Hope Clinic Closure: Dr. Esua Unravels Coup Plot In Hospital

Interviewed By Olive Ejang Tebug Ngoh

Dr. Jerry Etabong Esua is the Director of Hope Clinic Parma, Kumba. Recently the hospital was sealed by the Meme administration following some administrative problems. In this exclusive interview, Dr. Esua talks on the origin of the hospital, their internal rumbling and the plot to oust him out of the institution, Read On.

The Post: You are the Director of Hope Clinic Parma, Kumba. Recently, the Meme administration sealed the clinic. What happened?

Dr Esua:  Actually, we had lots of administrative lapses stemming from our administrator, Celestine Mumukom Yongabi. He set the entire hospital in confusion and stirred the staff to rebel against me. The hospital became a place of settling scores at the detriment of patients' lives.

I feared looming danger and reported the matter to Meme Senior Divisional Officer, SDO, Magloire Abath Zangbwala. It was on the strength of this that he decided to close the hospital temporally while we settle our internal rumblings.

Can we know the administrative lapses?

First of all Yongabi has refused to go on hospital administration and management training as agreed from the kick off of the hospital in 2007. He is a graduate in Philosophy and an ex-seminarian, so before his employment, we agreed that he would do a six months course in hospital management in Shisong and later on travel to Kenya for hospital administration at the expense of the association.

Besides, in 2007, I entrusted all the financial management of the hospital in his hands, together with the bursar. But by the end of 2007, I discovered that he has spent FCFA 167 million without justification and receipts.

Consequently, in 2008, I withdrew cash from his hands and gave him only the authority to sign documents. But when I saw some unjustified expenditures, from July 2008, I decided to countersign all his signatures.

From July to December 2008, we realised less expenditures in the domain of office equipment, provisions and miscellaneous. It was around this time that a mysterious theft happened in the hospital where about FCFA 2 million was stolen.

Yongabi came and planted fetishes in the hospital without my knowledge, as Director. He went ahead to increase salaries of workers without asking us. When I realised the increase without justification and for the fact that we just started the hospital, I cancelled the increase.

He took this as an advantage to turn workers against me. Nurses, lab technicians and theatre nurses became insubordinate with divided allegiance.Working in this condition became impossible since patients' lives were at risk.

Why then did you employ an unqualified personnel? I mean Yongabi?

Yongabi actually came to work as administrator of the hospital through his wife, Dr Juliet Ndaka Yongabi. He is a member of Associazione Parma Per La Vita, the association which assisted in the construction of Hope Clinic Parma. Before I left Italy in 2006 where I was working as a medical doctor, Dr Ndaka told me she would be finishing her specialisation studies in November 2006. 

She expressed her wish to marry Yongabi who had been in Italy for three months after completing a correspondence course in Management. Dr Ndaka told me she was perplexed that her husband to be was not from the medical field and may not find a job in Cameroon.
I first suggested that we could give him some money to do business.

Later, I thought he could become the hospital administrator, while he would do in-house training to broaden his skills. Unfortunately, he has refused further training for two years now.

What is Associazione Parma Per La Vita all about?

Parma is a town in Italy where we lived. So Parma Per La Vita (Italian) means Parma for live. It is all a long story. Since 1981, while still a medical student in Italy, I had a dream of building a hospital in Cameroon to help my people. To this effect, I bought a land in Kossala Kumba in 1991 to construct the hospital of my dream.

It cost me FCFA 1.5 million.Back in Italy, I started asking help from friends and individuals until one day I and my wife stumbled on one woman, Sigr Ilde Tosi, who assisted us in lobbying for money. We continued until 1994 when we met two women, Sigrs Bianca and Salvi Anna, who gave us FCFA 750,000.

My wife and I came to Kumba in 1994 and added the land in Kossala. We later returned to Italy. While in Italy, we continued lobbying for funds until one day we met Dr Gandini who had worked with the International Red Cross.

Gandini advised me to form an association if I really wish to have substantial assistance. On June 11, 1996, my wife, Caroline Fuh Etabong, and I sat at the notary office in PARMA, Italy, and came out with the name ASSOCIAZIONE PARMA PER LA VITA.

