BAMENDA, HERE IT WAS


After the issue, the driver was not happy with me because he expected me to have gone farther down away from where the vehicle wash was packed. He said I was very dull. The dullest passenger he had met. Taking insults was a small deal. I was the one wearing the shoes and I knew what I felt. I explained that I did not know I would see another police check point very close to the army check, so had to see a way to by pass meeting them up front.
He said the soldiers started looking for me after I left and were very angry. That they saw hell in the hands of the police because of me.

Anyway, that was the last control I met before getting to bamenda.

Bamenda was situated on a hill. Very cold. Just like Jos. I was always covered.

After some days, I moved around and started about what I went there for.
Electricity can go on without cut for like 2 days. If they cease it, rest assured, it will be restored within few minutes.
I cried in my heart for Nigeria.
But they hold Nigeria in high esteem for both good and bad

I really think the Ambazonians are not against biafrans, but when it comes to money, they most take.. But the soldiers, police and jamdam from the francophone are against Biafra, I suppose

heniford2:
the drive knows all this people is a deal they strike with the drive if Amba wan deal with you na to hold you and demand ramsom the driver also noticed you do not have enough cash the would have reaped you off more anyway continue ur gist no dull moment

Anyway, it's true, I kept crying to the driver, that I didn't have enough money, that I was a student. It was all God, seriously. I really noticed the hand of God in the journey. If not, I would have paid more than what I did

Another control



I was now tired of the entire issues. But I could do nothing. After a long while, we arrived at the army check point at Bali. We all had to put on our face mask and alight for the routine. I was caught up in a catch 22 situation, whether to show my international passport or to tell them I had lost my ID. But with what accent? I queried my mind. I didn't want to betray or show them that I was a Nigerian from my accent. Here I was stammering with a broken Pidgin trying to hide my identity as I cooked up a lie. But it wasn't really a lie. I told them with a little mutter that I was not with my ID.
By then, they had checked my vehicle and they had crossed and were waiting for me. They would wait for some time.
They asked me again and I told them I was not with my ID.
They told me to sit down at a spot there and continued to attend to others.
I sat and was wondering on what to do. My vehicle was waiting for. I continued to pray in my heart. After what seemed like a moment or two fleeted away, I stood up, because attention was not on me again, but it took courage to muster such a decision and effrontery. For what it's worth, these were uniform men who were blood-lust because of the attacks they have received from the Amba boys. They could kill you and term you, Amba boy. Nothing could be said about it.

After waiting, my driver came to meet them in order to save me. As he was about to initiate words with them, I slowly moved close to their packed bags of sand where they were attending to people. The driver turned to me and told me to walk away. Scram! I hurriedly walked away without looking back.
As I approached our waiting vehicle, Sunday, the Nigerian passenger friend signaled me to keep moving down the road to a great distance. So I did.

But as I was going down the bend away from our parked vehicle, I immediately met police checkpoint very close to the army check point. My heart palpated. I had to cross to the other side of the road where shops and people were. It was as though one of the police signaled me to come. I did as though I was pressed and took away my face and went to force myself to urinate at the back of the shops. After that I took off my shirt and left my white polo T shirt on, holding my shirt on the hand. I stayed at the back of the shop for a while and later called a bike man coming from another junction beside the police checkpoint, from another street. I paid him 100cfa and told him to move fast. He carried me and crossed the point. I stayed and waited for my vehicle to come.




......

GOD HELPED ME.

As we moved, I encountered more things on the way I nearly got arrested. I nearly got my phone seized, but God used to driver to help me.. On one occasion, the passengers all alighted to show their IDs. The citizens and foreigners. I was musing over what to tell them and the amount to pay, but I was praying in my heart. As they were checking others, I followed one and entered their base. The number of people there were a little many. Immediately I entered, as they were attending to the Nigerian there and other people, I turned and started coming out, as though I had been checked by the ones inside. The ones outside didn't know I was not checked. I evaded that control.

heniford2:
they don't have issues with Biafra bro stop spreading fake news but you see you as a Nigeria the believe you have money the will like to reap you off your money those drivers are they friend the understand each other so the put fear into you in other to pay more.

