The Hall of
SHAME!

Hall of Shame Mission Statement
This site is dedicated to expose those shameful
people who think they can lie, cheat, steal and violate the principles of
basic humanity and remain anonymous. As you are aware, my involvement
 with
Cameroon began through the glazed eyes of a tourist. After a sham marriage
and the loss of my life savings to the corrupt judiciary, I now see the
plight of Cameroonians through much clearer eyes. It is through fiercely
protected anonymity, by those involved, that corruption heads down its
unbending path. These are the same people sitting in the pew next to you
in church on Sundays, who are stealing the food from your mouth and your
children’s education on Mondays. I say, lets take a look at these people
and let them enjoy the sleepless nights that they inflict upon others.
Exposure of these peoples' acts of shame is the strongest tool to drive
others away from these evil practices.
Is Cameroon so far down the toilet bowl of
corruption that it is beyond help? I think not, but the fact that many
wear their crimes as medals to their cleverness, and worse, that others
aspire in the same way to achieve like goals is a mentality worthy of
standing against.

Dear Fellow Corruption Haters,
I’m never surprised by the mail that passes
my desk each month, nor that the content of the mail changes very
little. Cameroon Embassy stories keep popping up
in shameful circumstances, usually at that very first point of
contact for potential tourists. Also corruption stories abound, but
without any possibility to investigate and charge the likes of Paul,
Chantal & Frank Biya, Cameroon's anti-corruption farce continues. This
month we also have some light entertainment for the boxing fans with
a Heavyweight match organized between 2 of Fako’s finest Barristers.
(Scroll down for the details). A new feature at the bottom of the
page is “Chantal’s Beauty Tips”. Check out the latest fashions tips
from Cameroon's 2nd 1st lady!
A volume of mail has been received describing
current Cameroon based 419’s. Want to buy a monkey?, perhaps a
puppy, or maybe get that big contract? Just send some money through
Western Union! "Ha,…when will they learn?" I’m tiring of
the replies from people who’ve been scammed and actually think there is some
rule of law or accountability in Cameroon. I try not to laugh, but
how can they understand the extent to which the society is
corrupted. Could they even believe that a person like Paul Biya
exists? “Not in real life”, they say! I try to give them good
information so they don’t get caught twice. Below are a couple of
links you might like to view that contain well presented current information
on scams and how to avoid them.

Ayaba Cho Lucas was
born in August, 1972, in the former German colonial reservoir -
and later British failure - called Southern Cameroons. He
studied chemistry in the university of Buea before his expulsion
in 1995 for anti-government activities. He is currently
Secretary General of the separatist movement, the Southern
Cameroons Youth League (SCYL). He escaped arrest in the
Cameroons in 1998, and now lives in Germany as a refugee.
Book Review "NOT
GUILTY" by Ayaba Cho Lucas
 From
the Inside Flap
Not Guilty is the journey of a black refugee through the complex
and restrictive economic centre of fortress Europe as seen
through the eyes of one person. It recounts my daring escape
from the enemy’s seaport, spending thirty days in a ship loaded
with stolen African timber, as I braved the banging and roaring
waves of the Atlantic Ocean on my way into exile. Germany tried
to break my will, discounted my dignity, and imprisoned me for
sixteen days when I stood my ground seeking this illusion called
freedom. The ship saved my life, but Germany took my dream
hostage. Like millions of others who seek respite on this
continent, I faced denigration from man-made laws. The
instrument of oppression wasn’t limited to carefully crafted
legislation like the residence obligation law. The German
police, a relic of Hitler’s notorious Schutzstaffel (SS), are
the most visible instrument of state oppression that refugees in
general, and blacks in particular, have to face. This book
relates the brutality of the German police and of the club
wielding neo-Nazis angry for having lost the war. It analyses
the fear and insecurity of the Europeans and the rage and
brutality with which they continue to prey on their victims.
The Escape.
Read more about the Air France rescue of a Southern Cameroons
deportee, the planning, fears and execution of a daring move
that took 15 minutes getting me into Air France Boeing 737 and
back out. Read more about this rich experience as an African
refugee in a Country that holds we should be grateful for its
racist and right oriented policies.
75 %
of the proceeds of this book shall be put into the Southern
Cameroons struggle.

