Manyu Militants invite Comrade Paul Biya.

By Prince & PA Hamilton Ayuk

To Prof. Agbor Tabi, congratulations once more! The Manyu people and the Cameroonians abroad are all behind you. If you go home and the election does not take place please give it to the CPDM. That will sound very familiar because there has been precedence with the Manyu people in the US. If you do not like the congratulatory messages for Prof Peter Agbor Tabi please don't worry you will soon get over it.

“Why Do Men Cheat ?”

Permit me say that both men and women cheat though statistics show that women cheat more than men . In this lesson, I will give you the reasons but after each reason I will suggest a possible solution per God’s word. There are about seven prominent reasons why men cheat. Men cheat because sin is a nature of humanity, because men live by sight, they easily lose appetite for the woman’s physiognomy, nature’s payback, consequences of a nagging spouse, bad company and a pretext to end a bad relationship.

A Shout Out To Jesus Christ: My Best And Most Trustworthy Friend!

Prophets prophesied that he will be very controversial and so old men waited to set their eyes on him before they died. He did not preach to please people; rather he told them “he that is not with me is against me”. What manner of Man is this?

He was not a Bigman because he was born in a manger, yet emperors envied him. Though an adolescent he debated and lectured law professors. He could ride any horse but he trekked with those who served him. If he was in a hurry he walked upon the sea. He could have lived in any mansion but he did not have a home of his own just so He could feel the plight of the homeless and the destitute. What manner of Man is this?

Cameroon Diaspora: Valetudinarians Who Cannot Claim Freedom.

Cameroon Diaspora: Valetudinarians Who Cannot Claim Freedom.

In1987 I met a patient in Hôpital Bonaberi. There were ten people per room. On the opposite row slept five patients and the beds were numbered from 1-10. Number 1-5 have died and it would seem the spirit of death was taking people by their turns. Monsieur François was bed #8. He could not walk but could entertain a conversation all day long until you start to wonder what type of patient he was. People said he was faking but the doctor said he was paralyzed from waist to toes. When death crossed to our row #8 requested to be moved to another room. But before he left we had bonded together as good friends because I was #9. #7 died and # 8 moved and I was discharged the same day Monsieur François was transferred to another room. Two weeks later he died. That is the same way the Cameroonian Diaspora is; paralyzed from waist to toes; it is on western sickbed but running its mouth all day long.

Flushing Racism Into The Ocean

Racism is not just hating another color but trying to subjugate that color and make it a perpetual underclass. In Africa it is called tribalism. There are some tribes that subjugate others and want to keep them perpetually underclass. But permit me take the current center of attraction: the US. First we must acknowledge that racism is not only practiced by white people; it is also practiced by blacks, Hispanics and Asians too. America being the melting pot one sees the constant struggle of each of this color trying to dominate the other. Racism is a character weakness and character witness is not limited to a given color. Some black people have even treated me worst than most white people have. And indeed if the Blacks, Asians or Latin Americans had the majority they will perpetuate the same acts that their white counterparts are doing. That is just the way the heart of man is.

Prof Henry Louis Gates’ Jr Arrest: A Taste of the Black Man’s Daily Milk In America.

When I first heard this story methought the officer was merely a victim of the Big Man Syndrome. But as I read it from newspapers and watched the TV it was clear it was a serious racial profiling. Perhaps he thought to himself “Look there goes another black man trying to burglarize a home by passing through the window while his friend stands aloof watching”. Once more the police got it wrong; not every black man is a criminal!

The Contribution of Manyu Women in Cameroonian Artistry

Let me start with a shout out to my mother Hannah Ako a true Manyu woman who gave her all for me. The Manyu woman contributed greatly in artistry in Cameroon as compared to many women in other places. Most of the art that was done in Manyu was done by women since the men were in the forests falling down iroko and mahogany trees. One of the greatest pieces of art was the Ngbokodem (an immobile statuesque representing a dead lady). You can still find most of the villages in the hinterland of Manyu but the practice of Ngbokodem was still in Ntenako up to the late 90s; for you still have most of the statues. Entertainment was mainly Monikim.

A female child was selected and kept indoors for 6 months where she was taught various dances and songs and then various villages were invited for the unveiling of the siren from which she would also find a husband. Until the forties in the Manyu community, most women were not sent to school because of fear of her being beaten but mainly because education was regarded as investment and that if she got married it would be an investment to the husband rather than the family.

Should DNA Be Used To Determine Parental Legality for VISA?

