Fru Ndi is just a wicked self-absorbed old man who never cared for anybody but himself. He is finally coming to the realization that his egotistic fantasies will never come to fruition. It is such a shame looking back at the years I risked my life sympathizing with him only for him to be a sell-out to Biya. We don't need you in the SCNC.....leave us alone. Southern Cameroons will rise someday soon and we don't need your confusion.

That time gonna come

it is indeed frustrating to say the least. Each time this subject comes up, i steam. when i look at the tribalism and frenchism that has plaque this goverment of Paul Biya in particular and cameroon as a whole, i just wonder who this people,these frogs think they are?. i know how to speak french but i have denied to speak that dam language when i visit cameroon. All i know is that,that day will come when the first of october will be celebrated without any fear. If Paul Biya and some of his doubting french people think the contrary, they should go ask SOUTH SUDAN. But we( English speaker) will not allow you frogs to exploit all our resources to develop frogs land as the North sudanese did to the south, before we separate from you guys. the choice is clear, either you guys(frogs) change your habits, and start running the country 50% vs 50% or be ready to see the English people greet you guys goodbye.

Fru Ndi is confused or better still he has realized himself which is of course too late. At the onset of his political life he was so prominent and seen as someone who can salvage the nation from the grip of Bivondo. He was invited by the then US president Bill Clinton because he thought he was for secession. Since that was not what he wanted at the time, the idea was dashed on the floor by Clinton. Here he is coming again after after twenty years to advocate what he refused. What a paradox?

Fru Ndi, so you are now envisaging how you can carry that your one man show from SDF over to SCNC instead of retiring? Aren't you? For your records, you shall be denied victory again in the oncoming parliamentary election. What shall you do? Ngong dog...

There are very few Cameroonians who will act otherwise if given the chance Fru Ndi has. Most Africans are born selfish and would care first about their immediate perimeter before even thinking of those around them, Consider the case of a poligamous home in a typical African society and liken it the politicians in Cameroon, same father different mothers and all that takes place within.Those holding top position or otherwise, believe it or not, their interest would be satified first hen their relatives in some cases,before the general public. I look at the house of the middle class citizens in Cameroon, very beautiful interiors and well furnished and as confortable as a panda's nestl, from a distant view it's splendid with a gate round it good enough to build other apartments.My doubt is why can't these guys provide good roads that lead to their gorgeous villas and fabulous houses? the answer lies in the selfish nature , Compare with other countries I have visited , It is a complete contrast. SCNC, SDF CPDM, ETC all are controled by same species of humans who will never change even when the chance is given them. All these cry is just to while time, The mentality of a greater majority of Africans espercially Cameroonians home

Can morons keep John Fru Ndi's name of this? For God's sake what has John fru Ndi got to do with an agreement which wasn't in anyway orchestrated by him? If they care, let them exhume the corpses of Foncha,Endeley ,Jua and Muna and vent their venom on them!!! Fru Ndi envisages the two front approach to get rid of Biya and cohort. One is through the SCNC and the other through a political setup recognized by mbiya like the SDF.And if Fru Ndi had succeeded in 1990, his presidency would have ended with anglophones reclaiming what they lost at the Foumban conference ie the AMBAZONIAN REPUBLIC. A piece of evidence in support of my assertion is the fact that approximately 70% of SCNC members and sympathizers are indeed SDF members,thus taking us back to the two front approach mentioned above.

i realy begin to seriously doubt if we african people would suvive if we still do not understand we are the same people.who realy are we?africans;anglos;francos etc?let us be clear with ourselves.what do we realy want?assimilation to europe?

Feel quite sad, after everything we been thru, all that we achieved, well respected abroad yet we are classified second class citizens in our fatherland. Very soon we shall require residence permit to function in Cameroon

We cant solve such issue by preaching a united republic of Africa.. We have first to accept that we have a big problem in Cameroon.. We should fiorst of all accept the fact that there is a Francophone domination and descrimination of thze anglophone mionority... When we first accept this, then we can start looking for a solution.., All ist big writing and intellectual discussion takes us no where.. Cameroon is ruled by a primitive majority that feels superior...The so call frogs never wanted to learn english because they thought it was a language spoken by second class people in Cameroon.. When they come out of cameroon, they see the world differntly..If they can see at all.. Accept facts and then look for a solution.. You cant look for a solution, when you dont even accept a fact...

"Je ne comprends pas votre patois-la" summarises it all for even the last of the Doubting Thomases. Now,those who write motions of support for daily bread have a piece to add to their motions.

For all I know is that they (the current leaders) can never damage or destroy Cameroon in such a way that we (next generation) cannot repair it. Let they begin by eating up the entire earth from the North to the South and from the West to East, it cannot get finish. Everything that begins under the sun certainly have an end one day. So the regime in place with it ideologies of destruction and ruining one of the most blessed land under the sun and dividing the people and initiating insurgences and hatred among fellow countrymen will one day fade away. Not sooner or later, but their days are number. It is obvious that people grow old and died and some of them are growing old, so dead is eminent. What we have to do now whether in the diaspora or at home is to keep a positive attitude. They have been corrupt and we have seen the consequences in our nation whether Southern Cameroon or La Republique, both have some, if not the most corrupt people in the world. The question we young Cameroonians of both Anglo and Frog backgrounds have to ask ourselves is how corrupt are we also, how dynamic are we and how patriotic are we? These are important questions that can reshape our nation in the coming few decades, if we answer them rightly. Then we know we will be better than our predecessors but if not then I guess we should stop all the critics and have a rethink on how to better our morality for the betterment of a great Cameroon that is soon in our hands. God bless Cameroon.

