There was a free-for-all fight at
the Nkwen Palace
premise where the maor of Bamenda III Council was distributing some gifts from Suwon City
in Korean. In fact those who took the pains to witness the distribution
exercise went home more confused than when they were going. However, a school
of thought holds that Bamenda III Council area has been transformed into a
dumping pit by the Koreans while another school holds that the mayor of Bamenda
III Council Fonguh Clestus is actually putting into the mouth of the population
the flavour of Korean made article for an imminent invasion of Korean traders
in the area.
The most pathetic thing is that news
had circulated in njangi groups that the council was going to distribute some
items yet, the item remained undisclosed until when they arrived the avenue to
uncover that they were dresses, slippers, sport wears, women dresses etc… Some
groups stormed out of the ceremonial ground in anger while those who stayed
behind suddenly engaged themselves in a fight over the distribution of the
items. Fonguh Cletus himself, was almost bundled by some okada riders who could
not withstand to see the end without having one item. The invasion was so tense
that even the lone police officer spotted at the Nkwen Palace
as well as the Gendarme officer were helpless. Beside, these officers had received
their gift and abandoned the mayor to the mercy of the crowd. Public opinion is
questioning whether the Suwon
City is not practicing
dumping giving that it is more sustainable to teach someone to catch a fish
rather than giving that person fish to eat whenever he/she is hungry. Mayor
Fonguh’s detractors snobed the distribution exercise and tag it as a campaign
strategy. Others even questioned whether the Korean government is aware that Suwon City
is already sponsoring candidates in Cameroon for the upcoming
elections.