That is when I gathered six other Italian friends, Coperchine Bianca, Anna Salvi, Ilde Tosi, Guastalla Mario, Paula Montagnane and Laura Barchini to join us. The sole aim of the association was to lobby for funds for the construction of Hope Clinic in Kumba.

To further realise our dream, we invited Dr Ndaka, then student living with us in Italy, and shared our vision. She accepted to join us and return to Kumba to work in the hospital to be.

From 1996 to 2000, we laid the foundation stone in Kossala. Each year after 2000, I spent a month in Cameroon to supervise the construction work where I used all my family, relations and classmates to realise my dream. Till date I have single-handedly removed 12 medical containers from the seaport in Cameroon for Hope Clinic Parma.

Since the association was not registered in Cameroon and had no locos standi to operate a hospital, the Arch Bishop of the Bamenda Diocese, Mgr. Cornelius Esua, upon request, intervened and got an authorisation for us to operate a hospital in Kumba.

On December 15, 2005, many people came from PARMA including those who had donated to the hospital, for the inauguration of the hospital in Kumba. My wife and I were the only Africans from Italy.

Prior to the inauguration, I have been bringing drugs to the clinic where I consult and distribute it to people freely, in order to boost the image of the hospital.
In January 2006, I came to Cameroon with a certain Professor Rosconi, whom I called into the association that year. He was a retired surgeon so I wanted him to help me kick off with the hospital.

After three months, he returned to Italy while I worked in Hope Clinic Parma alone till June 2006. My wife joined me in January 2007 after we abandoned our well paid medical jobs in Italy.

Dr Ndaka and her husband Yongabi also joined us in the hospital in 2007. I only discovered later that Rosconi, Yongabi and wife had a secret agenda for the hospital.

Can we know the secret agenda?

The problem started right from the day Yongabi began working in the hospital. On the first day of work, he started looking at the financial records of the hospital when I had not even introduced him to the workers.

He made photocopies of the hospital documents and gave Prof Rosconi without informing me. Yongabi also dismissed a worker without asking me and whenever I am in Europe, he gives a query letter to Victoria, my younger sister, in order to accomplish his mission.

When I wrote a query letter to the administrator on issues affecting the hospital, he insulted me terribly. Yongabi and wife went further to connive with Cameroonian students presently on medical specialisation in Italy and the executive committee of the association which is entirely new.

That is why when they heard I had complained to the SDO on the mafia in the institution, they quickly appointed Dr Ndaka as the new Director of Hope Clinic Parma without writing me a query letter or even asking me questions, as the Director.

I took that as a non-event because I am the Director by origin, realising my dream of a hospital. An association that assisted in the construction of a hospital cannot become the owner and run it from abroad.

Yongabi and wife went forward to sue Arch Bishop Cornelius Esua and addressed a letter against him to the Secretary of State in the Vatican City, Italy, for the fact that he got an authorisation for the hospital to function in Kumba. They accused him of wanting to own Hope Clinic with myself.

What is the situation of your School of Nursing, operating under the hospital in Kossla Kumba?

The school, "Divino Amore" went operational this academic year with Dr Ndaka as the Director while her husband is the administrator. They run the school with scholarship from Italy which I negotiated. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about the running of the school.

Recently, they suspended eight students indefinitely because they protested against unqualified staff. The students said their teachers had only undergone one year medical training and were handpicked to teach State Registered Nurses with Advance Level Certificate. My dream was to raise this school to a higher institute of health personnel, but they never gave me the chance.

I had a dream of developing Hope Clinic Parma to the level of drug (capsule) and drip production with specialists coming from Italy on scholarship grants.

When do you envisage the Reopening of Hope Clinic Parma?

The matter is a bit complicated because Dr Ndaka has blocked all the bank accounts of the hospital. I, as Director, created this account and merely included Yongabi as a co-signatory to the account. I was shocked when Dr Ndaka took a letter to Union Bank of Cameroon, where we have our account, and told the Manager she has been appointed as the new Director of Hope Clinic Parma.