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. ... God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion; what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms." -- Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, 1787

"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds." -- Samuel Adams

Former U.S ambassador (who disliked BIYA) said three times he brought American Business entrepreneurs to invest in Cameroon, three times they packed their bags and left. He concluded, "If you have money to throw into the bush, just come to Cameroon". Makes sense? Some guys just talk about investing without assessing the potential risks; danger to your life and the business. Ofcourse, some people are weathering the storm but not anyone can do same and besides those people are small scale and they worship the REGIME to survive. Note that the first people to raid your business are the police and other memebers of the arm forces. They are all rogues !! How about the general business climate? The velocity of transactions and the time value of money? With a currency facing potential devaluation and uncertainty , how can you do business internationally? Is it a course on us that we have to stay of the useless Franc which useless Paris Gov't abandoned? Well, we shall be babysat until dooms day when a great pandemic ravages all of use. God forbid!!!

C'est assez écoeurant de savoir qu'il y a toute une partie du peuple camerounais qui se sent marginalisée depuis des décennies, de génération en génération sans que rien ne soit fait á propos.Ceci est un probléme trés important qui ne doit pas être négligé comme cela a toujours été le cas.C'est dommage que ce malaise ne soit assez régional, puisque dans les régions "Franco" du pays on n'en parle pas, on n'en fait même pas allusion, on ignore tt simplement qu'un tel malaise existe.Au niveau gouvernemental, tt est fait pour anéantir et comprimer certaines voix qui s'élévent. Je pense que nous autres "franco" qui sont conscients de ce prob avont un rôle important á jouer pour trouver une forme de solution. Nous devons commencer par reconnaitre qu'il existe une discrimination du peuple "anglo", qui ne dis pas son nom.Nous sommes TOUS Camerounais et personne n'est plus camerounais que son voisin.Un pays est coe une famille, on ne peut avancer ni évoluer si tout le monde n'est pas impliqué. Ceux qui se sentent plus "forts" devraient tendre la main aux plus "faibles", c'est ainsi qu'on pourra avancer. Au fond, nous descendons tous des mêmes encêtres. Avant l'arrivée des colons nous étions tous Unis, nous parlions presque tous la même langue avec qques nuances. Nous devons travailler TOUS ENSEMBLE pour trouver une solution. Le Kmr n'appartient à personne et nous appartient TOUS. C'est un gachi énorme de ne pas profiter de ces ressources humaines et intellectuelles que regorgent les régions du NW et SW. J'espére qu'un jour on arrivera, le chemin est néanmoins trés trés long! on a du boulot!

Diplomacy is the best tool humans can ever use. If you all understand the meaning of billingualism, then there will exist no Anglo-Franco problems in Cameroon. Play along people! Always approach people like a double edge sword. Most of us forumites abused the opportunities we had when we had the chance to go to school. Back in Primary and Secondary school, you all had the options to study English and French but ignored it. I see no crime speaking French or English because if you realize that Mr or Mrs XYZ have an attititude that you are speaking one language instead of the other, why not switch to the other language. "If you cannot speak fluent French or English go fuck yourself" stupid!!. I am tired of this bull ****. This goes to all of the Forumites.

Fine sermon Mr. Bikutsi and trust me sir, I know you mean well. But here's a simple and painful reminder just as an example. No matter how well trained a physician is (even in his/her field of specialization) he/she can never feel the pain of his/her patients and therefore has no foundation on which to talk about the intensity or anguish of that pain unless he/she has been inflicted with the same ailement and undergone the same treatment regimen as that being administered the patient. It is all well and dandy to talk of unity- unity of family, unity of coworkers at a work place, unity in a political party and UNITY OF A COUNTRY especially as concerns CAMEROON. From the fortunate or unfortunate (my view) circumstances that brought the two Cameroons together in what I continue to call a "Marriage of Inconvenience", nothing seems (in my opinion) to be working as it should or even remotely close to being acceptable. But for the sake of brievity and the constrains of time and space here, I could go on to enumerate the zillions of times I have met with humilating responses and gestures as I travelled to Douala and Yaounde in request of necessary services from government ministeries/departments or need I mention the 1960s when we were required to show a Laissez-Passer for a short trip from Bamenda to Mbouda (in a Federal Cameroon Republic). Just two days ago a news item posted here had this headline : Bilingualism in Cameroon: Slow But Steady Progress Made. You cannot help but question the sincere efforts or any efforts at all made by the majority french-speaking government in Yaounde in forty years to intergret the two official languages and if not, why would a sentence like the one Mr Dinga quoting the article in his commentary ""Je ne comprends pas votre patois-la" even come to the limelight. Does that not speak volumes of the nature of the true unity that government purports to be building? Why in 50 long years has the leadership of the country been the exclusive province of French-speaking Cameroon (men)? How can you not feel excluded? The list of inequalities, some so subtle suffered by West Cameroonians can go on. For those who chastise Ni John Fru for vacillating between alliance with Paul Biya's half of Cameroon and his recent pronouncement to support the agenda of SCNC, let me say unequivocally that it is thanks to him that voices of dissent are being raised in public about the shortcomings of the government in power. His emergence on the political scene back in 1990 (at great risk to his life mind you) was an opportunity for the regime in Yaounde to ;1). Take him serious and know that the days of Cameroonians (both French and English-speaking) suffering in silence was over. 2) To rethink and implement a strong but fair national policy of true intergretion as a bedrock for Unity. 3) To draft a new constitution allowing for a fair and balanced number of government-appointed ministers and department heads from both halves of the Country among other things. The article posted here provides sad statistics which by itself is a betrayal of any efforts at unity. Read this: "In February 2003, it was announced that there were only 57 Anglophone youths among the more than 5,000 new recruits into police academies. The next month, records show that there were only 12 Anglophones among the 172 recruits into the customs department.” Mr. Bikutsi sir and all others who live outside of the steaming pot of injustice, the accounts bear out and thus any attempts at dismissing the marginalization of Southern Cameroonians is simply put a fallacy on your part.

