The Hall of
SHAME!
Edition No: 17
May 2007
Hall of Shame Mission Statement
This site is dedicated to expose those shameful
people who think they can lie, cheat, steal and violate the principles
of basic humanity and remain anonymous. As you are aware, my involvement
 with
Cameroon began through the glazed eyes of a tourist. After a sham
marriage and the loss of my life savings to the corrupt judiciary, I now
see the plight of Cameroonians through much clearer eyes. It is through
fiercely protected anonymity, by those involved, that corruption heads
down its unbending path. These are the same people sitting in the pew
next to you in church on Sundays, who are stealing the food from your
mouth and your children’s education on Mondays. I say, lets take a look
at these people and let them enjoy the sleepless nights that they
inflict upon others. Exposure of these peoples' acts of shame is the
strongest tool to drive others away from these evil practices.
Is Cameroon so far down the toilet bowl of
corruption that it is beyond help? I think not, but the fact that many
wear their crimes as medals to their cleverness, and worse, that others
aspire in the same way to achieve like goals is a mentality worthy of
standing against.

Dear Fellow Corruption Haters,
Several months, a Christmas & a
New Year have passed since our last get together. Just enough time
for those corrupt individuals to feel they can relax a little. But
here we are again, ready to strike the fear of God into those
crooked people. Looking through the news of the last 4 months, it
seems that nothing changes; Government thieves are as active as
ever; Paul’s in France, Chantal’s got her hand in the till as usual,
the Southern Cameroon people still suffering arrest and torture,
fake anti corruption trials being run by corrupt judges, and the
thieves are still thieving. To make matters worse, the government is gearing up for another
fake election that creates even more suffering for the people.
Yep, it’s business as normal in Cameroon!
But what about the shock waves that went through
the Anglophone population after learning of the gruesome death of
one of it’s finest – Bate Bessong. I too mourned alongside
Cameroonians at this senseless death. (See Praise File)
So here we are, first newsletter of the year;
ready to poke left and right, up and down, to see corruption and
it’s sponsors bleed a little (or a lot). We’ve been to the forests,
collected the green mamba heart, a few black fowl eggs, and we’re
performing our own brand of justice, without a courtroom in sight.
It sort of reminds me of that expression, “Never take a knife to a
gunfight!”
No problem; were cocked and loaded this month at Hall of Shame.
My greetings to all, Sessekou Glenn.
All the underlined writing in this colour (throughout the
newsletter) are links to further information & articles.

For your Amusement; Recently I
loaded a copy of my Cameroon marriage certificate onto the website.
I just can’t seem to get rid of it, 50 court appearances and they
still won’t give me a divorce! These Cameroon marriages stick to you
like glue, even after they’ve sucked you dry. It still causes me to
wonder what I was thinking. So what else is there for me to do with
it other than to share it with the readers. Oddly, the certificate
states my father was present at the council wedding, even though he
was 12,000km away.
Must be that whiteman juju again!

CPDM - Crooked
Machine!
Election Rigging
Flourishes in the US.
|
The CPDM would always be in power except as this juju is
getting on all those who tricked elections. You people can see that
Andze Tsoungui is gone. Let me just show you how crooked the CPDM
machine is.
Permit the sojourner to narrate what happened from close sources
in Atlanta and the US. The CPDM was reorganizing in North America
and so they visited Atlanta. Two candidates for two subsections: Dan
Esue
(North West) and Ngalame (North East) were contesting for the
elections of Sub-Section president. The winner of the Sub-Section
would carry the day and only the executives of the sub sections
would vote for the National chairman. During the elections;
Ngalame’s team had ten executives present and Esue had eleven. Two
members of Esue (Njenge) and Ashu crossed carpet and he is left with
nine. Remember, though they crossed carpet they cannot vote. During
the elections it was alleged that a member of Ngalame’s executive:
Emile Kangue has tried to vote twice. His voted was removed in front
of everyone and with one member absent both camps were now left with
9 people each. Surprisingly when the elections results were read,
Ngalame’s section won 10-9. How? By defeating Esue they were
defeating Dr Elonge who would have challenged the incumbent because
Ngalame’s sub section were giving their votes to Joseph Mbu;
Elonge’s opponent. Consequently, Elonge’s ticket was defeated in
Georgia with the help of Ngolle Ngolle and the ambassador.
Perhaps this was not enough! When we went to Washington the
minister told us that he had 6000 euro as kola nut money for us. But
when he made the exchange of the 6000 euro, he said it was $5000 and
some change. Meanwhile the euro is stronger than the dollar. Instead
it would have been at least $10,000 US. How can that be? Then when
Joseph Mbu took the money he shared it amongst the three of them,
the CPDM section presidents and himself. How crooked again do you
want the CPDM to be?

