As the Black Hand behind all the blackmails meted on MBOSCUDA a promising
NGO formed to meet the needs of the needy Fulani and the Mbororo community to
the chagrin of the rival SODELCO formed to go discrediting MBOSCUAD to no
avail. MBOSCUDA from creation has known no peace in the hands of Baba Danpullo
and his rival SODELCO Mbororo Association, who believes all should begin and
end with him as far as anything concerning the Fulanis and the Mbororo
community is concerned because of his money. The rampant land problems and
succession right issues in most of the Lamidads in Cameroon are caused by him
for selfish interest. Since he is always after grazing land, desires influence
over Lamidos and Lamidads as a show off of might. Which accounts for the so
many rampant crises within the Mbororo community because he self imposes his
own Ardos and Lamidos to the dislike of the people. A typical example is the
succession problem in Sabga where the people do not want to recognize his
imposed Lamido ELhadj Mamuda Sabga.
“Associations,
NGOs and CSOs are created to address or alleviate a particular issue or problem
not a tool or a weapon to fight back another” so said the SDO’s representative
at the diabolic meeting organized by SODELCO regrouping some Ardos to
stigmatize MBOSCUDA wrongly on the 7 of September 2012 at the Bamenda Congress
hall. The meeting whose intension was to discredit MBOSCUDA ended up exposing
how malicious and black legged the said officials of SODELCO are.
The
frowning and ugly words directed to MBOSCUDA that day intended with malice by
the SODELCO’s National Vice President to cut off all funding sources and
interactions with foreign partners for reasons being that since they are not
recognized, no other NGO should promise. Has rather strengthen MBOSCUDA’s ties
with foreign partners and the public as they have a concise and a comprehensive
balance sheet rendered annually of activities and successes with a well drafted
and plan program schedule of activities for the year.
Mboscuda
remains most reliable and genuine at the service of the Mbororo community
reasons why they have been broking bounds in the delight of poverty alleviation
amongst Mbororos, social service amelioration programs, capacity building,
sustainable farming and grazing practice promotion, water resource harnessing,
conservation, sensitization, education, natural resource management and
livestock breeding.

Some
key Achievements for the past four years
-The improvement
of the relationship between the Mbororo people of the region and other ethnic
groups such as their farming neighbours
-Increased
political awareness of basic rights and how to secure these rights, especially
with regard to knowledge of the law and capacity to tackle corruption and
persecution from government officials and other corrupt individuals
-The improvement
of Mbororo women’s assertiveness, resulting in increased participation in
household and community decision-making, and greater access to basic services
-A positive
change of Mbororo people’s mentality especially towards the education of their
children
-The enrolment
of Mbororo children in schools from primary to university levels has
drastically increased from about 5% in the year 2000 to about 17.5% in the year
2011
-The impact of
REFLECT (Regenerated Freirian Learning through Empowering Community Techniques)
literacy amongst the communities supported by this programme is growing.
Reading and writing skills have improved for 50% of learning groups.
-This learning
is applied especially in hospitals, micro-credit record keeping and other
public places like markets
-Income
generated from enterprises funded by the credit scheme is used to support
school costs and household needs
-327 pupils and
students (of which 222 girls & 105 boys) were supported by this programme
and Plan International and Village AiD in the UK in the last six years
-MBOSCUDA-NW
secured support from in-country sources to establish Dialogue Platform
Committees made up of cattle herders and crop farmers. These have helped to
reduce conflicts between these two communities over access and control of
natural resources in 9 “hot spots” Districts (Menchum, Ngoketunjia and Donga
Mantung Divisions) of the North West Region.
-Development of
portable water for communities in Baba 11, Fulbere Ndop, Mbam in Fundongs, Akum
in Santa and Alamati in Awing at the cost
of 16.237FCFA and this has addressed the acute water shortage for the
Mbororo and non-Mbororo communities in the areas.
From the above,
it is left onto the public now to do a comparative study between SODELCO and
MBOSCUDA to see who is genuine and most reliable. For no body will conclude
other wise that SODELCO is not mafia group out only to destabilize the good
handy and worthy works of MBOSCUDA and why not assassinate her character for
selfish ends. For comes to book, and will not sound in any normal mans ear to
hear that a project worth 600 million for the construction of a veterinary
school for the Mbororos in Cameroon was destroyed by the said Abdul Aziz as he
claimed beating his chest. A huge sum which would have come into the economy to
develop and boast the life style of the ever needy Mbororo set! Not so?
