Come And See Journalism in Manjong

Following the escalation of the ongoing Anglophone crisis leading to heightened insecurity resulting from rampant gun battles between both warring parties and kidnaps, the management of Bamenda's renowned and prestigious Blue Pearl Hotel located at S-Bend, Mile 3 Nkwen had to suspend the services of its Manjong Night Club. Though the crisis is still ongoing, considering that insecurity is said to have been seemingly reduced to a bearable minimum and considering the high need for the affected population to shovel off trauma and regain a free,  relaxed and steady mindset, on Saturday 26th October 2019, Blue Pearl Hotel's Manjong Nightclub was relaunched.

After a very long time, the opportunity was finally created for "nightjars" to reunite on the dancing floor and glide from wall to wall to the rhythms of Njang, Bottle Dance, Bikutsi, Makossa, Ndombolo, Zouk, Slow Jam, R&B, Reggae and Ragga emanating from the deafening ultra modern mega sound system, a ripple effect of the jittering fingers of the hybrid disc jockey, a master in the nonstop mixing game. They came in their numbers; pretty babes and cute guys ostentatiously dressed in the latest designer wears  to show off,  to impress and to catch long lost fun.

In regards to the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that was signed between the Cameroon Association of English Speaking Journalists (CAMASEJ) NW chapter and the management of Blue Pearl Hotel Bamenda on June 14th 2019 which stipulates that both parties shall benefit from a mutual exchange of services for a period of four years, journalists in the NW region that are members of CAMASEJ were at the night club to show who ever cares to see how they too can enjoy. Led by the chapter president Ambe Macmillian Awa, the media men and women were copiously reserved a VIP treatment by the hotel's management as hot pepper soup garnished with sensual music of the masters and finely brewed wine to ceremoniously push the bolus down the palp.

Interestingly,  prices have been slashed in all the sections from restaurant to bar, rooms to laundry and event space. Now,  just anybody can access Blue Pearl Hotel contrary to the previous false perception that it's only for "big pipo." With just a thousand francs,  a big bottle of drink can be afforded and with just 800Frs, a plate of hot pepper soup can be obtained.

Manjong Night Club,  Blue Pearl Hotel is opened on Fridays Saturdays and Sundays. All English speaking journalists nationwide that are members of CAMASEJ benefit a 50% discount in laundry,  lodging and event space at the hotel,  this following a partnership deal the hotel struck with CAMASEJ NW mid this year. Many more ladies have started answering present at Manjong during week ends.
