Politics
Do not despair. It is what one young man told me this morning and then he added curiously: "we are winning". What are you winning? I retorted, to which he calmly whispered:"Our restoration". Then I moved from my neighborhood to another one and ran into a group of Anglophone Cameroonians. They were conversing and one identified me and asked: "have you heard the news?" I replied: I suppose it is about the arrest of AyukTabe". He nodded affirmatively and told me: "learn to call him President AyukTabe". Then he said: "They have just made matters worst like they did with the consortium".
As I left them and boarded a taxi for Akwa, I felt that, the youngman was correct. And before I could settle at the French cultural centre, I got a phone call from a friend who sounded defiant: "Good things don't come by easily". And she added: "Those people who were on the fence must now understand that Biya thinks his dialogue is long overdue". She concluded: "soon we will have a country where peace will reign and it will be one of the most prosperous".
Confused, I asked: "are you talking about this Cameroon?" She cried: "No! I am talking about Ambazonia". I didn't continue any further, I understood that what has happened in Nigeria is a kind of divine intervention to salvage this struggle from calapse.
Paul Biya has by default helped give a revolutionary creditial to AyukTabe. In the underworld, you become, a leader not only after having murdered an innocent person, but after going to jail. In politics, especially that which has to do with fighting against despots, it's synonymous gangster acts.
If you have not been arrested , harassed or go to jail, you are not respected. It was based on this background that, some people were contesting the leadership of AyukTabe. However, thanks to the maladroit gesture of Abuja and most importantly, Paul Biya, AyukTabe has crushed any revolt.
He will come out of custody with a new tag: arrested abroad. Sisiku AyukTabe can say thank you to Paul Biya, but he has always been an ally of Anglophone nationalists. In 1984, he used his pen to create Fon Gorgi Dinka and now through his gauche act , he has put fuel in the tanks of restoration movements and more, Unite them.
If after reading the above you still have doubts that Paul Biya is an ally, albeit by default to the Ambazonian course, then I don't know what else to say or write in order to to convince you.

If there is anyone doubting, my questions are simply: Did anyone watch TV yesterday? Or did anyone read cover of some French language newspapers today?
The hosts and participants of two TV programmes yesterday, one in Yaounde and the other in Douala, exuded hatred with intoxicating analysis that will negatively stick in the brain of most Anglophones and moderate Francophones, and this to a point where, when time comes for hand washing or forgiveness, it will be difficult for Anglophones to pardon or accept their apologies.
I won't name and shame those two television stations that without shame excels in the propagation of falsehood, profanities, simply because their sponsors are those in power. But there's always something good in bad situations. The hosts and participants in both TV stations have contributed in making the world know that, Southern Cameroonian leaders in Nigeria can't be extradited to Yaounde.
How possible that in this 21st century people could go on air and call for public execution of fellow human beings and go unscathed? As for those print media celebrating, via their writing we all know their sources of finance.
But how can some Francophones call for the masacre of Anglophone Cameroonians, call them dogs and cockroaches and at the same time, call them their compatriots? Contradictory. But they are used to such gymnastics. They will denounce things in Ivory coast or Gabon, but accept them in Cameroon. Some Francophones have for too long minimise Anglophones because the second are law abiding and meek. They mistook meekness for weaknesses. Now , they are shocked and awed by the reaction of a people they considered as their slaves.
To all joyful Francophones, I have bad news for you, AyukTabe and his team among which there's a woman, Novala Bih ,won't be extradited. Do you know why? Because, there is no extradition treaty between Nigeria and Cameroon.
Finally, AyukTabe and his team were not arrested because of the dubious international Arrest Warrant, but because of other reasons whose veracity and authenticity is under review.
If you love someone, you don't wish him/her dead as I have been reading on social media or in print and electronic media.

Today barely a day after the false euphoria generated by the alleged arrest of the Interim President of Ambazonia and some of his cabinet members, a three days ghost towns was declared and sumptuously respected across the towns and cities across Southern Cameroon's.
This frightened losing state of LA Republique Du Cameroun got pissed up because it exposed the lies that the regime had fabricated and announced to the world by their propaganda and lies telling CRTV, that calm and normalcy has returned after all the noise of the agitators.
Its effectiveness and its effervesce was mesmerising and awesome to behold. Even birds, the sun, clouds and weather were in perfect harmony and had a rendezvous with the ghost town.
The sun looked sober and dull looking, a perfect reflection of the gloom and despair that has held the populace hostage for the past two years.
Even the songs of the sweet melodious larks that sing sun rise songs didn't sing with their enchanting flay and dexterous dexterity.

Obama Ernest, is he the symbol of ignorance or double standards? Obama Ernest is one of the Cameroonian trained Journalist who has proven that he has no mastery of journalism ethics that sanction investigation journalism. It is scandalous for such stupidity to be expressed on Television that Ayuk Tambe has been arrested and presently in Yaoundé.
Such disgusting information is misleading and makes nonsense of such reporting. Announcing the arrest of the Interim president and his cabinet could not become so sweet to Francophones when no extradition treaties aren't signed between Nigeria and LA Republique Du Cameroun.
Furthermore the extradition of persons who are refugees in different Country, there is the need of Interpol. This audacious declaration was made on his own version of Mille Collins tagged Vision 4 Television in Yaoundé, Cameroun.
This shocked and bemused even one of his journalism lecturers, Xavier Messe. Taking people from one Country to another isn't as easy as drinking a cup of white raffia wine Cameroon is a shit of a country to allow such quacks to pass as journalist.

The mere fact that the much trumpeted one and indivisible Cameroon had announced two distinct Second Term resumption calendar dates is laughable and drama in real action.
The resumption dates of 3rd January for the Anglophone subsystem and 8th of January for the rest of French speaking Cameroun is a tell tale story of the state of Topsy turvy situation in the minds of the Ministries of Basic, Secondary and Higher Education as well as the state of LA Republique Du Cameroun.
It's saddening that most of the attempted policies aimed at forestalling the crisis, instead makes matters compounded.
Schools have a degree of serenity on its learning environment that must be respected for sound academics to be guaranteed.
For the past two years running, this basic environmental ingredients haven't been guaranteed and therefore learning is naturally hampered.
The Schooling program again in itself must graduate from the certificate mill that it is to that of the holistic formation of the mind, body and the soul. This kind of broad band education is aimed at building capacities and geared towards knowledge acquisition and not certification.
LA Republique Du Cameroun prefers the status quo so that those brain washed graduands shall become the cows for the state to milk through the state scamming public recruitment examinations meant to recruit potential job seekers into the public service.