Bate Bessong
1954 - 2007
|

Bate
Besong gone? Really gone? God!
It's such a sad sad sad day for
us all, especially for those of
us who were his contemporaries
at the University of Calabar.
This is too much subtraction
from the literary community,
from the African critical voice.
This is impossible!
God...!
Dr. Jacobs Bate
Besong, Lecturer, Department of English, University of Buea, UB, who
died in a ghastly car crash, March 8, alongside two other
Cameroonian literary juggernauts, Dr. Hilarious Ngwa Ambe, Thomas
Kwasen Gwangwa'a and a driver, Samson Tabe Awoh, was Thursday, March
22, laid in his final resting place in his native Ndekwai in Mamfe,
Manyu Division.
Besong : The
Man, His Ideas, His Vision And His Life
Bate Besong was born on May 8, 1954 in Manyu
Division, at that time called Mamfe, in the then Southern Cameroons.
He attended Hope Waddell Training Institute in Calabar and later
came to study at St. Bede's Secondary School in Ashing, Kom, where
he obtained his GCE A Levels. He left Cameroon after his A Levels
and went to Nigeria where he was admitted into the University of
Calabar in the Department of English and Literary Studies. While at
the University of Calabar, Bate Besong [fondly called] BB and Babila
Mutia founded "Oracle", the first Nigerian university journal of
poetry edited by students. BB was Senior Editor while Babila Mutia
was Deputy Editor.
Just before he graduated from the University of
Calabar, Besong published his widely acclaimed maiden collection of
poems, "Polyphemus Detainee & Other Skulls." Scholars Press
published the poetry collection in April 1980 with a foreword
written by Professor Ime Ikiddeh of the University of Calabar.
Chinua Achebe launched the book. When he graduated from the
University of Calabar in 1980, Besong did his National Youth Corps
training in Nigeria (working with Brigadier Mamman Vatsa, the
poet-soldier who would later be executed for a failed coup attempt)
before enrolling at the University of Ibadan for an M.A. degree.
Suspicion, Mistrust And
Misery
Realising that his emerging reputation as a budding
writer was gradually giving him recognition as a Nigerian and
compromising his Cameroonian nationality, Bate Besong opted to come
back home to Cameroon after completing his Masters degree programme.
To his utter dismay and much in despair, Cameroon welcomed him with
suspicion, mistrust and misery. With an MA degree Bate Besong would
have naturally been recruited to lecture in numerous Nigerian
universities while pursing his PhD degree. But in Cameroon he was
unable to get a university job. In utter desperation, he took up a
teaching job at CPC Bali where he was Senior Tutor from 1983-1985.
 His two-year stay in Bali was not entirely
improvident. While in Bali he met and got married to Christina, his
beautiful wife with whom he has five children. It was Christina who
gave meaning to his life and shielded him from the slings and arrows
of a home country that did not recognise his talents and share his
artistic vision.
Bate Besong accepted recruitment in the Ministry of Education at the
time as a "PLEG" from 1985-1999. His trials and tribulations in the
Ministry of National Education can constitute a book of its own. He
was without a salary for more than four years and his integration
file kept on disappearing every time he re-submitted it to the
Ministry. Because of this persecution he went into depression and
began drinking and smoking profusely.
Paradoxically, it was during this period of
depression, extreme poverty and despair that he became quite
prolific and wrote some of his most provocative works: "The Most
Cruel Death of the Talkative Zombie" was published in 1987. "Obansinjom
Warrior With Poems After Detention" came out in 1991 and was quickly
followed by "Requiem for the Last Kaiser" in the same year.
"The Banquet", published in Makurdi, Nigeria, by Editions Ehi made
its appearance in 1994. Three years later, "The Grain of Bobe Ngom
Jua" (a collection of poems) was released in 1997. Partly because of
his critical writings and his militant activism during the Ahidjo
era, he was punitively transferred to teach in Mayo Louti, in the
North Province where his depression deepened and he almost lost his
mind. Eventually he was transferred to the Bilingual High School in
Molyko, Buea.
"Beasts of No Nation"
It is understandable then why Bate Besong fell foul with
the present regime in power, particularly after the staging of
“Beasts of No Nation" in March 1992. Shortly after the play was
staged, Besong was kidnapped during one of his visits to CRTV
television house. He was physically assaulted and tortured by State
security agents who took him to an unknown location.
Within a few minutes news of his kidnapping was
broadcast around the world. Embarrassed by the kidnap news, the
security agents released Bate Besong as quickly as they had
kidnapped him. To this day, no explanation has been provided by the
ruling regime as to why he was kidnapped or who masterminded the
kidnapping.