Glenn's Book Review
I
purchased this book thinking I’d be reading a detailed story of
tortures, Cameroon prisons, the victimisation of Southern
Cameroonians at the hands of the Biya government and a nail
biting escape. I quickly realised I’d misjudged when the opening
chapter began with an escape plot in full swing. I wondered if
the writer would digress through later chapters to his
experiences as a Southern Cameroon
 activist
in the Republic of Cameroon. The honest & earthy prose took me
on a journey that hopefully I will never take myself. Reading
the story from cover to cover non-stop, I was in admiration of
the human spirit and perseverance shown by the writer. I
recommend this story as a must read to anyone who thinks
refugees once landed in a foreign country have found their milk
& honey, or to anyone thinking of taking the journey. What won
me over most was the level headedness, courage and intelligence of
the writer. Maybe there is hope for Cameroon in the future if
this is a guide to the quality of the next generation.

Cameroon’s Paul Biya ranked one of the
three worst tyrants in Africa!
Cameroon’s President Paul Biya has been ranked one of the three worst
dictators in sub-Saharan Africa and one of the world’s worst 20. Mr. Biya is ranked with only two others in sub-Saharan Africa: Robert
Mugabe and King Mswati of Swaziland. The ranking appears in David
Wallechnisky new book: Tyrants, the world's 20 worst living
dictators, Regan Press, 2006, pp. 286-290. Mr. Wallechinsky a
historian, has worked as a commentator for the America television
network, the NBC and is author of several reference books.
Wallechnisky describes Cameroon's electoral process in these terms:
"Every few years, Biya
stages an election to justify his continuing reign, but these
elections have no credibility. In fact, Biya is credited with a
creative innovation in the world of phoney elections. In 2004,
annoyed by the criticisms of international vote-monitoring groups,
he paid for his own set of international observers, six ex-U.S.
congressmen, who certified his election as free and fair."
Since 2003, Wallechnisky has been writing an annual article for
Parade magazine, ranking the 10 worst dictators currently in power.
Now he has expanded the list and written a book on the subject,
referred to above.
 This classification comes in the wake of another publication ranking
Cameroon among the five worst countries in the world in terms of
governance, the other countries being Iraq, Chad, Somalia, Zimbabwe
and Romania. The information is contained in a Governance Perception
Index, a survey carried out at Harvard University led by Professor
Robert Rotberg, of Kennedy School of Government and President, World
Peace Foundation. Harvard is of the world’s best Universities.
Transparency International ranked Cameroon one of the most
corrupt
countries in the world. The latest ranking puts Cameroon at number
138 out of 163 countries. Other credible reports by United Nations
agencies, US State Department, Amnesty International and others
carry similar evidence of the abysmal state of governance and human
rights in Cameroon. Instead of dismissing all these evidence as
fallacy or burying our heads in the sand in the hope that things
will change, all those with a stake in the country need to wake up
to reality and do something about it.
As Cameroon prepares for local elections next year, it is worth
pointing out that until the government allows for free and fair
elections, the country will never get out of poverty. Free and fair
elections can only come about through an independent electoral
management process in accordance with the Durban Declaration etc.
The government has to realise that Cameroon’s present image of a
badly governed state means it will always be difficult to attract
appropriate and substantial external investment to create jobs and
eradicate poverty. As
patriotic as anyone will like to be, it is almost impossible to mask
the true state of affairs - the amount of credible information in
the public domain pointing to our country’s lack of good governance
is enormous and there is a
need for those in power to wake up to this by setting up a truly
independent electoral commission and the rest will follow.

