ARE WE READY TO ANSWER THE CALL TO FREEDOM?
Biya has continued to thrill the human conscience and universal norms of morality with his excessive infatuation and romantic clinging on the saddles of power in Cameroon. The recent cabinet reshuffle spells in crystal terms that the Nazist who rules Cameroon can never recant from his well-cushioned belief in the band of thieves around him.
It is indeed pathetic that the four walls of a catholic seminary could not have a sobering panacea to this feat of greed, wickedness and demonism ingrained in the Biya persona. A stroll across the streets and villages of Cameroon, Africa in miniature, reveals the sordid faces of despondency, disillusionment and surrender - the cries of unemployed youth, the anger of a forgotten people, and the spree of blood from a country bleeding out of the bruises of a one-man, one-region, one-tribe political apartheid.
I choose to believe in Dante, that ''the hardest part of hell is reserved for those who in period of moral crises like ours, choose to maintain their neutrality''. No one nation, no one people, no one era under the shackles of slavery, have ever extricated themselves by idle complaint, alcoholism and mean-care abandonment. Everytime injustice triumphs, it is because the human conscience has gone so dumb to the nerve shrieking call of freedom, so blind to the bright side of sacrifice, so emasculated to take the walk of sacrifice across the gilotine of patriotism.... afraid to die fighting evil, that others may live fostering good.....
We have all failed Cameroon! Why? Because we spend every iorta of courage that once made us a great people complaining, Because we have refused to see beyond ourselves and our differences, we have all failed, for making all those who rape and plunder the largesse of our country believe that we are too sterile, too stupid, too enfeebled to comprehend the call to freedom swirling and echoing around us!
Until we rise above mere hypotheses and see practice, until we heap-off our differences and remember that we were once a strong people, until we re-awaken to the resolve that Cameroon has enough God-given endowments of Gold in Ndian, Petroleum in Limbe and Kribi, Rich Timber confederacies in Bertoua, Beautiful panoramic flora and fauna in Bamenda, to mention a few -
that we do not deserve to be a people so scorged at the back and caressed by the persistent hands of abject poverty, so brutalized by a clique of spineless and amoral homosexuals....... until then, we deserve to be in the dungeons of misery...
I have failed Cameroon, you reading this has failed Cameroon, we all have failed this nation, cradle of our fathers....
But the difference is simple.... every single time I get summoned by history to see a tragic spectacle unfold, to see Biya play more than 20 million people to a monotonous tune of whim Machiavelli in commandeering feat, to see him offset intellectuals in a game of stark demagogy because they are blinded by wealth-thirst,...
Every time I savour the bitter truth that the most momentuous thieves in a generation like Abah Abah can go scott-free because some fraternal, tribal, or superhuman cohabitation with the ''commander-in-chief'' creates the corridors for them to walk head high, ....that Louis Paul Motaze, a well celebrated long-arm in the national coffers can get appointed a Minister.... I feel I am ready to answer the call to service... but Cameroon is not yet ready....
The Cameroon citizenry has slept far too long that it has now slipped into a comatous state
When Beer shall taste like water in the mouths of Cameroonians, when the lure of ill-gotten wealth shall stink like abomination in our sight, when sodomy and cultic enticement shall lose their grip over our souls... when the intellectual class -now the chorus singers to the biya Malevolent bandwagon - realise and heed Bernard Fonlon's call to genuine intellectualism which questions and calls to the purpose of truth,... Until we rise beyond the quicksand of tribalism, until we cross the valley of nepotism God-fatherism..... Until we stop seeing ourselves as Anglophones or Francophones, and embrace a new CAMEROPHONE identity, then we are not ready.....
When we will be, God will be on our side, and truth shall triumph, and Cameroon shall be saved! why, because as Martin Luther King chronicled ''truth pressed to the earth shall rise again, the arm of the moral universe always bends towards justice''.... When Cameroonians are ready, God will lead us to a MOSES.... Until then, Pharoah Biya will be in charge....BUT not for Long, Justice is on its way... on a chariot of fire and rage riding fast towards Cameroon, and it shall come when no one ever expects...God Bless Cameroon.. with a better tomorrow''
September 7 Cabinet Reshuffle:Another Cabinet Reshuffle, Another Disappointment
By Francis Wache Since the official proclamation of the results of the July 22 twin elections, the cabinet reshuffle had been awaited. It had been so awaited that, in the words of the Prime Minister, this had virtually grounded government work as Cameroonians awaited - and speculated.Then, on ...