KEMBONG VILLAGE SHAME
Limbe 419
scam nets 10,000,000 fcfa as Kembong prostitute strikes
again.
The 419.
In 2005 Enow Brillian Ayuk travelled to
France. During the stay there she convinced a French
national that she could assist to supply the man with a
government contract to run a fleet of fishing boats, build
some boats or something similar. Once the man arrived in
Cameroon with Enow Ayuk, he was informed that to receive the
Government contract he must build a house in Cameroon. The
man purchased land next to the car wash at Crystal Waters,
Limbe (behind Limbe zoo) and the 3 level house is nearly
 completed.
Two months ago Enow Ayuk travelled with the Frenchman to
Douala to assist him buying building supplies; travelling in
a taxi driven by an accomplice. The Frenchman was convinced
to leave the money he was carrying (10,000,000cfa) in the
taxi for safe keeping, while Enow Brillian Ayuk accompanied
him into a shop to select materials for the house. The
driver (accomplice) fled with the 10,000,000cfa. Enow Ayuk
accompanied the man to Douala Police to report the theft.
Currently the Frenchman is living with Enow Ayuk at the
house of Pauline Kono at Isokolo (Limbe). The Frenchman is
patiently waiting for his Government contract, not realizing
he is the victim in a scam that may have deadly consequences
once there are no more funds for him to ship from France.
To All Cameroonians.
I have lived this same experience myself,
the same lies by the same thieves and I beg you to intercede
on this mans behalf. The thing that shocked me about my time
with this woman (Enow Brillian Ayuk) was that many people
knew this girl and what she was doing to me, but no one
spoke up until it was to late. I was poisoned by this
person, and it is documented that she attempted to bring a
firearm into the family house, so I have no doubt as to the
extent that this person & Pauline Kono will go for the sake
of stealing what does not belong to them. I know many of you
think this is just a Cameroonian being creative. But this
Frenchman has family just like you, and doesn’t deserve to
die for being gullible. I also know the great warmth of some
Cameroonians who felt great shame that this even happened
once, yet here it is happening again. If there are any
lawyers in the Limbe area with courage, please locate this
Frenchman and investigate whose name the property documents
are in. Assist this man to put them in his name to protect
himself. Expose this prostitute from Kembong as a scam
artist. Direct him to the
www.camerooninjustice.com
website. Information on this matter reaches me regularly
with comprehensive data to be relayed in the newsletter. I
urgently seek the contact details of this Frenchman in Limbe,
or his family in France. Please send any information to me
at
glennwwilson@bigpond.com
I have done my bit from 12,000
km away. What are you people who are only a few kilometres
away going to do? Let us all be judged by our actions, before
God.

Wall of Juju!

Who will be next?
After years of pussyfooting around using the white man’s ways
(courts and due process), with no success, we have now decided
to surrender to nature. I can’t tell you exactly what’s
occurred, but I’ve been to the Obasinjom and heard
 the
oracle. Only those who choose to clear their conscience fully,
have a chance to avoid the prophecy. As for now, stunning
results have been achieved in a very short time. Within two
weeks, Magistrate Ketuanze Jacob began feeling the effects, and
even though he fled from Mamfe to visit a traditional doctor in
Bamenda (Bambui) it was too late to remedy the damage.
Ketuanze’s last day were summed up in this: swollen legs and
face, erased memory unable to recognize anyone; confessing his
crimes in a ranting and maniacal way. Alas, it was too late and
when he expired, his body was unrecognizable. He was buried face
down, as tradition demands of a bad death, on his little piece
of land at Ntasen, where he was still yet to construct his
house.
His was the third such death in this matter, the first being
that of Chief Justice H. M. Najeme who died in London at the
exact same time as my vehicle was being incinerated at the
American Embassy in Yaounde (Sep 2002). Chief Justice Najeme was
the head of the Fako Appeal Court panel that passed an
abominable ruling allowing these criminals to profit from their
crimes. The second death was that of Robert Agbor Toko, who
worked closely with Ketuanze Jacob committing their crimes.
After Ketuanze, the next victim was the death of “Paul” the
lion, at Mvog Beti zoo. Though people see the lion’s death as a
bad omen for President Biya, they are yet to understand the
gravity of the Presidents situation. A brief consultation with
your famous Obasinjom; the deck of cards has been set and now we
know who will die and when they will die. As such, I have left
it for the public to make their guess.
Nonetheless, let me say this: the innocents have nothing to
fear, but the guilty; those
who choose to rob the poor and common man from justice should
sign their wills. Each of them should rest assured that their
numbers have been picked and now just have to wait and see what
your African Juju would do. Please, have this deck in your house
like a calendar and when each of them expires you indicate on
your calendar so that your children may learn to be honest. As
you know; only those thieves who choose not to clear their
conscience shall be harmed. There is no escape for these
criminals but for them to confess publicly to their criminal
acts as the only means to avoid their fate. Undoubtedly more
will fall before the message becomes clear, but then “So be it.”
Can you guess who will be next? I already know!
Recent news out of Limbe confirms the veracity of the
Obasinjom’s oracle, with Enow Brillian Ayuk falling to an
unexplained paralysis. Enow Ayuk’s mother has sent a messenger
to Bamenda seeking out the toughest medicine man to treat her
daughter. But it will be to no avail, as the result is foretold.

