Policy Not Charity

When you have police working in a context with no policy,
the algebra does not add up.
What you get is… more complex algebra to solve.

Until the real, indigenous citizens of the Cameroons sit down and do some brain exercises on writing a constitution and creating other systems, the Cameroons will be doomed by the existing system, handed over by the French to Ahidjo and then to Biya. Since 1960 (if you asked me; you won't), NOTHING has changed. Has it? You tell me.

When you adopt the French system and worldview, your brain cells actually morph into something different from every other system your politico-social space adopts. The algebra of solving problems in the Cameroons is complicated by the gigantic brakes put on by the so-called "Francophilic" (new word) system, and by the little bursts of flame that the minority English-speaking, or "Anglophilic" (new word), citizens of this space try to ignite in order to meaningfully change the place. But in a situation with many more fools than not, the question now is: are you an AngloFool or a FrancoFool? You tell me.

No one should hide behind Franco-Camerounese laws to harass the children of the State of former British Southern Cameroons. If you ask me (you won't), laws should be understood in order to be obeyed. If the MOTS (man or woman on the street) can understand the rules of football, why would they not understand the so-called "laws" of a state they are supposed to belong to?

The question is: are Franco-Camerounese laws as clear to the citizens of the State of former British Southern Cameroons as football rules? If not, how does one maintain the "rule of law" fairly? You tell me.

How do you skin the language off the culture? You don't. The so-called French system of public administration (government) introduced in the Cameroons came with the language. Since the French introduced it in Franco-Cameroun, not much has changed.

To change this so-called system requires brain-muscle exercises that old and older people bluntly refuse to do. Remember the "Conférence Nationale"? What is such a conference without brain-muscle exercises? A jamboree with brasseries? You tell me.

Bobe P,

Thanks for the kind words about the music.

As for the music of our people (if you ask me), we are only scratching the surface. Like the other intangible resources we inherited from our ancestors, it needs institutions that provide a framework for it to evolve with the times. People come, people go, but institutions can span several generations.

It sounds simple, but it requires some brain-muscle exercises.