The American Embassy in Cameroon began using DNA to determine false children from the real children of a parent(s). In some cases; some spouses found out that their spouse was either cheating or cheated on them. But in other cases they knew it was not their child but the partner filing had to pretend that he did not know the wife was cheating on him. What baffles me is how we switch constantly with this righteousness thing. When we make wayo (cheat) and get a visa we claim the Americans are not smart; we can fool them anyhow but when they develop better techniques to catch our deceptions we cry foul.

If Mitochondria DNA was also conducted the embassy will even find out that that child is neither related to the father nor to the mother and so both are telling lies to obtain a visa.

Jimmy Carter Leaves Church Over Treatment of Women

I felt sorry to hear that Jimmy Carter has left church over the treatment of women . He should have left church since over the treatment of black people. I once visited a church in North Dakota and no one greeted me; no one shook my hand apart from her parents. Some of their kids actually tested my skin if my color stains. I am talking in the 21st Century. Thank God that my white friend had already told me that it would happen. I still feel sad that even today we are still struggling with accepting others as equals; people transformed by the same blood of Jesus. What a shame! I expect anything from non Christians because their minds have not been regenerated but Christians should know better about treating others. Christianity of inequality is no Christianity.

MICHAEL JACKSON like ANNA NICOLE SMITH: SAMPLES OF AMERICA ’S MISPLACED PRIORITY.

Michael Jackson's death reminded me of this article I wrote in 2007 about Anna Nicole Smith.

Vicky Lynn Marshall; a siren from a broken home who took the sobriquet of Anna Nicole Smith was born in November 28, 1969, died February 8, 2007 at 39. Her mother: Virgie Mae Tabers divorced and remarried five times. No doubt Ms Smith had a high appetite for men; one baby three would be fathers. How does a stripper suddenly become a role model because she marries a millionaire? Do millions transform individuals? Many people died in Racine County Thursday but her death seized all the media outlets that every eye and ear was condemned to watch and hear about her death. This misplaced priority decimates morality from society. Celebrity status may guarantee sumptuousness but it may equally scourge away true happiness that life becomes so synthetic; fantasizing its existence in coping mechanisms.

"How Derogatory is the Word Nyangi?"

Nyangi is a misnomer and a derogatory term. This is a word that is used even on Beti, Bassa, or any girl whose lifestyle is loosed or mimics promiscuity. Those that argue that the term Nyangi is not derogatory argue that the word was not found in any British document. Indeed not all research is worth recognition. Partially fabricated and spurious history by swivel chair historians are inherited history from colonizers whom themselves had the agenda of exploitation. So how does a third party account (written history) become more authentic than a first hand witness (oral tradition)? If one needs a special empiricism to justify the disparaging nature of the term Nyangi they just need to be in touch with the people. In Yaoundé, Douala, Limbe, Buea, Mvog Meka and Besongabang even flies know that the word is not a compliment because not even an East Cameroonian man would compliment their female friends: “Nyangi you don do fine”.

The Color of AIDS is Black

I recently read that AIDS is rampant amongst blacks. My question: why would HIV attack only a given color? This is selective information to promote an organization. Why would a disease select only a given color when there are many poor Light Skinneds than Dark Skinneds? The same thing Africa is going through, Eastern European countries are experiencing too. There is no such thing as "Black Plague". They say that the type of HIV found in Africa is type O or zero and that type 1 and type 2 are in developed countries. The CDC would tell you we have tests for Type 1 & 2 but we don’t have for Type 0. There are no means to conduct type O tests. So how do they know there is type 0 in Africa? All the statistics is just gross manipulations to dominate Africans and make them look inferior, or a means to frighten them so they could open up and people use them as cavies to test new pharmaceutical drugs.

The Big Man Syndrome

In 1995 I was standing at the Postoffice in Ngoa Ekelle trying to cash the 50 French francs one of my father’s friends had sent to me from France. A gentleman came from nowhere and walked straight to the chef de post’s office. He had met many of us standing on the line waiting for our turn but he passed us and went straight into the office. After some time he came out, smiled at me and went his way. I then turned and asked my neighbor (the guy next to me) if he knew that guy. He said; ah ah you don’t know that is a Big Man. At once I remembered that there is something I call The Big Man Syndrome.