Kumba’s Quagmire!
I phoned a friend in Kumba recently, and asked
him that usual question. “How’s Kumba”?
 Before I finished asking the question I already
knew the reply would be the same one I’d heard many times
previously. “The roads are bad” came the reply, with more than a
touch of frustration revealing itself in his voice. Having travelled
to Kumba on several occasions myself, it wasn’t hard to visualize
what my friend was talking about. With the rains comes the isolation
from impassable roads. Even in the dry, the back wrenching and jolting
that comes from any vehicle attempting to manoeuvre through endless
potholes and ruts, must make even the most docile of passengers wish
they could get their hands around the throat of one of those
thieving ministers or contractors who’ve several times over stolen
the monies to repair the road. The condition of transport routes in
and out of Kumba are choking what was once a thriving city. Through
it’s inability to trade, Kumba has turned into what today could best
be described as a Wild-West town
The norm is that contracts are routinely inflated
for personal gains, executed only in part, if at all.
What Cameroon needs most is the determination to prosecute those
people caught stealing and mismanaging public funds. But with the
people responsible for the prosecution of such criminals, being the
one’s themselves involved in all facets of theft and corruption,
Kumba’s population can continue to look forward to remaining locked up like
prisoners by the glutinous mud that closes the roads each wet
season.
Chantal Biya Foundation Adoption Scam
One of the most recent scams doing the rounds at
the moment is an adoption scam using the Chantal Biya Foundation.
Calling itself the “Mercy Family” and using the name “Nora Osbourne”
as the
 representing attorneys, the scammers offer to adopt out
Cameroonian children through the Chantal Biya Foundation. The catch
is the demand for $700 to arrange papers for the adoption. How
brazen these criminals are, preying on childless couples and quite
happy to use the name of the 1st lady of Cameroon to facilitate this
scam. Cameroonian authorities are aware of this scam, and hopefully
with international pressure and Chantal Biya’s wish to protect her
name, the criminals will be caught and a stop put to this callous
scam
Buyer beware!
I have the impression some people like the
torture of being scammed. Since I started this website I've had a
great number
of emails asking for help. These people have been ripped off with
all type of scams…….buying monkeys, reptiles, orders for thousands
of laptops, and phones. Oh!, and there were hundreds of people in
Europe and USA ripped off by ‘buying’ live butterflies! How about
studying the life cycle of butterflies! Research where Cameroon is!
And to sell computers they must have a French keyboard, and be
loaded with Windows in French, and use the French voltage system.
 Are people so dumb that they don’t realise live
creatures must be carried in a pressurised cargo hold, and there are
all sorts of regulations? – it’s a crime in most countries to trade
in wildlife. There’s the complication of quarantine, vaccination,
and freight, which is very expensive for live animals….a 7 hour
flight for a horse/zebra/camel, costs $48,000 plus the
quarantine and vaccinations.
So how can people ignore all the above, and the
fact that they are committing a crime, and believe this can all
happen for say $800- $1,000? Dumb and dumber sounds appropriate. And
of course West Africa isn’t next door, a document costs up to $400
to send to Australia. Idiots beware, keep your money safe and forget
the romantic idea of a monkey running around the house. In fact that
would be very hard to control, if legal - do you take it to the
movies with you? What about bed ? Does it attack your lover ? Is
your name Michael Jackson?
Oh! and men, she doesn’t love you, she just
wants your money, and is most likely a teenage boy working in a
sweatshop internet café. …..Glenn.
Cameroon Embassies at it again!
There always seems to be a lot of monotonous talk
from the Ministers, talking up tourism & investment. We all know
it’s a load of hogwash, but what about the unsuspecting investor or
tourist? Over the last couple of months I’ve received several
complaints on the conduct of embassy staff. A recent flurry of mail
concerning the UK Cameroon embassy caused me to investigate the
allegations further. When the embassy is the first point of contact
for most tourists or investors, any behaviour less than exemplary is
damaging to the country.
When r eports come back, stating that the
Ambassador in London is extremely rude and abrupt with potential
customers and tourists, it is disheartening for Cameroonians who
would like to see their country move ahead of it’s heavily tarnished
image. The reports stated that the Ambassadors name was Josephine
and the experience was common amongst UK tourists to Cameroon. When
I investigated the website seeking the ambassadors full name and
also following up reports of a sub standard website
(remembering
this is the Cameroon Embassy in London), my computer was
attacked by viruses at every click of the mouse. Needless to say,
after 3 clicks I backed out of there very quickly. Not in 4 years on
the web have I come across such a shoddy website, and no, the
ambassadors name was nowhere to be seen. We’ve already been over the
dismal experience most people have had with the Washington embassy
in the U.S. in previous newsletters.
When will Paul Biya see fit to put in place ambassadors who have a love for their
country and not just the love of living outside Cameroon, while
stuffing as much misappropriated money into their bank accounts as
they can? Yes,…we all know the answer is “Not while Paul Biya is in
power”. To all those Cameroonians who talk about national pride,
what a shameful job your overseas government staff is doing for you.