It is true but not always. The driver even helped me. Besides, it's not just the soldiers that collect money, the Amba boys, immigration, police and the ones they call jamdam

The following Day

We continued our journey to Bamenda from MAMFE. The new Nigerian Passenger we picked up spoke their pidgin very well and French. At first, I did not know he was a Nigerian, from my State. He spoke words with their accent, like.... Nou, whosi... And others. Some words may be hard for a Nigerian to understand, but I kept looking in expectations.i had spent a lot and was going to spend more. The Nigerian told me that If I wanted to go back, I should budget like 100k for the road. He also told me not to present my international passport, but rather to tell them I lost my ID card. That would reduce the amount I would pay. But that alone led me to another big issue that would have caused me to take a gunshot

Zenithh:
Those Ambazanian boys no one take eyes see Nigerians. The worse na if u go there shout Biafra...aaa..e go dem to blow off ur head

It's serious

ELECTRICITY AND FOOD STUFF

I must say, Nigeria is more developed than Cameroon, but Cameroon has almost consistent electricity. Even though, we supply electricity to them and every house has good water supply, even in the toilets and food stuff is cheap. But other things that are imported are expensive, like drug


CORRUPTION

We say Nigeria is corrupt, yes we are, but in Cameroon? No. They are 'corrupter', if there is a word like that. Everything could be bought with a little money.. They said it is because of the current crisis.
I was learning a lot.
But Cameroonians like the way, culture, music, films and mentality of Nigerians

THE NEW SHOCK IN CAMEROON

As we were moving, I was told by the driver not to speak, otherwise, I show tell them I was a Nigerian. The road was filled with checkpoints and, in their words, 'controls'. The crisis, which started in 2016 or thereabouts, has turned men like, pardon the word, slaves in their own land.
At each check point or control, the passengers would come down and all would show their ID cards.
My issue continued as I was with a Nigerian passport. I would have to pay them.
And I had to. You can't beg them. The men had no mercy with them. Either you pay or they cease your passport and have you arrested or killed because of the issues in the country.
By payment, I mean, paying like 5000 cfa. Or something like that.
I didn't know what I would expect on the way, so I didn't budget for that. I was with my mouth open, wondering what to do.
The driver was even saying I was lucky, that Nigerians pay more. On one occasion, a Nigerian had to pay 250k at a spot. They are just ripping Nigerian off.
At another spot, four Nigerians paid 20k each to the Amba boys, apart from the soldiers, jamdam or immigrations. It was hell.


We got to one checkpoint, the driver, who was God-sent, dropped me off and flagged down a bike man. I was taken through another route with another Nigerian passenger, in order to bypass the control.



MAMFE

I didn't know MAMFE was a town in Cameroon, until we got there and decided to sleep over for the night. But first, I was served grilled fish with boboro made with cassava, that smelled like fufu.
The Anglohone has been influenced by Nigerian music and culture.
The air was a bit Nigerian. They import many things from Nigeria, like fuel, sachet water, phones and many others. Those imported things were very expensive

My Tale continues

Cameroon is made up of two main parts, the French-speaking Francophone and the English speaking, Anglo phone. The France colonialists married the two into a country, but the marriage has not worked out. The Anglohone are fighting to seceed to form a new country, Ambazonia, saying they are being marginalized, though being the source of the nation's resources.

Ergo, this disagreement ensued into a full-blown crisis in the country between he francophone and the the Anglohone. Many have been killed on the two fronts.
Hence, the President, from the French side, Paul Biya, who is the second president since Cameroon got independence in the 60's or so. He has been in power for up to 30 years.
He keeps sending soldiers and military strengths to wage war with the Amba boys.
I met a lot of them on the way. Who gave me chills on noticing I was a Nigerian.

My Journey to Bamenda, Cameroon


This is the tale of my journey to Bamenda, one of the English-speaking regions of Cameroon from Nigeria. I could never forget my encounters on the way as a Nigerian.