The bank manager went forward to block the account without my knowledge. The bank manager did not bother to investigate or dialogue with me, as the Director. There are several cheques lying idle before the manager, Yongabi and wife, which they have refused to sign. How do we pay the electricity and water bills of the hospital? There's a night watch whose salary we must pay by the end of the month. How then do we solve the matter?

The Divisional Officer for Kumba II Sub Division, Pierre Sedzede, has called Dr Ndaka for dialogue but she has refused to turn up. Ndaka wants to be the Director of Hope Clinic Parma and the school of Nursing while the husband becomes the administrator of the two institutions. Does Dr Ndaka have the qualification of being the Director of a hospital after her first working experience in Hope Clinic Parma for two years? They want to open a Yongabi and Family Enterprise, this cannot work.

You earlier related the hospital palaver to the Southwest/Northwest Regional struggle, can you tell us more?

I say so because in the Southwest Region, there is no good private or Catholic hospital. Since Hope Clinic Parma was opened, the number of people from the SW going for treatment in Shisong in Kumbo has dropped considerably. The Northwest has better equipped hospitals in Shisong, Njinikom, Bafut, BBH Banso, Acha Tugi amongst others.

Do we know that people are producing drips in Njinikom? In the early 90s, Dr Tobias Fotabe Fonjock who was working in the Njinikom hospital was chased out of the town, his house and store set ablaze. He was evacuated from Njinikom by a military plane. Now the only Bishop from the Southwest has been dragged to court by Mr and Mrs Yongabi.

What is the way forward?

I remain the Director of Hope Clinic Parma since it is my achieved dream. Nobody has the right to sack me because no one elected me there.

How do you feel for your patients?

In fact, it is regrettable because I have faced embarrassment from families, calling me that if the clinic was functioning, their loved ones wouldn't have died. When late Samuel Tita of Fiango died, the daughter confronted me, saying her father was receiving treatment from Hope Clinic Parma and has died shortly after the closure of the hospital.

I felt bad. However, I want to assure the patients to keep praying for the clinic. Hopefully we shall reopen soonest to save lives.

I was really being carried by you Dr, but when you stated talking about Southwest/Northwest Regional struggle. I saw some limitations in you. Solve your problems without bringing our two provinces into it.

[Tekum Mbeng]

Dr. Jerry Etabong Esua is clearly frustrated by the distrust of people he co-opted to his project.

He gave them trust and made them powerful. Now, his colleagues want to ruin him, perhaps for a few weaknesses. Again, this is a failure of human relations underscored by an inability to resolve differences professionally and forgive one another.

[rexon]

This is quite disturbing. I am appalled by the turnaround of this very good project. I have met alot of Europeans who have worked in Africa who have confessed that two Black people can't work effectively together. This sort of events goes further to comfirm their hypothesis.

While i believe the director as the brain behind the project should be respected for his business and professional acumen, he should not hold claim to the hospital, granting that it was financed enclusively from private donations. He brought the idea, other people brought in alot of money. If he wanted to open an exclusively private hospital where he is accountable to nobody, he should'nt have created an NGO to support him raise funds from other angles. If he did that, then he should be directly accountable to the NGO in Italy.

Accusing the Yongabi's that they photocopied documents without his knowledge and forwarded to the professor does not make sense. While he have every right to sense some form of conspiracy granting that the documents were forwarded without his knowledge, i do expect Prof Rosconi (all things being equal) to have got copies of those documents, if he is genuine in his transactions with them. In such vein, whatever the Yongabi's were struggling to do (whether to sabotage him or what) would'nt have paid of. Documents were photocopied, and so what? Was the information in the documents tempered with? Moreover, the director accused the Yongabi's of struggling to create a family business when he also had his younger sister "probably as his eye" employed in the hispital. In such vein, he should not accuse anyone of trying to create a family business. They both seems to have nursed disturbing intentions.