Harsh Taxes Impede Business In Cameroon - World Bank
A report by the World Bank and the International Financial

US Ambassador Says Corruption Scares Investors From Cameroon
US Ambassador to Cameroon H.E Niels Marquardt has said corruption
and bureaucratic bottlenecks scare away foreign investors from
Cameroon. Diagnosing the miasma in Cameroon's investment

the country that is endowed with rich natural and human potentials
to resource-poor countries like Benin, Madagascar, Mali, Rwanda and
Burkina Faso because of corruption.

A businessman starting a 300.000.000frs cfa venture in Cameroon
is seriously mistaken, in ten years, his capital will
deteriorate/wipe out to 100.000.000frs cfa. So where has
200.000.000frs cfa gone to? Why has the capital not doubled? The capital of 200.000.000frs cfa will be sucked by the
unregulated, uncontrolled financial structures of Cameroon's
economy. The dubious tax inspectors, unaccounted custom regulations,
inability to get credits locally, lack of a viable investment
banking facility, poor infrastructure (roads, electricity, water,
security) to push the business forward, and politicians monitoring
his allegiance to favour or kill. If he is favoured after incurring
such loss, rather than cut his losses and pull out, he will have to
stay and follow the illegal, illicit practice of not paying taxes,
supporting the system, becoming a jack of all trade, then suddenly
he lands one of those ministry contracts raised his 200.000.000 frs
cfa without doing the job properly. He's gone to Cameroon to do
business and ended a contractor with no trace. Can you name just one
viable small /medium size company, that does business in Cameroon
obeying all the regulations and making a headway, that does not
belong to somebody of the system?
The truth is the system eroded their capital. Cameroon is not an
investment conscious economy, the system is not design for genuine
investors. The Police Force is Cameroon is so robustly steeped in
corruption, whatever structures are put in place could be brought to
a standstill were they to meddle.

Ondo Ndong Charged with Embezzling 29 Billion FCFA
This is just a tip of the iceberg. The truth is, there
are billions of stolen funds from La Republique in
offshore bank a ccounts and in major European banks.
There are several young citizens of La Republique in
strategic positions in that corrupt junta who are
billionaires with millions of dollars and hidden
investments in several other countries. Several ghost
projects completed exist in files in different
ministries. Funds for such projects have been diverted
to individual pockets. Embezzlement of public funds is a
culture of La Republique. (Readers comment)

Justice Marie Noah
Ebella of the Mfoundi High Court, November 20, narrated

‘Save My Wife’ [A Snapshot of Cameroon's Health

YOKADOUMA, Cameroon: Prudence Lemokouno was lying
motionless on a bed in the bleak hospital here, her
stomach swelled with a fetus that had just died, her
eyes occasionally flickering with fright but mostly dull
and empty. Dr. Pascal Pipi, the lone doctor in the
public hospital, said she had a few more hours to live,
and then she would join the half-million women a year
who die around the world in pregnancy and
 childbirth.

