Oroko People, our identity is about our education, our upbringing and the Oroko values we are taught.
No matter where we were born or where we choose to live today, we are Oroko.
Nothing stands in the way of staying true to ourselves, no one should erase our identity and who we truly are.
We must build on our Oroko identity because Oroko belongs to us and we belong to our Oroko as it is about our identity, knowing who we are and our values.
Identity is not an individual quality, it is a shared value and we all share an identity. Politics that does not build our Oroko identity or value our Oroko culture is bad politics. It is about appreciating the value in each other.
The reason you are Balue, Barombi, Ekombe, Batanga, Bakoko, Mbonge, Ngolo, Bima, Balondo ba Diko, Balondo ba Nanga, Ekondo Kondo, Isangele, Bakundu and the meaning of OROKO, is an education that values the identity and culture we all share.
It is about building an Oroko tribe that brings all of our strength together.
The Oroko of tomorrow is ours and so i ask, what will we stand for? What will we be willing to fight for and even die for? We must want to live for something although a shared identity does not mean that we are all the same.
But we do not differ in wishing for the well being of every Oroko Child and progress of our country, Cameroon.
Oroko people, let's always challenge ourselves to be better people as this will make us be more useful to ourselves, our families and our country.
Let's always think that we can be better, we can do it and that we the Oroko deserve it and if it starts with us, it’s even much better.
If we have the tools in our hands and if we want to improve our life, why would we wait another moment to do it?
The Oroko should never expect things to come easy, because the chances are slim and if it happens, it never lasts.
I leave you with this song by our Brother Loma Lome called Miango (News or Stories)
God Bless Oroko
WHATEVER YOU CALL YOURSELVES REFRAIN FROM MENTIONING BALONDO WHOM YOU FOOLISHLY IDENTIFY NANGA AND DIKO. THERE IS NO SUCH IMBECILITY AS THERE HAS BEEN ONLY ONE BALONDO WHO HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN COMMON WITH YOU WRETCHED AND SMELLY OROKOR WITH A VERY LOW SELF ESTTEEM THAT HAS LED YOU TO DROP THE BAFAH BALONDO NAME WE GAVE YOU AND WHIC YOU USED FOR OVER 400YEARS BEFORE REBELLING IN 1973 WHEN YOU FORMED YOUR NEW OROKO IMAGE. AND ARROGANTLY DECLARED THAT BALONDO IS A CLAN OF OROKO. THAT IS SO SILLY. DO N'T YOU EVER DEGRADE A PEOPLE WHO ENSLAVED YOURS FOR 400 YEARS. THE PROBLEM WITH YOU CONTEMPORARY OROKOS, ESPECIALLY YOU BALUES WHO GREW UP ON PLANTATIONS AND NEVER IN YOUR VILLAGES THAT ARE STILL INACCESSIBLE, YOU DO NOT REALIZE THAT BALONDO WERE THE DOMINANAT FORCE AND THE FIRST TO SETTLE THE COASTAL SOUTHWEST PLAINS SINCE THE 1150S. SO HOW CAN LANDLORDS(BALONDO) BE A CLAN OF TENANTS/SLAVES (OROKO)? QUIT MENTIONING US OR ELSE THERE WILL BE TROUBLE. YOUR ANCESTORS INVADED LOBE DURING THE ITOKI WAR BUT WERE TERRIBLY MANGLED AND REDUCED TO FLEEING SHRIEKING COWARDS. YOU OF THIS GENERATION HAVE RESUMED THE SAME HOSTILITIES WHICH WILL AGAIN WITH DEFEAT.. GO TO MAASOLE AND ASK THEM WHETHER WE CONSIDER THEM BALONDO. THIS SETTLEMENT IS WHERE WE KEPT CAPTIVES WHOSE DESCENDANTS ARE OROKOS. IT MEANS REFUGEE CAMP AND NO BALONDO IDENTIFIES WITH THEM. READ THE BALONDO SCRIPT THEN YOU WILL KNOW THE PEOPLE YOU ARE TRYING TO MESS WITH.
