Mr. Nguidjol Albert
Sorry for the belated reply. I don't have time right now to get into a line by line rebuttal of your initial mail but suffice to say the following: In a bleak and rather convoluted denouement, you assert with disingenous pompous authority that "Anglophones" should be happy and thankful for joining their "Francophone" brothers in La Republique because they were granted the following "Windfall" when they integrated the Cameroon union:: Ward Servants and Nursing Aides were incorporated into the Cameroon Civil Service as Infirmiers Diplomes d,Etat et Sages Femmes; ii) 2nd class soldiers were given ranks of Lieutenants in the army while Police Constables were parachuted into the prestigious ranks of Commissaires de Police while small Clerks in Buea were made Chefs de Service etc. I feel sorry for any Anglophone who does not feel outraged with such random display of uncouth theorization. You just made my case the more easily to explain to doubting "Anglophone" Toms. What could be more insulting than this?
Unfortunately Mr. Nguidjol, we've heard that nonsense before and we would not stand for that kind of condescending "Master/Slave" attitude no more. Did you just listen to yourself? Anglophones are not begging for handouts or recognition. The history of Independence and Reunification has been judiciously documented. We voluntarily entered the union as full fledged partners on an equal footing. YES some of our leaders out of naiveté made some errors of judgment but that is no reason for us to continue down a spiral of uncertainty. Forget about what generation I belong to. That is totally irrelevant. We call that type of grand standing in good English as "Pompous magniloquence". This is not about me as an individual. Francophones in their majority have always doubted the authenticity of Anglophone Education. You just displayed that in your email.
Whether the entire Francophone population under the yoke of their Government's inadequacies is marginalized, neglected or whatever is totally at cross-currents with the coming together of the Anglophone Southern Cameroons and la Republique du Cameroon to form a Federal TWO States structure. The Francophone Power players of La Republique du Cameroun have blatantly reneged on their obligations viz a viz the terms of the Foumban Accords. That is where we are today…IMPASSE.
All that we "the Anglophones" are asking for; ONE LAST TIME; is to sit down as adults and equal partners, Face to Face and Agree to Agree or Agree to Disagree. The union is not working. Enough is enough. The Francophone Government has a choice if they are sincere in dealing with their Anglophone partners. Throwing words and slogans like "Les secessionistes Anglophones"..."If you are not happy here in Cameroon you are free to go back to Nigeria"..."Le Cameroun est Un et Indivisible", "All Cameroonians in Batouri, Ebolowa, Koussiri etc are also marginalized" etc, will simply buttress the resolve of Anglophones who had been sitting on the fence. I don't know of any Anglophone who would like to be called "Biafrais" in his own country.
This rubbish has to stop. If there is no political will to do so, then we will resort to any means available to make our voices heard. Anglophones are not begging for any largesse. The very Francophone Civil Servants who are sent out as "Politicians" to go and preach this hatred don't even realize that the bulk (about 60%) of their salaries (and the huge chunk they steal with impunity) comes from the sale of CRUDE OIL, Cameroon Refinery, Tourism, the Agro-Industrial giant CDC....from the Anglophone Southern Cameroon Regions. Do You need statistics? Southern Cameroons remains the "Bread-Basket" of Cameroon , yet we are treated as Second Class citizens.
Why, for crying out loud do Anglophones have to assume second fiddle roles? I cannot even fathom the idea that BASSA Francophones have been "Managing the Southern Cameroon Refinery" while Francophone BETI bosses have been sitting at the high table @ SNH to control with impunity the proceeds of the sale of our natural resources...for more than 50 years.
How fair is that? For Anglophone Fence-Sitters; are you with me on these arguments? Imagine someone entering your bedroom and forcefully walks you out and screws the nonsense out of your wife. That is exactly what is happening with our Francophone brothers.Are you going to stand on the sidelines as an observer?
Now I even hear the SONARA Refinery wells are drying up. And you still want us to stay quiet (parce que tous les Camerounais souffrent) until our Francophone brothers milk out everything from SONARA pipes...Right?... WRONG.
I am very sorry sir; but the first part of solving any problem in Cameroon today will start by FIXING the vexing issue of Southern Cameroons . The rest is simply History and Geography. No more, No less.

Esu-Ndzem-Usu:
J'aime vraiment ce debat car meme s'il blesse l'intime conviction des uns et des autres, quelque part il est le reflet de la mentalite purement camerounaise qui a n'en point douter reste parfois tres puriste, pudique et/ou demagogique selon les cas et les enjeux. Chacun voulant se camper dans son ilot d'objectifs, mon analyse est partiellement prise en compte pour les besoins de la cause et complement ignore la ou je releve LE SUBJECTIF & L'IRREGULARITE". Peut etre qu'il aurait fallu que je fasse un dessin mais en clair vous et moi parlons le meme language mais en de termes differents, avec d'un cote beaucoup de passion et je comprends parfaitement.
JE vous prierais aussi de bien vouloir relire le point ou je releve que le reversement des cadres Anglophones dans la Fonction Publique Camerounaise n'a pas du tout obeit aux regles de l'art et je le repete, car si elle a profite a une generation des serviteurs de l'Etat, les gnerations futures ont ete ignorees. par ailleurs, tout a la fin de mon analyse j'ai bien emis un point de vue qui balaie d'un revers de main le statut-quo...peut-etre qu'il fallait que l'ecrive en Anglais ou en Pidgin afin que la portee de ma vision pour l'equilibrisme camerounais Anglophones - Francophones soit tres bien comprise.
Je suis un enfant de la Colonisation du Cameroun, de l'Independance du Cameroun, de la Reunification du Cameroun, de l'Etat Unitaire du Cameroun avec le parti unique, du Multipartisme Camerounais avec 150 partis politiques. Sur les bases tant ethniques que politiques, sociales et economiques, les revendications d'un Camerounais ou d'un groupe de Camerounais ne peuvent me laisser indifferent, car en fait dans quel camp je me retrouve? Dans celui des VICTIMES ou dans celui des VICTORIEUX...
Vivement que ce debat continue et dans un sens constructif si Yaounde peut nous entendre.
Bonne journee.
To succeed is not to pile up accomplishment after accomplishment rather to be able to pick yourself up when you fall and as many times as you fall.....
A Wise Being.
La reussite n'est pas le fait d'aller de succes en succes,mais celui de se relever chaque fois que l'on tombe et autant de fois que l'on tombe...
Un Sage.
