Oh yeah, Mark again. Still the same guy I talked about a while ago. His blog is humbly sponsored by Pen 2 Net and he is very proud about that. He hosts two text links to the home page and donation page of Pen 2 Net.

Recently, Bara Mark contacted the Chief of Pen 2 Net’s Support Staff (my humble self) requesting membership on his blog to be open to the public. In my response, I almost asked why he would do that but held my question back because I know he has 100% rights over his blog and should make any move he likes at any time as long as they don’t go against the Pen 2 Net’s terms of service.

On Bareta Online features a page labeled Your Say, where readers can anonymously post any information for publication on that same page. Bareta needed just more than anonymity. He believes very much in “freedom of speech” and clearly thinks that many people also do. He thereby wanted registration so that people who have enough courage for that can clearly identify themselves with their opinions.

All was done as the chief requested. Default user level on Bareta Online is “Author”. Wow!

Do you have a friend or two who is so talented in what he/she does so much that you feel you want to be in that place? Have you found yourself asking questions like “where and when does he/she learn further”?

Everyone has a skill or two. Some are easily seen, while others are hidden. Some, where there easily seen or not are well utilized while others are just being “wasted”. Friends who make good use of their skills, talents or gifts are a good inspiration to us all.

The other day, after reading a post by Lainy, I told her what a good writer she is. I must have told her that several times, but what was special about this last time is that for once, I told her exactly why I think she is a good writer.

Lainy, you are such a good writer. Your writing is a perfect blend of conversational, narrative and descriptive.

Today, a friend, Bara Mark (aka Mbarakanamozo) of Bareta Online showed me a newspaper with on of his articles on the front page. Though I was amazed, it was not much of a surprise. I can recall that I have seen his article at the front page of the Eden Newspaper more than once. What is amazing about his writing is the fact that he is not a professional writer. It is just a hobby for him and what he writes is not even close to what he has studied in the University.

Bareta is a young Cameroon studying Microbiology in the University of Buea and currently residing in Buea. If you visit his blog expecting to see some Microbiology related talks, then you are wrong. He calls himself the analyst and believes very strongly in human rights and freedom of speech. He is no politician, but a dedicated student who always aims at leadership roles. If he were to stand for the presidential elections someday, I bet I will be his campaign manager. :D

Bareta’s most recent article as of today (Tuesday 17th March 2009) is MT.CAMEROON RACE,THE PEAK OF ANGLOPHONE MARGINALISATION. Oh, before I forget to mention, that is the article I saw on the front page of the Eden Newspaper.

Bareta was the very first candidate of Pen 2 Net. I love the courage he took. After making him are that WordPress won’t be the piece of cake that Blogger is, he still accepted my offer of migrating his blog to self-hosted WordPress and accepted a domain name which will be paid for by the Pen 2 Net project as long as his blog remains alive.

I wish I could find more talented Bloggers like Bareta and introduce them to the Blogosphere.
