Likewise, the Bekondo customary court area is not happy that,they being the Intelligentsia and population of Mbonge subdivision neither have a mayor,a senator nor a parliamentarian and why should the people of Big Nganjo, take the mayor and senator seats?Why should a man from Dienyi be the chief of Mbonge Marumba and consequently the paramount chief of the Mbonges whereas this should be reserved for a "real son of Mbonge". Why should one person be a parliamentarian always whereas there are many illegible and competent people who can also become an MP?
Why should a mayor and his first deputy not talk to each other in a council like Ekondo Titi, a town the Oroko hold in high esteem?Why should people fight during the installation of the mayor for Dikome Balue, that of Konye, that of Toko, that of Mbonge and what is happening to Pamol?How could a company of that nature go for months without a trained medical doctor or why should a company like Pamol not provide basic hygiene and sanitation facilities to its workers?Why are some people in support of Herakles farms and others not?
Will the Oroko people ever enjoy a macadamized thoroughfare?Apart from the lucky people of Bisoro, Ekombe, Bekondo, ""DK city"" and Mundemba,will the Oroko people ever enjoy living water?
Oh!i heard the chiefs of Ekondo Titi subdivision want to build a mortuary and budgeted over 100 millions of our scarce cfa francs,what a paradox!They are talking about a mortuary when a 37year old small boy DO is terrorizing them and collecting taxes as if he's the taxation officer!Where on earth did you ever see a DO become a taxation officer or supervising clean-up campaigns!so what is the duty of a mayor?
Oh!i almost forgot the so-called Oroko "intellectuals, the elites and those in the so called "diaspora".Oh yes!i heard they started translating the Bible to Oroko in Big Bekondo but will a Balondo Man be able to read a book written in Mbonge?Oh sure, i heard books were donated by OrokoUSA to the Ekondo Titi Library project. Two months ago, i visited that library, thought i saw but Late Dr Zach Fomum's Church and a college?
And what about our politicians?Are they actually our representatives or a bunch of hungry stomachs in the quest for self gratification?The so called chief Dr,Hon chief, Chief board chairman, chief manager, chief GM, chief mayor, president honorable, principal councilor, chief councilor or barrister mayor, chief justice, mayor senator, chief secretary general, chief commissioner, DO this and DO that, governor this and governor that!what has been their role in the Oroko vicious backward quagmire and economic slump?
And the Oroko Students Association dubbed OSA, does it still exist on paper or does it actually reflect/stand for the development/unity as well as well-being of the Oroko people?
So many questions with difficult answers,answers as difficult as going to Dikome Balue in the rainy season or obtaining land in Big Nganjo.
These are just some of the problems plaguing my mind when i return from work and my kids are asleep and their father is snoring beside me.My mind rovers as i wish and pray that my kids will have a better Oroko than that which i live in.
In the upcoming weeks, i will develop most of and attempt to exploit these questions surrounding the Oroko people.Please if inspired, leave your comment.
Someone, some fine time had to nurse the courage to put to the world, such forthright and blunt opinion on the numerous issues plaguing the Oroko wilderness. That someone is certainly you "Oroko Voice" and the "time" is certainly Now. Am happy to've stumbled onto this hitherto unexplored blog. Your right-ups worth the salt reading through them, esp as they remain current and pre-occupying unless and unless a sense of re-awakening springs from our various innerselves. You will injure many minds not bc of the veracity of the revelations (known to us all anyway) but for your caustic style. But as long as it is necessary to speak the truth, come-what-may, do remain unperturbed and ride on. Right thinkers will find reason and worth in this yet another genre of struggle wagged by you to re(awaken) the Orokoman's consciousness.
ReplyDeleteDear Sir,thank you very much for visiting my blog and for talking facts not opinions.I admire your bluntness and straightforwardness,it brings out the intelligence in you as well as the senior Law Enforcement Officer that you are.
DeleteThank you again as i look forward to meeting many 'seniors' through this medium,the last time i checked you out,you were somewhere around Akwa or Jabane. Please,do keep an eye on my blog and tell others.
Am moved with surprise to know I've been on your trail even at this water-logged zone of ours that I've been serving with cool and serenity for a couple of years now. But am sorry to learn you missed me; or was it me who missed you!!! Rest assured...a golden fish hasn't got any hidding palce, for worthwhile initiatives or ventures like the one you are animating won't die at this era that reason occupies the uppermost limits of most minds. And talking of minds, Oroko no longer lacks the reffined minds either. Only an awareness that is needed for concerted efforts. This is just what you are doing in this blog and without publicity, you are touching (positively) many hearts more than a little. Watch-word please: Objectivity in your analysis; whatever criticisms or huddles that shall ensue on your way, your admirers will always give you credence. Who will say the Oroko tribe does not deserve (like other do) an objective communication medium (be it electronic, print or audiovisual) for obvious reasons? Grease elbows.
DeleteSir,thank you for your positive input and guidance,i fully do understand your watch-words.
DeleteFrom a hill-top, I am privileged to know and compass all the few Oroko movers and shakers within Cameroon. I also keep tabs and follow-up on the few Oroko positive minds and representatives that do exist.Thank you again sir and may God bless you.
So many questions that were surposed to have answered by our founding fathers. However we find ourselves today where we are because of a simple fact. GREED AND POWER.
