The Spectator Kingdom of Oroko

May be i talk a lot, see things from the negative point, just another idle mind seeking for notice and in the quest for an appointment to a duty post.Your stance doesn't matter to me because am just doing what am good at,"talking".And even if i were expecting a "nomination au journal de 17 Heures", i won't possibly join a bandwagon of hand clappers, cheerers and banner flyers of the Spectator Kingdom.Yes,the Oroko are a bunch of spectators in their own country,region and divisions of Ndian and Meme.Oroko people have  reclined to the back seat in every activity within Cameroon even when the front seat is unoccupied, they are the first to buy tickets from their hard earned cocoa or to an extent "mbanga and rubber" money to watch games played by others even right inside their backyards.What is wrong with the Oroko?You are the first to send motions of support to headquarters, you are the first to clap, to cheer,hail high the vert-rouge-jaune as if this vert-rouge-jaune has anything to offer you.

From Konye to Dikome Balue to Mundemba via Toko to Bamusso via Ekondo Titi and Mbonge, eleven municipal councils in total,flying the banner of the ruling CPDM party since the inception of multipartism in 1990.Apart from Toko Council that tried the SDF from 2007-2013,the Orokos like fools are dancers of chacha meringue and bikutsi-styled assimba music,waving their palms,nodding their heads,moving their feet and shaking their buttocks,gasping for breath with eyes closed.Eyes that before they get open, the benevolence of the Royal King have been siphoned to other parts of the Kingdom.So,i ask you today,what is the necessity for all these clapping and cheering at a game you never play?Players you know nothing about and go about quarreling among yourselves about their "match bonuses" whereas you are mere spectators?Despite all the oil rich Bakassi peninsular, the rich mangrove fish swamps, the forests rich in timber,mineral resources, all the rubber and palm oil plus cocoa that you produce,when will you commence reaping the fruits of your God blessed lands?When will you start to play such that others will clap for you?Yes,some told me that "all of us must not be players while others went as far as to ask me that "if all us play,who will clap?Oroko people should be crying,gnashing their teeth,put on mourning gowns and not the other way round.We are the largest group of indigenous Cameroonians with over three hundred thousand people occupying two geographical divisions,why are we so far away from the angle of incidence and refraction?Why are we not close to the center or focal point?

Everytime i think about these,my heart breaks and my brain wracks while warm tears of pain, anguish and regret rundown my jolly cheeks.Worse of all is that, right in our own back yard of Kumba, a mokperi in the name of Joyce Endeley was appointed Director of our Oroko School (ENSET Kumba) and these hand clappers were there to cheer her.She might be an Oroko woman but tell me oh,until her appointment did any of you know that she is an Oroko child called Bayande Joyce Mbongo who got married to a mokperi?Honestly,i didn't not even when i walked into her UB office to request for information on NEPAD/AU scholarship,that lady never even made me understand that she was Oroko,she even refused me audience.It is a shame that such a person should be appointed to such a post in the name of the Orokos.Am waiting to see her list of admitted students,i will take the challenge if you won't find just ba kperi,bara ngbi and beh kpekeraka on her list.Prof, i challenge you and that your gate without a fence supporter Bokwe Samuel Ngoe who had this to say during your installation Finally, we are all very happy that the director of HTTTC Kumba has been appointed and installed. With the installation, we are hoping that the school will take off smoothly this academic year. We are very happy that President Biya has kept to his words and promise. We expect that she manages the school well and ensure that there is peace. We don’t want any situation of violence. We are here to show our joy that a child of Meme has been appointed. We thank President Biya for recognising that a Meme daughter can head this school. We give her our full support.Sourced from Cameroonheadlines of Sunday 15th June, 2014. 
Madame Endeley tell the ba kperi that you are an Oroko child,it is time you helped your people like the graffi do or as Prof Agbor Peter Tabi did during his days at minesup.You and minesup SG,Horace Ngomo,should challenge me.I will have a copy of the admission list when published and will revert to you,i promise you,Dr Ngomo and Prof Sakwe Dean of UB agriculture faculty,it's a promise.
The hand clappers were there again as the tv images showed,cheering as minister Sadi Emmanuel installed Joseph Otto Wilson as governor of Yaounde.Then i asked myself,who are they deceiving?How does his governorship profit the Orokoman or how did it profit the Orokos of the Septentrion during his governor days over there or of what benefit was his SDO days at Kumba?In 2006,i talked with that guy,has he started speaking English or let me ask even Pidgin?I still don't understand how a Manoka boy became a flag bearer of the Oroko until a"motion de soutien"was sent to the High Priest for maintaining and renewing confidence in their illustrious son,Son indeed!
I turned my radar towards the public service,no one apart from the SG of land tenure and higher education and the commonwealth headboy in a ministry with three other headboys (relations with assembly,islamic world and francophonie),yes papa,that is what is good for an Oroko man.As SG of water,mines and energy,we could not even have water,so what is the importance of land tenure to us?SG of minesup maybe useful as concours come up but am still to learn of his intervention somewhere.They say we have about three (Ebune,Mboke and Naseri) out of the 58 SDOs and about seven out of the 328 DOs,so the High Priest holds us in high esteem,am so shocked and dismayed when listening to these false prophets praise the high priest.Take a look at our universities,apart from this Oroko woman turned bakweri and the Dean of Agriculture in UB,Prof Sakwe Pierre Nekongo from Bisoro Balue,how many of you know these two
below?