Saddam Hussein.
Love or Hate the man, he is a father and
husband to his kids and wives. Power corrupts and absolute
power corrupts absolutely. The fate that befell Saddam was
the making of the Christian religious right and red neck
zombies in the West. The claim that he had WMD turns out to
be phoney and yet we stay the course. His sons were killed
like buffalos in the wild and yet they were paraded on TV
like some twisted face dolls with blood stains. In Africa
speaking ill of the death is considered disrespect to their
souls, but the Husseins were no saints and neither was the
Red neck that ordered the invasion of his country.
The
 lesson of his down fall should serve
as a warning to dictators around the world; and I hope that
idiots like Paul Biya of Cameroun, Omar Bongo of Gabon, Umar
El Bashir of Sudan not leaving out Robert Mugabe and the
host of other tyrants will be on their guard.
In Cameroon, the genuine struggle by the
English speaking Cameroonians for nationhood has been met
with harassment, torture, intimidation, rape, extrajudicial
killings, endless imprisonment, target killings and witch
hunts. How can a man like Paul Biya be allowed to walk the
earth? If Bush really needs Weapons of Mass Destruction,
then he should look no further than Etoudi where Paul Biya
is hiding. We have a Headache of State who orders his
Gendarmes to kill innocent people during peaceful
demonstration; arrest and imprisoned journalists for
questioning his health; denies Amnesty International visas
to visit Cameroonians jails; keeps concentration camps in
the name of 'Kondengui maximum prison', blacklist folks for
holding a different political ideology such as myself listed
on the National Gazette; Appoints clansmen into cabinet
positions; kill moslems for rising against him; is friends
with the murderous Lamido of Rey Bouba and protects him from
judicial inquiries; Invades and Occupies the Southern
Cameroons; Kills Nigerian traders in Bakassi peninsular;
Sell-out all the natural resources to the French and indebts
every new born baby till the year 2090; destroy the natural
habitat by planting a bomb in lake Nyos with catastrophic
consequences; Denies his people a right of choice in
leadership by rigging elections; and above all managing his
country like a mercenary from France.
Saddam may be gone but there are worst
leaders in the face of the earth. The copycats of Saddam
will one day face the wrath of the people and I hope Paul
Biya will be first in line. I spit on his name.

Cameroon’s next President?
Dear Glenn, thank you for your excellent website exposing
the shocking corruption in my homeland, Cameroon.
After living in Europe for some years, and enjoying
living conditions that my fellow family and friends must
think are fantasy - it’s not - I appreciate the opportunity
to get the despair off my chest. We all remember better
times, as university students at Yaounde and Douala, we
could hire a hall, and party with French champagne at each
term’s end. Now student’s parents struggle to pay basic
fees, and many of the female students must prostitute
themselves to help live and contribute to fees. What a way
to have to face a potential career as say, a doctor. The
dramatic changes around the world, leave only Cameroon and
other tinpot regimes dragging behind. The answer of course
is the shocking corruption, and always this starts at the
top. Paul Biya and his clan, are acknowledged as the most
corrupt people in the world. Former evil thugs like Marcos
of the Philippines, again with a ridiculous wife, the
absolutely terrible Mugabe who has destroyed a once wealthy
Zimbabwe, and the ridiculous little fat king of Swaziland,
are three worthy competitors for Biya’s title. It seems
unbelievable that they don’t seem to understand that they
are the laughing stock of the whole world. Mugabe can at
least claim insanity from syphilis as his excuse.
I think of the terrible health regime in Cameroon where
basic drugs could save so many. A friend on mine had lost
most of his family, then his greatly loved little sister had
a child at 22 years. She died in childbirth for the lack of
an antibiotic needed to stop a virus. In the rest of the
civilised world this would have brought an outcry, and an
inquiry. To complain in Biya’s regime would have brought
evil gendarmes to the door, and at least sound beatings.
Since arriving in Europe, I have written a story about a
possible Cameroon, if I or another president, not chained
down to the fascist military, or the apartheid riddled
tribes, where a president could walk the streets, where
resources were used for the benefit of the people. It isn’t
unreasonable, that’s how westerners live- I know. I dream, I
am president,
I would build a respectable residence, one other
presidents use. The weakness of Africans is they rely on a
show of money, not talent. Look at Biya, his wife probably
spends more than the national health budget to try and
become a white woman, and in the purchase of mad wigs.
After moving into the new sane residency,- the Prime
Minister’s residence on the lake is adequate,- I’d strip all
the gold nonsense out of the Disunity palace, remove the gun
turrets, the absurd gold dipped Buckingham Palace gates
(even the Queen of England, would be disgusted at the
waste), melt down the gates, and recover the gold. Bulldoze
the acres of wasteful fountains, sell the mountain of French
champagne, and start a new phase.
The main buildings five stories, with working lifts, and
guaranteed water and electricity, would become a public
hospital; the huge sealed parking areas are more than
adequate. The expensive outer buildings would be converted
to outpatients surgeries, research laboratories, and the
vast excessive land could support nurses quarters, and
eventually new wards. Finally the building would inspire the
people- with better health services for all. All could live
in a safe area, even without the machine guns.
But it goes much further. There are another five or six
palaces in the provinces, all maintained at vast expense, in
case the great one should want to spend a night there. He
never does, Cameroon is a small country, and home is never
more than an hour or so away. This circus of insanity would
end. The palaces would become regional hospitals with the
head hospital in Yaounde providing support. Cameroon would,
in my first years, become the shining light in providing
health services to all the people of Cameroon, and the envy
of all of Africa.
And of course real gains would be made against the
endemic corruption. How can it possibly change until the
tinpot dictator, and his cronies are thrown out? The
underlings would quickly fall. I would however need to build
new gaols, to accommodate them all. The new gaols would be
constructed and operate under more humane conditions, rather
than 12th century squalor. Paul would dwell in a
small cell with the others. Madame would be sent to a
woman’s prison, where she would no doubt pay the price for
her disgusting waste of public funds, and for being a new
black/ white woman. My dreams continue.
The dreamer.

