“The War is on with the DO of Ndop Poss Alex Francois who has deliberately decided to continue fabricating lies on my person” declared the Honourable questor to the National Assembly Njimgum Musa Parliamentarian to the Ngoketunjia Nord Constituency to this Reporter on the 11^th of January 2015 during private audiences in Ndop with militants on the occasion of the special follow up meeting of the distribution of CPDM membership cards and Party works or activities.

A bold remark which has since been radiating shocking waves in and around Ngoketunjia Division after the famous Bamali Crisis of 30^th December 2014, as many wander aloud why their Honourable MP is rubbed in the saga by the Administration.

A rebellion stirred and caused by them (the Administration) at every front, all accusing fingers point at for fuelling and exciting genocide in the so called Bamali Village known to have been rocked by the controversial chieftaincy crisis for well over nine years when the former Fon Abdicated the thrown till date. 

The geneses of the matter owes cacus to a sensitive security information on a sheet of paper, call it a track (written in poor French) insinuating that Bamali Villagers were hashing a plot to attack Bamunka with the Support of their Parliamentarian. Which Administration clutched (after receiving bribe the DO reacted on one instance in his office “they say I received 5 Million others say 2.5 million to carry out the action) on to storm the village on pretext to avert war amongst two villages and met Steve resistance from the fumed and raged villagers that almost set the whole Division Ablaze, destabilizing traffic along the Bamenda Kumbo high ways.

We are highly and abundantly indebted to your kind gestures. The Sacrifices were enormous and your presence at the ceremony of the Grand solemnization of our eight Years in Courtship with two kids made it marvelous and wonderful.

We owe all, a lot and will keep the will, your wishes for us and the faith up God being our helper.

“Taah Nformi” Ngala Gerard: Nkambe’s Source of Glory & Pride of the N.West Bids Farewell to Bachelorhood Eight Years After Courtship with Two Kids

Taah Nformi Ngala Gerard popularly known as the “Wander Boy” of Nkambe Sub-Division for his generous qualities, compassionate actions to the needy, development oriented spirit and above all his crusade for Nation Building, is not only an inspiring source of glory to Nkambe his birth place but a pride also to reckon with of the North West Region given his exemplary deeds socially and politically.

Taah Nformi Gerard to begin with, a true and sincere son of Donga-Mantung politically speaking took his Nkambe Constituency by storm before and after the 2013 twin elections (Parliamentary and Legislative). As his hard work changed the Political tide of Nkambe Sub-Division to the chagrin of the SDF militants who have since 1990 enjoyed political hegemony over that jurisdiction.

For the first time since the advent of multiparty politics, the CPDM scored a land slide victory in the 2013 Municipal elections in Nkambe kicking out SDF from the Council. CPDM equally won the Legislative elections in Nkambe and almost butted out Hon. Cyprian Awudu of the SDF from the Glass House but for the whopping votes that came in from Hon. Esther Ngala’s Ndu Constituency.

This unprecedented change for the transformation of Nkambe was thanks to Ngala Gerard’s open handedness especially as he extends his largesse to all and sundry in Nkambe and Ndu Constituencies. He has and is continuously extending a hand of fellowship to common men like commercial motor bike riders, “buyam sellams” wine tappers, “shah and palm wine sellers”, traditional authorities, social groups and meetings amongst others which may be why he was recently baptized by a bunch of Bees in Binka after ditching out financial and material assistance to his people, a sign one should term benediction from the people and ancestors of that land.

For nothing Ngala Gerald has worked tirelessly for his Division to pull her out of the hands of handicapping politics without development which is probably the reason why the central committee delegation had to choose him to head the list for the 2013 twin election run up.

Besides being man of the people living above tribal lines, Ngala Gerald chose to organize his sumptuous and bountiful weeding at Ayaba Hotel Last 20^th December 2014 in Bamenda instead of Douala his business base or Nkambe his birth place because he feels truly honoured coming from the North West and as a pride of the Region no best tribute or gratitude can be paid without celebrating at home.

