It's very sad for some one to start quoting Part 1 Article 1 SECTION 3 of a constitution without citing the year of the adopted constitution. Which of the illegal Constitutions is been quoted here, is it the 1960 French Cameroun constitution, the 1961 Federal constitution, the 1972 Unitary constitution or the 1984 La Republique "do" Cameroun Constitution?
The problem we have with our "over sabi" gurus is that they know too much more than the library. Does the regime need to write a document to ban the use of English language before the act is believed?
The fact that francophones are posted to teach english language and history in our schools is not enough? The fact that junior lawyers are appointed as , President of Courts or Attorney Generals above experienced Southern Cameroons Lawyers and Judges is not proof enough?
Is it not proof enough just traveling from Victoria through Kumba to Mamfe to Bamenda, Bali, Nkwen, Wum to Nkambe and seeing the sigh posts and adverts on the roads depicting "Bienvenu a.." and not "Welcome to.." ..and if in English would look like assassinating the language eg "WELLCAME TO PROVENCE" , Is this not proof enough that French is the domineering language and the Queen Language have been systematically abolished in the occupied territory alias GAZA of the the Southern Cameroons/Ambas?
No doubt some people believe in living as occupied gurus than support a competitive society where their guruism will be tested in a free and fair man no run environment.
It was LAPIRO who reminded us in his nboko langua that "mumu di laap ndiba di kell'am", open your eyes over sabi gurus!

Ngia Saidou my Grang:We are all missing the substance here. Sessekou Ebini even pushed the argument to another level saying "In his opinion, even if the story is false or exagerated, to him it is a TRUE rendition". This tells you how angry most of us are about this Unity with La Republique du Cameroun, BUT Pah Soule, this is not about ANGER or Emotions. It is a question of Public Accuracy and Accountability. It is very wrong for a so-called Journalist to present Innuendos as "Facts" while injecting his own personal bias. Brian Williams lost his job because of "Factual Inaccuracies" discovered in his Irak War and Hurricane Kathrina reporting more than ten years ago.The onus is not on me to prove that the story is False; rather it is on the individual who brought the topic to the public to demonstrate impeccable maestro by producing the official document that "Bans the use of the English Language in Bamenda Courts".Anglophones have always complained about the over-bearing posturing of their Francophone counterparts. That is not new. What is strange here is that, the guy claims in a bombastic and sensational headline that ENGLISH has been banned in Bamenda Courts. This is a very serious indictment which prompted me to question why Yaoundé authorities would specifically target "Bamenda Courts". Does this "Ban" include Nkambe, Tiko, Limbe, Mbengwi, Kumbo, Kumba, Buea, Mamfe or any other Anglophone region with "Courts"?Ngia Soule; telling us that "The Story is True...because a Bamenda based Lawyer wrote to a Radio program Cameroon Calling" does not in any way exonerate Cameroon Journal newspaper from their battered image through manipulative sensational Journalism.

Hi All,The UN Plebiscite stated in the two alternatives, "a union of two states equal in status"This was changed by LRC. The Constitution which said the Federal Nature of Cameroon,must never be changed, was changed.What stops them from changing the equal status of English and French as the official languagesDo not forget, "Cameroon is Cameroon"ngwang gumneSent: Saturday, February 28, 2015 at 10:37 PM

The State shall guarantee the promotion of bilingualism throughout the country. It shall endeavour to protect and promote national languages"

At least he brought us the names of those appointed in the legal department in Bamenda who are all francophones so how are they going to work with the lawyers?Fonong Fevant FonOn 28 February 2015 at 16:40, Agbor Enow Augustine Enow007@yahoo.com [cameroon_politics] <cameroon_politics@yahoogroups.com> wrote: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.Augustine Agbor EnowThe outcome of my life is not more than three lines:
I was a raw material
I became mature and cooked
And I was burned into nothingness.