Cameroon mourns presidential lion

First
Lady’s Humanitarian Tricks and Largesse
Chantal Biya's grabbing and milking of the State.
Most African dictators' wives are as ruthless in
grabbing and milking their husbands' Nations dry as
their husbands do. Cameroon’s first lady, Chantal Biya
of Lebanese father and Cameroonian mother is no
exception.
This month, the fraudulent grabbing was a gala night
dubbed 'Solidarity Night' of the Circle of Friends of
Cameroon, CERAC, an NGO whose Founder and President is
Chantal Biya. The caulicolous chromosomes
that gathered to compare how much they have stolen to
reduce by adding to what the first lady has, were heads
of public and private enterprises, spouses of members of
government, those of the diplomatic corps and top
Government Ministers including the Prime Minister, Chief
Ephraim Inoni and wife, Gladys.
Though these thieves feared dipping deep into their
pockets for fear of exposing how much they have stolen,
the sum of CFA 527 Million was raised in less than
3hours. Take note here that fund raising for the
foundation stone of the Medical Faculty in the lone
Anglo-Saxon University of Buea in Inoni's fief yielded
less than 20 Million CFA.
Fearing international criticisms of this official
organised looting in the name of Humanitarian NGO,
Cameroon Tribune, Radio and Television all state-owned
media embarked on a one-week further deceit. This is the
chorus: "Unlike other NGOs where professional conduct
and the quest for profit by the promoters is rife,
mismanagement is out of the question in CERAC. The money
collected is deposited in a special account in a local
bank and used judiciously"
Who says the first lady's money cannot be judiciously
used in rigging elections? And if other NGOs are rife in
mismanagement and quest for profit, what prevent that of
first lady doing same distributing wheelbarrows,
grinding machines, cutlasses, ploughs etc to women in
the South and Center or North Provinces?
Chantal Biya Foundation Implicated In FEICOM FCFA 52Bn
Swindle
It was also revealed in court that the Chantal Biya
Foundation benefited over FCFA 150 million from the
largesse of the former FEICOM guru. Moreover,
Circle of Friends of Cameroon, CERAC, that also involves
the First Lady, received FCFA 5 million.
Youths Duped At Mrs. Biya's Cleansing Campaign
A street demonstration in Yaounde followed by a press
conference aimed at cleansing the image of Mrs. Chantal
Biya, after a publication in the French daily,
Mutations, considered rather scandalous, ended in an
uproar over differences in sums of money shared out to
the youths hired to march.
How do you
dismantle people who are willing to kill and die to keep
their hard earned privilege of looting the treasury?

Exploitation, Murders Will Continue
The pictures of the headless bodies of our
intellectuals who died in a car accident at Edea recently were horrible
for the eyes. Reading through the stories, I cannot imagine the timber
truck dragging their crushed car for over 20 metres. How else could it
have been? Timber is exploited by a Mafia led by the son of the King and
their French surrogates. No police or gendarme dare control the trucks.
The drivers are above the law. Insignificant taxes, if any, are paid for
the wood exported.
If you see the amount of timber at the Douala Port awaiting exportation,
the number of timber trucks heading for Douala per day, and the amount
of money declared as timber revenue for the national budget, you will
weep for our beloved country.

Cameroon highway robbers hold up cars, kill woman
YAOUNDE, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Arabic-speaking armed
robbers in eastern Cameroon killed a woman and stole money, jewellery
and mobile phones from dozens of motorists after holding up 30 vehicles
on a main road, witnesses said on Monday. They told state radio the
assailants, who were hooded and dressed in military fatigues, halted
cars on Sunday outside the town of Dimako in East Province, which
borders with the Central African Republic.
State radio said one woman traveller was shot in the head and killed
when she resisted orders from the robbers to hand over her money and
cellphone. Some 20 more people were injured, the radio added, but did
not explain how.

 Bamenda Prisoners Dying At Alarming Rate
Inmates of the Bamenda Central Prison are reported to be dying at an
alarming rate without a fair trial. Scores of prisoners accused and
caged at the Bamenda Prison for various crimes such as theft and
other minor offences have been languishing for months or even years
without trial. Besides, the deaths are attributed to poor feeding,
coupled with infections like tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.In less than
two years, over 20 prisoners have died, most of them still waiting
to be tried.
CAMEROON: Rights groups deplore prison conditions
YAOUNDE, 13 April 2007 (IRIN) - As Cameroon prepares for
parliamentary elections coming up in June, human rights advocates
complain that the country is far from upholding democratic
 principles, and in few places is this more evident than in the
country’s prisons. They describe detention facilities rife with
overcrowding, violence, disease, extended pre-trial detention and
torture. And instead of conditions improving, things are only
deteriorating. “In the section where I was there were 50 of us to
sleep in an area of five metres squared,” a former detainee, who
gave his name as Lambert, told IRIN. “There was one tap for 1,200
people.”
Cameroon corruption hinders Aids fight
In Cameroon alone, the Global Fund and World Bank have allocated
more than $133m (£68m) to stem the tide of HIV/Aids. But with
corruption endemic, are the millions being spent on combating the
disease being used effectively? Tackling Aids cannot happen until
a cure is found for Cameroon's second deadly virus - corruption.