The Wedding Proper

The wedding rites call it solemnization ceremony after eight years in marriage with two bouncing kids was performed before the alters of the St John’s Catholic church Bamenda between Viannie Atams Tah and Gerard Ngala an exercise that lasted for well over four hour before the massive presence of the Bamenda Public in the presence of Minister Ngafeeson Emmanuel Bantar, Dr Fuh Calistus Gentry, Shey Nfor Musa and others.

The colorful historic ceremony after solemn rites in church then proceeded to Ayaba Hotel Swimming pool arena where in fanfare and pomp celebrants joyously and in merrymaking paying tribute to Ngala Gerard and family prayed God almighty to grant them ferry days and long lasting lives as they live in benediction of the loving and holy sacrament.     

Ngala Gerald remains a formidable icon that has torched and sparked the lives of the youths of this generation with his exceptional qualities that drives home virtue and values needed to transform Cameroon and reform individuals.

Who is the Next Bar President? A Lady, A Man, An Anglophone, a Francophone, A South Westerner or still a North Westerner or somebody from the North ?

 Barrister Kenmende Henry NWEST

Barrister Ben Suh Fuh NWest

Barrister Njualem

Barrister Ebah

Barrister Enow

Is basically the big unanswered question that triggers so much a worry in the right thinking minds of Cameroonians in General and Lawyers in Particular who absolutely want power to change hands given that Barrister Sama’s regime did not meet the expected wishes of Lawyers as he declared in his early days speech in office. The Bar 2014 exams and the controversy surrounding the publication of her results also leaves much to be desired and expected of Barrister Sama and followers.“Time has come for a new course to be effected in the Bar” says a confident aspirant. As the tides of the fountain wheel drives to a destination yet to be defined and proclaimed by the majestic assembly of 31^st January 2015 that shall be playing host at the ampi theatre of the Cameroon Red Cross building in Yaounde, Barrister Sama confident of his achievements at the Bar believes his mandate will be renewed as a new cream of this generation’s Lawyers of the North West Region address their loyalty, total and unflinching support to Barrister Kenmende Henry, Eric Mbah Mbah and Hiram Umenjoh.

The following observations are exactly the cards in play in the North West Region ahead of the 2015 Cameroon Bar Council Challenge encounter slated for the 31^st of this January.

As days for the race narrow down tension and uncertainty hooks the air as there is clamor for vote canvas in the whole Republic with 60 vying for 15 places in the Bar Council others for the Presidency.

In the North West Region host holders of the Presidency, Barrister Ben Suh Fuh after primaries stands out as the favorite choice of some North Westerners while Barrister Kenmende Henry carry a whooping majority of all the camps in a conclave of the Region’s elderly Lawyers. That was on the 6^th  and 9^th of January 2015 respectively at Dreamland Restaurant where, Barrister Sama Francis backed out on pretext that he could not stand election with seven others he regarded his children.

Barrister Ben Suh Fuh of Amity Chambers Bamenda, Practicing for well over 15 years ahead of the race happens to be a favorite aspirant disposed in attitude and pragmatic in character. Barrister Ben Suh Fuh is also the favorite choice of some South West Lawyers.

Barrister Kenmende Henry comes in as the best runner up from the North West, choice of the North West Lawyer’s Association, renowned, highly favored and honoured by a cream of Lawyers who call themselves a new generation of talented lawyers. To them, Barrister Kenmende Henry of Posterity Chamber Bamenda, is their messiah, who masters the field, can face all odds, is realistic, firm, frank, fair in actions and words, is a good speaker, dynamic, charismatic, bold, industrious, and brave, can deliver the much expected aspirations of Cameroon Lawyers. Being in practice for over 16 years with challenging record, leaves a lot in the history of the profession and should deserve all the credit to take up leadership of the Cameroon Bar Council. Barrister Kenmende commands the respect and support of both South West and Francophone Lawyers.