While i sympatise with the director, I do not expect a learned doctor like himself to start referencing events in the 90's as justification for his problems with the Yongabi's. One cannot discount mafia at play here, probably from any of the quarters. Though the director started presenting his side of the story quite clearly, reading between the lines makes the whole story quite disturbing. Why bring in the NW/SW issue here? Moreover, they have lived with the Yongabi's in Italy and have probably been friends. What actually went wrong? Why this sudden fall-out? It is an issue between two families than have probably known each other for quite a while and they should resolve it amicably. Except there are some hidden motives.

Cheers.

[Danny Boy]

Rexon,
for once I congratulate you. Do you know that I did not look at this story from your perspective? Maybe you are wrong but if your analysis holds true, one can now begin to understand the reasons for this impasse. It was an NGO afterall, with foreign donors and all other stakeholders! Let us hope the various factions will come up with an amicable solution, to the benefit of the people they all wished to serve.
As for MK the Southerner's input, I am appalled, for this simple reason. The affable Doctor makes a statement of fact and he is held to task! The NW/SW divide is a reality and there will always be comparisons made. Esua's assertion that there are more private, mission hospitals of quality, in the NW, is a statement of fact. A truism that politics cannot deny. It must be this that inspired him, as an individual, a Doctor and with the nous to make a difference socially! In the Diaspora, most Elites And Associations are looking for such pathways to develop our communities. Dr. Esua deserves special praises.
Blessed be Cameroon.

[andre fokam]

This is Another evidence that " every people deserve its leader". These guys (i don't care who is at fault) are doing the same thing our rulers are doing. in their fight, no one care for the people and the sicks. the same behavior that our leaders display. Is there hope for Africa?

[Taku]

Weh,Cameroon and Cameroonians when are we ever going to learn to move forward?When are we going to realise that its not how many degrees you collect that makes you a learned person?That it is your mental attitude towards life that matters. When are we going to wake up and know that the whiteman and the UN cannot rebuild our Country?Oh i fear for our nation.Why do we fight and quarrel with each other?This is a hospital built for the people by its own people yet the same people bring it down?Was it built for service or to make money?What happened to giving back?I think if we are passionate about what we do and do it diligently then we will have little or no time for quarrels.Let us look beyond the lines of provinces and tribe surely its our country.Let us the young generation who have gone to schools abroad not work with the same mental attitudes of our leaders.Let us set a new pace.Greed,anger,corruption and deceit only destroys it does not build.Dont be influenced by our leaders they are on the wrong side of history and surely will be judged.That which your hand can find to do,Do it and do it with assion and the fear of God and not with ulterior motives.

[Randy Michael]

Dokta,
Please stick to what you are good at - taking care of the sick. You seem to have spoilt a good case with your childish utterances about the NW/SW divide

[DR TAN OF CAMEROON]

