Cameroonians launch association in Accra





Cameroonians living in Ghana have come together to form an association called Cameroonian Association Resident in Ghana, Nungua (ARCAN) to unite and create a platform that will help them support one another away from home.

The association, which was launched in Nungua, a suburb of Accra, will address some of the challenges the Cameroonian community face in the country and find innovative ways to help them as there is no embassy or consulate present in Ghana to attend to their needs.

Speaking to the B&FT, President of the group, Leonardo Asu, highlighted the purpose of forming the association and encouraged all Cameroonians to join.

“This group has been formed to bring all Cameroonians together so that, together, we can address some of the problems we face while living here by channeling it to the government of Ghana.

Cameroon does not have a consulate in Ghana and so we find it difficult for the government to know what problems we face here. So, we feel if we establish an association, at least it will give us some recognition that will enable us approach the government with our problems,” he said.

Also present at the event was Lacasara, Afro-Fuji musician and Fashion Designer, who frequents Nigeria, Ghana and Cameroon for shows. He expressed delight about the formation of the association and said it will enhance friendship between Ghana and Cameroon.

He also thanked his fans who have always given him a warm and wonderful reception whenever he comes to Ghana to perform; and further thanked them for supporting his father’s funeral in Nigeria.

The Ford Ranger has received the highest award for quality in the midsize pickup segment in the US; according to the 2020 JD Power Initial Quality Study (IQS) report. The Initial Quality Study, now in its 34th year, is based on responses from 87,282 purchasers and lessees of new 2020 model year vehicles in the US who were surveyed after 90 days of ownership. The study took place from February through to May 2020. The JD Power Initial Quality Study (IQS) takes an updated look at the problems owners are having with their new vehicles, including those related to new technologies.

Redesigned Nissan logo signals a fresh horizon

How the badge’s physical identity was adapted for the digital world We are more connected than ever before. People are growing up with the access to knowledge and the potential for interaction that the internet offers. Our lives are as much digital as they are physical. Hence strong brands need to have effective touchpoints in both realms. For the past 20 years, Nissan’s outgoing logo has been a beacon on its vehicles and so much more. It has served as an identity, a business card, a handshake and the first greeting between customers and the driving excitement that Nissan vehicles provide. For decades more, Nissan’s logo has stayed true to a belief held by its founder Yoshisuke Aikawa, “Shisei tenjitsu o tsuranuku,” which he interpreted to mean, “If you have a strong belief, it penetrates even the sun.” While keeping this essence alive, Nissan’s new “calling card” reflects the significant changes in society over the last two decades. It is a reimagination of the iconic Nissan bra...
