Mr. Victor Mengot's message is ill-timed and anarchous but is a pointer to what has to happen between us.
This struggle started as lawyers' and teachers' strikes and has now gone beyond their particular demands to include the the whole anglophone problem; marginalization and a calculated abandonment of the terms of the union by successive government regimes. With the federation having failed us and décentralisation a huge disappointment and that has reduced the Anglophones to second class citizens and at worst cycophants in their own land. This is why separation or secession instead of the 2 state federation, has gained traction and bold, devoted anglophones, be they from the NW or SW, are standing up to make the case. This isn't about who is leading who and who is dominating where. But as we come together as one SC we should not be dismissive of Mr. Victor Mengot's idea that both NW and SW would have to sit and discuss the nature and functionality of any prospective governmental structure for SC. While I admit that it's premature to talk about this, it's not hurtful to think about it and to bring it up. After all, we have all smelled domination and marginalization and know it's sconky odor.
-- Nonetheless Mr. Mengot injection is troubling because it's timing has the potential to sow discord. His reference to the Chiefs Conference and their request for a ten state federation is trivial because the Chiefs both in the SW and NW have been a huge disappointment to the people they are supposed to lead. They're more concerned about the salary they are getting from the government and have chosen to either be docile or worse still work with the regime to brutalized their own people and subject them to abandon the course. Otherwise, let the chiefs and the fons hold their conferences now and proclaim their stance and demands to the administration.
Enjoy your New Year in reflection.

What a cowardly approach in the light of the seriousness of the situation.

Objet: Rép : THE HIDDEN AGENDA OF THE NORTH WESTERNERS!!!!
Répondre à: Victor Mengot <arreymengot@yahoo.fr>VERY VERY IMPORTANT: THE HIDDEN AGENDA. We all acclaimed the common law lawyers and anglophone teachers for the battle to right the wrongs in the marginalisation of anglophones. However, i am beginnibg to get worried when i hear some northwesterners address the southwesterners as " too slow", "weak people", etc. Why should we the people from the north west region with a culture quite at variance with that of the south westerners think that they must behave like us. Why are we from the north west having such a domineering attitude? We have now turned the fight for anglophone lawyers and teachers to a demand for secesion. The people from the south west,following the communique from the chiefs conference are for a ten federated states according to the 1996 constitution. With our domineering attitude and our overwhelming majority we are seemingly looking for a way to rule over the south westerners as the francophones have ruled over us. I as a north westerner see this as super greed and wickedness. We have seen that all the prominent trade union leaders are from the north west. This is not a coincidence. It is simply because we want to always dorminate the south westerners in every aspect of the word. Why did they abandon the talks? It was because they realised in total consternation that it was a purely north west affair. And in pretencee they claimed they cannot continue with the talks if their south west brothers are not there. SHAME! SHAME!