DEAR ALL
KUMBA AS USUAL. AT ONE POINT I WAS TOLD KUMBA HAS GONE AHEAD OVER BAMENDA , AS THE CITY WITH THE HIGHEST CRIME RATE.
CRIME IS A SOCIAL INDEX IN THE SOCIOCULCULRAL MAKE UP OF A PEOPLE . THESE ARE SOME OF THE REASONS THAT MAKE PEOPLE KILL , BURN, DESTROY OTHERS, WHICH SHOULD NEVER BE. DRS ESUA AND NDAKA SHOULD NOT BE FIGHTNG, AND THOSE WHO ARE FLAMING IT FROM THEIR DIFFERENT INTEREST POSITIONS SHOULD STOP.
AS A FORMRER, CHAIRMAN FOR HEALTH, FOR SWELA, I W3AS INTERVIEWED, BY A CAMEROONIAN DAILY, THAT WANTED TO KNOW , WEATHER THE PHYSICIAN WHO DID THE POSTMORTEM, HAD DONE SOME PREMEDITAED WRONG OVER THE REMAINS OF LATE BARRISTER ESSEME , I TRIED TO PUT TRIBAL[BAFAW] SENTIMENTS ,AWAY, AND ANSWERED THE QUESTIONS OBJECTIVELY , ACCORDING TO MEDICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, ESPECIALLY SO , BECAUSE , THE QUESTIONS WERE FRAMED IN A SUGGESTIVE MANNER. JOURNALISTB CAN PUT WORDS IN YOUR , MOUTH, ESPECIALLY IF THEY WERE OF THE SOUTHWEST DESTRUCT5IVE SORTS LIKE THE HERON, WHICH I HAD PROPHESIED HOW IT WILL END.
WHAT DO WE NED TO CLARIFIED HERE,
1 WHO IS QUAIFIED TO PRACTICE , MEDICINE IN CAMEROON, A LOT OF THOSE ITALIAN TRAINED DOCTORS ARE, NOT REGISTERED WITH THE MEDICAL COUNCIL, I HOPE THESE TWO ARE.[HAVE THEIR NUMBERS WITH THE MEDICAL ORDER OF CAMEROON HEADED BY DR MUNA] LOTS OF PEOPLE WITH 2E GRADES IN ADVANCED LEVEL PAPERS HAD ADMISSION INTO MEDICAL SCHOOLS IN ITALY. I VISITED PADUAR AND TALKED WITH SOME PEOPLE. CAN THEY MAKE GOOD DOCTORS , YES, IF THEY APPLY THEM SELVES TO THEIR STUDIES , AND BACK THEIR SKILL ACQUISITION WITH BOOARD CERTIFICATION. YOU DONOT TRY AND ERROR IN MEDICINE, THAT IS NOT POLITICS.
2 WHAT IS A HOSPITAL IN CAMEROON, WHAT IS A CLINIC, WHAT IS A HEALTH CENTER, AND WHO CAN OPEN WHAT, AND WHAT ARE THEIR LIMITATTIONS IN TERMS OF PRACTICE[MALPRACTICE ISSUES]. IN KUMBA , THERE ARE NURSE AIDS, MEDICAL TECHNICIANS , WARD SERVANTS, PHYSICIAN ASSISITANTS, SPIRITUALIST AND HERBALISTS OPENING ALL TYPES OF THINGS ,CALLING THEM CLINIC, HOSPITALS, HEALTHCENTER ECT. MOST.TIMES THEY ARE SPECIALIZED IN ABORTION. KILLING UNBORN BABIES AND ALSO YOUNG GIRLS , FROM COMPLICATIONS. A PROFESSOR OF OBS/GYN CAN CAUSE THE DEATH OF A PERSON IF HE DOES A N OPERATION IN A FACILITY , WITH POOR FACILTIES, TO MANAGE THE CASE. SO LET US NOT FINISH KILLING OUR SELVES IN THE NAME OF POVERTY. AND THE PEOPLE[MASSES].
SO FOR DR ESUA AND NDAKA , TH ASSU MPTION IS THAT , YOU ARE BOTH REGISITERD WITH THE CAMEROONIAN MEDICAL ORDER?
HEALTH CARE SECTOR, HOW2 DO WE LLOK AT IT
1 SOCIAL ENDEAVOR
2 A CALLING
3 FOR PROFIT
THE CATEGORIZATION ABOVE , WILL HELP DETERMINE , WHAT YOU ARE DEALING WITH HERE.
IN THE ITALY, WITH A SOCIALIST FOUNDATION OF MEDICINE AND TRAINING, A LOT OF PRACTICE IS DONE ON THE SOCIAL [GOVERNMENTAL HEALTH CARE SYSTEM] AND PRIVATE SECTOR NONPROFITS LIKE MISSION HEALTH CARE INSTITUTIONS AND COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONS[ASSOCIATIONS].
THERE IS ALSO THE FOR PROBIF SECTORS[BUSINNESSES].