Human Rights Practices in Cameroon - 2006
The government's human rights record remained poor, and it continued
to commit numerous human rights abuses. Security forces committed
numerous unlawful killings; they regularly engaged in torture,
beatings, and other abuses, particularly of detainees and prisoners.
Impunity was a problem in the security forces. Prison conditions
were harsh and life-threatening. Authorities arbitrarily arrested
and detained anglophone citizens advocating secession, local human
rights monitors and activists, and other citizens.

Protests in The Hague: Reaction to Mass Arrest
The Hague, 25 January 2007 – Members of the Unrepresented
 Nations and Peoples Organization (UNPO) have today protested with
Members of the Southern Cameroons National Council (SCNC) outside
the Embassy of the Republic of Cameroon in The Hague, as fundamental
freedoms have come under renewed threat from Cameroonian
authorities.
A Race With Torture, Terror And Abuse
There is something unusual going on in this country. For perhaps
20 years or more, the efficiency of the Government in trampling on
the rights of its citizens has been rising.
Students get shot to death for simply asking the Government to
pay them more attention, warders are suddenly turned into prisoners
when they complain of poor working conditions and poor pay, taxi and
bus drivers as well as passengers are victims of robbery executed by
the forces of law and order.
And Southern Cameroonians, who are agitating for equal treatment
with La République du Cameroun, are not exempted from maltreatment.
This attitude of dog eat dog has sent thousands of both young and
Cameroonians fleeing to other countries in search of safety, peace
and prosperity.

Njaru Philip (Cameroon), journalist, has been repeatedly

officials. In 2004, he fled to Equatorial Guinea, was arrested and
repatriated to Cameroon. He then went to Nigeria, but returned to
Cameroon after several months. In November 2005, he was accused of
being a journalist for the Southern Cameroons National Council, an
English-speaking minority claiming rights of self-determination. He
was beaten by paramilitary police and left unconscious, after which
he was hospitalised for several weeks.

PRESS RELEASE
SIMON TANTO STILL LANGUISHING IN DETENTION
T he SCNC hierarchy expresses its concern,
consternation and outrage at the arbitrary arrest, torture and long
detention without charge of Simon Tanto, 65, who continues to
languish in the Bamenda Central prison since Jan. 20th , 2007
without prospects of being granted bail soon.
When Simon Tanto appeared in Court for the continuation of his
pre-trial investigations on 29th March, 2007
he looked frail and traumatized by his long incarceration but
confident and hopeful in the cause of the struggle for the
restoration of the statehood and sovereignty of the Southern
Cameroons.
As he was escorted out of the chambers of Examining Magistrate
Justice Atabong back to prison, Simon Tanto courageously saluted
other activists and sympathizers in the SCNC style.
Barrister Chumbon who is one of the SCNC Legal advisers on the
matter was disappointed that the Examining Magistrate failed to
grant bail to Tanto whose matter has been rescheduled for hearing
again on 5th April. The P.I. for Dr. Nfor Nfor
and others will be heard on April 17th, 2007.
The SCNC expresses deep gratitude and sincere thanks to UNPO and
the International Federation for the Protection Of the Rights of
Ethnic, Religious, Linguistics and other Minorities (IFPRERLOM) for
their diplomatic efforts in putting on the UNHRC agenda the Southern
Cameroon plight and causing a resolution to be adopted in favour of
the SCNC.
We strongly appeal to the HRC to implement the Resolution with
the utmost urgency it deserves by despatching the Special Rapporteur
On the Promotion and Protection of the Right for Freedom of Opinion
and Expression, to investigate the cases of the rampant arrests and
unlawful detentions of SCNC activists in Cameroon.
Inspite of these provocations and violation of the rights of
Southern Cameroonian people, the SCNC pledge to continue the pacific
pursuit of the legitimate objectives assigned it by history until
sovereignty and independence are restored for the suppressed
oppressed and annexed people of our Fatherland.

case. But tall and dignified, with a clean-shaven head, practising
Barrister Tanyi-Mbianyor Tabi, was prepared for the "Golden Prison".
But the question remains; Is the young bride prepared for
spinsterhood after only one year of marriage?

