei) Lilililili-dududumalinganinininini. Those old, sweet hoarse voiced
men with legendary voices. But Paul Simon won’t be able to pronounce the
name-song. He’ll just dub the single, “Memories we lost”, since “Graceland” is
just a memory now, though a legendary memory which cannot be lost. Lidudumalingani!
Easy peasy. It is not like those Russian names with tricky consonants made out
of tin that hurt and wound the roof of your mouth when you try to pronounce
them -Rozhdestvenskij, Siroezhkin, Ryszard Kapuściński. What the hell is that?
Lidudumalingani. See? It is very swaggish.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Lidudumalingani is the third
South African Caine Prize winner after Mary Watson in 2006 with
"Jungfrau" and Henrietta Rose-Innes with "Poison" in 2008.
He's actually the first black and first male South African author to win the
Caine Prize. Have I mentioned the longest name to win the Caine already? Ah,
yes. His winning entry is titled, "Memories we lost". Oh, what a
story! It's been a long time since I loved a Caine Prize winning story like
this, maybe as way back as 2009, EC Osundu's "Waiting".
"Memories We Lost" tells in a very simple narrative voice the
emotionally charged story of a girl who acts as protector of her sister, whose
serious mental-health problems cause consternation in a South African village.
Her situation deteriorates as her care is entrusted to Nkunzi, a local man who
employs traditional techniques to rid people of their demons. Lidu writes the
story with the "ignorant voice" of a narrator whose sister is suffering
from schizophrenia. She calls it "this thing" and does not initially
know what it is. He describes without snubbing, the beliefs and attitudes the
rural folk around the characters have towards mental illness and builds the
protagonists well with her quest for her sister's mental problem and a
solution, evoking emotions of sympathy.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The people around the two girls
do not care much. They only invent theories about what is wrong with the sick
girl and what to do with her. It reminds me of my people here though not as
dramatic and diverse as in the story. We just bundle every case of mental
illness into one category "madness...that man/woman dey craze!"
Period. The climax of the story is when the healing ritual fails and the
schizophrenic girl has to go through baking, an unfathomable process you would
not even begin to imagine exists. But they escape into the wild and the story
ends or "doesn't end" with suspense hanging all over. What if they
are recognized and caught? Another interesting thing I remarked about the story
was Lidu's wonderful description of scenery. He paints such vivid images in the
piece, especially of South Africa's rural landscapes, you would not even begin
to wonder why he's a film maker. It influenced his work to his narrative
advantage. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The subject matter is timely too.
I'd read a review which applauded the Nigerian TV series, "Tinsel"
last year but accused them of not exploring mental illness fully, only skimming
the surface, by portraying the character, Angela as a "mentally unstable woman"
but not really reaching any depth with Angela's mental instability. The
reviewer yearned for more African stories exploring mental illness. And then
came, "Memories we lost". Lidu's story is a very good write up which
paves the way on that topic. But I had the impression his "ignorant
voice" of the child/teenager narrator and the beliefs and attitudes of the
rural people towards it limits the depths he could have gone with the
schizophrenia topic. What if the narrator was a well-informed person on the
issue like a medical doctor or nurse telling the story about her mentally ill
sister in Cape Town? We would have learnt a lot more about the sick girl and
her predicament because most of the rural beliefs and practices would have been
absent. But then, our South African author guy, em, what’s his name again? Em,
I’ve forgotten again. Okay yes, Lidudumalingani pictured it exactly the way he
did. </div>

The A350 XWB’s Xtra wide fuselage
contributes to higher levels of efficiency. The new “Airspace by
Airbus” cabin concept – which is being incorporated on the A350 XWB Family –
creates the perfect space for maximizing passenger well-being.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
The A350 XWB features the latest
aerodynamic design, carbon-fibre fuselage and wings, plus new fuel-efficient
Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These
latest innovative technologies translate into unrivalled levels of operational
efficiency, with a twenty five percent reduction in fuel burn and emissions that can save the airline up to two million dollars of fuel.<br />
<br />
Its revolutionary airframe and simplified systems have optimized maintenance costs and reliability, and its engines have the lowest carbon dioxide CO2 emissions of any in the wide body category, thus transforming it into a game changer eco-friendly airplane. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Altogether, Ethiopian Airlines
has ordered fourteen of the eco-friendly Airbus A350 XWBs. This first aircraft which just landed in Addis today is intended to fly the Lagos-Dubai route. The carrier will deploy the fourteen A350 aircrafts on its expanding route networks. To date, Airbus has recorded a total of 802 firm orders for the A350 XWB
from 42 customers worldwide.<br />