Parler d'un quelconque probleme anglophone comme certains le font ici et surtout cet article plus haut serait de passer completement a cote de la plaque. Au cameroun, on pourrait plutot et a raison parler de tribalisme,corruption,nepotisme et j'en passe. Peut-on nous repondre aux questions suivantes avec objectivite et sans passion ? D'ou vient le cameroon? Y-a-t'il un coin ou une region du Cameroun ou la misere et la mort ne regnent t'ils pas en maitre? Si d'aucuns pensent que le cameroun est domine par une region a savoir celle qu'on appelle francaise ou francophone et qui n'est francaise que de nom puisque la race, la culture et la geographie nous eloignent des vrais depositaires de ce nom et que par contre nous sommes simplement africains et freres avec ceux-la qui se morfondent dans l'appelation de "anglophone region" qui n'est aussi anglaise et anglophone que de nom puisque tout l'oppose au peuple british qui lui meme n'est british que de nom dans la mesure ou il est un melange heteroclite de divers etats ayant chacun une culture propre et un passe different individuellement. Historiquement le Cameroun fut une creation de l'Allemagne. Apres sa defaite a la fin de la premiere guerre mondiale cette puissance perdit ses colonies qui furent recuperees et partagees par les pays vainqueurs notamment l'Angleterre et la France. Alors ces derniers dans leur politique de "diviser pour mieux exploiter" paracheverent le morcellement du cameroun avec le referendum de 1961 ou une partie du cameroun se rattacha au nigeria malgre les efforts o combien salutaires des politiciens nationalistes tel John Ngu Foncha. Des lors le cameroun redevint un et un seul tel qu'il avait ete cree par l 'allemagne malgre le fait qu'il perdit une partie de lui meme. Voila donc succintement brosse l'origine de notre appartenance commune a la nation appellee Cameroun ou Cameroon selon qu'on veut. Si depuis bientot une vingtaine d'annees un certain groupuscule aux intentions inavouees voudrait rebalkaniser le cameroun comme l'ont fait deja les pays occidentaux exploitateurs a outrance de nos rechesses,c'est simplement a cause de leurs egoismes personnels. Dire qu'il y a un probleme entre les camerounais en utilisant les langues des autres(les langues europeenes a savoir le francais et l'anglais) comme origine du mal serait idiot et tres irresponsables. Nous devons etre sideres et revoltes lorsque certains camerounais rejettent d'autres camerounais sur la base de ces langues qui nous sommes tous etrangeres et qui nous ont ete imposees par l'homme blanc pendant sa pseudo mission civilisatrice du "sauvage". Le cameroun aujourd'hui est un pays completement malade. Tout y est a refaire et ce n'est pas par la division de cette nation que nous y parviendront. Au contraire,desunis nous serons encore plus faibles et plus vulnerables aux attaques de l'occident qui sans cesse veut reconquerir l'afrique pour la soumettre une fois encore comme hier. Au Cameroun n'en deplaise aux ennemis des vrais nationalistes, il n'y a pas de problemes entre ses regions mais seulement des regimes neocoloniaux qui se sont succedes depuis la fausse independence de 1960. Au Cameroun, il y a plutot une region de voleurs j'allais dire un groupe 'incompetents conondant la richesse publique et leurs biens personnels qui en meme temps se recrutent chez les foulbes, les bassas, les bakweri,les sawas etc

Is SCNC on facebook? Pls give me the adress. There can never be unity in cameroon. we have different culture, language, behaviour, etc. Let us not pretend, there can never be a successful unity. Southern cameroons needs to have her own government. Belgium and canada are not united 100% united! We need that system in Cameroon, especially the system in Canada if we plan to be a united country. There is marginalisation in cameroon and I have experienced it!
