Response to Mr. Akere Muna’s Declaration
While the world woke up one week ago in horror and shock at the state-sponsored massacre of unarmed citizens of SC/Ambazonia, formerly known as the British Trust Territories of Southern Cameroons, Lawyer Akere Muna, has been quietly and systematically bidding his time to declare his candidacy for president in LRC. The son of S.T. Muna, the former Vice President under the late president Admado Adhijo, declares to Cameroonians he intends to build a new republic that is united and based on zero tolerance for all the ismsknown to mankind (tribalism, nepotism favoritism). Sadly, he left out sectarianism, dictatorialism, and colonialism to name just a few. This shameless opportunistic move mocks the hundreds of SC who died while peacefully exercising the very political speak Mr. Muna claims he stands for now. Really!? Where have you been all our lives!? As a son of the soil, from Momo Division in the Northwest, Mr. Muna’s career flourished in the armpit of an intolerant dictatorial abusive genocidal regime and all forms of injustices Mr. Muna now claims he aspires to bring in this new republic. He has benefited as only a very few privileged SC have in such a system never once being disquieted by it. Not once, in his stellar civil service career did he challenge the Biya regime he claims is not built on the will of the people. It is not lost that in the wake of the tragedies meted on the people of SC, Mr. Muna’s conscience is just now being picked to see the ills of the regime.
The readers will note that in the past few months, Mr. Muna has released carefully crafted statements, offered measured statements during interviews during which he gave to Caesar what is his and to the rest theirs. It is not lost on the masses that these public pronouncements have all been carefully choreographed leading up this moment.
It is telling that the gentlemen touts his experience as member of the president’s panel of the African peer review mechanism – as a “…chairperson [has] given him pointed expertise in evaluating the government, political sectors of African countries…” It is hard to resist the knee jerked question, “what in God’s good green earth were his tangible results?” How did he bring his illustrious chairperson influence to bear on Mr. Biya and his government to create a just society, one that does not pry on unarm citizens, one that does not torture, abduct, maim, and brutally kill its own citizens using gunship helicopters? Before one is pointed to another position paper or interview, one speaks of results not paper skyscrapers written as a monument to failed democracies.
Nowhere in this declaration does the gentleman call his constituents attention, the Francophones or Anglophones for that matter, for whom he is largely pitching his candidacy, to the fact that this united country he hopes to make great deprives its people of their fundamental rights to free expression, free and unfettered access to information online, and paramount, right to self-determination. What deafness, hubris, worse paltry speech in search for votes? The people have spoken in no uncertain terms about the fork in the crossroads they wish to take. Their collective aspirations now bore in blood by the hundreds dead, many maimed, rendered refugees, and hundred more abducted daily and holed up in dungeons in LRC. As a son of the soil, and evidenced by the lack of connection with the people, the presidency sought is for others and not for your brothers. For that, we can only wish you luck.
In wishing you good luck, one wonders what part of the people’s aspirations does the good lawyer failed to see or get? For him we are to somehow believe and embrace his vision and hope that this time SCs are not going to be placed on the auction block for another cadre of LRC elites to purchase lock stock and barrel. We are not to believe the connivance of our own sons willing to purchase for themselves the rights of the privileged slave for another round of a 21st century colonization. That was the old. It is a new day, a new dawn. Bait and switch tactics are for the birds.
The Moses of the SC people might take an Israeli journey, but as circuitous as the journey might be, the path does not run through LRC. It runs to the unshakable fundamental and foundational truths that we are a people, a nation set on apart from LRC, and that after enduring decades of systematic annexation and near total annihilation believing as our parent did that we were partners in the failed construct dubbed Cameroon, SC/Ambazonia rise to fall no more and certainly not at the hands of another SC self-serving elite capitalizing on our trials.
The good lawyer is advice to run his race in LRC where it’s customary for those who create problems to orchestrate the solutions using the same untried false, and failed approaches and promises to remedy them. Recal LRC’s communications Minister’s solution offered live on Equinox TV? No army has ever killed anyone! He alone has the solution to the nation’s problems—annihilation of peaceful unarm protesters he calls terrorists?
Indeed, if this was a pivotal moment, it would go down in history as the more callous versions for having seized upon a propitious moment only to fail miserably for effect from a potential candidate. The gentleman’s declarations lacks the right resonance that acknowledges the cries of his people then or now. The blind see—the deaf hears the panoply of genocidal dog whistlers hurling a people into extinction. Against that background, his words ring hallow for no nation can be built anew on a foundation of falsities that feeds on the blood of innocence. As he declares platitudes of a Cameroon he wishes to build on the one hand, on the other, the distinguish son of the soil calls on the youths and women wailing at his feet to join their rapists and murderers for a new country. Even the hard harden, is an apologist when the situation meets his needs!
Mr. Akere, the aspiration of the people is to be free, free to express themselves, free from the tyranny of a colonizer, free to determine their destinies. The system of government upon which your vision lies has no room for peoples’ aspirations; it makes room only for masters and slaves. For if it did and we believe it could, as we speak, your first and only task NOW is to assiduously work to bring those collective aspirations to fruition.
God bless n keep us all!

wait Oohhhh, what are we even talking about. pls pls pls if there is no way forward can we stop all these things?? what is the way forward so called leaders?? what is the way forward am tired of reading this talks. let me see a message of sumtine being done n not Wat ever u r sendx to me.
This Barrister Muna man and Ms. Kah Walla, Dr. Munzu are such dishonest intellectuals that they appear as if they are practicing some type of witchcraft in which they required to give the hearts/bloods of their own brothers and sisters. They have systematically sent out videos and write-ups at every twist and turn in this liberation struggle positioning themselves for political gain. They have long been tuned out by most of us but are somewhat blindfolded or maybe just don’t get it. As dishonest as he is, he meets the no one criterion for the office of the president of lrc.