PREPARATION FOR THE JOURNEY
I moved to Port Harcourt where I got my yellow fever card from the immigration and updated my covid card, but the latter was not needed for the journey.
I had a Cameroonian I was chatting with over the phone who gave me instructions. But he did not tell me what I would encounter as a Nigerian on the way.
I left on November-ending, this year, to Cross River, from Port Harcourt to Akwa Ibom and then to Calabar. This was because I couldn't get a transpo to Calabar, as it was late when I got to the bus station. I arrived Calabar very late at night and lodged in a hotel. The next morning, I set off for the main Journey.

THE MAIN JOURNEY
I boarded a vehicle to Ikom, a border town with Cameroon. The road was bad. The journey took like 4 hours or so.
On getting to Ikom, I decided to change our naira to cfa, Cameroonian franc. I was surprised to know that the two were now coming close in value at the black market. 930 naira to 1000 cfa, and they had even bigger denominations as one paper bill. For instance, they have a 10000 cfa as a paper bill and they also have coins for, like 100cfa.


CROSSING THE BORDER
I paid a driver 10000 naira to cross me through the Nigerian border to Ekok, Cameroon. The driver knew his onions, as he was conversant with the route.
At the border, I paid 1k to the immigration as a tip because of my new driver friend. Otherwise, they could have collected more. I was driven through the border to Ekok, Cameroon, past the Cameroonian immigration.
That's when my surprises started.

CAMEROON
It was surprising to see a new country that did almost every communication in English and much more in Cameroonian pidgin. They can easily know you are a Nigerian if you speak
That became a huge problem for me as I paid through the nose to evade arrest, extortion and other issues on the way







More to come. Indicate interest for me to continue

Former governor of old Kaduna State and National Chairman of Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Alhaji Abdulkadir Balarabe Musa, has called for the zoning of the 2019 presidency to the Igbo . In this interview with
Saturday Sun’s NOAH EBIJE in Kaduna, Musa said this has become necessary because the Igbo have been cheated for too long by denying them a shot at the presidency over the years.
The PRP national leader also alleged that Hausa and Yoruba should be held responsible for the political backwardness of the Igbo.
He wondered why the nation’s dominant ethnic groups find it difficult to tolerate an Igbo presidency, adding that the northern elders’ push for a consensus northern presidential candidate for the 2019 polls is all about their personal rather than national interests. He warned that the bid is bound to fail like previous attempts.


Sir, there is a move by Northern Elders Forum (NEF) to adopt a consensus presidential candidate for 2019. Is that a vote of no confidence in Buhari?



Why do we always talk of Northern elders? Who are they, other than fighting for their own personal interest? If they are adopting a consensus presidential candidate, it means a vote of no confidence in one them. But the thing is that why do they always talk of Northern presidency, what about a president from somewhere else other than the North. Why is it always the North? During the Second Republic, the gate-keepers from the West, East and North got the military off our back and got somebody brought by the North because it stopped the military from taking over power. Immediately after the Obasanjo’s regime in 1979, the civilians started planning which group could take over power from the military, with the hope of restraining the military from taking power again. So during Obasanjo’s time, there was agreement that Obasanjo would return power to the civilian in 1979. But the problem was how can they be sure that the military would not come back under any guise. So in the end, they agreed that restraining the military from coming back to power, they have to have somebody from the North because they thought that the North has the cohesion and the might greater than the West and the East in restraining the military from taking over power. Because of this conspiracy of power between the North, West and the East, they jointly agreed that the presidency come from the North, because Northern power bloc has the capacity to restrain the military from taking over power. And they brought in Shehu Shagari who said that he did not see himself more than a local government chairman. But the North, the West and the East conspired and donated the presidency to the North.
They said anybody from the North was okay; and Shagari became anybody from the North. What has the North benefitted from it? Then after June 12, 1993, there was instability without accommodating the South West because the West was not historically strong like the North. The West was perpetually a troublemaker. They have the control of the media, the
professionals and so on. So to bring about unity, the South West has to be consoled; the presidency should be donated to the South West. The North and the South West agreed. And Obasanjo who was not in the picture was picked because of this conspiracy. Obasanjo became the president. Later when they found out that the South South controls the lifeline of the country in terms of oil , and the zone has been kept outside power, the same power bloc of the North, the West and the East, agreed that the South-South should be given the presidency. And Jonathan became the president. Now, I don’t know for what reason there is the conspiracy again between the North, West, East and even the South South that the power should go back to the North again for countless numbers. Why should we continue with this recycle? The North has been in power for so many times. Even out of 10 former presidents, I think seven came from the north, one came from the South West, and one from South South, and none from the South East, why none from the South East? It is because of the fear of Northern oligarchy and the South West bourgeoisie, because the Igbo bourgeoisie is republican and more competitive than the Northern and Southern bourgeoisie? Why not comply with national character and donate the presidency, because it is donation, this time to the Igbo. It is donation because it has nothing to do with the votes of the people.


