Subject: Urgent to Mishe Fon Re: [camnetwork] Why Mishe Fon should forward my request to the Mankon Group and collect the information I need from them
Mishe Fon
You are still to send my fees. You think say I di go school na for free! So you think me I no be don go for school or weti be your rationale?
Collective conscience is required. Man no run for saka say me I don land ! The langa for me get to shift to real serious matters affecting. That is SWOT analysis for "Graffi people".
Ok. I would love to cite you but the information you have supplied needs more meat to it. Be exact . Which group? Limit it to Bamenda. If you have first hand information collect the data and add to your comments so that I will cite it directly from you. What you have written is good but not good enough. You have been writing about Bamenda eloquently in the past but I can't use information like this without data and facts that can be verified. The information is incomplete and I urge you to add more meant to it. That is your duty as a citizen . This is how I like to cite you.
Mishe Fon Lucas who is a proud and outspoken Bamenda -diaspora businessman resident in the DC Metro area stated that " Most of these groups undertake various projects in Cameroon in fields such as Health Care (Medical Missions), Sanitation, Transportation (SAFRAN), Water and Electricity supplies, Micro-Finance, Credit Unions, Housing, Road Maintenance, Agriculture, Education (Scholarship awards, Schools Construction and supplies, Pro-bono University exchange Professors etc). If you don't ask, you will never be informed. Cameroonians are doing a lot for their country although they have never understood the rationale behind their government's reticence in accepting Dual Nationality" ( Fon, 2015)

This is a request and as a member of the civil society you should volunteer to assist your fellow man. You are not doing me favor. I am conducting a research that is for the good of the public and not for the good of an individual. It is your civic duty to run around, if time permits, to look for the information because you have been given free and democratic rights to be an active political member of the political community. Whether you like it or not your actions or inactions are impacting geopolitics and international relations n the light of your connection with Bamenda and the United States. So, why are suddenly unable to speak properly now when you are famous for writing about Bamenda? If you have an opinion about what I am seeking simply send me one or two lines. This is very simple. You did already but you have to stop cracking joks when I am rather very , very serious.
Please, forward my email to MACUDAUSA . I need the data from them. It is my right to obtain the facts. Financial transactions within MACUDAUSA should be a matter of public interest. So, you don't have to hold any official position of responsibility there in order to solicit that information for me.
All I need is to know about how much money the Mankon Group , which is one of the main cultural groups in the Bamenda City, has sent to Cameroon , say during the past 2 years. I just want to have access to their financial statement and disclosure of the developmental initiatives that they have embarked on. Why is it hard?
I appreciate all the advice , insights and constructive criticisms but I am done begging . I don't need to conduct an elaborate and sophisticated questionnaire for a 5 page article highly restricted on a 2.0 Turabian format with an introduction and conclusion.
I am complying with strict academic rules and using the data of one organization is good enough because the idea is to show that Bamenda-Diaspora are a powerful force to reckon with when it comes to the economic strength of Bamenda. Of course, there are many other cultural groups and organizations sending money as well as involved in some form of economic investments in Bamenda but I need just one case study and from there I can cite others in passing.
Thank you

I would not be wrong in assuming that the general consensus is that every one is happy with the major decision you took to go back to school and acquire knowledge. You are a good and very honest human being BUT you should know how to ask for a favor. No be by force. Take am easy. Like Massa Agbor rightly observed, send private emails to individuals you think are resourceful enough to volunteer the information you need for your research paper. Most people who read these emails are very nice individuals and would go the extra mile to assist you in your work. desist from confrontational posturing, unnecessary accusations and blame game.
Unfortunately, I hold absolutely no position of responsibility in Mankon or MACUDA USA. There are many Bamendrous Cultural groups with very vibrant and active websites. Check out very solid associations like Bali (Nyonga and Khumbat), Aghem(Wum), Wimbum(Nkambe), Bui(Nso), Ndong Awing, Northwest Fon's Council, Camroyals, Batibo, Babessi, Akum, Santa Njong, Ngie Ngwo, Njibujang(Bafut) and many more. Other PAWA houses include Alumni groups like LESA (the two sides), SHESA, BOBANS even St. Ngong 4 Banso, St. Bedes 4 Kom, PCC Pah Mubang, LCC 4 Pah Longlass, KTC and even ex-students of that Typing School near Roxi cinema.
Pick up your phone and call the Executive Director of the ACCDF who has the current list of all Cultural and Alumni Associations with names of current Officials. I am 100% sure they will work with you on whatever project you are working on.
Most of these groups undertake various projects in Cameroon in fields such as Health Care (Medical Missions), Sanitation, Transportation (SAFRAN), Water and Electricity supplies, Micro-Finance, Credit Unions, Housing, Road Maintenance, Agriculture, Education (Scholarship awards, Schools Construction and supplies, Pro-bono University exchange Professors etc). If you don't ask, you will never be informed. Cameroonians are doing a lot for their country although they have never understood the rationale behind their government's reticence in accepting Dual Nationality.
I wish you all the best in your career path.

Mr Agbor
You see when I was not subscribed to all these groups, people forwarded stuff there about or against me.
So, those individuals should be kind enough to forward my request for research, too.
Has Greg Baitey forwarded my request to MINCAM that has a large Bamenda population?
Has Mishe Fon forwarded my request to Mankon Forum as he used to do ?
Mankon is in Bamenda and all Mankon organizations and groups here send money to Bamenda.
BUT WHY AM I NOT SUSCRIBED TO MANKON FORUMS? DO YOU BLAME FOR THAT ?
Mr Agbor let us face facts. They unsubscribed me from groups that I am supposed to belong!
So, how am I supposed to contact them when I don't have their information? Even I contact them it will take forever before I get a call back.
I was not even supposed to be asking for information from Mankon group if I was first of all allowed to have access to their financial statements as a mankon man .
You see, we cannot alter the way society is supposed to function because the moment we start acting as if we have to over belabor research, then we are failing
In my other research, I email the Pastor of the Church I attend and other people. He simply referred me to another entity who has first hand information.
I met him and conducted my research perfectly well with no problem.
I cannot conduct a research on a US city without including a Cameroon city . So, we should be prepared because in the course of my research I will require maximum cooperation from groups, organization and individuals that I may consider useful for my research. For instance I am citing the Cameroon Professional Society in my research but I don't need to contact again because they have a credible website that can be cited with at least facts about their activities. But Mankon group's website is shallow and lack information on a lot of things. So, I cannot cite them unless they provide me with the financial statement showing how money they have remitted to Bamenda. That is the duty of Mishe Fon and it is his responsibility to assist me . I cannot spend the rest of my life begging for what belongs to me. That is injustice.
Public policy is all about research and writing . That is why I post some of my findings because it is not about me. It is for the public good and it will make no sense if I research Pakistan and the fail to write on Cameroon . This is what I mean by contextual analysis. My Professor know this about me because I would be misleading myself if I fail to factor Cameroon into the process.
When I am done with this SWOT Analysis on Bamenda, I will also post to everyone. I have nothing to hide and no harm intended except to gather the facts and state with my critique,response and recommendations.
I hope this is helpful
