NEW: Ghana Tourist Villas offers an unforgettable holiday and business experience in Accra.
Coach of the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon, Otto Pfister was last Wednesday summoned to appear before a Cameroonian court for breach of trust and fraud.
Reports reaching DAILY GUIDE SPORTS indicated that the complainant, Fernand Taninche, a Cameroonian, claimed that he facilitated the recruitment of the German Coach in October 2007 for a fee.
According to the complainant, Otto Pfister had so far refused to comply with his commitments. “I filed a complaint for breach of trust and fraud which are punishable under the civil code in Cameroon because we had an agreement signed by both parties”.
Mr. Taninche stated that he was supposed to have received from the coach a sum of 34 Million CFA Francs equivalent to $68, 000, to date, after a successful negotiation with both Otto Pfister and his son, Mike Pfister, who witnessed the agreement.
“Otto Pfister promised to pay 20 percent to me of all his gains for the duration of his contract in Cameroon,” he complained.
He explained that all efforts to convince Cameroonian authorities to channel the money directly to him had proved futile; therefore he was compelled to go to court to seek redress.
It would be recalled that when Cameroonian authorities needed a coach, over 80 coaches applied for the job but only five including Otto Pfister were short-listed, and later the German was given the nod as the Indomitable Lions' coach.
He guided the team to second place in the 2008 Africa Nations Cup held in Ghana.

Surprise Package spacer
A man was drinking in a bar when he noticed this beautiful young lady sitting next to him. "Hello there," says the man, "and what is your name?"
"Hello," giggles the woman, "I'm Stacey. What's yours?"
"I'm Jim."
"Jim, do you want to come over to my house tonight? I mean, right now??"
"Sure!" replies Jim, "Let's go!"
So Stacey takes Jim to her house and takes him to her room. Jim sits down on the bed and notices a picture of a man on Stacey's desk. "Stacey, I noticed the picture of a man on your desk," Jim says.
"Yes? And what about it?" asks Stacey.
"Is it your brother?"
"No, it isn't, Jim!" Stacey giggles. Jim's eyes widen, suspecting that it might be Stacey's husband.
When he finally asks, "Is it your husband?"
Stacey giggles even more, "No, silly!" Jim was relieved.
"Then, it must be your boyfriend!"
Stacey giggles even more while nibbling on Jim's ear. She says, "No, silly!!"
"Then, who is it?" Jim asks.
Stacey replies, "That's me BEFORE my operation!!"

Computer.... Male or Female? As you are aware, ships have long been characterized as being female (e.g., "Steady as she goes" or "She's listing to starboard, Captain!").
Recently, a group of computer scientists (all males) announced that computers should also be referred to as being female. Their reasons for drawing this conclusion are the followings:
1. No one but the Creator understands their internal logic.
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.
3. The message "Bad command or file name" is about as informative as, "If you don't know why I'm mad at you, then I'm certainly not going to tell you."
4. Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later retrieval.
5. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.
However, another group of computer scientists (all female) think that computers should be referred to as if they were male. Their reasons are the followings:
1. They have a lot of data, but are still clueless.
2. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem.
3. As soon as you commit to one you realize that, if you had waited a little longer, you could have obtained a better model.
4. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.
5. Big power surges knock them out for the rest of the night.