Don’t you think that it is because Igbo are agitating for a republic of their own?



No, it is not because the Igbo were agitating for a republic. Igbo are more
Nigerian than the North or South West in terms of their commitments to the unity of Nigeria . And this is right from 1950s. They are more committed to the Nigeria project. Let’s even talk of tribe; the Igbo are more committed to national unity. They have never expressed separatist tendency, until after the war because of the effect of the war. They have always been for one united Nigeria than the Yoruba and Hausa that have always been secessionists.


Don’t you also think that the case for Biafra republic is working against the Igbo to take a shot at the presidency?



It was because the civil war hit them badly. The civil war ended over 40 years ago, we should forgive everybody and forge ahead. The Igbo felt not wanted in Nigeria or something like that. So it makes them slow down their commitment to the unity of Nigeria. They became committed to separation. So historically, it is the Igbo that are more committed to one Nigeria. Even now if you take the separatist tendency and look at the separatist tendency in the North by Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), in the West as represented by Afenifere, and in the East by Ohanaeze Ndigbo, that separatist tendency from the East is not as serious as that of the North and the West. It is easy to compromise once you bring sense of belonging to the Igbo separatists, they will go back to one united Nigeria. But in the case of Northerners, the Hausa and the Yoruba, it is very difficult because of this inhibition. You know, feudal arrangement makes it now difficult to convince the Hausa about the unity of Nigeria. But it is easier to convince the Igbo. So, why keeping the Igbo out of power for so long? Is it because of the civil war or because of the fear that they are more competitive? There is no doubt about it; Igbo are more competitive both in practice and history . The Igbo are more competitive than the Hausa and the Yoruba. The Hausa and Yoruba bourgeoisie are afraid of this, in particular when there is so much to share in Nigeria. They are afraid of the Igbo because they are not competitive. Igbo are more competitive because they don’t have inhibition. The inhibition of Hausa, the inhibition of Yoruba is not there. The Yoruba can only talk of Oduduwa, the Hausa can only talk to you about empires and so on. But the Igbo are not that inhibitive, they are more republican. You can say largely that Igbo are free thinkers; they are more free thinkers than the Hausa and the Yoruba, which means Igbo can take things on face value, while the Yoruba and Hausa will not. Igbo are more competitive in terms of economic activities. An Igbo man is more competitive than a Yoruba man and an Hausa man.


In view of what is happening in Taraba and Benue States; killings by herdsmen, do you think the North can speak with one voice again?