DR ESUA, SEAM NOT TO HAVE UNDERSTOOD, WHAT HE WANTED TO OPEN. HE SAYS AS HE WAS ASKING FOR FUNDS , DONNORS WANTED HIM TO FORM A NON PROFIT [NGO]. THE DONNORS WANTED TO PIN HIM DOWN, AND TO AN EXTEND MAKE HIM LOOSE A LOT OF HIS INDEPENDENCE, WHICH HE SEAM TO BE FIGHTING FOR NOW. THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH NIS BANK CAMEROON.
MOST DOCTORS DO NOT TAKE MANANEMENT COURESE S IN SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY WILL NOT NEED IT. BUT THIS IS POORLY A MANAGEMENT, PROBLEM BASED ON CONFLICT OF INTEREST, IN A REGISTERED HEALTH NON PROFIT
SOME PEOPLE RUN BUSINESSES IN CAMEROON AS NON PROFITS, BECAUSE, THEY DONOT WANT TO PAY TAXES. BUT THERE IS NO NON PROFIT IN THE WORLD THAT DOES NOT PAY SOME FORM OF TAXES.
THESE IS NOT A BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP, THAT YOU SAY YOUR FRIEND , WANTS TO GET YOU OUT OF YOUR BUSINESS YOU STARTED , THIS IS A FOUNDATION , AS WE CALL IT IN AMERICA[NON PROFIT]. THERE LEGAL FOUNDATION AND MANAGEMENT OF A FOUNDATION IS QUITE DIFFERENT FROM THAT OF A FOR PROFIT BUSINESS.
YOU SUMMITTED A CONSTITUTION AND BILAWAS THAT QUIDE YOUR OPERATIONS, WITH THE ADMINISTRATION, INCASE , YOU EVER HAD A LICENSE FROM THE PRESIDENCY TO START, ACCORDING TO CAMEROON. OR WERE YOU RUNNING A N ASPECT5 OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCHES , NON PROFIT YOU CALL YOUR OWN. SINCE YOU ARE CALLING THE NAME S OF MEN OF GOD. WHO OWN YOUR LICENSE?
A FOUNDATIONSTARTS WITH THE MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OR TRUSTEES.
THEY DRAW BILAW, BASED ON THEIR VISION AND VALUES[YOU MAY BE THE VISIONARY], BUT NO ONE MAN EVER IS KNOWN TO OWN A NON PROFIT OR FOUNDATION OR ASSOCIATION BY LAW.
THE BOARD, APPOINTS A AN EXECUTIVE TEAM WITH A DIRECTOR OR MANAGER, AND REVIEWS, THE OUTPUT INTERMS OF GOALS RELIZATION AND ACHIEVEMENT. SO YOU CAN BE THE PRESIDENT, YOU COULD BE THE DIRECTOR , AND OR C.E.O O OF A NON PROFIT YOU HELP FOUND, BUT COULD ALSO LOOSE ALL THOSE POSSITIONS BY LAW, BASDED ON THE DECISIONS OF MEMEBERS OF THE BOARD. IS A SYSTEM THAT THE GOV,T ABUSES, BECAUSE DECISIONS AND INDIVIDUALS MOST ALWAYS BE INDEPENDENT, TO MPROTECT DONNOR CONTRIBUTIONS.
FROM THE ABOVE, COULD DR NDAKA , BE FOUND COMPLETELY RIGHT, IF SHE KNEW THE STATUS , OF THE ORGANISATION, YES. YOU MAY GO TO COURT, YOU DR EZUA IS COMPLETELY AT FAULT , OVER THIS , EVEN IF YOU , YOU WREE , SO TO SAY THE VISIONARY[NON PROFITS[, IN REAL LIFE HAVE MANY PEOPLE AS FOUNDERS[FIRST BOARD]
THE WAY YOU SEAM TO BE DEFFENDING YOUR CASE TELL ME , YOU ARE NOT TO CONFIDENCE, ICAN NOT JUST BE DISMISSED , FROM , WHAT I STARTED, YES, YOU CAN BE DISMISSED , IF IT,S A FOUNDATION.
THEY WANT TO TURN IT TO A BUSINESS, YOU SHOULD KNOW THEY CANNOT IF YOU HAVE LEGAL PAPERS, SHOWING IT,S A NON PROFIT.
HOW COULD YOUR FRIENDS GET YOU OUT.
1 DECIEVE , AND BRING IN PEOPLE LOYAL TO THEM IN THE BOARD, WHO MAY HAVE A MAJORITY VOTE, AND THROUGH INTRIGUES FOUNDED ON TRIBE, RACE, SEX, RELIGION, OTHER INTERESTS, DEMOCRATICALLY VOTE OUT ALL YOUR INTEREST IN A NON PROFIT YOU CLAIM YOU FOUNDED.
2 HOLD YOU DOWN ON ANY ILLEGALLITY THAT MAY BE FOUNDED IN YOUR OPERATIONS.

