Dear Folks,
This might sound comic but it is real. The problem we have as a people who have be progressively loosing their identity is that we fail to notice even through language analysis how much e are being constructed out of who we are into neither Anglo-Saxon Southern Cameroonians nor into the undesired Francophones of "French Cameroon" but to lesser and stateless peoples of a so called civilized world of today.
What has been characterized as "Lie" is the "Truth" that lies underneath the reconstruction of a peoples' identity through selective and timeous depletion of constituent elements of that identity. Deploying an evil army of Common Law illiterate arrogant French-speaking Judicial Administrators -somewhat lesser than Lawyers or Judges, to be higher State Prosecutors into a common law jurisdiction with the authority to ignore the Law and language of the Common Law Judicial Divisions is no lesser a ban that the 1984 Biya Decree that unconstitutionally removed from Cameroon Constitution all pretentions of coexistence of two legal cultures in the fictive Cameroon that is becoming a reality. A direct ban and a constructive ban must not blind you, just look at the intent and its assured end result and you will angrier that a lion that has been starved for months and sees a deer being protected from him. Visha is so right. Be critical in your language analysis.

Truth is the platinum standard by which journalists are judged. When a reporter says that there is a ban on English language in a NW court and there is in fact a ban on English language in the said regional court, then the reporter has told the truth; otherwise, the report is false.
The report from the Cameroon Daily Journal regarding the purported ban placed on English in the Bamenda-based court is a lie and self promoting message from that paper and its owner. The advent of electronic journalism has not only improved the speed at which news is reported, but journalism itself suffers as a result of this important channel of communication.
Someone can just sit in his house in Buea and decide to create some sensationalism to increase traffic to his online news site. This misinformation and disinformation is a threat to journalism as a profession. This sale of commercialized lies and dramatic sensationalism of falsehood for personal gain should be condemned with the contempt that it deserves.
Cameroonians should watch out for this kind of yellow journalism, which is nothing but a sensationalistic and marketable fiction. While it is not bad for a journalist to distinguish himself and uplift the profile of his news channel, to do so at the expense of the truth confuses the reader and breaks all media ethics.