A Shame file report in the words
of Manyu newsman, Soter Tarh.
Fellow Manyu Citizens,
A lot of tongues have been wagging recently over this issue of a
Manyu Lady eloping with money and property belonging to an
Australian - Mr Glenn Wilson. As a Manyu newsman who has an insight
of most affairs affecting our great community, I did maintain a kind
of deliberate silence as a policy of damage control. Today, I am
compelled to take a position that will lead many Manyus to properly
understand the Glenn Wilson and Enow Brillian saga.
1-WHO THE HELL IS BRILLIAN ENOW AYUK?
For those who were brought up in Mamfe - the Chief town in Manyu
division, we know Enow Brillian is the daughter to one Mr Ako Achale
who worked with the Mamfe Rural Council as a Market Master for a
long time until he retired. Her mother divorced the Dad and got
married to the Late Hon.P.I.Enoh. Brillian Enow consequently took up
residence with her step Dad. As destiny would have it she was
ordered to leave her stepfather's palace when she failed to meet up
with the expectations of the Great Late Manyu citizen.
2-ENOW BRILLIANT'S PORTFOLIO
As earlier stated, Enow Brillian could not meet up with the
moral code of conduct of the new set-up her Mum brought her into.
Imagine that a young girl going to Form One in GHS Mamfe already had
a track record on romance. No wonder, then that in 1987, and for the
first time in the history of GHS Mamfe, a young Form Two Students-Enow
Brillian was expelled from the school after a four hours
Disciplinary Council Hearing headed by Mrs Manyi Iyok Mbiwan. Madam
Iyok, as Principal of GHS Mamfe, told a Morning Devotion how
Brilliant stunned the Disciplinary Council Members by narrating how
she had sex with four students during a school gala-the last one
culminated to a fight with another female classmate over her
lover-Boniface Njock who too had been dismissed from PSS Besongabang
and had just spent three weeks in GHS Mamfe. Since 1987, I can tell
that Enow Brilliant has never passed any examination. Therefore, it
would be needless talking about her life at Union
Comprehensive School Bacho-Akaegbe.
3-THE ISSUE
Brillian Enow Ayuk cannot be considered a true daughter of Manyu.
From 1989, she was a prostitute; always seen around Church Street
Limbe. With her funny love life she eventually gave birth to a child
in Mamfe.

Name:
Robert Agbor Toko
Residence: Limbe
1966 - 2006 |
 |
Robert Agbor Toko was well known in Limbe as the bagman
(money collector) for Magistrate Ketuanze Jacobs crooked
dealings. After Ketuanze Jacob failed to jail me on
Friday the 10th of August, Agbor Toko was
sent to SGBC bank 3 days later to make a false complaint
against me and resulting in soldiers being mobilised
outside the bank. Agbor Toko removed the false charges
(3 pages) made by Enow Brillian Ayuk from State council
building and despite several legal attempts these papers
have never resurfaced. Some time later Agbor Toko was
arrested and detained at Limbe judicial police over the
false complaint he made at SGBC bank. He boasted
 to
all that he could not be held and Magistrate Ketuanze
Jacob would have him released. The following day
(Sunday) he was illegally released by the Magistrate.
Agbor Toko was intimately involved with most details
surrounding the 419 carried out against me.
I bear Robert no ill will, in fact several times when there was a
lot of pressure on this matter it seemed that he may have even
testified on my behalf against those involved. I now know that this
could never have happened as I’ve seen how easily magistrate
Ketuanze Jacob controlled the Fako Appeal Court and I realize that
Robert understood the absolute futility of my pursuit for justice.
Knowing that I would never see justice, Robert didn’t fear to have
several very candid conversations with me regarding the involvement
Ketuanze Jacob, SGBC bank, Pauline Kono and Enow Brillian Ayuk.
The only post script I can think of to say about Roberts death is
that now there is one less person alive who succumbed to the
corruption that is Cameroon, and also that there must be a position
vacant as Ketuanze Jacobs bagman.

Chorus:

You are on your way.
Then you will face your Maker.
Agbor-Toko
was a king of fraud
Now he will meet a king of Judgment.
I wonder what his excuse will be
For frauding all the people he did.

My

Your day of reckoning will show
You may be a judge on earth
But there is a Judge in heaven
Agbor-Toko was boy boy for false lawyer

Life does not end on earth
You are a stranger here
One day you will go back home
Now you are on your way home.

What sort of a bank
involves itself in theft of customer’s
money? What sort of Bank Manager involves himself in dubious criminal
matters?
Nowhere in the world have I been greeted at a bank with a rifle pointed
at my chest to deny me access to my account.
 At
this point, the bank hierarchy in Paris, still don’t see that this matter should be investigated though they were made aware
several times, and most recently in April this year. That’s
how corruption and these crooked managers survive, they ignore the
crimes and connive with each other to cover their actions, rather than
investigate and show they are a credible institution.
Early September 2001, Bank Manager Alexander Ndoumbe Lottin was offered
1,000,000cfa to divulge my account details.
13/09/01, during part of a High Court hearing in the SGBC Bank
manager - Ndoumbe Lottin's office, my account details were made
available to Barrister Eno Charles Agbor by an SGBC Bank staff member,
(In front of 6 witnesses).
S.G.B.C Manager Ndoumbe Lottin provided fraudulent legal documentation
in this matter to the amount of 3,500,000 cfa. I remember well the
advice he gave me; "That I should negotiate to keep some small portion
of my savings and return to Australia". This is not quite what a
customer might expect from a supposed reputable bank and is a common
SGBC activity akin to extortion. Follow the links below to read
detailed information into the criminal actions of SGBC Manager (Douala),
Ndoumbe Lottin.

