The Cars we Drive

I boarded this taxi at the Synod office (Presbyterian Church in Cameroons’ high office) in Buea Town on Friday, 12th August 2011 on my way to Molyko. Take a close look and you’ll see that this car has no hood (horn) button. Tell me how is the driver supposed to signal a passers-by that  they should give way on the road. Worst of it all, the brakes of this car failed as we descended from the Baptist college hill. Thank God for His guidance.

what also struck me as we drove is a police car that passed us by without side mirrors…but they will apprehend others as unworthy road uses…

Now the Cameroon ailment eating down the fabrics of society. Some students who want to be different are overtaken on the lines by those who can pay their way…giving out a portion of the 50 box to ‘security guards’ who are meant to instill order.This act leaves so many frustrated and in deep-seated thoughts of when all these shall end…
