Country people, when I said sometimes ago
that Popol is a man who springs surprises, some people said it was an
overstatement. Have you heard that latest? Popol has given his Prime Minister
Yang de Philemon only one month to give him a detail report on who did what in
Brazil.
Boum!
Boum! World Cup fiesta! Na waoooo. I knew that these guys were going to bring
us more controversies. Oh poor Mbia!
Have you heard that Stephan Mbia narrowly escaped being lynched by irate
hawkers at the Avenue Kennedy? It is thanks to the timely intervention of the
police that Mbia vamoosed. Massa Jo has also promised to tell his portion of
the truth in a Press Conference. These guys are taking Cameroonians for
granted. I hear Massa Jo told his boss Adoum
Garoua Bolaya (Minister of Sports) that he Massa Jo was minister of Sports,
Adoum was Divisional Delegate for Sports somewhere in one of the enclaved area.
Yet he wants to dish him lessons on sports. Have you heard Ghana has dismissed that
country’s Minister of Sports after the poor performance in Brazil.
I wish Popol could behave like Nkwame Nkruma
of Ghana, Robert Gue of Cote D’Ivoire or Late Mbobutu Seseko of Zaire. The
story goes that in 1972, the late Nkwame Nkruma had to dissolve the national
team for poor performances. Remember that in 1994, Zaire qualified for the
World Cup and they suffered a 9-0 defeat from Yugoslavia, 2-0 defeat from
Scotland etc. when the players returned to Zaire after the humiliation, they
were picked from the airport directly to the military barrack to be taught
lessons on patriotism. Those who never returned to Zaire are still in exile
today. Mbobuto did not only dissolve the team but he also changed the lions of
Zaire to the leopards of Zaire.
In 1992, the Elephants of Cote D’Ivoire won
the African Cup of Nation. As winners, they automatically qualified for the
1994 African Cup of Nation. But they were humiliated by the low rated Togo
national side. The elephants did not moved to the second round. On returning
home, General Robert Gue, by then Head of state ordered they should be taken
directly to the military barracks on grounds that they needed protection
because the fans were angry. But it was until they got to the military barrack
that they understood the importance of patriotism.
I am just recovering from the shock of the
humiliation of the lions. I hope it has not been the same with you. When I told
you that Cameroon doesn’t have a national team and that these guys were just a
selection, some people cursed me that I am a pessimist yet it came to past that
your Writtam-pen saw tomorrow. I hear Popol has vowed that heads will roll. I hope
you all saw what transpired between Moukandjo and Assou Ekotto. I have been
hinted that the two players have been admitted to participate in the upcoming
wrestling champion at WWE-RAW for the Money in the Bank champion alongside John
Cena, Shawn Michael and the Big Show. Alex Song on the other hand has qualified
for the world championship and his first match will be against Randy Otton.
Poor Cameroon!
While
the players were displaying their new discipline in front of cameras, I hear
Massa Jo and Adoum Garoua Boulaye were scattering dishes in one hotel
restaurant over gombo. Yang de Philemon has no other option than to propose
that the team should be dissolved. And that all the 250 delegates who chopped
government gombo should pay back everything into the treasury.