WHAT ADVICE DO I GIVE YOU.

1 CONSIDER THE CONSIDERATIONS ABOVE AND MAKE SURE YOU ARE OPERATING WITHIN THE LAW .
2 CALL YOUR NORTH WEST FRIENDS , AND TALK IT OVER AS A MEMBERS OF THE MEDICAL FAMILY. REMEMEBER THE THE MEDICAL OATH, WE TAKE , IT SAYS OUR COLLEAQUES ARE FAMILY TO US. COMMON GROUND.BOTH OF YOU WILL LOOSE OUT IF YOU DONOT COME TO AN AMICABLE SETTLEMENT.
3 ARE YOU JUSTTIFIED, TO FEEL THAT , NORTH WEST, SOUTH WEST NONSENSE , MAY HAVE PLAYED A PART TO YOUR DIFFERENCES, IT MAY BE , BUT YOU CANNOT PROOF IT, IT DOES NOT ALSO HELP YOUR CASE. SHOULD YOU APPOLOGIZED TO ANYBODY, NO. THIS NORTHWEST SOUTHWEST DIVIDE NONSENSE , IS PART OF THE REASONS WHY ANGLOPHONES ARE WERE THEY ARE TODAY.
IF PARLIAMENTARIANS ARE NOT SAYING SOUTHWESTERNERS ARE MARGINALISING THEM[PM],SOUTHWESTERNERS ARE CALLING PEOPLE CAM NO GO, IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY. THE SAD THING IS THOSE WHO PROMOTE AND BENEFIT THE MOST FROM IT , ARE THOSE WHO COMPLAINT THE MOST EACH TIME EVIDENCES ARE PR3ESENTED TO BE DISCUSSED. IT TOOK OBAMA TO TALK ABOUT RACE IN AMERICA , WHEN THOSE WHO BENEFIT FROM IT, ALWAYS WANTS US TO PRETEND IT DOES NOT EXIST.
GLORIA JUA IS MY RELATIVE AND SO HER CHILDREN.
BANYEH IS MY SON, MY COUSINS AND BROTHER ARE IN LITTORAL AND CENTER. TO HELL WITH THIS DIVIDE NONSENSE. I AM THE CORDINATOR OF SWELA USA, IS THERE A NW/SW DIVIDE PROBLEM, YES, CAN WE OVERCOME IT, YES WE CAN, LET US TALK ABOUT IT.

DR [REV] THOMPSON AKWO NTUBA MD, Ph.D

[Lord Marshall]

My dear brothers and sisters,
Reading this article truly breaks my heart. There are lots of things I would love to say but, there is something that both parties are not telling us. There is more to the story than we know.
The curse. “No one would dispute the fact that there are many geniuses among us--in fact, each Cameroonian strongly and sincerely believes that he or she is an authentic genius. But for some strange reason, this belief does not get translated into any clear improvement of life in Cameroon. How can you have a country of 18 million geniuses where nothing works properly”?
One of the things that kill some of us Cameroonians is our lack of judgment. We let our emotions cloud our judgments. I still don’t understand how our good doctor would employ an unqualified individual to run a hospital. Also, how CFA167million will disappear and for 2 years, no action taken. I thought financial statements are done every quarter.
We are one people, (Cameroonians). This thing of NW/SW, Anglophone, francophone, Southern Cameroon; should be laid to rest. We as a people should rise above our individualism and pettiness and fight for the common good of our beloved nation Cameroon. Our nationality is our identity. "The past isn't dead and buried. In fact, it isn't even past." We do not need to recite the history of tribalism and injustice in Cameroon. But we do need to remind ourselves that so many of the disparities that exist in our Cameroonian community today can be directly traced to inequalities passed on from an earlier generation that suffered the ills of tribalism.

