Thanks so much Patrick you spoken

[@lupikonge]

Patrice has just told the real history of Francophone Cameroon which could explain actually some reasons why things could be going this way.

Update for 2019 please.

Thanks people

[@PB-ik4qm]

Thanks to the people of Lowell for this program.

[@yvonnefomengia4627]

Well done

[@MrDanu736]

Interesting debate of a high level from Africans.

[@huffnagelhuffnagel7526]

In my opinion, The Anglophone crisis in Cameroon isn't an issue of language difference rather it's an issue of geographical origin. There are Anglophone Cameroonians who speak more of French than English but are still marginalized solely because of their place of Origin which is either the North West Region or South West Region.

This is not populations fight......but governmental.....we citizen we are innocents.......checking our history is nice thanks bro.....now we know what gwan

[@ojongnyangiiimbiawuhakum5192]

II just simply want to understand the reasons why the regime in place is refusing an all out inclusive dialogue with their own brothers and sisters and resort to killings of unarmed and innocent civilians? what do they want to do with the territory that they have decided to be sending people in those regions to their early graves? Is it a crime to seat and talk with your brother when things seem not to go well.If everybody in those regions are killed and francophone s sent to live there,will that solve the thousand and one of the regimes problems? I need an answer from the united Nations who created this problem by refusing in 1961 rights and principle of self- Determination to a third question

QUE LA FRANCE SE RETIRE DU CAMEROUN ET NOUS SERONT EN PAIX !!!

[@lacerwrite]

[@henriolamachannel]

you had to invite only them two? Perhaps there are other truths that nobody listens to

[@elizabethogbugha8881]

Multing Arts you and those who know another truths are free to organise their own discussion. In fact who are you missing here? Issa Tchiroma or Jean Jacques Ze?

[@henriolamachannel]

I'm not interested in Issa Tchiroma or Jean Jacques Ze? I do not know who they are. I do not live in Cameroon but I have a passion like everyone towards my country. I am interested in knowing more points of view and not those that are too convergent. Maybe you have so many prejudices ... maybe

[@elizabethogbugha8881]

Multing Arts, no "maybe" or "other opinions about facts. 2 exemples: Nganang is persona non grata in cameroon, THief Mukete was apointed as member of a parliament at the age of 101 years old. What may another point of view be? That Thief chief Mukete is in reality 38 years old? Don' t be TOO naiv at this crucial moment of the destiny of the country. Please wake up!

[@henriolamachannel]

Nothing against Nganang but I see too many false prophets (not him) throw up against a country attacked by Boko Haram and other entities that claim territories by killing their brothers, their sisters and policemen. Like every Cameroonian, I did not appreciate the attitude of the police who had mistreated the protesters in Bamenda, but I love my country and I know that current politicians will pass and others will come, not necessarily better (we know how our Africa is). I read the story of Nganang and it seems to me similar to what happens to many Africans in Europe and America when many young people are expelled without scandal, but if an African country decides to expel a citizen who no longer has citizenship, becomes a scandal I would be naif? So you are a bit 'extreme. I take this opportunity to suggest the video that I watch more on KZbin. He speaks a courageous person conscious of his role and his destiny kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGezkneDm8yYirs

[@elizabethogbugha8881]

Multing Arts to answer you, i think that it is necessary to know where you come from. You know already that i am a proud bamileke. And you? You are a proud what?

[@theyayachacha]

I did not agree on every single thing that was said over the course of this discussion nor did I think solely the so-called dinosaurs were responsible of that disarray. But the last statement made by Mr Fru was powerful.

[@mrduerson3515]

Why are u talking about this with the KKK

[@ngolleedward500]

