Barrister Akere Muna has revealed that Anglophone territories have undergone an annexation by Francophone Cameroon. Akéré Muna, made the revelation in a televised conversation with Spectrum Télévision (STV) on December 29, 2016.
The former President of the Bar Association argued that the current Northwest and Southwest Regions were independent before the October Reunification in 1961.
Akéré Muna contested the statements of those who declare the contrary and pointed out that Southern Cameroons existed as an independent country. “People had different agendas. I think that for some, it was necessary to mask an annexation and for the others, it was two States. And this desire on the side of Southern Cameroon was so clear that they demanded there be independence before the Reunification. So West Cameroon celebrated its independence at the Centenary Stadium in Victoria before the Reunification. “Muna also brandished documents referring to the independence of West Cameroon and asserted that he attended the proclamation of the independence of that entity.
The former president of Transparency International also observed that during the Foumban negotiations in 1961, “Southern Cameroons did not suspect that there was another game going on “.
He added that prior to Nigeria’s independence; Southern Cameroons was managed as an integral part of Nigeria with headquarters at Enugu. But his father, Solomon Tandeng Muna had demanded and obtained that Southern Cameroons be detached from Nigeria before its independence to avoid future negotiations with both Cameroon and Nigeria.
Akéré Muna noted that the Anglophone problem has two sides- One legal and the other political. “On the legal side, we can do a lot of things that have been done, which have completely truncated the truth. But I think that the solution tothe problem of our country does not lie in the past. The actions we are undertaking today will determine the future.”

Government is presently in a desperate attempt to forcefully get schools to resume come Monday Jan 9. Huge sums of money were dulled out to traditional rulers this Christmas through Governors to 1st class rulers, SDOs to 2nd class and DOs to 3rd class rulers. Whilst we caution any of our fathers who have taken this money of wickedness not to further desecrate the throne and their authority by taking the wrong side in this struggle, we appeal to all stakeholders not get give up at this point in time, when victory is so close.
"Those who are for us are more than those who are against us." That's the only reason to be advanced for the fact the President's speech leaked more than 3hrs to presentation. We have friends in very high places.
After failing to force-start schools on the 9th, Yaoundé will also be forced to face reality.
The multiple secret visits to Bamenda yesterday and today by very highly placed and thought of members of government is another sign of desperation. That the government up to now has not effected nor announced any measures taken to solve either the problems raised by lawyers or teachers is indicative of the fact that we all run a great danger if we allow the strike to collapse. If it does, we shall be greatly spited and the regime will not be under pressure to address these grievances.
For union leaders and others at the forefront of this struggle, beware! It has been revealed in the spirit realms, the release of a huge amount of VOODOO money meant to maim the brain and cause heavy carnage.
We hereby call on all to fear God and resist the enemy that he may flee from us.
Dear fathers, mothers, and children, remember that teachers and lawyers are not fighting for personal gains.
Also, do not forget that our kids gave up their lives so that their siblings may have a brighter future; that scores of them are still under abduction.
Remember, DO NOT let us down at the finish line.
Communication of Jan 4th 2017.
Time; 4:53am.
Tassang Wilfred,
NESG CATTU.

A Fatal accident has occurred between a Mercedes ML and a Range Rover on the Douala-Yaoundé highway. The two cars collided leaving five dead and one gravely injured.
The accident occurred around the Dibamba Bridge not very far from Missole, about 33 kilometers away from the metropolitan city of Douala.
The information provided by a security personnel who preferred to remain anonymous shows that bad overtaking and high speed is the root cause of the accident.
They equally stated that the Mercedes ML and the range rover both driving from Yaoundé found themselves under a truck. Smoke was emanating from the truck obstructing visibility.
Bad overtaking is the main cause of many road accidents in Cameroon and it is of common knowledge that these roads are narrow in nature and prune to accidents.

The Government Delegate to the Bamenda City Council, Vincent NDUMU has announced that HYSACAM, a company in charge of collection and recycling of refuse will be officially installed in the city in 2017. Ndumu who has come under fire recently in the way garbage is managed in Bamenda also said that the Council has signed over 5 billion Fcfa deal with HYSACAM for five years.
According to the government delegate, the coming of HYSACAM will reduce the heavy load and burden on BBC resources. Before the arrival of HYSACAM next year, the Bamenda City Council has been using its own resources to collect and dispose waste in the city for a meager sum of about 350 000 000 Fcfa for one year.
But Mr NDUMU said the coming of HYSACAM will mean dozens who were working in the Hygiene and Sanitation department will have to be sacked, hence it will cause massive unemployment. Even though he reassured that he could integrate them in other services, a majority of workers stand to lose their jobs.
Garbage disposal in the North West regional capital of Bamenda has been a thorn in the flesh of the Government Delegate who has been accused of not working to preserve the beauty of the town which is gradually fading into a jungle.But he says that those who are accusing him are ignorant of the huge task the Council has.
He cited the case of markets where taxes are far below what they use to dispose garbage from the markets. Vincent NDUMU has challenged City Dwellers to tell him which Government Delegate out of the 14 has worked hard like him to embellish the town. He frowned at media reports which according to him always target his personality.