Forget about the North, they are always deceiving themselves about unity. But talking about power bloc, yes, there is. However there is evidence that they are speaking with one voice in terms of this attitude towards cattle colony. In any case, the ruling class in the North is more hegemonous than the equivalent in the South East or South West. They can easily resolve their differences. They will eventually speak with one voice. You remember when the civil war came, which was brought about by the conflicts between the North, West and the East. But in the end, when you take everything into consideration, the North came together to fight the civil war irrespective of whether they are Christians, Muslims or whatever tag, they came together to fight the civil war. Now, remember when the civil war came, the Ojukwu soldiers virtually represented the whole South East and the South South. They drove away federal forces from that zone. Then Ojukwu, after liberating the South East and the South South, called East then, started emerging towards the South West and Awolowo, the arch opponent of the Northern bourgeoisie became afraid, because the Ojukwu soldiers are now marching towards the West, I think towards Ore. The Biafran forces after liberating the South East began to march towards Ore, which gave Awolowo, who was the arch opponent of Northern bourgeoisie the fear that after all, the Biafra was interested in taking over the entire Nigeria. At this time I was a student in London, so I was free from the Northern inhibition, I was free to speak in terms of one Nigeria. I was aware of the activities in London because of a report that Nigeria’s plans were hatched in London.
It was only Aminu Kano Movement and Tarka Element in the North that was talking about one united Nigeria, the rest northern bourgeoisie were talking about separation. Let the country separate into North, West and East, let everybody take his part. They were thinking like that. But when Awolowo met the Sultan of Sokoto , asking for forces between the North and the South West to counter the Igbo march. Then Aminu Kano’s talakawas became relevant, the Northern bourgeoisie couldn’t do it, they couldn’t listen to South West bourgeoisie to fight Igbo bourgeoisie without consulting Aminu Kano’s talakawas whom they ignored before. They consulted them; and then Aminu Kano made them to understand that keeping Nigeria united was better.


What is your reaction to Obasanjo and IBB’s letters to Buhari?



It is stupid. Nobody should be deceived. They have not performed better than Buhari. In what way have any of them performed better than Buhari. In fact, you can say Buhari is less exposed to so many things like corruption and so on. In the case of PRP, when we supported Buhari right from 2003 when he showed his interest in the presidency, we made it quite clear that of all the people that wanted to rule Nigeria, Buhari was the least risk, we didn’t say he is the most suitable. We said he is the least risk, because the level of his courage and credibility was higher than those who were contesting with him. I dare tell you, even today , if you look at those who want to contest with him, almost all of them came from the North. Take any of them, who among them can you say is credibly better than Buhari, better in performance than Buhari? This is Nigeria’s tragedy. There is no doubt, Buhari has failed, but those contesting power with him are more likely to fail than him. This is the trouble. So we have the task of bringing somebody who can perform better than Buhari. But it is not that easy, because of the leading role of moneybag politics. So how do we get somebody that will perform better than Buhari. I am not campaigning for Buhari. I have never campaigned for him. But this is the truth because we must attach quality to our judgment.
But today, it appears that religion and ethnicity have divided the North.
No. They have not been divided in the North. It has not gone that far yet. Up till now, the North is more hegemonous than the South. Can you imagine now a Yoruba man tolerating an Igbo president, can you imagine it? But a Northerner, Hausa/Fulani from Kano can tolerate a Tiv man becoming the president of Nigeria. Ordinarily, the North is more hegemonous than the South.

Sir, lets go back to the Northern elders, don’t you think they are being selfish and undemocratic about their move for consensus presidential candidate?

They are not united; they are just concerned about their class, and not about the people of the north. That is why they are in this conflict.


What do you think is the way out of the farmers/Fulani herdsmen clashes across the country?


The Federal government must come out clearly on the issue. Everybody, the farmers, the herdsmen have the rights, but they are infringing on each other’s rights, simply because of the neglect of the Federal Government.
As the farmland is important to the farmer, so also is the cow important to the Fulani herdsman. So government must make a categorical statement on this crisis for peace to reign was better.

VATICAN CITY—As scandals continued to erupt around Pope Francis, Catholic faith in the Supreme Pontiff quickly plummeted, prompting the College of Cardinals to elect a new pope to replace him.
Knowing the Church needed a major shift in theology and practice, the Cardinals turned to an unlikely candidate to replace Francis: pastor and author John Piper.
Piper’s changes to the Church were swift and far-reaching. He immediately revoked traditional Roman Catholic teachings on justification, abolished prayers to saints, and ordered relics and icons across the globe destroyed. He also issued a decree making 7-point Calvinism the official position of the Church.
“Pope John is tough, but fair,” said one Cardinal. “We’re still getting used to the whole justification by faith thing, and he’s definitely a lot more animated than previous Popes, but we think it’s gonna work out. We really needed this kind of a Reformation.”
“I’m really interested in hearing about this soul-satisfying, all-consuming passion for the glory of God he keeps talking about,” he added.
At publishing time, after making a whole host of sweeping reforms throughout Catholicism, Piper had rebuked himself for taking on the unbiblical role of Head of the Church, fired all the cardinals and bishops, and abolished the papacy altogether.

