One thing that I am hearing from Mr. Young's report that sits well with me is the fact that ".... the move has galvanized wonderful solidarity between the lawyers
and the teachers."
and the teachers."
Folks,we have to beef up the pressure on the chameleons from Yaounde. It hurts my heart to learn that it is a Francophone who is negotiating the fate of Anglophones in Bamenda!
Here is what Mr. Young wrote: "The Francophone man directed us on what to write and Dr. Fontem became the Secretary. The PM's man wanted us to make a timeline of activities which consisted of creating what he called Institutional Framework."
What the hell is 'institutional framework?' People are dying, hospitals are devoid of basic supplies, university graduates are driving bendskin or okada in order to put bread on the table, kids lack benches and chalk in classrooms, roads are dead traps, and here comes an asshole asking Anglophones on their soil to create an institutional framework! No wonder ALL FRANCOPHONES IN CAMEROON CALL ALL ANGLOPHONES "LES BAMENDA" meaning we are all idiots! I have documented this in one of my books titled NO LOVE LOST, LANGAA(2009)
Fellow Anglophones: What transpired at Ayaba Hotel yesterday is a slap in all our faces! Look, we don't have time for this bullshit any more! We have kowtowed to the dictates of moronic Francophones for more than 6 decades! Enough is enough! It's time to go our separate ways. The unholy marriage has failed irreparably. Read my articles below and let's act in unison.

Dear Mr. Itoe,It seems to me you believe that we are a people, a country that was invaded by LRC. So what federation are you really suggesting? I believe we can stop confusing things.

The visit of the Prime Minister to Bamenda is not our quest. He Cannot
solve our Problem. Mr. Paul Biya of La Republique du Cameroun is an
INVADER. Nothing More, Nothing Less.
Let the Prime Minister and the Parliamentarians Pass an EMERGENCY
Bill to the Parliament asking for Federation or Secession !!!
This is what is required before the La Republique swallow our Common
Law System and our Educational System.
Federation of Secession.... Pass this Bill to the Parliament before
the 30th November 2016.
Anglophones are not Dogs, We have our Pride... We Own our Heritage.
Let the Parliament vote for this Bill... No School... No Court....
Lets Settle this long timing Differences... The Solution for the Next
Generations is to ACT Today.