The presence of these big Lawyers in the race regarded as guru in the profession in the North West is a major threat to Barrister Sama’s Career and ambitions as they have sworn with impunity that no major threat from whosoever can cause them to step down. Hear them “The battle is on”

Avalanches of reasons are responsible for a cross section of the lawyers disowning Barrister Sama; a cross sections of the Lawyers are not ready to invest their support on an incumbent who does not have up to three boutonnieres behind him. Hear them, “Acquisition of land and the law school in the offing are not major achievements of the president leaving major issues of the profession and the nation to redress. During these two years, most of the promises of the President did not come to pass, no professional cards, Lawyer’s rolls, no Lawyer’s directory nor calendar etc”. One even described their being under him, a brother’s leadership “like being in heaven an unable to see God” and will prefer to go in for the Jesus that is beside to take them to the right hand of the Father and are praying very strongly that let his will be done on earth this time so that total change can come in the legal corp.

To further buttress, Barrister Jacobs Ateh, one of the proponents of the “New Generation Advocates” on his part declared that, the genealogy of the association owes birth out of the frustrations of Advocates who are dissatisfied with the way the institutions of the Bar are managed by those who man them.

 “We are witnesses to situations wherein the Bar remains silent on issues of the society, even those affecting the Bar. The law on anti-terrorism has come with great expectations on the Bar to say something, yet, they are silent. The Civil Code that touches on the Anglophones is pending, but the Bar is silent. The situation of Notaries being appointed almost came to pass if the Northwest lawyers didn’t storm Yaoundé for a pronouncement to be made. The Bar was silent.

“The relationship between Lawyers and Magistrates keeps degenerating to a situation where Magistrates keep Lawyers in court from 8am to midday, just for a Magistrate to enter the courtroom and say ‘matters adjourned’ and the Bar is silent. We have to fight and assert the independence of the Bar.

“When you find a Bar that is silent about societal and professional issues, it is only the “New Generation” that can take the Bar to the desired level and we strongly believe that the old generation of the Bar has failed the aspirations of the “New Generation  Advocates”, added Jacobs Ateh.

Barrister Ngoulla Arlette from the Littoral, of French speaking expression, with a Master’s in Business Law is the lone female that has braved the odds to show up her head to enhance gender and decry female rights marginalization in the corps.

Very determined and optimistic, she has hopes of restructuring the Bar, cleaning up the profession based on ethics, enhance continues training of Lawyers, implementation of an annual budgetary system, establishment of a social security system, creation of a client common fund account, publication of the decree of application on the fees, computerization of the electoral system and the increase in the amount of professional fees etc.

In the South West Region where you have most Anglophone practitioners, FAKLA Fako Lawyers’ Association is faced with the options of Barrister Njualem Charlse of the Human Rights Law firm, Ebah Ntoko of Justice of the Justice Law Firm and Barrister Enow Benjamin of Late Bonu’s Liberty Law Firm all fervent choice of respective parties and camps.

In the South West, as the debate is on popular opinion holds that the task to be accomplished should be given or entrusted in the hands of Barrister Enow Benjamin of the Liberty Law firm formerly headed by Late Barrister Bonu Innocent as a sign of tribute to a big legal icon who was supposed, if still alive to have taken over from Barrister Sama Francis. May his Soul rest in perfect peace!

In Meme, Lawyers there through the voice of their able leader Barrister Awuta Philip Atuba are of the opinion that they should be united for a common course and face a common front in order to make victory come their way, projecting Barrister Mboke Divine as the lone candidate of the Meme Lawyer’s Association.  

Divided over who should stand for the Regions is a call for concern as pundits and analysts are of the opinion that if proper care is not taken Barrister Arlette Ngoulla a lady and of French speaking in expression may carry the day.  That is having first all the women Lawyers rallying behind her, to follow his francophone brothers and why not sell outs from the North West and South West.

