Is this a joke or just provocation?
Whoever dreamt up this obnoxious idea stands condemned in the most strongest terms. They are asking the same Diaspora they have maligned and even banished from Cameroon to contribute. It has confirmed my worst fears about Manyu people in the CPDM: their capacity to shock and scandalize is infinite. The Manyu Man is My 2017 Person of the Year

There is hardly any human being who embodies the completeness of creation as much as the Manyu man does. A bundle of contradiction who questions himself/herself at every turn, a positivist who interrogates his own very essence, the Manyu man is at once a rot on the outside and a creature of untold beauty on the inside. He or she has it all but is a study in emptiness on the use to which his talents are put. The vicissitudes of the ongoing Anglophone crisis and the atrocities of the occupying soldiers have made Manyu the ground zero of the Anglophone resistance; and Manyu people have borne all their suffering with remarkable equanimity.

Without doubt, the Manyu man condones what should be condemned and endures what should be rejected as dehumanizing. He works hard and gains little, shouts himself hoarse at CPDM rallies but keeps a submissive peace in the face of egregious crimes as committed by soldiers who torched houses in Kembong, while claiming to be protecting the people.

Bombarded on all sides by all sorts of vicissitudes, the Manyu man, male or female, embodies all that is right and all that is wrong. He looks forward to a life of progress even as he systematically shuffles backwards in total negation of his own abilities to forge ahead.

Let’s admit it: the Manyu man successfully finds failure in the reverie over incredible success and willfully wrenches defeat from the jaws of victory. He dreams big but acts little, looks forward to a future while actively creating one that would continuously make a better day of even a regrettable yesterday. No person strives harder than the Manyu man to put a full life in a small dream box. Hence the Manyu nation of the best and the brightest is led by the worst and most despicable.

For the ordinary Manyu man, the vision is often clear but the execution is a problem. What a character! For his or her exertions, for all he or she went through in the year that ended yesterday, the Manyu man is my 2017 Person of the Year. And the story of this bundle of contradictions is best told by Special Duties Minister, Victor Mengot in the communique below. Ostensibly at the request of Paul Biya, Minister Mengot will next Saturday in Mamfe, preside at the launch of a Manyu Solidarity Initiative to raise funds to help Manyu victims of the genocide perpetrated by soldiers at Paul Biya's request. This initiative would have been laughable were it not so pathetic.