Without
doubt, the
Fako Appeal Court
is one of Cameroon’s most corrupt institutions. It’s not necessary to go
any further than to use its own documentation to prove that point.
Appeal Court Affidavits
Justice
Fonkwe was one of three Judges who determined the removal of a High
Court President, based on an imaginary witness. These Judge’s actions
were displayed before the 12 Barristers & Lawyers who regularly attended
the hearing.
Appeal Court Chronology
These
Judges should be immediately removed for their corrupt and unlawful
conduct, but it seems that most have been promoted in some way.
Foreigners and Cameroonians alike should be well advised to steer clear
of this den of thieves and the Cameroon judiciary in general. The
behaviours I saw in the courts was often no better than the thuggery of
unintelligent and uneducated buffoons who were more concerned with juju
and their own stomachs than anything that appeared to come from a
civilised court.
So that
the matter is very clear, I accuse the three Appeal Court Judges who
signed the ruling of being corrupt.
I also accuse Magistrate Ketuanze Jacob of corrupting the Appeal Court
Judges.
Appeal Court Ruling
I make
these documents available for all to see the corruption and thievery
that these judges participated in. Note that these same activities are
promoted and rewarded by the countries ruling party, the CPDM and the
President, Paul Biya.
Fako Appeal Court , Buea
Cameroon’s Judiciary has become reduced to the status of a cheap
“kerb-crawler,” doing the dirty work for the criminals!
Corrupt Judge: Justice Fokwe
Early
in the morning when you go for Buea court

Your life may end for bad

Dear Paul |

Mr Biya,
Please take a bucket and pierce it with a knife several times so
that its sides are filled with holes all around it. Then take
another bucket and fill it with water. Pour this bucket of water
into the bucket that has holes. Wait 10 mins and then tell me how
much water is left in the bucket full of holes.
That amount of water is what is left for Cameroon after the
thieves you carefully selected and appointed into the hierarchy have
had their fill of the country's finances.
Everyone of some thinking capacity has diagnosed Cameroon's
problems and pointed out corruption as the scourge of the nation.
Yet President Biya ignores this crime, which his ministers and
ambassadors commit unashamedly and in broad daylight, and instead
insists on chasing shadows. He thinks he can fool the people and
international community with simulations and 'hot air'. (Name and
address withheld)
What is your total? Bravo Paul!
How many people die on bad roads in Cameroon every year?
How many people die because they could not even get to the hospital?
How many people die because, they got to the hospital but no
medicine, no equipment and even no doctor?
How many people die of joblessness, misery, no hopes etc?
How many take up the profession of prostitution, banditry etc as the
only option and eventually die?
Think of how much money that has been siphoned by the CEO of the
butchery (Cameroon) and his few friends that ought to have been used
to create jobs, repair roads, build more hospitals, equip them etc.
If you have ever lost a family member because of any of the
above, rest assured that, he or she was murdered. Use this formula
to calculate: Total number of people Murdered by the CEO = Total
number of people who died every year – 10% from natural causes X 23
years. What is your total?
(Name and address withheld)
23 Wasted Years
23 Years of suffering. What can
Biya boast of in the field of sports in 23 years? No football
stadium built by him etc.
In the field of education, YES HE ENCOURAGES BRAIN DRAIN because he
does not like intellectuals. Those even recruited are even
maltreated and dismissed. Take the example of researchers and
teachers who were recruited and stayed for years without salary and
finally they are dismissed.
23 years Cameroonians have not known justice and human rights or
else such things will not happen. For 23 yrs Cameroon has been
corrupt nation number one.
For 23 years the salaries of civil servants have been reduced by
over 200% and prices of commodities increased by over 1000%. For 23
years, scholarship for students at all level has been scraped off.
For 23 years almost all our embassies abroad have been closed down,
e.g France embassy, which is now operating in somebodies apartment
after the landlord chased them away. In Belgium and Spain the
embassy is an eyesore. In Greece the embassy is operating in the
sitting room of a Greek man so called honorary consul when we have
so many Cameroonians to hold such post. In Britain, the embassy
can’t pay its bills and is currently having some legal suits against
it. In the US the corruption in the embassy has attracted the
attention of FBI.
Look at our roads before Biya and the situation now. Wasteful 23
years, Mr Biya, kindly take stock and resign as Ahidjo did. (Name

Chantal's Beauty Tips.
Cameroon's 2nd 1st lady
shares her secrets for looking good on all occasions!
|

