My people of the same struggle, accept warm
greetings from your highly controversial writer and social activist. It has
been a highly tumultuous year for the English Cameroon Entertainment Industry,
one punctuated with bits and pieces of intellectual brilliance in various
forms. It is the end of another year, but hopefully not the end of the
entertainment vision.
To recap the highlights of the year would
not play justice to the cause, but it would be of utmost necessity if praise
and rejection were handed down to all those who deserved it. Allow me begin
with the chaotic individuals, through whom their actions have set us back
hundreds of years, by their refusal to become professionals.
When I see the level of incompetence
dwelling in their very amateuristic tendencies, I cannot help but pray that
they see the light of day as the New Year unveils itself. As a comedian, I have
been amazed and appalled by the two-ended nature of quality comedy in
Anglophone Cameroon. Everyone wants to do everything, and anyone wants to do
anything. This makes me puke with vile disdain for their utter disregard for
professionalism.
However, some entertainers have made me realise
there is hope, that there is a speck of optimism that hovers over the dark
cloud that rains hundreds of amateurs on the entertainment horizon. They have
managed to brave through the regular myths of the disbelief in hard work and
have let the world know that something good can emanate from Anglophone
Cameroon. I mention names like Freddash
Model Agency, Jovi LeMonstre, Gold
Age Productions, Mumak, February 16th, Red Eye Entertainment, just to name but
these.
It is my prayer and hope that as the New Year
unfolds, we will have more professional entertainers who will let their work of
arts trickle down the very masses who ought to be involved in the very
activities they promote, and that they would let the rest of Africa know we can
achieve what we have always longed for. That would be the very epitome of
quality entertainment in English Cameroon. Merry Christmas and a prosperous new
year to all.
Great one! Very well written!Please do like our page on Facebook together we can change our showbiz industry. The complacence of Cameroonian artists/entertainers that tend to NEVER shoot for excellence, perfection or what have you, is the main reason we have not made any major progress showbiz wise. Therefore, we felt the need to create a platform where Cameroonian music and entertainment can be critiqued and reviewed by Cameroonian consumers of all works of life, as well of consumers of different nationalities. Nowadays we ought to think more on the global level, rather than local level. Our music/entertainment must attract all NOT just Cameroonians, like some of our artist seem to think.
