Now that they’re in Yaounde
I can now with all humility apologise to all who listened to me declare with conviction and faith, that, given the barbaric and inhumane way that Cameroon has treated Anglophones, since this crisis began, Nigeria will never surrender the faces of the uprising to Yaounde.
I even extolled the independence of the Nigerian judiciary, its strong civil society organizations and strong independent press. All of which are absent in Cameroon. Today,I must confess that, I am a kind of disoriented even though with a linings of hope that, for all the bravado inherent from Yaounde, they now know Anglophones meant business and worse, it is not over. The boxer is on the canvas, but will rise to keep fighting.
I held Abuja in high esteem, but I forgot three things: the extraordinarily intricate bond that both countries have forged, especially in the fight against Boko Haram, that Mohamadou Buhari, even though he has put on the clothes of a liberal Democrat, at the core,he is a dictator, who considers Southern Cameroonian nationalists as nuisance at par with the Biafran nationalists and finally, the venal nature of some officials of the so-called giant of Africa,was forgotten in my enthusiasm.
Am disappointed, but on the other hand, the less triumphant nature of Yaounde is equally intriguing. Why was the usually loquacious Communications minister so civil? Did they take some advice from Paris and Washington or even from Abuja with her “No Victor No vanquish” policy, enunciated by Yakubu Gowon after the Nigerian civil war? Only time will tell, but if the statement from the Nigerian playwright, Wole Soyinka, is any guide, a leopard doesn’t change its spots.
One thing is clear, until Yaounde is humble enough to seek for a lasting solution to the Anglophone crisis, peace unity and stability Cameroon will remain a wishful thinking. The uprising which is entering its second year, is not an ordinary political affairs. It has to do with the future of a people who consider themselves as hoodwinked by those they thought were their brothers and sisters.
To a majority, there’s no turning back. It’s time to correct a historic wrong. Extradition and certainly eventual prosecution of Anglophone leaders won’t put an end to the problem, they are mainly cosmetic measures with no long term goals. This means that, it is bound to unravel into a major escalation.

Brother Elie, you do not need to apologize for anything. This just confirms the duplicity of the human being.
This is no bravado, for if this Beti thug and his kinsmen are salivating now, they will soon realize that they just made the biggest political blunder Africa has ever seen. President Sisiku Ayuk and some of his cabinet members in Yaounde; so what? Mancho Bibixy and the rest have been in Yaounde for how long? How has that intimidated the people? On the contrary, the determination of the people has reached epidemic proportion.Someone is still to tell the world how you can have someone try to force you to share the same room with them. It will never happen; period. The IP and others have sacrificed so much and then this type of madness?
Ambalanders, talk is cheap. This is the time to stop all this unnecessary talk and dig deep in our pockets. This is the moment of truth.
Mr. Smith,
No need to apologize. The recent events have been a moment of clarity for us. Dialogue is a joke. We will dialogue in the equitoral forest. Our diplomacy will take place in the equitoral forest. La Republique send your delegation of BIR.
The Geneva Convention is as worthless as animal conversion. International Human Rights Laws do not exist.
Now we know what the international community thinks about us.
Nigeria should look for other means to get its product to La Republique. Forget about the Mamfe-Ekok road. Forget about the river ports.
We are ready for the challenge. If it takes 1000 years so be it. We will bankrupt La Republique in Ambazonian. Mark my words.
@Amba you are a fool and your words meant nothing. We lost this fight because of people like you. It’s too easy to sit back and have other people kids die. The only way forward is dialogue whether you like it or not.
Jojo , it is needless for me to say you your comment has just indicated in my phone that you are a constant and perpetual idiot
Jojo, you could also contribute to the conversation without throwing in insults. That would be more productive.
JoJo is an paid troll of LRC. Don’t answer them.
Jojo, is a paid troll. You lost because you lost your identity.
Dialogue with who and for what?
You are one of those paid to inflict psychological torment. Keep doing. You think someone is not watching? Wait a minute. Remember, whatever you sow, you will reap.
You lost not me or Ambazonians. When you lie on your deathbed someday, you will remember all the comments you placed on this site.
Southern Cameroon was doing well
What happened to Funade? They took it to Yaounde, changed it to Credit Agricole and then bankrupt it.
What happened the Yoke Hydroelectric Dam that powered the whole of Southern Cameroon?
What happened to PWD?
When you push someone to the wall for so long, there is no place else to go, but to spring back.
Keep trying to say we lost, you lost not Ambazonians. The fight continues.
By the end of this revolution, it will be known that:
1) LRC could not stop us–the only political gambling that Biya’s regim failed to accomplish through bribery, corruption etc
2) France could not stop us–leading to an end of France post colonialism over Africa.
3) Even UN could not stop us….leading to the discovery that UN is the real Acadia, boKo harrams that that must be casted out from every nation that wants to enjoy true peace, economic and political democracy such as our nation Ambazonia.
My Postulate on our extradited leaders in yaounde:
1a) LRC will convince them to sign for regional federation
1b) our leaders will refuse
1c) LRC will use the bribed UN to convince them sign for federation 1d) our leaders will refuse.
2) UN will then disguis behind LRC to force our leaders under gun point to sign the above. But to no avail.
1e) UN will then ask them to sign for a referendum. But to no avail.
We don’t need the humbleness of terrorist, slave master, colonizers, savages, land thieves, rapist, hijackers, murderers, …
We got the message of the whole world, from Nigeria to the UN, all these demonic institutions.
We are not scare of non of You. If You where relevant, you had did something. The fact the YOU all did nothing ever since, don’t you dare tell us anything when we start killing, for blood is going to flow, don’t you dare.
We are all along and we will fight, we will fight and kill, it is our only way our, nothing can stop us.
Not Nigeria, not the UN, not the AU, not the CW, not France, not England, not crazy tiny insignificant politically retarded LRC.
Long live The Federal Republic of Ambazonia, The Revolution continues.
We are on our own. so, we need to face the bull by the horn, it is not time to go back to our past,we have come a long way,yes too long to go back. so woe we have accepted and for that we shall fight. Let the French people know we are not terrorist, not separatist,neither are sessionist but we are fighting for the land that is our inheritance,a land that we are proud to call home.no international conspiracy shall stop us.God knows about it.
Dear Mark Bareta: are our leaders really in Yaounde?
The struggle continues more intensively no matter what
What the Biya regime and most francophone colonial slaves have not understood it is a peoples struggle. Yes, they have taken some of our leaders hostage. Will that stop us? No. We will get to Buea. Victory and only victory. FUND THE LOCAL DEFENSE
Don’t rush to conclusion. The leaders are not in LRC. Do not buy into what comes out of the mouth Isa Chiruma. If they had them they would have made a show out of it.