Is it not said that “if you want to know whether a fruit is good or bad you need to look no further than the tree from which it fell”.
A genocide is being committed in Southern Cameroon an this Muna just decided to add insult to injury? Where is his sense of empathy for the killed, brutalized and maimed?
Anyone surprise that the son of a Traitor is himself a Traitor? It runs in the blood. His father sold out Southern Cameroons for personal gain. He is following his father ‘s steps.
Just as you said, a Traitor is a Traitor whether as president of not.
Amba: You beat me on the word I was going to use and I will use it anyway: “Traitor!” This son of the worst traitor in African history. I want to slap this man, with his rotten teeth and smelly mouth! This ugly son of a traitor’s traitor father was not a man of honor. He was supposed to be president after Ahidjo, in accordance with LRC laws. However, he was openly cheated and Biya illegally became president in his place because he was Ambazonian. Yet, he had no pride and showed no pride to do what any Ambazonian would have done, quit! He shamelessly stayed there and like my primary school teacher told us, became a curtain dresser. It was due to market dogs like S.T. Muna that the total disrespect of Ambazonians peaked. He served in shsame, just for a salary. He did not care about his people and their pride and honor. Now his ugly son, I want to slap him so badly, that I will do anything possible to get close to him in my life time and give his a left hook and knock him out. Sisiku is our president and you have just taken advantage of my citizenship levy for your personal gain, please stay in LRC because if I catch you, you will die!
This make me feel good. These Munas are a devil sent curse to us Ambazonian.
To who is he talking to?
He can run and be the president of LRC or heaven, who cares.
One thing is certain, WE the Ambazonians of this generation will not sit by and allow him to do to us what his dad did to us, it will not repeat itself. We will fight for ever.
All the blood money their father took and him too is now coming back at them. It’s pay time Bro. LRC need your blood and only yours will they feast on this time. Face it alone, stop releasing video after video to us as if you are one of us, You are not one of us and you are not our leader.
I wish you all the best My next precedent of LRC, his excellency Akere Muna.
Like hell, Crazy Munas.
This family is nothing than a curse to SC. They cannot even correct the blunder and burden(politics of egoism)their father caused to SCians. Today, we are in all this SHIT because of the MUNA & FONCHA. Can he A. Muna serve his country like his friend does in Ghana?
Muna should be ashamed. Standing for presidency for a country which is suppressing his own people. He has lost all his connections to Southern Cameroonians. I am wondering who is going to vote for him. In Ambazonia will be no election. And East Cameroun don’t trust anglophones. Anyway Biya will manipulate again.
Is this dementia or what. I dont think can even win to be a head boy any where.He is out of touch or just working hard to sell SC like his dad. This name which i dont wanna call is gradually being deleted in the minds of SCs.
You think that the declaration of the independence of southern Cameroons is a joke right,maybe you waant to be the president of lrc which you can go ahead if that is your intentions.But if you are thinking about southern Cameroons too, then oga you must be sleeping so you better wake up and start putting. Your old self together,southern Cameroonians do not need old men like you to lead them. Opportunist this generation know what they are looking for in their leaders and I don’t. Think you have that.Go and tell your dad that this time things are different you occultic blood suckers.The blood Of all the fallen heroes in Southern Cameroons is upon your heads idiots
Aketre should use his lawyer skills to free all Ambazonians, abducted and imprisoned. He should also ask for reparations for those maimed and murdered in cold blood. I went to bilingual Grammar School in Man ‘O War Bay, I remember him being driven from Buea to school in government vehicles and gendarmes. He never stayed in dormitories like the rest of us. Needless to say, I was top of the class, he was nowhere to be seen. I know real lawyers in North America, I don’t know what kind of cushy Law he took. If he were serious, he would be helping Foley Hoag Law firm and, be reducing our legal costs. We are independent now with a governing council, larepublique is about to crumble, no schools, SEVERE PRESSURE from the international community, No World Cup, frogs and their army are falling apart, no investments, therefore no African Cup of Nations, no tourists, Americans being abducted so definitely NO PRESIDENTIAL elections. What is Akere positioning himself for? you will never have a POLITICAL POSITION EVER AGAIN. Go practice law in London if you can get a job.
Yes my brother you are right. We do not need to look too far, this lawyer is an authentic copy of his father, and if we are not careful himself, Kahwalla and company will be those to complete extinguish this struggle. These are people who have been talking to nobody other than to themselves.
Agreed. All those selfish politicians. We are finished with them. Serving only their pockets and not the people.
Ni Akere. A bere Maths?
I think this move is simply a dissappointment and disastrous from someone we hoped could significantly help us attain a sustainable solution.
May be someone needs to recount to him again where we are coming from and where we are heading to.
Where for God’s sake is the place you’re giving your brothers in such an ambition? Once it was said and it still holds “Un Anglophone ne peut jamais être président de LRC” However what’s our business with LRC. We are no longer “Anglophones” but Southern Cameroonians.
The Southern Cameroonains are resolute. No turning back! In the words of H.E Sisikou, “No one is bigger than the struggle and any who tries to betray the struugle shall be thrown under the bus”.
Fuck all of you.
There is no country called ambazonia.
You will be held responsible for all the youths not going to school while yours are busy gathering knowledge.
Fuck off
I pity you if you can spread only hatred.
Thank’s very much for hating us, We love you because of that.
We Ambazonians will never hate you, but we will fight your perversion, mental illness, savagery, barbarism, primitivity, retardation, evil, …
Please just keep hating us, that way, it alone kills you form within.
Have a very nice day, slave boy.
This is probably one of the Munas.
If there is no country called Ambazonia, then, why are you here?
Bravo Akere Muna
You are the right person as candidate.
You have my vote already