"Once again, I would like to
thank Mr. Glenn for allowing me this column in his
newsletter, to share my wide experience on beauty to the
many readers. This time I’m going to tell you all about
the importance of being white and how to do it on a
budget. My techniques are bit more refined than in the
early days when I would immerse myself in a bath of
bleach for two hours daily, trying not to get bleach on
my wigs was a nightmare. Since then I’ve had the good
fortune to swap tips with my good friend Michael Jackson
who as you all know is a leader in the skin-whitening
department. So we tried them all; lotions, potions,
injections, suppositories, pills & everything else that
the doctor prescribed. The wear and tear on my body
became too much (not that you can tell) and I finally
settled into a regime of lotions.
Sometimes I try to get Paul to rub the lotion on me
before bed, but he only gets a quarter of the way before he
gets tired. The poor dear,….I’m not surprised he’s so tired,
it really takes it out of him keeping track of our foreign
bank accounts and investments. But he says he is putting it
away for our retirement,….the sweet man. He even found a
supplier of my whitening cream in Nigeria who sells it in 20
gallon drums. I’m not to sure about it though, after only
three weeks of this new cream I’m not feeling all that well.
There are boils appearing all over my body and my skin is a
little raw and there was even blood in my stool. When I told
Paul, he said I would be fine and to keep using the cream he
got me. He even said he would bring his own doctor to see
me, but apparently the doctor is very busy and won’t be able
to come by for a month. Oh well,…at least I have Paul taking
care of me. I never realized that being white was so much
hard work. I’d better go now, I’m feeling sick again.
See you girls next time".

Observation from Cameroon
Quite sometime I've not checked my mails. Hope you ok. As
you know elections are around the corner again. The fraud
machinery is once more very active. How can we be free? It
would appear the only way out is to dance around with evil.
My contribution to your request is prayers. Without God's
intervention there shall never be social justice in
Cameroon. Did you attend the reorganisation of the party in
the USA? Can you imagine the government sponsoring
delegations upon delegations into the Diaspora to organise
party organs there? State money wasted yet Cameroonians go
without food, drinking water and shelter. Civil Servants are
traumatised, fraud and corruption everywhere? My therapy is
prayers and civil education in NGO's.
Africa is like a goat with so many owners (several
hundred tribes). Each owner thinks that the other is going
to feed the goat and/or take it to greener pastures. But
most of the time none is actually doing this job. Result:
goat starves, catches aids and dies. And then all the owners
get together for a funeral celebration with pomp and
pageantry. The discussion between the so-called owners
during this celebration centres on, "Is the imf/worldbank
etc giving us a new goat?" Do you mean a new Africa?

“Le Cameroun c’est le Cameroun”
Cynical African observers fed up with the terrible way
they are governed tell a joke to explain why Asia has
developed as Africa has slipped backwards. It goes like
this: In the 1970s a young Asian and a young African go to a
Western university together. They study and become firm
friends before returning to their home countries to take up
careers in their respective governments. Twenty years later
the African decides to visit his old friend and catches a
plane. The Asian is delighted to see him and proudly shows
off his fine house, swimming pool and two flashy cars in the
drive. The African is impressed and congratulates him. The
Asian smiles and points out of the window to a huge highway
in the distance. 'Can you see that road project?' he asks.
He rubs his hands and winks before saying: 'Ten percent'.
The next year the Asian returns the visit. The African's
house is twice as big as his. He has two pools and a fleet
of cars and an army of servants. The Asian is amazed. 'But
you have done better than me?' he cries. The African nods
and points out of the window. The Asian looks and there is
nothing but thick, unbroken African bush. The African winks
and rubs his hands.
'100 percent,' he says.

Investor’s Corner

Many Cameroonians who thought in 1982 that Biya would take
them to the land of promise are yet to come to terms with
the corruption, tribalism, and wastefulness of the Biya
regime. Due to unemployment and frustration, many youths
have become highway robbers. Security is almost non-existent
in the country. It is very normal for thieves to mug
ordinary people in broad daylight. In many cases, even the
police are incapable of intervening. It is even alleged that
the weapons the criminals use to terrorize ordinary citizens
are arms that have been given to them by the police and, in
some cases, with the knowledge of police bosses. Cameroon,
once an oasis of peace, is today a country ruled by
gangsters; gangsters who sometimes enjoy the support of top
government officials. (Opinion - name removed) |
100 Ways to Pilfer a Public Corporation:
Notes from the Trial of Gerard Ondo Ndong
Why Poor Countries Are Poor
The rot starts with government, but it afflicts the
entire society. There's no point investing in a business because the
government will not protect you against thieves.
 (So you might as well
become a thief yourself.) There's no point in paying your phone bill
because no court can make you pay. (So there's no point being a phone
company.) There's no point setting up an import business because the
customs officers will be the ones to benefit. (So the customs office is
under-funded and looks even harder for bribes.) There's no point getting
an education because jobs are not handed out on merit. (And in any case,
you can't borrow money for school fees because the bank can't collect on
the loan.)
It is not news that corruption and perverse incentives matter. But
perhaps it is news that the problem of twisted rules and institutions
explains not just a little bit of the gap between Cameroon and rich
countries but almost all of the gap. Countries like Cameroon fall far
below their potential even considering their poor infrastructure, low
investment, and minimal education. Worse, the web of corruption foils
every effort to improve the infrastructure, attract investment, and
raise educational standards.
A Nation Beyond Curing
She is like a festering tropical ulcer oozing
a purulent discharge. What a desolate ruin; bribery taints the
courts, graft and corruption dominate the civil service and
hypocrisy tears the false churches springing on every hill in the
nation, while infernal lying is a trademark of the state.