The problem of the Southern Cameroons and the Republic of Cameroon is not essentially limited to historical differences! Please, it is basically Marginalization, subjugation , domination, enslavement, economic sabotage, cheating and everything that derives from enslavement by a majority against a minority! The evidence is overwhelming from the damage of the economy, infrastructures, education, culture and all the negative things that subjects one entity to enslavement by another. Start with the Economy: 1 Cameroon bank, a viable creation by west Cameroon parliament to support and boast indigenous economic operators was deliberately forced into liquidation by the by the east Cameroon rulers. Object: to kill businesses in West Cameroon, impoverish the people and render them unable to buy arms in the event of agitation 2. Dismantling of the Yoke Power plant so no source of ready energy for west Cameroon both for industrial development and domestic use. All energy to be dependent from east Cameroon and can be switched off in case of agitation 3. West Cameroon Produce Marketing Board and over 29 billions ( back in 1972 value) of West Cameroon farmers found in their stabilization funds bandied and carted to east Cameroon and squandered by top management east Cameroon staff who are non farmers . The resultant effect: poverty ravaged poor village farmers in west Cameroon to date rendering them destitute and beggars to date 4. Bota natural deep sea wharf abandoned and destroyed killing import and export trade turning attention to the douala creek port. And today, oil revenue from Sonara is used to pay back a loan from the world bank used for the construction of the kribi deep seaport! The paradox: ndian division from where the oil is exploited has never known tarred roads or anything related to industry, development or civilization! It doing end there! 5. Yes, the east Cameroon constitution provides for English and French as official languages. And that there are 2 sub systems of education with particularities of the official languages! Ombe Trade Centre ( technical college) was raided and all machines carted away to east Cameroon, curricular changed into francophone style: desired result: no west Cameroonian technicians uto compete in Sonara except driver, office messangers and night watches! Buea university was created after tear gassing and water canons in Yde! 6. The thermal power plant donated by prince Charles to provide energy and installed in Bamenda disappeared to east Cameroon soon after inauguration under heavy military escort! 7. Freedom of speech and expression, accountability which are reverred virtues and time honored guarantee for good governance in west Cameroon was extinguished! Political power does not bring food, education, health and economic development to a people so west Cameroonians are not using that as evidence of marginalization, subjugation or slavery! 7. All good roads linking the divisions in west Cameroon got broken with the intentional killing of PWD and community development by east Cameroon. Guess what! All the equipments owned by this structures were also carted to east Cameroon under their new creation called matgenie. And hired back to local councils in west Cameroon for those who could afford the hire charge! I forgot about the GCE board and the attempts to completely wipe out the English legal system, another violation of the " constitution". Call it east Cameroon constitution or federal constitution whichever is convenient! And when professors and intellectuals have conversations over the media on the west Cameroon or anglophone crises they spend long hours narrating the historical origin of this unholy union, it's legitimacy or legality which, you agree with me, are not evidence of marginalization, subjugation, assimilation simpliciter ! No west Cameroonian would have complained if all the misdeeds and slave conduct outlined here in before was not manifested. And when the slaves of West Cameroon dared complained by protesting with peace plants , the arsenals of the military was commanded to descend on them! Imagine all the arrogance of the civil administrators and politicians over the Crtv and the Visions 4! The history of our cultural and political past are found in history books except these evidence of marginalization, subjugation, assimilation and enslavement. Stop waisting time by boring people with history and un teaching of the young generation about the "anglophone crises". Good sloganeering, now Noso

[@herminadore5530]

No Double nationality in Cameroon! Cameroonian citizen are in Cameroon! You cannot have it both ways! Thanks

[@joellontsi1389]

HERMINADORE Why no double nationality in Cameroon? What is special about Cameroon ? Having a double nationality does not mean that you hate your home country and that you are a lesser Cameroonian. People are leaving all over the world and they have multiple nationality for different reasons and Cameroon need their contribution too. So double nationality is the least of my problems. Let a Cameroonian have a 100 nationalities if he want I couldn't care less. This is is a non issue. How many ministers in Cameroon and football players have more than nationalities? So let stop the hypocrisy.

[@herminadore5530]

JOEL LONTSI stupid constitution against Cameroonian male, but not female. It limits some of us to be admitted for any change. Most of our Ministers and members of government are citizens from another country, and no one says anything. When it comes to someone who is not part of their "clan" or so call group, nationality check is an issue. Thanks

[@joellontsi1389]

In order words, you agree that the constitution should be changed and Cameroonians should be allowed to have more than one nationality. It came to me as if you were against it.

[@herminadore5530]

JOEL LONTSI I am against the killing going on in South and north west Cameroon as I was against the 1990 one in Douala. We must come together as one for the change. Constitution must change? Oh yes indeed is most change? Thanks

[@elizabethogbugha8881]

HERMINADORE without Patrice nganang? How is it possible? I mean do you really believe that the multi- nationalities will not be introduced in Cameron latest soon? The conseil constitutionnel will soon have to check the nationality of those who want to run the presidential election. I don' t know what the one with Swiss passport will do. Let' s wait and see.

Stop selling our Nation to people who dont love us. it is true that we have poor governance and the rest but cant we resolve our differences as Africans or lets say Cameroonians?
