DULCE NEW VIDEO: WOPALILO BY MICHAEL KIESSOU FT C'PRIME

Hope Music Group's solo act Michael Kiessou was ready to pack it all up a few weeks ago following a release on his personal Facebook profile which saw him thank his fans for the support so far and informing them there would be no more music from him. According to his label, they informed the public that due to personal threats on his life Michael Kiessou had come to the conclusion that he could no longer go on but however they urged him to understand his new found position in the Cameroon entertainment scene and to move on in his music career.

So all was wiped off, Facebook post deleted and the drama forgotten! With all concluded, Michael Kiessou was back on track to promote his latest video to Wopalilo a collaboration with aMusic's C'Prime which sees him continue in his usual bensikin genre. The video shot by Adah Akenji released 2 days ago is available to watch below.

DULCE FAB INITIATIVE: 237 VA TCHOP BH

In a moment of conviviality and togetherness, Twitter237 came together to show solidarity to our armed forces in the north area fighting terrorism. 

Before BH became synonymous with Boko Haram, it first was and still is an unforgettable moment in every Cameroon child's life. BH or Beignets Haricots is our childhood, it is a very integral part of our lives and mamis beignets in the quartiers and schools are long loved for their contribution to our satisfaction.

Today at about 3pm Cameroon time, images, drawings, postings were shared online by young Cameroonians at home and abroad and including us depicting our stance and tolerance to BH and terrorism with the hashtag #237VaTchopBH.

It was certainly a great initiative and campaign during this very threatening and disturbing times. DC would like to take this opportunity to also thank the soldiers who are willing to lay down their lives for us so we can be safe. Thank you *hand to the side of the face* corporal salute.

Some postings from the initiative below...

Simultaneously, our Lions kick off their CAN 2015 experience tonight against Mali in Equatorial Guinea. We wish them well.

THE BUZZ ON DUC-Z' UPCOMING VIDEO FOR JE VEUX ME MARIER...

On Friday last week, following a few images shared on Duc-z' private Facebook Page, we alongside other bloggers reported that the star had gotten hitched. Social media was subsequently left buzzing with re-shares of the images of the wedding scenes with many also congratulating the "Je Ne Donne Pas Le Lait" singer.

However, contrary to what we thought and according to sources, the images were infact a staged wedding for his upcoming video of the song entitled "Je Veux Me Marier" shot by Regis Talla.

Though we were all fooled, we certainly must hand it over to Duc-z for the originality of his buzz!! That's how you get people talking! We certainly cannot wait to see the clip.

THE HUGE CONTRAST BETWEEN THE NIGERIAN AND CAMEROONIAN CELEB POWER

Something we have always found rather amusing and quite sad at the same time is the response that Cameroonian 'celebs' get from the Cameroonian crowd on social media especially.

Whilst it seems the Nigerian online community are very receptive of their stars (albeit they do voice their opinions when they need to) with many likes and comments and retweets on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, the Cameroon stars on the otherhand are even lucky if they get just a fraction of such response. What a big shame isn't it?

Take for example the below image with a simple caption posted by Davido on his Facebook Page...in just over 30 minutes see how many likes and comments the dude received...

Oh yes there is the excuse that there are millions more Nigerians than Cameroonians...but we have less stars than Nigeria so why not all join forces and back what we have than create camps and gangs? Ah the other excuse is that Cameroon has no celeb culture...but who creates or should create that culture? Are we saying there is not even 1 or 2 or a handful that can be deemed celebs? Are we saying that Cameroon is that backward? Are we saying there are no talents in Cameroon worth 'bigging' up always? Did Nigeria not create theirs themselves?

If you want to see the majority of Cameroonians react on social media, just start a negative thread that brings down a personality who is currently trending and watch how they jump at it with retweets, comments and replies. But post something positive and the majority would not bat an eyelid. The je m'en fous attitude has got to go.

Wake up Cameroon. Wake up Cameroonians...
