How self-seeking Manyu elite deceive Biya

The Manyu CPDM whistle blowers and the
front line masquerades of the Biya’s regime are once more animating the
political space. The time has come again for the self-seeking individuals of
the crumbling empire, who after 34 years of dictatorial rule and economic
squander, are shamelessly telling the world that a country like Cameroon with
diverse cultures and very intelligent people will crash and subsequently cease
to exist after the reign of president Biya.
In
the battle for political positioning, it is but normal and accepted that the
Manyu CPDM could not afford to miss the CPDM train that is cruising around the
country, calling on president Biya to rule and live for ever. What I differ
sharply with my brothers of the CPDM in Manyu is that they give the impression
to the world that the Manyu man has lost focus and reasoning; he is very
uncivilized and untamed in such a way that he moves only in one direction like
a blind man.
The
CPDM political elite in Manyu are ludicrous in that they take the common man as
a mendicant, whose survival depends solely on the benevolence of those who hold
the purse. That is why they think that the Manyu people are too dull and blind
to see and draw the conclusion that Mr. Biya is tired and needs urgent rest.
That after serving the country for uninterrupted thirty-four years the
president can no longer inspire even an idiot, except perhaps those ass lickers
who are ever so desperate for privilege and power.
To
the best of my knowledge, without fear of contradiction, I can not remember any
forum where the sons and daughters of Manyu met and unanimously made any
minister their spokesperson. The political elite have made it a tradition that
once an individual is made minister, he arrogates to himself the title of the
spokesperson of the entire Manyu people. At times they make public
pronouncements without consulting the base, consequently, showing share
disrespect to the people they purport to represent.
The Manyu call and the question of
legitimacy
Manyu
Elements Cultural Association [MECA] is an association that was created to
conceive and carry out development projects in Manyu Division. The aim was to
assemble all the sons and daughters of Manyu to reflect and contribute to this
effect. The association is therefore apolitical. The founders of this important
organization were very conscious when they mentioned its apolitical nature in
its fundamental text.
It
has taken more than twenty years for the Manyu Hall to be at the level where we
find it today. This has been thanks to the personal efforts and financial
sacrifices of all the Manyu sons and daughters [including this writer],
irrespective of their social status, level of income and political opinion. The
Manyu man has never wholly or partially relied on the financial benevolence of
the CPDM impostors for the completion of the project. Endevours like this are
championed by elites of other places. Our brothers on the saddle have never
thought of organizing fund raising ceremonies so that they can invite their
political friends to help them complete the undertaking. On the contrary, they
are always present as guests in such ceremonies to help others develop their
areas. That is why ministers and directors from Manyu come and go but the hall
remains uncompleted for more than twenty years since the project was launched.
It
is in this hall, the sweat of the Manyu people who cut across the political
divide in Cameroon that the Manyu CPDM political heavy weights assembled and
read a declaration in the name of the entire Manyu people. Minister Mengot
Victor Arrey, who was the master of ceremony, told the world that the Manyu
people, elite, traditional rulers etc. are asking Mr. Biya to remain president
for life. What Mr. Mengot did was an official transformation of MECA Yaoundé in
to a Manyu cultural wing of the CPDM.
Have
the transferred their political base from Mamfe to Yaoundé? Otherwise why is it
that at the time when CPDM elites all over the country are rushing back home to
their various constituencies to send their hypocritical motions of support to
their president, asking him to continue working until he dies in office, the
Manyu CPDM bigwigs preferred to remain in Yaoundé to confiscate and transform
the Manyu Hall into a CPDM property? Are they not afraid of the wrath of the
people they cheated during the CPDM reorganization, where posts were sold and
others given to friends and relatives? Are these the people who can morally
pretend to speak on behalf of the people of Manyu?
HYPOCRITES WITH ANGELIC VOICES
In
an interview granted to Vision 4 T.V on the occasion of the celebration of her
59th birthday, Hon. Rose Abunaw [rtd] haughtily told the world that the CPDM is
a Manyu party and any son or daughter of Manyu who does not adhere to it is not
a Manyu child. What she failed to tell the world was whether she naturalized as
a Manyu child before she took a second mandate under the banner of the CPDM,
that is to say, she was from Garoua and not from Manyu when she was brought to
political limelight and propelled to parliament for the first time under the
N.U.D.P of Maigari Bello Bouba. She also failed to tell the world why and how
she has been politically eclipsed by her brothers of the Manyu CPDM because of
the tussle between Mamfe Central Sub-Division and Upper Banyang for the lone
parliamentary seat. Dear Hon. Rose why have you been abandoned today by the
CPDM, the Manyu party? At 59 you have retired from politics and you are having
a deserving rest, accompanied with all the respect that you are due. Why can’t
you distance yourself from those who are asking president Biya to take another
mandate at 84? Are you also a hypocrite even though you tell the world that you
have given your life to God and as an evangelist, you are no longer interested
in worldly things? Can’t you use your wisdom and calling as an anointed person
of God to tell your Manyu CPDM cohorts in their faces that the president needs
rest and that without him Cameroon will know prosperity, peace and fraternity
in the way it has never done for past 34 years?
It
is important to mention here that those who live in ivory towers can not
pretend to talk and decide on behalf of thousands of Manyu people who go for
months without portable water, electricity and simple medication. They have
taken the Manyu man as lamb to the slaughter house, an instrument of
manipulation and a laughing stock. The intelligent Manyu man can not expect any
miracle from a man who is eighty three years old, a very ripe age indeed for
retirement. If one goes to Mamfe today, one would hardly find people who are
eighty years old; they can be counted if ever they exist.
The
Akwaya man is one of the most unfortunate persons in Cameroon. After sixty
years of independence, he has never been treated as a Cameroonian. This is a
Sub- division that is totally cut-off from the rest of the country. It is the only sub- division where access to
it is through another country, i.e. Nigeria. Has the Akwaya man ever asked
himself the crime that he committed to the Biya regime that he cannot be
forgiven after thirty four years of economic and political abandonment and
retrogression? Have they ever questioned why Akwaya which is three times bigger
than the South Region has only one parliamentarian? Why the people of Akwaya do
not receive Cameroon TV and radio signals? Etc.
CONCLUSION
The
Manyu people are not a bunch of idiots that can be manipulated as the CPDM hawks
are trying to do. The ministers, directors and the sundry that signed the
Biya’s call do not represent an iota of the Manyu population. Those that
conceived and executed the ideas have sold their souls and did that for their
personal interest.
A
new page is being written in the history of Cameroon. Historians, chroniclers,
journalists and film makers are busy recording these events as they unfold. The
sycophants and ass lickers are cutting their own throats because very soon it
will be time for stock-taking and reckoning. Cameroonians should therefore be
prepared for the national dirge. When the moment comes; [which is not far from
now], the paradox of excessive wealth, pride and arrogance will be seen. During
this period, the majority of Cameroonians who have been deprived of a decent
living will be in a state of ecstasy, while the minority who have oppressed and
deprived the people of medical care, electricity and pipe born water will
abandon all their mansions, fleet of cars and sacks and motors of money that is
stolen and hidden on the roofs of their houses and flee for their lives. That
too is the paradox of life; for “no one should call himself great until the day
he carries his greatness with him to the grave, “said Dr. Faustus.
