To not have a SUSTAINABLE "people's based emancipation" agenda (( not the ones engineered and managed by the elites )) is to be prone to REACTING but to the agenda of others. The problem is that we don't even recognize that WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THEIR AGENDA NOT TO MENTION ANY OUTCOME. One reason why we like a drowning man will clink to about anything ... like the UN granting us independence.

To not have a SUSTAINABLE "people's based emancipation" agenda (( not the ones engineered  and managed  by the elites )) is to be prone to REACTING but to the agenda of others. The problem is that we don't  even recognize that WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THEIR AGENDA NOT TO MENTION ANY OUTCOME.  One reason why we like a drowning man will clink to about anything ... like the UN granting us independence.  

SOLUTION:  we need a new paradigm shift. A totally new emancipation model that taps unto the latent powers we already have -- Our powers of self- determination-- so as to be able to being back SANITY, LOGIC, & BEST PRACTICE-BASED advocacy into the independence struggle.  

Right now the emancipation quest is like a rudderless ship running adrift in the seas of PAN CAMEROONIA. At best some of us have betted our entire fortunes on "legalism" whose outcome we cant control! At worse, there is this palpable resignation which has open our polity yo be so vulnerable to the manipulation of pan-Cameroonism. 

RECALL: The later is the very problem that made us failed to recognize that termination of UN trusteeship tantamount to independence. THEREFORE IT CAN BE CONCLUDED THAT WE STILL EITHER DO NOT  KNOW WHY WE DID GAIN INDEPENDENCE WHEN TRUSTEESHIP WAS ENDED, or we do not even care to investigate why we are today second class citizens inside a country that claims us as Its citizens!!!

Would we for once be realistic about our demise inside pan-Cameroonia today to just admit that the SOUTHERN CAMEROONS got re-colonized by Cameroon? 

This is why! BECAUSE WE OPERATED SOVEREIGNTY POLITICS AS MERE INDIVIDUALS DEVOID OF THE SELF-PROPAGATING PROPERTIES OF identity & its accompanying nationalism, we for sold the CAMEROONIAN IDENTITY. 

If you are reading this right now and think the emancipation quest has resolved this problem, afterall, isn't coming knowledge that INDEPENDENCE is the end goal you better think again!! 

THIS TIME THINK AS THAT INDIVIDUAL WHO IS CONCERNED THAT 53 years and counting since missing to recognize that TRUSTEESHIP TERMINATION equals INDEPENDENCE for that TRUST TERRITORY, nothing has changed!

Ask WHY?

  

^**WHY DID THE ENTIRE POLITY OF THE UN TRUSTEESHIP OF THE SOUTHERN CAMEROONS MISSED THE TERMINAL INTENT OF UN ARTICLE 76(b)... "Self-government and independence clause.."?

-- Was it because as some said THE United Nations FAILED TO GRANT US INDEPENDENCE ?

-- Was it because as some said THE United  Kingdom FAILED TO GRANT US INDEPENDENCE ?

--THIS KIND OF THINKINGS ONLY GOES TO HIGHLIGHT THAT WE DO NOT KNOW "self-interest"! 

(1) Why did the UN through its administering Authority, the UK grant in 1956 what technically was "self-rule" through the auspices of HEAD OF GOVERNMENT which our own Endelley was in charge?  

(2) Do people know that in 1959, the UK reported to the UN Trusteeship managing authority ( THE FOURTH COMMITTEE), paraphrased .. "The Southern Cameroons is in no way any different from Nigeria in its progressive development towards independence.."! 

(3) Which was why the UK in its preparation to granting independence to Nigeria the next year (10/01/1960), by way of developing its base constitution, has one similarly developed for the soon-to-be independent Southerb Cameroons, called CONSTITUTION ORDER-in-COUNCIL!

Ok.. So why then did "termination of trusteeship" not lead to "independence for the Southern Cameroons"?

WELCOME TO THE SINGLE REASON THEORY. It goes  that we, the SOUTHEN CAMEROONS people failed to recognize the benefit of existing as a unique sovereign state because we did not have the CONSCIOUSNESS OF BEING A SOVEREIGN STATE! Our politicians operated this very important matter of the sovereign state as mere individuals and making matters worse, as individuals obliviously to the POLITICAL HAZARDS of their environment. 

This was an environment where by shear contact with the FRENCH CAMEROONIAN emigrants and savy ultra- nationalists, came the NEGATIVE double forces of ASSIMILATION & INTEGRATION.

This force is what defines and operates PAN CAMEROONISM and to date, we the people who insist on calling our country SOUTHERN CANROONS STILL DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER TO it. If we can not be curious to find an answer to the SINGLE REASON THEORY, Which is the key way we can appreciate the fact that PAN CAMEROONISM IS OUR NUMBER ONE ENEMY and not the Paul Biya, and not francophones people, then what can be said to be the STRATEGY for restoring our independence ?