Campaigns are on, manifestos littered around,  the future stale and blurred to aspirants God having it, with all certainty 31^st of January 2015 will surely come to answer the mix ridded opinion polls on who is the next Cameroon Bar Council President. Will it be an Anglophone or a francophone? A male or female Advocate? A North Westerner still or a South Westerners? Only God Knows and provided candidates play their cards well.

Investigative Report :Inside Out of Bamali Crisis; Hon. Njingum Hands off Bamali Crisis?

Hon. Njingum Musa Qestor tor the NA MP for Ngoketunjia Nord in White

*DO Poss Speaks out “Bamali was planning to attack Bamunka”

*Chenefoua II Replies & Fires Courts Action against Looting  

 Revisiting the Crooks of the Bamali Saga as Far as Peace & Security of Ngoketunjia is concerned:  

The 30^th of December 2014 breaking, 2015 leaves a sad page in the History of Ngoketunjia Division amongst warring 13 villages’ very use to inter-tribal wars.

The preliminary cause of the matter lies in the hands of the Administration’s raid to the Bamali Palace, a move termed by the authorities in question to stop, counter or avert a war situation between Bamali and Bamunka Village haven’t been notified by an authoritative source of how the Bamali People were mobilizing arms with the aid of some of their elite to burn down Bamunka,

On the bases of this premise, the Administration raided the Bamali Palace to meet a resistant population who were surprised by the allegations and out of temper, went on rampage, causing chaos in the whole palace blocking the trunk a road which is the express road linking Bamenda to Bui and Donga-Mantung Division.

Today the aftermath of the crisis leaves so much a worry and a bundle of accusations and counter accusations that may cause heads to roll as each of the parties concerned with their varied reports try as much as possible to clear oneself and probably implicate the other from what we gathered as respective opinions sampled. As we report, a handful of military officials are under going treatment, the SDO Kuela nursing his broken head, Bamali’s present Ruler with a bandage on the head threatens and fire court actions against DO Poss Alex of Ndop center for brutalizing him and looting his private belongings.

While accusing fingers points at the Honourable questor of the National Assembly Hon Njingum Musa to rub him in the mud by the Administration for having a hand in the crisis.   

Speaking to the Honourable on the 5^th of January 2014 on phone declared, “I have no hand in the Bamali Crisis which met me in the village on the 30^th of December 2014 visiting my sick father. Informed of the move by the Administration, and following the wild alarm that went round the village, I took the pains off to meticulously and tactfully calm and pacify the angry mob from the village right up to the junction and to inform the governor before leaving for Yaounde with regards an urgent meeting”.

“My people by nature are peace loving and law abiding. I know no circumstance or situation that may influence them to embark or attack Bamunka, a village they share a lot in common with. A week ago I was in the constituency (Ngoketunjia Nord) to share CPDM party Cards and in no occasion was it mentioned that there was a problem between two villages. As a Politician, what I need most in my Constituency is peace, the rule of law and order and above all, absolute support to the Party I belong the CPDM”

“I have always and will always be there to sponsor Political activities and not strain or antagonize relations. The public on rampage were only decrying certain actions of the authorities in question which they deemed was motivated and backed by bias judgments. My logging desire peace, which was finally reinstated from my continuous appeal to the people, is the only treasure I think should be preserved in the Sub-Division”

“God knows, there is nothing I will work for in my village other than peace with the people and their neighbors as that is the only way I can consolidate my votes and victory to my Party the CPDM”

The DO Ndop central Poss Alex Francois Speaking out on the matter to this Reporter, on the 30^th December at the scene and on the 4^th of January 2015 in the office respectively: 20 minute after the SDO for Ngoketunjia Division Kuela Valeri Norbert was attacked by the angry mob in an attempt to broker for peace, in anger declared “Administration ordered troops coming from Bamukumbit to reinstate peace, into Bamali and most especially the Palace to dislodge the plot a hand full of villagers were hashing or cooking up to attack Bamunka a neighboring village as reliably informed by an authoritative source”.

