Country people, I salute. Have you heard the
latest? Boko Haram is making news everywhere, on the web, in the street and in
conference halls. In fact I am sure that this issue of Boko Haram is also being
discussed in heaven and hell.
When I said last week that Popol has a phobia
for summits, I received calls from some people castigation my statement. Popol
and Chantou left Ngola for Paris where he (Popol) will have a tete-a-tete with
Lucky Badluck Jonathan as well as other heads of states to adopt strategies to fight Boko Haram. As five heads of states are attending the strategic
meeting in Paris to discuss on the Boko Haram threats, the unexpected happened again in the Northern region. Bamm…Bammm, at the time I
was writing this piece, I received call from a friend informing me that Boko
Haram has again strike in the Northern Region. According to what we gathered, two Cameroonians and one Chinese were killed while suspected Boko Haram abducted one Chinese national and about 30 Cameroonians (BIR, Soldiers, civilians) are reported missing during the attack which took place yesterday, May 16, 2014.
This incident we gathered took place around
the Waza Park. The attack your writam-pen gathered took place not far away from
BIR stationed there. It is even rumoured in some quarters that some
Cameroonians are using Boko Haram as a means to gather gombo. Allegations
abound that a high profile personality was caught in the Northern region with
bags of money in home. You know these magidas are very secretive. Do you know
that some people have used the name Boko Haram to solve their problems? I
remember how the Mbororos of Njah in Bamenda who were exploded from a piece of
land by the church regain their land back when they threatened to invite Boko
Haram. The church panicked and packed out of the land. Another Mbororo grazer
in Misaje who was expelled from his grazing land by the administration was
reinstated the following day when he threatened to seek Boko Haram protect.
You heard Lucky Badluck Jonathan and his
minister of Communication? They are seemingly confused over the issue of the
abducted Nigerian school girls. The Minister said government will negotiate
with the Boko Haram and that statement was contradicted by Lucky Jonathan. In
fact the other day I saw Nigerian women threatening to go naked in the street
if the girls are not released after the 14 days protest.
Country people, you saw the Nigerian women in
the rain. In fact I think something should be done.
I have been wondering whether 2014 is a year
of missing. A month ago, a Malaysian plane disappeared and has not been seen up
to date. In Nigeria, 276 school children adopted by Boko Haram have not yet been seen. In Cameroon, 30 Cameroonians are reported missing in the Northern Region. It is alleged that when Boko Haram militants hit Waza, they took away 10 Chinese nationals, 10 vehicles, two soldiers of the elite force BIR. Reports say more than 100 armed men drove in from Borno in two pickups into Cameroon territory.
.
Can someone tell the Minister of Public Works
to remove his hands from the pocket and tell us what is happening to the
Kumba-Mamfe road? The risk of appointing politicians is becoming an
immeasurable problem in this country. Have you heard that work on the
Kumba-Mamfe road was to start last March yet we are in May? Yet Minister
Dieudonne Ambassala issued a press release announcing that the contract for the
construction of this road was awarded to two Chinese companies. I am seeing
this road being tarred on papers in Yaounde. Please Mr. Minister, remove your
hands from the pockets. .
