SPORTS: INDOMITABLE LIONS COUNT DOWN TO AFCON 2027 QUALIFIERS

Cameroon’s Indomitable Lions are preparing for their return to competitive action as the team gets set for the opening matches of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Cameroon will face Comoros on September 24 in Garoua, before travelling to Brazzaville to meet the Republic of Congo on September 29. The Lions will then face Côte d’Ivoire in an international friendly on October 3 in Abidjan.

Coach David Pagou has named a 26 man squad for the upcoming fixtures, with attention also turning to the return of Manchester United midfielder Carlos Baleba, who is expected to rejoin collective training. Meanwhile, Congo coach Claude Le Roy, a former Cameroon coach, has already unveiled his 27 man squad ahead of the qualifying campaign.

For Cameroon, the first major test comes against Comoros in Garoua next Thursday. The opening fixtures will provide the Lions with an opportunity to begin their Group G campaign and set the tone for their road toward AFCON 2027, which will be hosted by Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.

POLITICAL CALENDAR: POSSIBLE FURTHER DELAY FOR LEGISLATIVE ELECTIONS

Cameroon’s legislative election calendar is again attracting attention following a September 17 report by Africa Intelligence that the government is considering delaying the legislative elections once more. The report says discussions are underway within government circles, but there has been no official announcement confirming a new postponement.

The National Assembly’s current mandate was already extended in March 2026, from March 31 to December 20, 2026. Under the constitutional framework cited by the Inter Parliamentary Union, elections for a new National Assembly would then have to take place between January 29 and April 19, 2027. This follows an earlier extension in 2025, when lawmakers’ mandate was prolonged to allow the 2025 presidential election and other electoral preparations to proceed.

For now, the important distinction is between a reported government consideration and an officially decided electoral date. Any further change would have implications for the electoral calendar, political parties, candidates and voters, but the precise timing will depend on formal government and legislative action. DBN TV will continue to follow official announcements as they emerge.

AGRICULTURE: AGRICULTURAL VALUE CHAIN PROJECT CLOSES WITH 92% IMPLEMENTATION

Cameroon has officially closed the Agricultural Value Chain Development Project (PD-CVA) after several years of investment aimed at improving production, transportation and processing for farmers. Presented in Yaounde on September 16, the project recorded a 92% physical implementation rate and 83% financial ex*****on, with a total cost of 34.68 billion FCFA, financed mainly by the Islamic Development Bank and the Cameroonian government.

Among the reported achievements are 194 kilometres of roads constructed to connect production basins to markets, improved seeds distributed to farmers and the establishment of processing facilities designed to reduce post-harvest losses. Authorities say these interventions have contributed to higher yields and improved incomes for producers, highlighting the importance of not only producing food but also having the infrastructure to process, transport and sell it efficiently.

Meanwhile, Cameroon is also recording progress in continental fish farming, with national aquaculture production reportedly rising from about 12,000 tonnes to 20,000 tonnes in the first 18 months of the PROFIP project. The five year initiative is targeting stronger technical capacity, better access to fish feed and fingerlings, improved marketing and a long term production target of 50,000 tonnes by 2030. With Cameroon still facing a major fish production deficit, the authorities see fish farming as another avenue for improving food security and reducing dependence on imports.

WEATHER ALERT: NINE CAMEROON REGIONS AT RISK OF FLOODS AND LANDSLIDES

Cameroon is on heightened weather watch as the National Observatory on Climate Change (ONACC) warns of increased risks of flooding and landslides across nine regions. The areas identified are the North West, West, South West, Adamawa, Far North, Centre, South, East and Littoral regions. ONACC’s September 11–20 bulletin forecasts rainfall ranging from 50 to more than 150 millimetres in some areas, raising the possibility of overflowing waterways and flooding in vulnerable communities.

The warning comes as the rainy season continues across several parts of the country. Beyond flooding, heavy rainfall can destabilise slopes, damage roads and buildings, disrupt transportation and increase the risk of accidents and water related diseases. The alert is already particularly significant in Yaounde , where a landslide in the Nkomo area on the night of September 16–17 reportedly killed four people and damaged homes.

Residents in flood prone and hilly areas are therefore urged to remain vigilant, especially during periods of intense rainfall. Avoid crossing flooded roads or fast moving water, keep away from unstable slopes and drainage channels, and follow alerts from local authorities. The warning is not simply about the weather, it is a reminder that early precautions can save lives when heavy rains strike.

UNIVERSITY TENSION: MINESUP AND SYNES RETURN TO THE NEGOTIATING TABLE.

A fresh attempt is being made to ease tensions in Cameroon’s public universities as Minister of State for Higher Education, Jacques Fame Ndongo, has invited the National Union of Higher Education Teachers (SYNES) to another working session in Yaounde today, September 17. The meeting follows the union’s refusal to attend the September 11 session, which it said did not meet its conditions for meaningful negotiations.

At the heart of the dispute are unpaid academic debts and research modernisation allowances owed to university lecturers. The Ministry reported after the September 11 discussions that 41% of an academic debt estimated at 15.498 billion FCFA had been paid, while it also said the 2025 research modernisation allocation had been fully settled and that payments for 2026 were progressing. SYNES, however, maintains that outstanding demands still need to be addressed and has continued its strike launched on September 3.

