When I see the way Anglophone Cameroonians in the National Assembly unite to fight against the Freedom of the Southern Cameroonian people, I wonder if truly their placentas came out and were buried in the Southern Cameroon soil. To think of the fact that, the key champions of this unprecedented outburst of blockade to the struggle is coming from the remaining breed of persons who were born within the time such an error was committed, and even partook in committing this error, breaks down my heart.
Then when I see my own fathers championing the course and making authoritative statements such as “Retired civil servants especially those who occupied influential positions like ambassadors are alleged to either belong to the Southern Cameroons National Council, SCNC or bankrolling that movement in order to be reappointed in the government.” Lives me confused if they are truly my fathers.
That these are the same remaining breed that have caused our present state of standstill in all walks of economic, social and political life, makes me shiver in pain yet some of us as youths do not see anything wrong in it worth criticizing but we have vehemently decided to follow their foot-steps by praising the beats my imaginations.
That some of us youths have directly or indirectly excluded ourselves from being part of this struggle for Liberation, and have started campaigning to be Parliamentarians and Senators and even Presidents in the same political dispensation makes me think aloud. Where are you campaigning to? To become what? So that you will do what? when your anscetral origin is threatened extinction.... Can't you think? If you cannot think of anything atleast think of the Life of your Children after you die. If it can be this hard on you to get through how much of them in this more complex and comlicated world...I'm talking to you brother think... I mean you should have a re-think.
I therefore place before you two options:
1. I know some of us are afraid it wouldn’t be a success but nothing defeats fear so badly than fear itself. I can assure you this might be the last trough that will break the camels back. Judgment day is near. Don’t wait for it to come before you have a rethink. So I urge you to kill that doubt and fear in you and join me and others in this path of Liberation for there if joy in freedom.
2. In the fullness of time, when we will all pass away, we shall be faced with this question “What did you do while staying on earth to help free your people from the hands of the devil” and we shall reply “I was just doing what my fathers were doing before me” Then we shall get the verdict of our statement from the mighty Judge of Judges.
The greatest gift God has given mankind is the power to make our own choices. Think now to rest tomorrow. God bless you youth.
