The way he spoke is the way we should speak to those who lead us, we are tired of diplomacy, these people only respect the brutality, go ahead Professor ATANGANA you have even more to give to Africa and you are a source of inspiration for the youngest.

Wow You are blessed I would like to meet this very proudly African take a picture together

[@dramese]

This made me so emotional, he is so right until we start to value education, and celebrate intelligence and promote intellectualism instead pleasures ambience. We need a new value system. God bless you professor, I am a big admirer.

Merci de faire la fierté des africains Prof ATANGANA

[@koahsongogabriel6724]

Thank you Mr. ATANGANA. You are a model for young cameroonians and africains 🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲

[@ngomakenny6218]

Africa, pray for this man, may God bless him, protect him, and bless our land. We most have our own system of publication, our respective government, companies, business men, most invest money on research, and we most reward those who works hard for the restoration of Africa's dignity through studies. May God protect our scientist from intellectual roberry. Many don't want us back in this game, and many are full of jalousie and even afraid of our success.. but our raising have already started and the process is ustopable. The progress of science in Africa is unstoppable.. colonial spirit and vestiges can not last, today with this our generation it is not a eventuality.

Arrêtez un peu de vous limiter au Cameroun, il faudrait désormais penser Afrique. Si or Atangana était au Cameroun, il n'aurait pas fait autant

What was the allusion to broken English for????? Why contradict your own self with your introductory statement different from your main delivery, claim not to be boastful, yet......

[@trezaqful]

He speaks French as official language of his country. So English is foreign.

[@timcamer4702]

English is not his first language .

Weakness of our ancestors 😂😂😂

[@emyoji1316]

Your ancestors did what they had to do. Stop blaming. This is your time do what you have to do!

[@1archengdes111]

@@emyoji1316 exactly!! I loved his speech but I didn't like that part because it is not true,if our ancestors were weak we would not even be here after the numerous massive massacres, we are survivors. But he has the right to his own opinion. He does not understand that like C.Anta Diop and T.Obenga said: you have to do your own, research platforms can be african made, and country base with the tools of internet, and it is easily to protect intellectual property (unlike before), we do not need to publish in other people platforms, we must do our own. Congratulation to him! Everything was invented in Africa before and they all came to Africa to learn.

[@emyoji1316]

@@1archengdes111 That’s the beauty of science and being enlightened. Don’t swallow everything thrown at you. Your processing facility should do its job and it should be running 24/7. I like him and do not have to agree with everything he says. My ancestors were the foundation. With modern technology, any wrong foundation can be corrected. I am forever grateful for the sacrifices they made!

[@johannagieskes9546]

It was not a weakness of our ancestors but the values,until today are so différent,they use violence,lies against people who respect human life,truth,justice,harmony. Before colonisation,no jail but trust between people,respect for women,no poverty.You can read the paper of many explorators,white,arabs.They were astonished to see many cities well organized in an confédération of many regions.