[MOTABENAMA]

MR THOMPSON AKWO NTUBA. I AM VERY CERTAIN THAT WHAT YOU ARE WRITING HERE IS COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTEXT. THERE IS A LOT OF RAMBLING IN YOUR INSCRIPTIONS MUCH TO THE EXTENT THAT ONE CAN DO NOTHING BUT BEGIN TO IMAGINE WHETHER YOU YOURSELF IS A PSEUDO DOCTOR OR A TRUE ONE AS YOU TRY TO MAKE IT TO LOOK. YOU MUST BEAR IN MIND THAT WHAT YOU WRITE HERE IS MORE OR LESS BEING READ BY A LOT OF PEOPLE FROM ALL ACADEMIC SPERES OF LIFE SO ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST TO WRITE IN A COHERENT, PRECISE AND COMMUNICATIVE MANNER SO THAT YOUR AUDIENCE AND OR READERS WILL GET A GRASP OF WHAT YOU INTEND YTO TRNSCEND.

[Chief Whip]

Dr Esua, you spoiled a good case when you brought in that NW/SW nonesense.

You have lost my sympathy.
Poor you.

The Whip

[Fon.]

Like many others have mentioned, I had a lot concern for Dr. Esua at the begining of the story, but became so disappointed with his rambling about NW/SW.
Can Yonghabi and wife represent the NW?

[Fon.]

From the issue of NW/SW,I can read his mind and mentality with some good precision. He must be the cause of his problems

[mk the southerner]

Motabenama Will you please take your time again and re-read what Mr Thompson have written? If you do, you may be ashamed of what you have just said.

[Polonium 2-10]

All this fraustrated Asylum sickers, please try to read carefully and then react in a more mature way.
Dr Esua you dont know him, he is neither from Kumba nor is he from Bamenda.
What did he said which is wrong in his analysis? The Dr clearly sympathise with the people of kumba saying they do not have the same institution when it comes to medical facilities as compared to the North west province; What is wrong in that?
From your reactions it is clear that you guys are from Bamenda exhibiting your tribalistic ways of reasoning.
Every single story on the net you bring SCNC into it, you make the whole strugle looks like a joke why others are dying in jail in Cameroon. the idiot so call Whip; can you form an NGO, or can you stand in a population of two persons and address them?
If you know you are fighting for Southern Cameroon put your name when writing and please write what is needed under the required heading.
SCNC is not a tool use for joking if you dont know please. Mr Whip this is the last warning I am giving to you and all those who use Southern Cameroon strugle as a joke under headings which dont really matters or related.

I wish you all well,

Poloniun 2-10

[Polonium 2-10]

Rexon how are you man? Happy new. Long time.How is Tayong doing too. Men I wish to read from you when you are chanced. I am planing a trip to the UK hope we meet this time.
I know you are very bussy in school.

Have a nice day Rex.

[UnitedstatesofAfrica]

MK the Southerner

The truth of the matter is there is a startling and sharp regional struglle between the SOuth Westerners and North Westerners. Don't blame Dr. Esua for exposing the reality which we should all know by now. If we Anglophones want to free ourselves from La Republique, we need to fight as a united front...not a divided one. The sooner we start addressing this NW/SW divide the better. As the cliche goes, in unity is strength.

And this is my problem with the moronic SCNC bulldogs on this forum like Rexon, Ma Mary and of course MK the SOutherner. Together with their history club (SCNC), they have chosen to ignore this issue and sugar coat the facts. How can you sail with no paddle? why can a car work with no engine? and you wonder why your pressure group is producing no results. The SDF is already a major distraction in our Anglophone struggle. The last thing we need is another distraction like the SCNC and their utopian sermons dragging us behind. Luckily enough, anglophones do not give a rat shit about the SCNC.

He is a good friend that speaks well of us behind our backs.