What sort of a bank
involves itself in theft of customer’s
money? What sort of Bank Manager involves himself in dubious criminal
matters?
Nowhere in the world have I been greeted at a bank with a rifle pointed
at my chest to deny me access to my
account.
 At
this point, the bank hierarchy in Paris, still don’t see that this matter should be investigated though they were made aware
several times, and most recently in April this year. That’s
how corruption and these crooked managers survive, they ignore the
crimes and connive with each other to cover their actions, rather than
investigate and show they are a credible institution.
Early September 2001, Bank Manager
Alexander Ndoumbe Lottin was offered 1,000,000cfa to divulge my
account details.
13/09/01, during part of a High
Court hearing in the SGBC Bank manager - Ndoumbe Lottin's office, my account
details were made available to Barrister Eno Charles Agbor by an
SGBC Bank staff member, (In front of 6 witnesses).
S.G.B.C Manager Ndoumbe Lottin
provided fraudulent legal documentation in this matter to the
amount of 3,500,000 cfa. I remember well the advice he gave me;
"That I should negotiate to keep some small portion of my savings and
return to Australia". This is not quite what a customer might expect
from a supposed reputable bank and is a common SGBC activity akin to
extortion. Follow the links below to read detailed information
into the criminal actions of SGBC Manager (Douala), Ndoumbe Lottin.

Without
doubt, the
Fako Appeal Court
is one of Cameroon’s most corrupt institutions. It’s not necessary to go
any further than to use its own documentation to prove that point.
Appeal Court Affidavits
Justice
Fonkwe was one of three Judges who determined the removal of a High Court
President, based on an imaginary witness. These Judge’s actions were
displayed before the 12 Barristers & Lawyers who regularly attended the
hearing.
Appeal Court Chronology
These
Judges should be immediately removed for their corrupt and unlawful
conduct, but it seems that most have been promoted in some way.
Foreigners and Cameroonians alike should be well advised to steer clear
of this den of thieves and the Cameroon judiciary in general. The
behaviours I saw in the courts was often no better than the thuggery of
unintelligent and uneducated buffoons who were more concerned with juju
and their own stomachs than anything that appeared to come from a
civilised court.
So that
the matter is very clear, I accuse the three Appeal Court Judges who
signed the ruling of being corrupt.
I also accuse Magistrate Ketuanze Jacob of corrupting the Appeal Court
Judges.
Appeal Court Ruling
I make
these documents available for all to see the corruption and thievery
that these judges participated in. Note that these same activities are
promoted and rewarded by the countries ruling party, the CPDM and the
President, Paul Biya.
Fako Appeal Court , Buea
Is This The World's
Most Corrupt and Shameless Judiciary?
Corrupt Judge: Justice Fokwe
Early

