My name is Elie B. Smith. I am 33 years old and a holder of a Diploma
in Mass Communications and a Bachelor in International Marketing.
I
am a Broadcast Journalist by profession and have worked with the
English services of Radio France International and Canal France
International,respectively as a correspondent in Africa and sports
commentator here in Paris where I am now living.
Presently, I
am a guess writer with The Post watch Magazine based in Bamenda,
Cameroon and Holler Africa magazine based in London, United Kingdom.
All dot.com magazines.
What or on what do I write on? My
writings are mainly on social and political issues particularly on
Europe, France and the African continent.
Nonetheless,I do
some times tread off the above track to other parts and topics in World
affairs. All what I have written and published will soon come out in
one single title called "Strictly Speaking".
This is because,
most of what I write are politically incorrect. Hence I humblely want
to share it with others, especially those who are not bloggers nor do
they read specialised magazines.
To conclude this piece of
myself, I am an active practising christian a married and we have just
had a charming manifestation of God's design, who is just 7 months old.
His name is Solomon B. Smith.
Hey! I am I over doing it? I
guess not, especially if I want just to mention that, my God's given
pretty wife is from the magnificent Latin American state of Peru.
As I always like to say to all those who want to ask about my race.
I
tell them this, by the design, desire, wish and grace of God, I am a
blackman. However, by chance,I was born in the little town of
Penja,located on the coast of a West African country called Cameroon.
That explains why you will read a lot on Africa as you read my blog. It is simply a wonderful continent.
God Bless you all and thank you.
