Re: Background to the Current SCNC Imbroglio: The Imperative of a Paradigm Shift

Many tx my dear Ofege, I will accept to be stupid since you are Mr Knowledge.That is how you rate every one who exposes your flaws. Look at what you write as a journalist raising a very laudable topic with half truths, no sense of direction. Why not address the key issues i raised earlier+ I will give you a chance someday for a cerebral discussion in any field of your interest.Take an appointment when you are upcountry. In anycase the facts remain and i can prove when you are down.You want to allude that we come up here because we are idle. Ashia for being busy with nothing to show for. Pls do your homework well before you come up with such stories and stop living in deceit of yourself.
Blessings
Napoleon

The Predictability of Stupidity.
I have not been to Bamenda since Pastor Khan's Synagogue House of
Pyare was established.
It so happens that the Synagogue House of Prayer moved into the
building, Opposite CBC Nkwen, once occupied by Living faith
International or Winner's Chapel.
Whereas Synagogue House of Prayer, Synagogue Church of all Nations and
Living Faith International are very different ministries.
It so happens that Prophet Ntemfac Ofege was the Prophet of the 2005
Bible class of 73 Pastors and missionaries.
This is the problem, with the Southern Cameroons Struggle: very stupid
people creep from the woodwork and make statements out of TOTAL
IGNORANCE.
Ad the ego is so bloated that they would not just SHUT UP and learn.
Instead they make careless statements, they do stupid things and allow
themselves to be led by crafty self-seeking power-hungry folks into
stupid things. The entire process suffers because one has to waste
precious time trying to educate ignorant folks who would not even
learn.
Mr Kwalar, get the hell out of my face.
I am a very busy man.

>>> The Way Forward - Solutions
>>> These are the issues and some.
>>> 1.      The hijack of the SCNC by the NZ sent an irreparable warning to
>>> the SZ. How can that be handled? A leadership Conference, perhaps?
>>> 2.      The NZ methods of keeping power have done its own damage. How
>>> can that be repaired?
>>> 3.      The antics of the Fons sent a message to the SZ. How do you
>>> deal
>>> with that?
>>> 4.      The antics of Fru Ndi as a NZoner. How should that be dealt
>>> with?
>>> 5.      The antics of the SDF as a NZone front. How should this be
>>> dealt
>>> with?
>>> 6.      The Northern Zone tendency of one-foot-in-one foot-out is
>>> untenable. The NZ can no longer sustain its overt support for both the
>>> SDF
>>> and Philemon Yang while pretending to be for Southern Cameroons
>>> determinism. The Northern Zone can no longer afford to support the Nfor
>>> Ngala Nfor antics in the SCNC whereas it knows VERY WELL what is going
>>> on.
>>> 7.      Meaning and lessons must be drawn from Mr. Biya's Army Day in
>>> Bamenda. How does this affect the Banjul Process?
>>> 8.      For there to be Constructive Dialogue there must be a partner
>>> (and a Credible Partner) for DIALOGUE. The very idea of an ARMY DAY in
>>> Bamenda shows that Mr. Biya is not a partner let alone a credible
>>> partner
>>> for Dialogue. His political gimmick of co-opting FRU NDI only
>>> demonstrate
>>> his intention of by-passing the ACHPR recommended Dialogue.
>>> 9.      Does the NEXT GENERATION OF French Cameroun leaders represent
>>> potential partners for DIALOGUE! Should they be engaged? How?
>>> 10.    This is 2011, the 50th Anniversary for those who say there was
>>> Independence on October 1, 1961 but 50 years later for those who say
>>> there
>>> was no Independence. How should this be handled.
>>> 11.    Mr. Biya says he will hold 'Re-unification' events this year. In
>>> Buea? How should this be handled?
>>> 12.    This is the 2011 Election year. How should this be handled?
>>> 13.    Parliamentary and Council elections are due in 02 years. Could an
>>> innovative strategy develop from this?
>>> 14.    266 and 337 due February. Could these be managed differently?
>>> 15.    Shouldn't SCAPO just replace the SCPC about now? After all the
>>> SCNC leadership is in SCAPO. This will make an implementation of the
>>> FIRST
>>> Schedule easier.
>>> 16.    Shouldn't the youths especially those who have following from
>>> their various Counties be co-opted into leadership about now?
>>> 17.    Shouldn't the youths – in respect of Banjul which calls for the
>>> transformation of SCAPO and the SCNC into political parties – be
>>> positioned
>>> as per the Non-Optional Protocol to get ready for political office? This
>>> is
>>> a strategy and this could secrete leaders.
>>> 18.    Management and leadership. This struggle can no longer be managed
>>> on a seasonal and annual basis…especially in its coordination between
>>> GROUND ZERO and the DIASPORA. It must be managed on a daily basis with a
>>> committed fulltime leader on a salary and staff well taken care of by
>>> the
>>> state. Consequently I repost the First Schedule. Who exactly are the
>>> leaders at Ground Zero and how does the eventual overall leader deal
>>> with
>>> them.
>>> 19.    I repost the First Schedule Again. Shouldn't we use even Internet
>>> and Ambasbay – why not – to suggest leaders for every County and Local
>>> Government Areas. Then these leaders can get together and Elect a
>>> Leader.
>>> Why Not?
>>> WHY NOT? WHY NOT? WHY NOT? WHY NOT? WHY NOT? WHY NOT?
>>>
>>> Of every two names per County, LGA and the Chief Town one must be in the
>>> County and in the LGA
>>> Treat this as a matter of urgency

>>>
>>> *The Southern Cameroons Administrative Structure[2]***
>>> I am saying that the SCPC system of representativity proffers the best

>>> of Substantive and alternate could still guarantee adequate mobilization

>>> Consequently, there is no justification for Ambazonia's heathen
