Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 20-5-2023 — Cameroon.

20th May, 2023: Cameroon.


Yes: it’s officially official.

I have stuff to do, today.

After having to fart around on YouTube, rebuilding a playlist!

Dratted websites!

Quite why YouTube seems to be making playlists disappear?

I couldn’t tell you.

But it’s REALLY frustrating!

~≈!≈~

At any rate … ?

At any rate, I meant to show you a video.

An old friend has a Youtube channel: and … ?

In his most recent Judge Dredd read along?

Has a guest speaker.

I wonder who that is … ?


~≈!≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?

Yesterday’s Teaser saw Olga* and Mum† putting in their answers: with both scoring five out of five.



Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?

Here they are, along with the How To, License and video.

Q1)        20th May is the National Day — or Fête Nationale — of Cameroon.   Cameroon is where: Africa, South America or Western Europe?

Q2)        Name either one of Cameroon’s official languages.

Q3)        What’s Cameroon’s capital city: Victoria, Windhoek or Yaoundé?

Q4)        Eru is from Cameroon.   What is eru: a soup, a stew or a pie?   (If it’s any help? It’s traditionally served with Water Fufu.)

Q5)        Finally … ?   Cameroon shares its currency, the Central African CFA Franc, with five other African nations.   Name one of the other five.
Here’s yesterday’s questions and answers …

“Peace – Work – Fatherland.”
The motto of Cameroon.

And a national anthem …


I wrote this set, after watching the Coronation.

O Cameroon, Cradle of our Forefathers was a welcome break from God Save the King.

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.




*        150 … !   I’m shocked, Olga: but not necessarily surprised!   The fact there’s ticket scalpers selling appointments, as well?   There’s too many cynical comments.
        And I can appreciate what Spanish patients must be going through.   And I’d imagine the UK’s chemists must be thinking the same thing: putting prescription charges up would be very helpful!   Talking of shortages?   There’s now a shortage of a popular HRT drug: chemist are having to ration it.

        Hello, Mum!

  2. Q1) Africa

    Q2) French

    Q3) Yaoundé

    Q4) a soup

    Q5) Chad
    The long wait when calling to get an appointment wasn't NHS appointments (although those are tricky to get by phone as well) but to deal with any bureaucracy to do with pensions, doing any official paperwork, renewing permits, benefits...
    Here you cannot get even Paracetamol in shops or supermarkets like in the UK (some of the antiinflammatory creams and gels, but that's it), and that means you have to go to the chemist for everything, although some are sold without a prescription, it still means extra work for them, and supply issues, of course.
    Nice to see you as a guest. No idea about the issue with You Tube.

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.

*   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
