Re: [cameroon_politics] TIKUM MBAH AZONGA Vs. UNIVERSITY OF BAMENDA...SAYS: ANGLOPHONES "LEAVE FAME NDONGO ALONE"

Dis my craze combi called Tikum should speak for himself when he makes broad references to Sacred Heart College. He seems to not have grasped that at Sacred Heart we had nothing against teaching or technical education as such. Given the elitism of the student fuel by an administration and student body that wanted only the best, We loved good teaching and admired great teachers  and aspired to go higher than them. He Tikum should know. He has spent the better part of the past 30 years making sure that he secures a PhD (the proper certificate for a teacher these days) as he amply reminds us since he acquired one from U Buea a couple of years back.

We were also enthralled with radical new developments in sciences and in all forms- theoretical and applied. We may not have wanted end up as mechanics -and here i agree with docta Konde when he gave up mechanic work in Limbe for a doctorate in History from Boston U- but we all admired big engineers around us and some of us have ended up in various low and high tech disciplines as high end experts. 

His stance on this issue at unibamenda does not surprise me. Tikum the shesan was and still is a traditionalist and conservative and has always stood as a sycophant and griot of power. He could not see him on the side of the students as a guide or mentor...

In which century is this man living? I would not have bothered if late Tamfu and the Fon of Mankon made such pronouncements, but for a man as young  as Tikum  M. Azongha,  who has studied in England, it still shows how far we have to go to know where we are heading as a people. I only pray there are not up to five of them with this mindset in Cameroon today. Did he by any means read what the Anglophone parliamentarians wrote to the PM?

Are we having a complete replay of University of Buea in the amphitheaters of University of Bamenda or "Anglophones" are outright incompetent to run their own affairs? The question is of paramount importance given the constant bickering and in-fighting especially amongst the academic staff and students? An objective analyst should be able to tell us the ratio of "Anglophone" participation in the other Universities: Yaounde I and II, Dchang, Ngaoundere, Douala, Ecole Normale Superieure, Polytechnique, EMIA, ENAM, INJS, School of Journalism, IRIC, CUSS, School of Agronomy(Nkolbisson) etc. Can Minister of Higher Education publish the statistics so that we can forever "Shotop" our mouths?

Dr. Azonga Tikum Mbah in a rare outburst of personal frustration following the announced or impending "Strike" by University of Bamenda students (due to massive "Provocative Francophonization" of "their" Anglo-Saxon University); is asking "Anglophones to CHILL, Leave Minister Fame Ndongo alone, stop being cry babies, desist from being jealous of hard working Francophone students and carry their "Anglophone" frustrations elsewhere...at least that is the quintessential of what we can decipher from the good Dokta's analysis. Others may disagree with me but that is what I felt when I read his piece.

Herewith excerpts of Azonga's analysis

The wrong move
 

No such bias at the university
 
 

 
 
The difference with Francophone students
 
 
When I was principal of Nacho Bilingual Comprehensive College in Bamenda some years ago, I needed two chemistry teachers for the First Cycle.  Twelve qualified candidates applied – five had A/Level chemistry, three had the Bachelor`s degree, one had a Masters, and three graduated with the subject from the ENS. That was a total of 12 applicants for two jobs. Paradoxically, in the same years I needed two teachers of dress making. I did not receive a single application. Someone then told me of a girl who had just obtained passes in that trade that same year. When I contacted her, she was already employed. I had to offer her money for her to quit the other job.
 
 
 
The other beneficial factor of Francophone students
 
 
 
 
Conclusion
 
It would be valuable to all stakeholders if our students cohabit. They could interact with each other and improve their French or English, depending on their background[MV17] . Above all, Anglophone students currently at the university can orientate other Anglophones towards enrolling on technical courses at the university. Parents must also change their mentality.