Your life may end

Dear

Three Steps Backward.
Mr. President I write this letter to you as an anniversary
present on the occasion of your 24 years as president of the
Republic of Cameroon. I hope even in the tightness of your
schedule, and the celebrations, you would be able to find the
few minutes required to read through these lines, and appreciate
the content.
Some 24 years ago, precisely on Thursday
November 4, 1982, all Cameroonians including yourself, were
surprised when your predecessor and Cameroon’s first president
Ahmadou Ahidjo resigned from his post and unilaterally
designated you as his successor. You inherited a strong economy
based on agriculture with a very low debt burden. A modest Civil
Service, paying decent salaries; a morally upright society. A
rationalized development plan and an infrastructure network that
was set gradually to link up the country. .
As a keen observer of the evolution of the
life of this triangle called Cameroon within the last
 twenty-four years, one can summarise your stewardship as
president of the Republic without fear of contradiction in the
following six words: “one step forward, three steps backwards”.
With regards to morals and ethics you raised
the hopes of Cameroonians owing to your highly Christian
background. Your father was a Catechist and you a seminarian.
You even used some of Moliere’s finest words in your “Bible” –
Communal Liberalism to explain your doctrine of ‘rigour and
moralisation’. But twenty-four years down the road, most of your
actions have been a complete embarrassment. Even the hierarchy
of the Catholic Church in Cameroon led by the outspoken
Archbishop of Douala Christian Cardinal Tumi has found it
difficult to reconcile your Christian past with the mess that
characterizes your government.
Cameroon is now known to be one of the most
corrupt nations in the world. The spectre of feymania hangs
dangerously above us.
For these twenty-four years, what have you
done with the economy of Cameroon. All the companies that made
up the fabric of our economy have been dilapidated in the most
despicable manner by your people who still go around unpunished.
A series of top banks; SCB, Credit Agricole, Meridien BIAO,
Cameroon Bank, etc. companies like AMACAM, SOCATOUR, SOTUC,
CELLUCAM, all went down the drain. A manager of the defunct SCB
– Robert Messi Messi who fled to Canada accused your family of
crippling the bank when he stated in an explosive interview in
Jeune Afrique Economie that “ the president was constructing a
palace in Mvomeka’a…. and for the financing I (bank manager) was
in direct relationship with Madam Jeanne Irene Biya, who was
summoning me regularly at the presidency in Yaounde… the payment
of the first instalment of CFA 1.250 million…”.
Because of the tough times in Cameroon,
thousands of Cameroonians are running away, some even take the
risk of doing the shameful trekking through the Sahara desert to
seek refuge in Europe and other countries because of their
inability to make ends meet in Cameroon.
Mr. President as you celebrate these
twenty-four years in power we cannot forget the Moslem land
offered by late Andre Fouda for the construction of a Mosque but
which you grabbed. There is no doubt that these acts of brazen
delinquency have contributed to the economic malaise that our
people have suffered for these long years leading to multiple
salary cuts of up to 70 percent, pushing Cameroon from a
prosperous middle income country to the disgraceful highly
indebted poor country status. Mr. President, we hope that as you
celebrate your twenty-four years of power you recall this
unfortunate past.
Douala is the Economic life wire of Cameroon,
but Mr. President I challenge you to come and drive one of your
limousines from Bonaberi through the Old road or through the
commercial area known as ‘Douche’, or even to the Bassa
industrial zone where companies like Guinness operate their
businesses and pay taxes to the state. Wouldn’t it be
interesting for your car to be pushed every after 10 metres?
There are several other road networks in Cameroon that have
suffered complete degradation. I am thinking notably the Kumba
Mamfe –road, the Bamenda Ring Road, the entire network of the
East Province, etc.
Beginning 1990, hundreds of demonstrators
were killed simply because of their call for change. Anglophones
have been targeted and killed in some of the most gruesome human
rights abuses known to mankind. Many are in prison because of
their political beliefs. Nine young men were arrested in Bepanda
and are alleged to have been burnt to death with acid, and this
you know. The clergy have been targeted and killed, and Mr.
President do we need to remind you here that the motives for
these assassinations will become subject for debate when you
will finally leave power?
Mr. President we can keep on writing and
writing. After twenty –four years and another five remaining,
you seem not to be satisfied as all indications suggest that you
will seek another seven years despite constitutional wedges to
finally total thirty six years in power. Mr. President power
drunken and absolute power drunken absolutely. What you’ve not
been able to achieve in twenty-four years will never be obtained
in nine years.
Contemporary history of most African leaders
teaches us a lesson and I hope you’re fully aware that with your
record, any attempt to prolong your stay in power will only
complicate matters for you.
For the last fifteen years, you have built a
family-a beautiful wife, plus children, Paul Biya Junior, Brenda
Eyenga and of course Frank. It is high time you take your
retirement. Go and enjoy with them. Mr. President can you
predict what will happen to these innocent souls if you were to
leave power by force?
They will harvest only what you would have
sowed.

