OROKO Errand Boy Prime Minister

I am not being too harsh neither am I being disrespectful and impolite towards an elder as the OROKO custom demands. Rather, am simply penning-down the surrealistic happenings around me and to which many seem comfortable with. 

You may prefer to differ with me, I give a damn but all I know is that, the "flaming party" regime is still in power because of people like the hand-picked, errand boy and song-singing prime minister from the Oroko.

These people have reduced the Oroko to a loss of self-esteem and dignity, human denigration, pushed them into abject poverty and condemned to perpetual denial and apathy. For over half a century, they have consistently plundered Oroko resources without fear or favour and have instilled fear and indignity as a behavioural pattern in the physical and psychological makeup of the Oroko.

This has made the Oroko to accept the premise that, the only way to express patriotism, benefit and obtain recognition is to dance, cheer and clap to "fou fap". This condition has transposed the Oroko into a wedding cake solely available to those who care to prostrate before the "Flaming Party" and her immortal deity. Such people are not a representation of the Oroko for they incarnate none of our cultural values. They are physically and psychologically unhealthy, they are simply not fit to be Oroko people. 

Take it or leave it, this physical alienation and psychological sickness have spiraled into and become a daily norm even in friendships and love life of the Oroko. Hospitals and other public services within the Oroko have been transformed into market places, stock exchanges and public bazaars. Village and community properties have been consistently converted without remorse and with great impunity into private ownership simply because these people belong to the class of prostrates of the deity and are endorsed by a member of the inner cult.

Consequences are countless including absolute corruption, myriads of physical, verbal and psychological violence, chaos, impunity, moral decadence, religious profanation, cultural sacrilege and a desecration of decency. This is just a “scoop” of what the “flaming party” and her cronies have done to the Oroko and Cameroonians in general.

The flaming party and her cohorts for over half a century, have based their judgement on the basic principles of mathematical induction (It’s much easier to create a problem that no one can solve except you than solving the problem itself).

They have forgotten that, the duty of reshaping, rebuilding and formatting this nation while recovering from the socioeconomic quagmire and political quandary doesn’t lie in wearing traditional regalia and brandishing a “peace plant” but that the work has to commence from homes, schools, mosques, cathedrals, prisons and churches.

Wishing you goodluck Sango Chief

The Oroko Ghost Protocols

Aside the customized cries, weeping, agony, pain and coincidental but enormous collateral damage already inflicted upon or suffered by the Oroko people, we have again been caught in the crossfire and an unending wave of brutal north-east winds of change.

Unlike the protocols of the learned elders of Zion whose literary touch reveals the signals running through the minds and blood of the Jewish and Zionist forefathers, this crossfire and unending wave of brutal winds of change are ghost protocols to the Oroko people. The socio-cultural stagnation, politico-economic backwardness and purported though genocidal development within the Oroko land are just vivid reminders of the Germano-Duala brutal winds of change which were still ghost protocols to the peace loving and hardworking Oroko people.

In my greatest astonishment and it beats my normal human understanding why during such hard times or that when these tragedies set in, contemporary millennials jump into religious fables Oh lord have mercy, only God knows why, God please save us or God please answer our prayers. From the foregoing, it is absolutely more evident that this is childishness in its highest degree. It would therefore be quite sane to concur that our education has been entirely based on a dogmatic fanatical religious scheme and foundation in which we were taught how and what to believe but never taught how to think responsibly. The powers of responsible thinking and pro-activity in crisis times were removed from the deepest parts of our consciences and replaced with feelings of powerlessness and resignation.

Yes, a few Oroko people have this critical, powerful and thought provoking mindset. Just like me, they are asking themselves and seeking answers to numerous unanswered queries and questions like what are our individual and collective responsibilities or roles in these ghost protocols? Yes, these are ghost protocols because the literary touch doesn’t reveal the signals running through the minds and blood of the Oroko people. We therefore know not what we can do to avoid being caught-up and entangled in the claws of this game of thrones neither do we master the art of blocking it from happening over and over again.

You may prefer to differ from my stance but I am of the opinion that in this game of thrones, what matters most is the shift or balance of power. Therefore, it is this balance of power that dictates which side comes out victorious. This power equilibrium usually tends to shift should policy makers choose the other side of the team be it the losing or winning team. 

The Oroko people now have to become solution oriented, take the responsibility of finding effective and efficient strategies on how to curtail and divert this policy makers’ obstacle. The Oroko people have to create and impose their own version of these ghost protocols, what is good for them, vision and future of today’s Oroko.  

This Oroko generation of super degree holders mimicking democracy on radio, newspapers, internet and television without the least impact on the Oroko people should be aware that, anything that effectively and efficiently works quickly draws mass attention. Let this virtual nature become real such that it will certainly push the so called Oroko policy makers or political class to review their position or risk rejection. If we start thinking this way and change to normal brain-wracking Oroko  people, we will become solution oriented and stop acting like victims of a situation we can’t change or transform. The art of cooperation enshrined in our culture and tradition would be enhanced, this efficient and effective system will take root, with giant and very bold steps, it will work if implemented, moreso others will follow to take the challenge.