Is Corruption Hereditary or Contagious? (MECA USA Case Study)

We all know that Africa and most third world countries are very corrupt. We also know that every country in the world is very corrupt but in the developed world corruption is more refined. In Africa and third world countries we do it without shame. But what I don’t understand is, is it hereditary or contagious?
The law enforcement: police, gendarmes, even the army are very corrupt. If you have all particulars for the car the police is angry and they call you malchanceaux (badluck man). If you do not have, you are their friend; they call you “Asso”. You put them at the gate they take bribe, to make your ID card they take bribe, you want them to arrest a criminal they take bribe, they arrest you and you want to run away you give them bribe. These fellows are a disgrace! Where did they get this: from their parents, friends or the environment?

Guantanamo And Waterboarding: Evil or Virtue? Part 2

Prince & PA Hamilton Ayuk.

I agree that the right to fight anywhere should reside with the UN and any other organization that they are signatory to. I also agree that in the case of Saddam, Iraq never had weapons of mass destruction. But I disagree that the invasion and occupation was not necessary. The rate at which Saddam was crazy could have led him to use chemical weapons on Israel. I also disagree that since the war began on a wrong premise then the criminals of war taken to Guantanamo are not being treated fairly. They were caught fighting for the insurgence; it was not a defense of their country for they had already surrendered. In addition, most of the Prisoners Of War (POW) caught in Iraq and Afghanistanare foreigners and they are the ones shackled in Guantanamo.

Should the Sperm of A Dead Man Be Used To Father A Child?

The desire of a woman to be a grandmother; her wish to have a grandchild prompted Marissa Evans to say that she wanted to harvest the sperm of the dead son for a surrogate pregnancy so that though gone the son: Nikolas Evans should have a child. Initially it was rejected but she went to court and won the judgment. She said she wants to fulfill his wishes for he always wanted to be a father. On April 18, 2009, ten days after the Evans case, Gisela Marrero won the Supreme Court judgment to preserve the sperm of the dead fiancée so she could retain his legacy . Immediately the question arises: is this ethical? To determine whether anything is ethical or not is first and only by consulting the Bible because that is the constitution that God gave to mankind. You will have good ethics if you follow the Bible but you will have no ethics if you reject it.

Guantanamo And Waterboarding: Evil or Virtue?

This is a huge debate that is not only between the Democrats and Republicans, amongst republicans but between the rest of the world and the US. First I will define both terms: evil and virtue, examine them in the Bible and then reconcile them with the US constitution and international torture conventions look at the conventions about torture.

Evil is anything sinful and virtue is anything that conforms to morality. So the question would be: are Quantanamo and Waterboarding sinful?

Jerome Mendouga: The Scapegoat of Jungle Justice.

Prince & PA Hamilton Ayuk

Jerome Medouga’s case is different. First it would seem there was lack of due process because as an ambassador he should have been given Diplomatic Immunity. Like Dr. Augustine Agbor (a reputable lawyer in the US) had earlier pointed the lack of due process. Whether we like him or not; there should be due process or it is “Jungle Law”.

Teachers Without A Lesson

Prince & PA Hamilton Ayuk

On May the 15 2009 I was almost going home. So I saw my colleague (who is fit to be my mother) waiting for a ride. Would I be happy if someone saw my mother waiting for a ride and left her there? I volunteered to give her a ride because her husband will only come in an hour’s time. She accepted to let me fetch those blessings form God.

The Emptiness Of The SDF

By Prince & PA Hamilton Ayuk

When the SDF was founded it was the hope of Cameroonians that it was quickly nicknamed Suffer Don Finish (Our suffering is over). It wasn’t the first time that multipartism was coming to Cameroon but it was the first time since the Unitary State was formed in 1972. To many, it was an end to their suffering as the singsong of every child: including Francophones that the word SDF was in every household and the effigy of John Fru Ndi on every wall no matter the tribe or language.

Love At First Sight: Is that Possible?

Prince & PA Hamilton Ayuk

“Bro, you know this guy; he has only seen me on the internet and boom he says he loves me he wants to marry me. How is it possible to fall in love without meeting a person in real life though”? Men live by sight while women live by touch. In addition it is a matter of philosophy. If you believe you cannot know a person then you fall in love that way but if you believe you can know anyone then you wait until you know them.

“But considering this theory then you should have been married since”.

The Crab Syndrome of the Manyu People.

Prince & PA Hamilton Ayuk

If you put a group of crabs together, they will start to tear off the limbs of each other and finally they remain limbless. When you put them out of the bucket they cannot more go anywhere. That is called the Crab Syndrome. That exactly is the syndrome bedeviling the Manyu people. The Manyu people: at home and abroad suffer from the Crab Syndrome that when one of theirs falls, there is an abligurition.