  
I looked at international organizations,none not even the SNH and SONARA that are directly derived from Oroko land,we are not represented just the magidas,betis,bakossi and bassas.I looked at the diplomatic corps both in and out of the great triangle,badluck!I looked at public enterprises nothing!
Don't ask me about the acting GM of Pamol,he is merely acting over two years after the demise of the bayangi man.Even our own Rumpi Project was given to a bayangi man,does it mean we don't have competent Oroko people?That two years after the demise of the bayangi GM,our Oroko brother is still to be confirmed as GM of Pamol?When Mr Njalla Henry Quan passed on,his henchman Njie Frankline Ngoni was immediately confirmed and a couple of weeks later installed as GM of CDC.So why is it taking over two years for our Oroko brother to be confirmed and installed as Pamol GM or is another game of thrones being played?
What is wrong with the Oroko man even after all these years of hand clapping and dancing to the harps and tambourines of the High Priest?It is time we stopped these clapping,dancing and flag flying and become players.We have to join the game and let others sing our praises,let others clap for us and cheer us to victory.Oroko people enough is enough,stop living in a Spectator Kingdom and join the Game Kingdom #stopspectatorkingdom.We have occupied the back seat for too long while the front seat is vacant,let us take action and change seats.

  1. As you wrote above "may be i talk a lot, see things from the negative point". Question - Is there no Oroko son or daughter who is worthy of positive accolades?
    I have seen and witnessed Oroko men and women who have done very positive things.
    Your postings are no doubt an eye opener, keep it up. However, employing some objectivity will go a long way.

    Cheers. Njoh-Njoh.

    1. Sir,am grateful to you for visiting my blog and for having opinionated but i would have preferred facts to opinions.
      I and other Oroko people would love to know our brethren who have offered your purported positive accolades.
      Please, permit me replace your objectivity with prejudice and even if you are "Oroko or by Induction",your roots seem Ngoketunjia (stone untop house),hence your apathy doesn't dazzle me.
      All the same,thank you for your hamburger feedback and hope to have you around.God Bless You Sir!

  2. OROKO IS WHAT AMOUNTS TO BUSH COLONIALISM IN THAT A BUNCH OF NGOLO, BALUE AND BAKUNDU HILL DWELLERS SENSING THAT THEY WERE NON ENTITY IN MANY WAYS DECIDED TO CREATE THIS INORGANIC AND FAKE CULTURAL ORGANIZATION (OROKO)WHICH IS NOW TRANSFORMED AS A TRIBE TO INCLUDE ALL PEOPLE IN NDIAN AND MEME WHOSE HISTORIES AND LANGUAGES ARE DIFFERENT .IT IS DIRECTED MOSTLY BY BALUE WHO ARE GOING AROUND OCCUPYING LANDS THEIR ANCESTORS NEVER OWNED LET ALONE SETTLE. HAVING SAID THAT THE PETROLEUM THAT IS EXTRACTED FROM THE DEPTHS OF RIVERS AND OCEANS BELONG TO BALONDO AND BAKWERRI NOT OROKO-NGOLO, BALUE, AND BAKUNDU WHO ARE HILL DWELLERS. SOON THIS OROKO CULTURAL AGGRESSION AND INTERFERENCE IN BALONDO TERRITORY WILL STOP BY HOOK OR CROOK. I REMIND YOU AGAIN YOUR ANCESTORS WERE BALONDO SLAVES-SO YOU CULTURAL DEPRAVED FOOL SHOULD STOP CLAIMING OUR LAND, RIVERS, AND OCEANS. CLAIM RUMPI AND KUPE. STAY AWAY FROM BALONDO HOMELAND. MR. NJOH, AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED YOU ARE RIGHT IN QUESTIONING THE INTEGRITY OF WHAT IS MOUTHED BY BY OROKO RENEGADES. BECAUSE IT IS MISGUIDED AND MYOPIC IN TERMS OF THEIR ROOTS.
