The concerned have joined the secessionists in order to create rumour in order to create a general atmosphere of general panic in the entire South West Region. The false alarm was that there were sophisticatedly armed militia that had come to attack Schools that are functional. Consequently It has paralysed Schools across the entire South West Region. Parents caught in a storm rushed in that mêlée of confusion and pandemonium rushed to pick up their kids from School, for fear of the unknown. Video images of the scene in one of the Schools show a stampede in some of the Schools in Town.
Investigations have been launched by the security outfits at the beginning of the week to identity the main source of such rumour that took the state by storm. The investigation carried mostly on Schools around South West amongst certain teachers, has revealed that some teachers were called by phone to come and take their belongings.
They were overheard by some students and have been called for questioning. For their immediate replacement the Minister of Secondary Education has appointed the following to replace them in the said School:
Mrs. Florence Nkemamine, previously the Vice Principal in the same College, replacing Mr. Francis Manchang Oben and his vice, Etien Akem Aji, previously the Senior Discipline Master of Government High School in Nkam. likoum was appointed the vice Principal replacing Mr. Davidson Achu Tanyi.

The relaunch of internet connectivity isn't any longer what the people of the Southern Cameroon's need. They have coped without internet connectivity and went ahead to use other means to get connectivity . The visiting CAF inspecting delegation to Victoria ( Limbs) and Buea forced LA Republique Du Cameroun to eat its humble pie by reactivating the Internet connectivity in the South West Region.
However many questions abound such as: What has the state achieved from this internet rapture? Why should it only be reconnected only in the South West Region,whereas it affected the entire Southern Cameroon's?
Is this another way for the state to indicate that it has learned its lessons that force cannot be used in resolving this crisis? The fears and worries of Cameroon being able to handle these projects on time, when little has been achieved by local Organizing committee. Stadia isn't 20% realized.

ABUJA (Reuters) - Nigeria’s government on Monday summoned a representative of the the U.S. ambassador to explain reported remarks by President Donald Trump that immigrants from Africa and Haiti come from “shithole countries”, the foreign ministry said.
Foreign Minister Geoffrey Onyeama “sought clarification on the veracity or otherwise of the substance of the remarks, stressing that if they were true, they were deeply hurtful, offensive and unacceptable”, the ministry said in a statement.
Trump reportedly made the remarks at a private meeting with lawmakers on immigration on Thursday. A U.S. senator who attended the gathering said the president used “vile, vulgar” language, including repeatedly using the word “shithole” when speaking about African countries.
The Nigerian foreign ministry statement noted the “very warm and cordial relations that presently exist” between Nigeria and the U.S.
The United States, represented by Deputy Chief of Mission David J. Young as the ambassador was not in Nigeria, said there were contradictory accounts as to whether the remarks were made, the statement said.
In a separate statement, a U.S. embassy spokesman said Young “reiterated the excellent relations that exist between the United States and Nigeria and they discussed future cooperation between the two countries”.
The U.S. president on Friday denied using such derogatory language. But he has been widely condemned in many African countries and by international rights organisations. African Union countries demanded an apology on Friday.

The elite of Manyu Division led by the Minister in Charge of Special Duties at the Presidency of the Republic, Victor Arrey Mengot have laid down a plan to physically eliminate North Westerners who have acquired property and are resident in Manyu.
Mengot, Tabetando, Hon. Mrs Okpu and others have resolved to also destroy the properties acquired by North Westerners in Upper Banyang subdivision in several acres of plantations in revenge for what they call a "graffi" war exported to Manyu to discredit and bar them from occupying juicy positions in Yaounde.
Mengot and other CPDM Elite of Manyu are accusing Prime Minister Philemon Yang and his CPDM cohorts of the North West of sponsoring Cho Ayaba and his ADF Force that was waging attacks against security forces in the North West to transfer their operations to Manyu, so that he, Yang and other "graffi" top guns will maintain their high jobs in government at the detriment of Manyu.
The plan, my informant noted, was crafted after President Paul Biya reportedly expressed disgust at the Manyu elite for being unable to halt the massive killing of security forces in that division.
Biya reportedly expressed open regrets at the death of late Peter Agbor Tabi, outlining emphatically that if Agbor Tabi were alive, Manyu would never have become the bastion of Anglophone resistance.
To give the evil plan flesh, the elite have also agreed to organize themselves village-by-village so as to easily identify the targets and execute them, destroying and looting their property along.
In line with that approach, Hon. Mrs Okpu who is from Kembong has convened the elite of that village to a strategic planning meeting at the OIC premises in Buea this Saturday the 13th of January 2018. The Member of Parliament who has never been heard even once at the National Assembly condemning military brutality on her people aims to mobilize the elite against fellow Anglophones in her village, Kembong.
As the Kembong elite prepare to meet tomorrow, reports indicate that the Tigers of Ambazonia, the ADF and all other self defense groups that have cropped up, have set up means to identify all participants at the meeting in order to hold "private" talks with each of them after the meeting.
Some concerned Manyu elite have expressed disgust at what they consider a "diabolic" plan of self destruction to please a man who "does not care about the common man in Manyu".
This Saturday the 13th of January 2018 is thus a significant day and rendezvous in the life of the struggle for the restoration of the independence of Southern Cameroons.

