BBCL  TIPTOPSTRARS

A society where women boldly think that self-reliance and entrepreneurship are a concrete answer to unemployment and a leeway towards a much-needed socio-economic development is a society that is ready to rail into modernity.

If many more young Cameroonian women are going to adopt, express and follow up this vision, just like the Bold and Beautiful Camer Ladies have done, then, there is the likelihood that the country’s youth development challenges may soon be history. The BBCL as the group of young entrepreneurs is simply called have visualized a Cameroonian society where women will emerge as examples to emulate by thriving in a soothing economic environment they themselves would have created for the betterment of all.

If lifting the prize of Best Artist/Performer in the 2009 Campus Celebrity song contest (with FBI-Generation song group) was an early sign of Inspi’s eventual music prowess, writing songs at the tender age of 11 and even showing interest in the art at 8 were bigger indications. Unlike scores of other gifted young people, the Legendary Boy (as the Cameroonian Hip-Hop singer is also fondly called) found his passion so early and did not hesitate to explore it.

The December 15, 2015 release, It’s Alright (a single) is a great revelation of a musical skill represented in voice, melody, beats, etc. According to the singer’s producers, the release of the 3.56-minutes-long track is just preceeding that of other singles that will culminante in an end-of-2015 album.

Inspi has performed at several public events in some of the major towns in English-speaking Cameroon, including Buea, Bamenda and Kumbo. The 22-yaer-old singer whose manager, Princewill "BAO2" is said to be his classmate has been on stage with some renowned young Cameroonian musicians, including award-winning Achale and Gasha. He is currently being propelled by the White Gold Entertainment label. Watch out for this young and talented singer !

New: MMPR-run fashion store poised to colour clients’ wardrobes

Nothing is so magically (positive) effective in public relations like men and women appearing in extraordinarily elegant outfit. Dressing up elegantly by itself is public relations. One’s appealing look is already a great distance covered in the rest of business they are set to do with whoever their client is going to be. This is how ModeMaison PR thinks.

If everyone was going to be PR in whatever thing they do, the Douala-based communication/marketing and branding agency would not mind, after all, packaging so that it looks good is MMPR’s (its official acronym) prime mission. And, if by this standard, everyone was going to adopt a pleasant dressing attitude, the up-and-coming PR outfit would have achieved its major goal

Chill out with Chillen Music TV!

chillenTv tiptopstars

The tale of how it is so heart-warming to breathe the soothing air of a marked achievement, in the entertainment sector, for a part of Cameroon hitherto known to be docile is being told today with uncontrollable pleasure.

This story talks of how Buea, Bamenda, Kumba, Limbe, Tiko, etc, have dramatically metamorphosized into citadels that harbour some of the country’s most spectacular boys and girls whose giftedness in music, acting, fashion designing, etc beats every imagination. The story also proudly talks of how these young people have brilliantly conceived and are excellently running some of Cameroon’s boldest entertainment projects.

Call this a success story! And if the English-speaking divide of Cameroon has been propelled to this height, it is thanks to some of these young people who have committed in marketing these talents to the outside world. Nkwain Ettiene Chiambah is undoubtedly one of them. An ambitiously focused young Cameroonian, Nkwain excels in observing, taking stock, planning and executing. And, when he presses his fingers on the table to go, he goes! This, he did for a huge media project he had long carried on his mind. Today, the result which is the much-talked about Chillen Music Television (CMTV) has fast turned into one of Cameroon’s most egged projects.

CMTV gives me a kind of pleasure I cannot easily define. I’m on it all the time and like everything I watch on CMTV,” Hilda, a Buea resident told TIPTOPSTARS. To her, CMTV is one of the solutions to Cameroon dwindling music experience. “I consider CMTV as a reminder that Cameroon can offer more than we can imagine, musically speaking,” Hilda told us.

Other fervent viewers of the station have given CMTV a pass mark.

To Nkwain investing in the media was a reasonable way of reaching the rest of the country, but more so in entertaining television because of the now common emergence of extraordinarily talented people in Cameroon, west of the Mungo. That is how in 2012, Master Chill, as the CMTV boss is fondly called, hit the rail with the now highly acclaimed TV project.

With high demand, the outfit recently decided to expand by giving birth to CM2, its new channel which has come to broaden the viewership scope.

For one thing, the station’s staff consists of some of the finest young people who add passion to hard work, committed and professionalism to strike a good deal with viewers. That explains why shows such as Top Ten Count Down, Loud and Proud, Fresh on CMTV, Chill and Crack, E Don Happen, have become viewers best beds at all times. Also, Red Carpet, Go Under Ground, Market Palance, CMTV News Briefs and Sports Ride give viewers a ride for their time. “They tick,” someone simply commented on these show, said to have been conceived with creativity lingering at the back of the minds of their creators.

Perhaps, one of the biggest stories about this project is the station’s applauded move to select some budding but brilliant singer and shoot them to stardom. A couple of weeks ago, the house made public its latest video of a track by Marc Eff, Yah Bad, directed by Master Chill himself. The Chillen Music Records singer who hails from Boyo Division in the North West region of Cameroon will be profiled in a subsequent TIPTOPSTARS update.

Silent voices: Akon, Fally, others, challenge African leaders on Ebola
News / Latest / ??Ernest Kanjo??

ebola - we are asking

If desperate cries and yelling have not been strong enough to scare the Ebola virus, silent voices from some of Africa’s most influential singers would definitely do the trick. It may only suffice for them to show up with their faces, gesticulate without any sound of their voices for tables to turn. A mark of creativity from creative artists! That’s is what Senegalo-American Hip-Hop/RnB icon Akon, Congolese Fally Ipupa, Benin’s Angelique Kidjo, Cameroon’s Wax Dey and eleven other top-rated singers have opted, as their own coveted approach towards the fight against what is now forcing Africa and the world on their knees – Ebola.

The 1.13 second-long video which questions what we are still waiting for as Ebola ravages Africa is undoubtedly a brilliant work of art which technically appears simple and simplistic, but is literally pregnant with a lot of meaning. “I almost shed tears when I watched it,” Sierra Leonean Miendele told this writer at press time. “The message in their silence is so strong that I felt its weight and kept telling myself that this surely is the right moment to act with more conviction,” the Sierra Leonean who told us she has been repeatedly watching the video since it went public explained.

In the said video, now described as one of the strongest anti-ebola campaign messages, the artists, portraying sad and desperate looks plead that there is need for experience medical personnel, better health systems and coordinated actions in the fight and more financing.

Perhaps, the call on African leaders to be proactive is seen as the biggest signal in the come-together appeal which the general public is invited to endorse by signing a petition to force “our leaders to do more”.

Also prominent in the campaign are Nollywood actor Desmond Elliot, Nigerian jazz hero Femi Kuti, Cameroonian Hip-Hop star Magasco, etc.

The current outbreak of the Ebola disease has been one of Africa’s most dramatic health crisis ever with more than 5000 people losing their lives in just a couple of months in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone. It has fast turned into a global crisis with the Ebola scare having a very strong grip on the world. Efforts to combat it are ongoing.