“To our surprise, a move that was well intended to secure the peace that should reign supreme in our Division was later misinterpreted by misguided individuals who thought we were coming for the arrest of their Fon who is not recognized by us since he does not posses all the legal documents authorizing him to rule over a people from government”.

“Where we are before the attack of the SDO, we have been subjected to several attacks from the Palace right up to this spot and very determined to send away the angry mob from the express high way without any casualties or incident. That is why I instructed my elements to only fire in the air and not in the crowd to disperse the rioters. Which is why no major incident has been recorded except for our SDO’s situation and some five elements who were accidentally caught by stray stones flung at us who are undergoing medical attention. I regret all what is happening and know the people are acting out of sensation because they are trying to interpret government actions wrongly. We succeeded in collecting five rifles from the Palace and some two others in the village”. So where did the Administration go wrong! “We are also reliably informed that they have levied men 3000frs each and Women 1000frs as funds to assemble and buy guns, not only that, their village administration not recognized, also resorted to banning individuals from the village who are for the Fon recognized by the Administration according to reports here in the office, a thing which should not happen in the 21^st century”

A fact which the present ruler of Bamali Chenefoua II immediately dismissed when contacted on the 4^th of January 2014 in the Palace and on phone, saying that surely those were arms they brought from warring Bamukumbit and that dues on the people were levy for development, nobody has been banished from the village in the name of taking side with the other Fon, my people are loyal to me. “Rather, they took my TV Set, my brief case containing my confidential documents with money and my cell phone”

“We were surprised; seating in our traditional council deliberation meeting, Chenefoua II recounted a group of soldiers and the Administration attacked and brutalized the Palace with some of the armed men even slapping me for nothing. Alarm was then send round the village which brought villagers agitating on account that their Fon was attacked for no just reason and that they were not hashing any plot to attack Bamunka a village with whom they have cordial links except for the fact that I am not in working terms with their Fon”.

“I have suffered much prejudice from the Administration for no reason, I don’t know what I have done, my people have no problem with Bamunka, I have a right to my cell phone, mallet which the DO carried away reasons why I and my Lawyer have dragged the matter to court so that justice should take its course”

Hear them (the Villagers), “we have no problem with the Palace administration because they have been governing us for well over six years without any problem, why should administration keep hashing motives to provoke chaos in our village? What we want the government  and by extension the Head of State whom we are strongly behind to know is that we the people of Bamali will remain peaceful and law abiding provided they leave us the way we are”.

Cueing up from two authoritative voices in the constituency the Mayor Ndop Council Mbombo Abel, Sidiki SDF Chieftain for Ngoketunjia, their reactions expressed remorse for what happened as they précised that “why has the Administration not also open the search for guns in the keeping of the notorious Balikumbat village known reputed for attacking neighboring villages? Were they having a search warrant? Why should that exercise be conducted during a delicate hour? Yes we admit the move was for security, are there any palpable proves that the people were planning to go to war? I know no such problem existing between two villages rather, what I know is that the people of Bamali have remained loyal and law abiding to the governing regime and are strongly behind the Head of State President Paul Biya. “It is really a pity and embarrassing that administration has been unable to read the hand writing clearly on the walls that the situation remains as it is and only natural circumstance will seek amends to the wishes of the Administration”.

From the above, in a divided view resume, villagers, authorities and Administrators expressed their varied opinions on the matter as the durst of uncertainty that almost destabilized public peace settle.

“Administration at every front is correct and right with the action they took because all information is useful, most especially security”. “That is why if security spared no effort in verifying information from an authoritative source, their actions should be commended and not condemned by the people who are passionate and sense danger for every action even if it is one to protect their interest, because if tomorrow a likely information liters and no prompt action is taken and it ends up occurring Administration will be blamed abundantly”. Says another pundit, “The actions of the other parties are also correct (because a man who is subjected to several attacks will even fear his or her shadow and will normally act before reasoning at the least shout) and should not boil down to blackmail, character assassination or the implication of innocent elite”