The renewed meeting is therefore significant for both lecturers and students, particularly as preparations continue for the 2026–2027 academic year. A successful dialogue could help clarify the payment schedule and the conditions for normal academic activities, while continued disagreement could prolong uncertainty around the university calendar. For students, the issue goes beyond salaries it directly affects teaching, examinations, research and the timing of the academic year.

DOMESTIC GAS SUPPLY: NEW BUTANE SHIPMENT ARRIVES IN DOUALA

A new shipment of butane gas has arrived at the Port of Douala, offering some relief to households that have struggled to find cooking gas in recent weeks. The arrival comes amid long queues and supply difficulties reported particularly in Douala, Yaounde and Kribi. Cameroon’s petroleum storage company, SCDP, says the situation is better described as a localized supply tension rather than a nationwide shortage, noting that stocks remain available in its facilities.

The current difficulties have several causes. According to SCDP, national consumption has increased by about 15%, while domestic production fell after production at Bipaga near Kribi stopped, reducing local output by about 2,000 tonnes per month. Delays in the arrival of butane tankers have also affected distribution. Authorities have consequently been working to increase imports and improve the flow of gas from storage facilities to retailers.

For households, however, the key question is when the gas will actually return to neighbourhood sales points. SCDP says a new load was already being unloaded at the Bonabéri gas depot, and the latest shipment is expected to progressively improve availability. Consumers should also be cautious about paying inflated prices or using unsafe methods such as transferring gas between bottles. The official price reported for a 12.5-kg cylinder is 6,500 FCFA, although shortages have reportedly created higher informal prices in some areas.

NOLLYWOOD MOURNS: VETERAN ACTOR OLU JACOBS.

Nigerian entertainment industry has lost one of its most respected veterans. Oludotun Baiyewu Jacobs, popularly known as Olu Jacobs, has died at the age of 84. His death was announced by his son, Olusoji Jacobs, on Wednesday, September 16, 2026.

Olu Jacobs built a career spanning more than five decades, working across theatre, television and film in Nigeria and abroad. Trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, he became one of the defining faces of Nigeria’s acting industry and was widely recognised for his commanding screen presence and contribution to the growth of Nollywood.

The family described him as a beloved husband, father, grandfather and uncle, and referred to him as “The Lion of Lufodo.” They have also appealed to bloggers and social media users to respect the family’s privacy as they mourn his passing.

Olu Jacobs leaves behind a legacy that stretches beyond the films he appeared in from the stage to television and the Nigerian film industry, his influence helped shape generations of African performers.

For many Cameroonians, earning money is only part of the challenge, the bigger question is knowing what to do with it once it is earned. From savings accounts and Mobile Money wallets to bank loans, insurance policies and investment opportunities, financial decisions have become part of everyday life. Yet not everyone fully understands concepts such as interest rates, loan charges, repayment periods, inflation, insurance premiums or investment risks before committing their money. This knowledge gap can leave people vulnerable to expensive financial mistakes and, in some cases, fraud.

Consider a simple example: someone takes a loan because the advertised interest rate appears affordable, but does not calculate the total amount that will eventually be repaid. Another person may put money into an investment because of promises of unusually high returns without asking how the investment generates those returns or what happens if the business fails. Even savings require financial understanding, which knowing the difference between simply keeping money aside and putting it somewhere that can generate interest, while also considering accessibility and risk.

Financial literacy therefore goes beyond knowing how to save. It means being able to ask the right questions before signing a financial agreement, compare products, understand the cost of borrowing, recognise unrealistic investment promises and plan for emergencies. Schools, financial institutions, employers and families can all contribute to improving this knowledge. For ordinary consumers, one principle is worth remembering: before you give an institution or individual your money, make sure you understand where the money is going, what you stand to gain, what you could lose and what obligations you are accepting.

For many households in Cameroon, access to safe drinking water is not simply a question of turning on a tap,it can also be a daily financial expense. Families without reliable access to potable water may depend on sachet water, bottled water, refill stations or treated household water, with costs varying depending on location and household size. What appears to be a small purchase each day can become a significant expense when multiplied across weeks and months, particularly for families already struggling to manage food, rent, transport and school related costs.

The situation also raises an important public interest question: how much does a family actually spend to drink safe water? A household purchasing several sachets or bottles every day could spend considerably more over a month than the price of an individual purchase suggests. For low income families, this creates difficult choices, especially when safe water competes with other basic needs. Meanwhile, households that rely on untreated or poorly stored water may face additional risks when hygiene and water quality are compromised.

Beyond the price, the issue is ultimately about access, affordability and public health. Safe drinking water should not become a luxury that families can only afford by sacrificing other necessities. Consumers can reduce risks by using trusted water sources, keeping drinking water properly stored and treating questionable water appropriately. At the same time, stronger investment in reliable potable water infrastructure, especially in underserved communities, remains essential if Cameroon is to make safe drinking water more accessible and affordable for everyone.
