By Neba-Fuh

The US Republican Presidential hopeful Senator McCain John's recent economic utterances and arguments aimed at slowing  down the momentum his rival the Democratic hopeful Senator Obama Barack has gathered, may instead  be luring low income Republicans towards voting for Obama.

Botswana's former President Festus Mogae has won a $5m (£2.8m) prize to encourage good governance in Africa.

Mr Mogae, who stepped down in April after two terms in office, said he was honoured and humbled by the award.

Botswana is one of Africa's most stable countries - it has never had a coup and has had regular multi-party elections since independence in 1966.

Announcing the prize, ex-UN head Kofi Annan also commended Mr Mogae for his action to tackle the Aids pandemic.

The Ibrahim Prize - the most valuable individual annual prize in the world - was set up by Sudan-born telecoms entrepreneur Mo Ibrahim.

As well as the $5m prize, Mr Mogae, 69, gets $200,000 a year for the rest of his life.

It's the day Southern Cameroons was 'forced' to become part of La Republique du Cameroun. It was that day Southern Cameroonians became slaves under a regime which was a by-product of colonial brewing. Southern Cameroons was annexed on 1st October. Southern Cameroons never gained independence on October 1!