This is the time to reminisce on the prophetic declarations made by two eminent Cameroonians: Felix Nkongho Agbor aka Balla and Joseph Wirba MP. The first made his prophesy during: "Carte sur Table", broadcast on STV and he said: "the time will come when the government will talk about federalism and no one will give an ear in Anglophone Cameroon". That time is now. Federalists have in fact become independentists in disguise.
As for the second, he made his prophesy at the rostrum of the Cameroonian parliament. He said: "when the people of West Cameroon shall rise, even the combination of French and Cameroonian forces won't defeat them". Like the first, the second was also correct. Those two prophesies like many others before were defining moments in Anglophone nationalism.
No one in the government took the prophesies of the aforementioned men seriously and today, I am afraid there's no turning back. Cameroon is finish and as I wrote last year, this year 2018 an epitaph will be written on the tombstone of the dead nation.
Only the people and I must insist, only the people of Anglophone Cameroon will have a say on the fate of the comatose country. The outcome of the secret negotiations in Abuja,when made public, shall not be binding, if it doesn't contain the will of the majority.
In West Cameroon, if the demonstrations of October 1st or September 22nd 2017 are in guides, then, the majority wants independence.
But it will be very cavalier to conclude that, because millions came out to demonstrate in favour of restoration, it is over and done with.
Those against it will always challenge it legality. They could with conviction, say what happened on the 22nd of September and October 1st 2017 were fruits of manipulations from Anglophone nationalists. It might not be entirely wrong. Now how do we settle this dispute once and for all?
To put an end to all suspense, the solution will be to organize a referendum under the supervision of the UN,UK, USA, the European Union and the African Union. West Cameroonians, shall be the only ones to participate in such a referendum.
Places where referenda were held to solve similar crisis
Across the world, referenda have been used to settle such. In Quebec, two referenda have organized to decide whether the majority Francophone province wants to stay in the Canadian Federation. On both occasions, they stay campaign won,which meant that, the block Quebecois did not represent the voice of the majority.
In Scotland, the Scotich National Party,SNP , fought had and got a referendum and was shocked to discover that, for the noises of the Scots,they prefer to stay in the UK.
In Indonesia, a referendum was organized in East Timor and the results were overwhelmingly for independence. In Ethiopia, a referendum was organized to see whether the Eritreans wanted to stay in Ethiopia, they voted no and in Sudan, normally two referenda were to be held in the South.
One to ask the people of Abyei whether they wanted to stay in the Republic of Sudan or South Sudan. This first referendum was not organized because, the Obama administration wanted to please Khartoum, Rhyad and the Moslem world.
However, the second referendum in the deep South was organized and a majority voted for independence. The other places on the continent where referendum will be employed to solve it's problems are Somaliland and Western Sahara.
The truth is that, you can kill a movement deeply ingrained in the conscience of people as the current feeling of distraught is among the Anglophones. You can't also decree unity as Yaounde thinks, it has to be natured. The most recent example took place in Catalonia, Madrid stupidly dissolved the regional parliament and organized a snap election, just to be won again by the independentists.
That is why , in Cameroon to stop all the senseless lost of lives, the wastage of monies the government doesn't have, a referendum remains the only solution to adjudicate the current crisis.
