This ridicule, shame, disgrace and unending mockery is gone beyond limits, has attained its pinnacle, threshold and must be curtailed.

one?"
For so many years,we have had administrative and political jurisdictions attributed to us but how have these been beneficial to us apart from enriching certain families at the detriment of the Oroko?I thought that when the "populist left" took over Toko Council in 2007,i was to observe eventual changes.But it went from bad to worse and then i came to the conclusion that,neither the far right,central coalition or populist left ideologies were not involved but that the Oroko Prophets were totally responsible for our plight.
I can't imagine for once that someone who claims to be an intellectual and a barrister at law with his own chambers could crumble a council when elected as mayor.I can't believe that someone who was revered for what he incarnates turned out to be the worst mayor ever,he sold all council vehicles, council workers went for months without salaries,took away council stamps/valuable documents after his defeat and traveled abroad.

The Dean of the faculty of agriculture and veterinary medicine at the Buea University is an Oroko professor but the last time i checked the list of undergraduate students in his faculty,there were three out of over 217.When i asked why he didn't go around to sensitize and inform Oroko students plus parents, i was asked on who's budget and what for?The entrance exams will be launched again soon,prof do something to challenge me!
Yes,Pa may be dead but the memories of his haydays as director of scholarships at MINEDUC still linger on and his hatred for other Oroko villages will never ebb away.Memories of his preference to his native Dikome Balue children is not new,he was the basis of this "osa boraka proud" attached to the Dikome Balue people.I still don't understand how such a person came to be elected mayor.May your soul rest in peace pa but your Dikome Balue people will remember you for your good deeds and hope they erect your statue infront of the council.
There is this Oroko chief who was secretary general at the water ministry in Yaounde for over five years.But what baffles each and everyone of us is the fact that,there is no water in his council of origin not even in his home village.He drinks bottled water and bathes from water pumped-out of his bore-hole when visiting.Now,he has been appointed SG at another ministry and he even boasted at a central coalition meeting about what his has done for his people.
Take a look at the two Oroko Pa Chiefs, one as board chairman and the other Pa Chief group palms manager at Bota-Limbe.Not until manager was retired and board chairman died did the Oroko ever came to know about them,so who benefited?
Take a look at both Pa Chiefs, former and actual board chairman at Lobe Estate,how are or were these people beneficial to the Orokos?
Not until a couple of months ago coincidentally did i get to know that,the secretary general at ministry of higher education (MINESUP) is an Oroko professor.Mr SG,concours are out again and this time we have a school in Kumba,(K-town),take the challenge and prove me wrong.I heard your "sleeping mayor" now senator wants to do something and sent out a coded message to this effect.Is he working with you or is it his initiative because if it is,then it's another false alarm but he's another Oroko false prophet, a big one from his days at guichet unique,mayor and now senator.
Your so called Oroko "headboy" HEchiefDr has let his cows loose to devour the crops of his people from Bekora-Bongongo 2 Barombi-Mbonge-Small & Big Ngangjo-Kumbe Balondo-Mafanja-Dieka Bafaw and Bieanga.People have to fence their farms such as to ward-off his murderous animals in their quest for green grass.From his enam days and as a "commonwealth boy", i knew he doesn't represent the Orokos.There is even an "illegal" mixed control post infront of his royal majesty's palace in Bongongo 1 Barombi.Oroko people are harassed, molested and assaulted right under his very eyes,tell me where on earth or in Cameroon can that happen?Don't just think about the Bamenda Highlands because the so called law enforcement officers won't last a minute but it is accepted by a man who claims to be "Oroko headboy",please help us wipe this shame and disgrace.
I can go on and on,point fingers at all of you the so called honourables,senators,directors,chiefs,mayors and managers.But let your conscience judge you,let it pass its verdict and let us know if you are a true Oroko Messenger and not a False Prophet of the Oroko.
I maybe wrong in my thinking,hating and insulted as an idle person for the way i look at things but i am of the opinion that we have been betrayed by our representatives.Either they are afraid to channel and convey our problems to the appropriate quarters, are afraid to defend our problems, are ashamed to present the true image of our plight, are afraid to lose their positions or God knows what is wrong with them because others are bringing development to their people.But honestly speaking,i don't think anything has changed within the Oroko Land over the last 25 years or is it the council house in Ekondo Titi or the never available electricity that came from Kumba bypassed all other Oroko villages and only started from Bongongo 1 Barombi and the so called SG at that ministry an Oroko chief,stood by and watched?
And you tell me that something is not wrong with the Oroko Leaders or representatives?I disagree with you,please prove me wrong,maybe i have been carried away by emotions instigated by pain and anguish especially as the rains are around again.
Peace and Love to all Oroko People, one day we will crow!
You surely bring positive shame to our leaders. They won't like you but we do like you. A few years ago, a group called Konja ya Balue wrote a letter to Chief Dr. Dion Ngute on the marginalization of the Balue people and the Oroko people in Bana ba Oroko Facebook page harassed this group and hailed the chief as a demi-god who has meant everything to the Oroko people. I am happy you have taken your time to chronicle the inactions of these so-called paupets.
ReplyDeleteI once had a conversation with Hon.Chief Mbile of Lipenja 1 on how the 8million each micro project funds, channeled through the our three parliamentarians to their constituents could be used to change the misfortune of the people into fortunes. He hushed me by telling me that I shouldn't talk about that money because the money belong to them. How unfortunate we had such miscreant as a representative of the people. I had this same discussion same with Chief Esoh Itoh and he advised me to put it in writing. I did but the parliamentarians are still not accountable to the Ndian people on how these funds are disbursed. It is a shame. The people must have meetings with these representatives to discuss the future of our division.Or new leaders with good conscience and scruples should be elected with a plan in place on how some of these funds shall be used before we can elect them into office. It is ridiculous, to say the least! Thanks for bringing these issues to the forefront.
Sir,i feel much relief that many people are getting interested and expressing their views.Am also happy that the current situation of the Orokoman bothers most of us especially our young generation.
DeleteDon't mind these false prophets of the Oroko,you just get the feeling they are not Oroko people everytime you happen to raise up issues plaguing us.These people have taken us "hostage" while they swim in wealth,drive plush cars and live in castles.The last time i talked with that your Chief Esoh Itoh man,he told me that he was reaping the sweat of his labour,that we young people of today thing that life is easy,we don't want to want,we are not patient.
I just hope that we are getting somewhere and that someone somewhere will listen,hear us and take action.Let's continue to play our roles in passing on the information,bringing into light our plight-who knows,they might just make a 180 degrees turn and do something for the good of the Oroko people.
Thank you again and i hope to have you back.