Chantal's Beauty Tips.
Cameroon's 2nd 1st lady
shares her secrets for looking good on all occasions!
|
 |

"First I would like to thank Mr.
Glenn for allowing me this column in his newsletter, to
share my wide experience on beauty to the many readers. The
most important beauty tip to start with is hair,…Big Big
hair,....and lots of it. I’ve set out below, my seven day
plan to staying fashionably stunning for the whole week.
Begin the week with some of the smaller wigs. It’s OK if you
add a bit of colour (white is my favourite – it matches my
skin), during the early days of the week. By the middle of
the week it’s really time to express yourself, and that
means big and beautiful. By the weekend it’s time to really
splash out and show your outer beauty, while saving the best
for Sunday. You can even get a bit zany and use bright
colours like my fabulous blood red wig. Hmm,….it reminds me
of the stain on the floor left by Paul's first wife, the 1st
1st lady, how rude of her to die inside the
palace. Speaking of Paul, where is the scoundrel? I sent him
to the bank hours ago to empty the vault for our trip to
Paris. There’ll be no loving for Paul in Paris, if he
doesn't top up my holiday spending account, oops,…I mean the
Chantal Biya Foundation".
"Ladies, a couple more tips before I go. Use
your wig to hide things from your husband. I always play
safe by putting my bullet proof skull cap on underneath,
just in case Paul gets a bit frisky. And girls,….use your
wig to hide your condoms for your boyfriends & clients, errrr…..I mean
husband. Speaking of Paul, where is that useless bastard.
You have to be careful girls, you know you can’t trust a
Beti to send to the bank. Oh, I can hear the motorcade
coming now. I’d better go and fluff up my wig. See you girls
next time".
Love Chantal
(Vice President of Cameroon) |

Next Editions Beauty Tips.
Everyone's favourite 2nd 1st
Lady gives up her secrets in the skin whitening department. In
an exclusive interview, Chantal
confesses her attraction to Michael Jackson and failures to get Paul
to change colour. Also where to buy those magical skin lightening
lotions in bulk, saving the well built beautiful woman enough money
to keep an extra boyfriend on the side.
Yearning to Be White
Many women are using body lotions to
bleach their bodies in an apparent misconception that men find lighter
skinned women more attractive. These women may be ignorantly inviting
health complications and even death.
The second wives of African leaders.
The worse blunder or marriage of
an African leader to a second wife is that of Cameroon’s President Paul Biya to
Chantal Vigoroux. When Irene died, Biya had to remarry the one who is
the first lady of Cameroon today. She is by name Chantal
Biya nee Chantal Vigoroux. But in other to perceive how and why the
first lady that Biya has taken as wife is a blunder, it is important to
know that, the lady who now looks as though she has been force fed, had
a very miserable record and background. Hence she wants to revenge and
in her sinister adventure, any person who does not dance to her tune has
to lie down or run for his/her dear life.