Harvard University uses Nigeria as a case study of a failed African country

Harvard University gave to its students an assignment in which Nigeria was used as a case study of a failed African country. It question stated that the country had failed to thrive for its first thirty years as an independent nation.

The question Harvard University gave its students reads;

Africa is growing. Seven of the the ten fastest growing economies in the world are in Africa, and the continent’s largest economies are becoming less dependent on extractive commodities. The continent’s rising middle class has demonstrated a taste for consumer goods and technological innovation, and Africa’s population-currently more than a billion people- is booming and overwhelmingly young at a time when populations in other regions are shrinking and aging.

Nigeria, sub-saharan Africa’s largest economy, epitomizes both the promise and the problems the continent faces in the 21st century. The country had failed to thrive for its first thirty years as an independent nation, despite having a developmental head start relative to countries like China and India, as well as hundreds of billions of dollars in oil revenue.. Now, after pathbreaking reforms followed by signs of retrenchment, Nigeria’s new President faced both vast opportunity and grave challenges. Would the country flourish or founder in this new era? We will analyze key reforms in Nigeria’s economy, significant political developments, and the choices facing the country’s fast-growing private sector.

Why did Nigeria fail to thrive between 1960 and 1999, particularly relative to China and India?
How would you characterize former President Obasanjo’s legacy?
Are you bullish or bearish on the next fifteen years for Nigeria? What would make you change your mind? What opportunities do you see? What are the challenges (and risks)
It was in the news recently that a 15-year-old Nigerian girl was offered admission to the prestigious Harvard University in United States of America. Saheela Ibraheem is the 15-year-old daughter of a Nigerian immigrant family living in New Jersey, United States. Since news broke about Saheela’s incredible acceptance to 13 of American’s prestigious Universities, local and International media took interests in the teen’s success story.

The hashtag #fund5000YouWinconnectwinners has been trending on social media websites like Twitter and Instagram. This is owing to the anger of the youth who were finalists at the just concluded youwin connect entreprenuerial master class training. The 5000 of them, on the premise that the previous youwin programs which were started by the Good Luck Jonathan Administration were true to their words to release funds for the finalists, vent their anger to who wants to hear. The just concluded youwin connect was met with flared tempers as the participants in some of their locations of training were told to forget about the fund as there was none, but to be empowered by the training. This has caused many tongues to wag and more rumors to fly as many think that they have become victims and baits to be used for the coming election.

I like the news. Let's keep selling them . Deities are not what promote culture and heritage. I don't care what someone below will say

AkunnaTochi:


Do yourself some good - talk less and study more.

And defend evil. Study the history of Catholicism and not the doctored one by your papacy. You are the one bemused for defending evil. If we have priests who are married what stops the church from allowing those promiscuous ones from getting married too. Sheepishly defending nonsense. Read 1 Timothy 4:3 where the Bible said that in the latter days men will forbid others from getting married. Anyway I remember you people hardly study the Bible. Check in your bulletin then. It's even recently you people started doing some things like praying in the Holy Ghost or even using the Bible just to cage men in deception. Please don't quote me again. My last statement on this : The catholic church will keep reducing as men find out more in the church. Good bye

I know. We Igbos and Catholicism. Go on and defend evil. Give the Priest another standing ovation. Who cares. I speak the truth no matter what. The other time I posted about Adeboye using wooden staff to pray. I don't pamper evil. Even if it happened in my room. That's the difference between us both. Eeh? Go on. Die for catholic. I don't give a bleep. Afterall you will see how you have failed yourselves. Evil continues to rule because of people like you..

AkunnaTochi:
Prosper, I thought you knew so much about the Catholic Church. How come you never knew there are married Priests in the Catholic Church?
Perhaps, you knew nothing at all.

we have married priests. But they choose celibacy immediately they decide for priesthood.

kennypedia:
How?

Can't you see the number of Muslims in South West is massively skyrocketing?

PaChukwudi44:
