A debate on a way forward for Cameroon about vigorous enlightenment against slothful ignorance. The triumph of free speech over dictatorship  when you make myself, Jonathan Awasom President of a "new Cameroon", virtuous and free, to  work collectively with all of you to bring this vision to fruition.   Mr Bens Awaah refers to Jonathan Awasom as "Reverend" in this unprecedented debate and argument. A leader who is not afraid to engage, debate and argue his case before the world.      Mr Bens Awaah   "Reverend, I am not in a contest with you. Whoever you are griping about is not going to hand power to you or any other Camerounian willingly. So what are going to do about beyond writing and arguing? Calling me and the NCNC all kinds of names will not solve the problem" .  Bens Awaah , SCNC and supporter of Kah Walla     Thank you for your comments but I will disagree with you. My vision is for freedom through vigorous enlightenment and if you remember, this is enshrined into the Manifesto for a virtuous and free Cameroon.This is what has characterized my advocacy since 2004.   It has been a long haul and we are getting there no matter the ups and downs. No one puts his or her  hand on the plough and looks back  is fit for the kingdom of " In God We Trust". Cameroon is bound to be free even if some of you  go in for fake Presidential elections.You won't stop our mission. We are too determined and focused.   I am overly committed and indebted to God's people who are being poisoned with slothful ignorance. None of you opposing myself, Jonathan Awasom  as an aspirant for President of Cameroon  to lead a 24 months transitional government have ever succeeded to explain to anyone why you think I cannot be President. Your excuses are mere intolerance  and other forms of prejudice.   First of all,before we can really change Cameroon, there has to be a  complete change in mentality. Go back and read your comments again. There are very disappointing but such comments only provide me with an opportunity to either enlighten or educate you people.This is the kind of new leadership I bring to the table without fear or favor.In short, "vigorous enlightenment" must "triumph over slothful ignorance" and shameless denial due to intellectual dishonesty.   There are over 200 political Parties in Cameroon with only about 19 million people. This is ridiculous and should not be tolerated and any Cameroonian running for public office who does not want to contest with me is on the wrongside of history.   A good leader with a vision is one who is not afraid to engage the civil society regardless of who is an integral part of that society. If you noticed very well,since 2009 when I first declared my candidacy for a 24 months transitional government I have been very persistent with engaging, debating and arguing with Cameroonians and others as  the new paradigm shift among Cameroonians who in the past have been made to think that people in public office are untouchable. When it comes to you in particular , I have engaged you and not who you support.   Among all those who claim that they can be President of Cameroon, I am the only one who has engaged most of you Cameroonians and also very open at anytime to engage the White House, State Department, Vital Voices Partnership, President Bill Clinton, Democratic Black Caucus, the Congress,World Bank, CPDM-USA, Cameroon Ambassador to the US, US Ambassador to Cameroon and all other people within the Civil society.   The vision for rebuilding Cameroon so that we eventually come to such a new political paradigm that will usher in a new era for Cameroon  is more important than me.It is about us Cameroonians and all other citizens of the world living within Cameroon as missionaries, diplomats and civil society, per se. We all have a moral responsibility to change Cameroon to be a place for everyone.You and your likes are not going  to endorse mediocrity by participating in fake elections simply because you don't want anybody to give political power to me,Jonathan Awasom willingly.That shows selfishness and that you're only out to sabotage.I have made my case as to why I am competent and qualified to lead as I have always done as a visionary leader. This is my blog where almost all my vision is posted pending but thou shall not copy and plagiarize!   http://virtuousandfreecameroon.blogspot.com/   This same writing and arguing has infleunced many of you as a new impetus for change in Cameroon and Africa. So, I won't stop this advocacy.If you people in your quest for political power cannot contest with others then we are sorry that there is no room to groom and impose new dictators on our people no matter their portfollio. I hope this is clear since everyday you guys are x-raying and exposing yourselves about your philosophy about power.   The world is spinning right now on  the wheel of good governance and the rule of law, which had captured my interest since I began to seek genuine change for Cameroon.It  will be abnormal for some of you to  undermine this new trend of leadership for the common good.You will fail to pass the test of World Justice Project when you want to take over from Paul Biya and yet do not want to contest.Hmm,if we dare give political power to people like you even as City Majors and Councellors, one will continue to perish under dictatorship and corrupt tyranny. Sorry, you won't achieve your secret agenda.If there is no contest then you are not fit to run for any public office.   What many of you Cameroonians are still to learn is the amazing feat of my achievements as a Community Organizer, Senior Community Consultant and Organizer , a very successful political advocate and activist as well as a very succesful Church Reformer. It is only a matter of time for the world to learn about one kind of a human being who is yet to be discovered. I have have infleunced the United States Presidents both past and President with my political advocacy and vision for a virtuous and free societies in Africa by using Cameroon as an example.   I have also infleunced Congress men and women as well as Senators of the United States with most critical issues affecting us in Africa and Cameroon. Every of my vision shared with Cameroonians for a transitional government has also been shared with US officials.When I came out with a blueprint on how to end poverty and injustice in Africa, a passionate memorandum ,which I shared with the White House and G-8 Summit officials in Canada, they both aknowledged receipt and reassured me of their unfringly commitment to take my suggestions into consideration vis a vis the Millennium Challenge Corpoartion( MCC) .   Since then I have continued to pursue the blueprint ,which I also shared with the World Bank.In almost every City that I have lived within the United States, I have made a difference and most oftenm resuting into new laws against issues or problems that violated either civil or human rights here in America or overseas in Africa. The list of my achievements are an integral  part of my resume,which I intend to reslease to Cameroonians,Africans and the world to see for themselves.   Therefore, I did not only influence the Synod of the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon when I published 100 theses for social justice reforms now being implemented for the good of thousands of people.In the aftermath, PCC christians are very conscious now about social justice and the dictatorial ways of the Synod.Free speech has taken a new level within the Churhces as Chritians are gradually taking back their powers from Synod members who used to bully and intimidate Christians and Pastors. What I mean is Christians know their sacred and inalienable rights now ,which was deprived of them by corrupt Synod members.   The 100 theses was a good example of stepping out of the box and it has impacted the Church and is changing lives. Also take great notice that the 100 theses has also influenced the Presbyterian Church ,USA in their partnership with the Presbyterian in Cameroon( PCC).In 2005, two copies of the 100 theses were given to the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Minneapolis who are very involved in Cameroon.Early in 1999 when I first published the theses, the Basel Mission in Germany also had a copy and have since then played a major role in the implementation of the 100 theses.   If you follow the Cameroon constitution right now, you will discover that so far I am the only person who has what it takes to help my country transition into a better nation. I have the qualification, character, vision, ideas , experience, education and human spirit to lead Cameroonians out of this current intransigence.President  Paul Biya is not eligible to run for President and so, too are all members of his government including but not limited to his appointed governors, Ambassadors and Directors. Also, his Parliamentarians both past and present are also not eligible because they are failed lawmakers at the time we needed them so bad to derail the crimes against humanity committed by President Paul Biya and his regime. By being aloof, it is clear that they aided and abetted injustice against Cameroonians.   It is not my fault that all of them failed to respect article 66 as well as uphold transparent electoral laws.I bring with me to the table the experience of a visionary leader ,which I have acquired since I was in Cameroon.While in the Diaspora, I have also distinguished myself again as a visionary leader. I have succeeded to educate, inspire and empowered Cameroonians in ways that they have become more conscious about politics with an unprecedented interest in Cameroon politics. These are some of the exceeding feats that I have accomplished and can only be very humble and grateful to God and those who have testified to this. I quote Mr Akoson Raymond just as one example.   When I started this movement to change Cameroon,, many of you SCNC people were fighting among yourselves over political asylum scams that some of you were accused of. There was no credible organization wihin the diaspora who could deliver except pro-CPDM lobby group like ACCDF.If you notice very well  as you come to the consciousness and realization that the enthusiasm of Cameroonians about Cameroon politics has grown leaps and bounds because of the style I adopted to engage them. This is a fact that my vision and method of empowering a new and  younger generation of Cameroonians to be interested in inclusive leadership has so far been a huge success. I do not want some of you to take away my achievements from me but be inspired and support a noble cause that will transform Cameroon into a virtuous and free society.If there is no contest then there is no  freedom.   Political  power is not supposed to be handed over willing but it should not also be earned through fraud and falsehood.What my vision articulates is for all of us Cameroonians and Stakeholders to come together.From there we create the appropriate political atmosphere and landscape where all of us will compete fairly like it is happening in other free and democratic societies. I deserve the sacred right to lead my people to freedom and prosperity. This is the case I have made to the US congress and the International civil society. I will never relent my effort as a political asylee within the US who has learned from Americans from all walks of life and willing and ready to use this knowledge to change Cameroon together with my fellow Cameroonians and stakeholders.   I know you have almost passed out since I engaged you. You people have been name calling others, too especially CPDM.So, if debating and arguing with you results into name calling ,which means you are dubious and tribalistic, then so be it. If name calling means that you guys are afraid of accountability, then I am glad that holding you accountable in public means name calling.You have not yet answered the fundamental questions that I asked you.   You named called the CPDM ex-Parliamentarian and accused him for seeking for votes among Southern Cameroonians by pretending that he cares about SCNC. Then questioned you about your Kah Walla doing the samething and why you did not have the same reaction you have against Paul Ayah? You claimed that she said she would bring up the SCNC issue if voted President! But Paul Ayah also has the same platform , right?   How come you SCNC people are now supporting the CPDM platform for fake Presidential elections in Cameroon whereas you were against them   and had given them some of the worst name callings ever? Your actions are very suspicious and I am right to be concern. None of you ever wanted to deal with anyone who was interested in Cameroon as one nation under God through a Federal system. You are more interested in political sound bites than explore issues with an objective mind largely because many of you are driven emotionally by your self-perpetrated stereotypes and prejudices.   You remember I gave you an assignment to do some research on the South African Truth Commission after apartheid and you did not. So, I decided to furnish you with first hand information on it  in a bid to justify the need for a similar Truth Commission for Cameroon. I was taken aback when you as a staunch SCNC member sounded indifferent to the proporsal of Cameroon Truth Commission, which will have the legal mandate to probe into all the crimes against humanity committed during and after colonization and neo-colonization. Can you explain why you are against the truth? We need the Cameroon Truth Commission in order to probe into all the allegations and accusations and counter accussations we have made  against each other with respect to the gross violation of human and civil rights. This is one of the ways for us to arrive at good governance and the rule of law.   It is true to observe that not everyone has respected the principle of engagement but so far I am satisfied  that I can humbly present myself anywhere as a very tolerant person who appreciates free speech. This is the difference between myself and many of you who still want to force intolerant and undemocratic leaders on others. Unfortunately, the time is over for all these.   In a civilized human society ,where primates are the lower specie and human beings created as dominion over primates, human beings are bound to be accountable because of their cognitive privileges.Some of you Cameroonians want to play politics of no accountability. It is wrong and outdated. Bens Awaah, there is no way you guys can escape from being accountable to te civil society. This is the lesson you are learning. You cannot proceed to vote people who have never been accountable except pointing fingers at SDF,Paul Biya and all what not.   You want that whatever you state or do should be the gospel truth and not to be constested. The slightest art of argument and debate infuriates some of you to the point of almost passing out. How can one ever trust any of you when you folks have no self-confidence and always angry when grilled? Mudoch arrives the British Parliament today to answer questions about the hacking scandal. So, you think he will start complaining like you folks, Bens Awaah?   Ironically, you are the same people who will blast Paul Biya and CPDM Party/regime as colonizers of Southern Cameroon. Now , you don't want to be grilled for your activities.  Let me conclude with this remarks of Justice Hugo Black   " The authors of the First Amendment knew that novel and unconventional ideas might disturb the complacent,but they chose to encourage a freedom which they believed  essential if vigorous enlightenment was ever to truimp over slothful ignorance..."   MY VISION IS AGAINST SLOTHFUL IGNORANCE   Thank you and may God Bless you   Jonathan Fru Awasom   http://virtuousandfreecameroon.blogspot.com   From: Bens Awaah <benawaah@hotmail.com> To: Cameroon Network <camnetwork@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Monday, July 18, 2011 9:35 PM Subject: RE: Ben Awaah and SCNC Two side cutlasses /Fw: [camnetwork] The Dynamite Kah Walla: Cameroon's Presidential Aspirant Oct...   Reverend, I am not in a contest with you.

My last words.   Nobody accuses you  of obsession and even if you were simply being reasonable , I will still question you to tell  me since when has a Dictator ever been defeated at a bollot box? I have never seen this happened before and there are no signs as of now that Paul Biya is ready to surrender at the ballot box. The mental of some people is strange to me because if someone hates Peter or Mary, automatically, they will hate every other person connected with them or like any other person other than them!   We, Cameroonians in the Diaspora especially here in America ought to be the ones advising our fellow Cameroonians about what we have discovered here in America. Bens Awaah, we should not just follow blindly or walk up and down in America like blind people and I am referring to moral, intellectual and spiritual blindness. What is the difference between us and our fellow Cameroonians back to show that we are from a more civilized and advanced democracy?   You are right that we should all express ourselves without fear or favor. So, will you like  people  like Paul Biya and Rt Rev Nyansa-Ni-Nku and their empires to continue to mislead Cameroonians who out of FEAR are forced to support them in order to survive? Those who argue that Cameroonians still want Paul Biya have the same apathy that many of you in the Diaspora have.   Why people like someone who oppresses and deprives them? You see, this is just what is wrong with some Cameroonians because somehow they give in easily.They can put up a good fight of faith. The sligtest think they are gone even maggi cube, don't be sruprised that a Teacher will take it just to vote for CPDM regime.   I believe that those who want to be real leaders should not manipulate and take advantage of our people. So, if you can express yourself without fear or favor then why should you be eager to urge your friends and relatives to WASTE their votes ?   I believe I have made my case and you have made you. Thank you for the healthy and constructive debate and argument. At the end of the day, you remain a gentleman, peaceful and thoughtful when you can and I have enjoyed this.   Good Night and good luck   Jonathan Awasom --- On Tue, 7/19/11, Bens Awaah <benawaah@hotmail.com> wrote: From: Bens Awaah <benawaah@hotmail.com> Subject: RE: Ben Awaah and SCNC Two side cutlasses /Fw: [camnetwork] The Dynamite Kah Walla: Cameroon's Presidential Aspirant Oct... To: "Cameroon Network" <camnetwork@yahoogroups.com> Date: Tuesday, July 19, 2011, 12:15 AM   Reverend, I am not obsess with Cameroon elections. However, I can express my opinion without fear or favor. Personally, it does not really matter who wins the forthcoming election in Cameroun. But, as a human being, I feel for those who wrongly believe that Cameroon is one country, who want genuine democracy in Cameroon. It is a tall order, but somebody has to wish it. That is what Camerounians are- wishers.

Bens Awaah, if you people go into those elections and come out empty ,plus complaint, we will sue you for corruption and exploitation of the people of Cameroon. I just thought you guys know that we are not joking with the destiny of our people. A few of you won't collect money left and right to betray people who deserve to be free at this moment in history. That is why I am raising awareness within the International community/civil society, which I don't share with you people here. Of course, it is your sacred and inalienable right to support any person of your choice whether or not they are an addition or substraction to the cause for change. You can vote anyone you like from the USA or buy the conscience of your closed associates to vote.Nobody can take that away from you but be careful that you are not also engaged in any wrongdoing. By the same token, it is also within my sacred and inalienable right to question and hold all of you accountable per  the same standards that Paul Biya is held accountable. If you people know that the electoral system is fraudulent and yet participate in any fake elections, the world must take notice because this is the explanation that will be given. Ignorance is blissful but information freely disclosed  discredits ignorance and opens floodgates of  accountability. Don't say you were never told that the electoral system is not in keeping with the laws of democracy. If you go into an election that is unjust, then you have obstructed justice for the people and taken advantage of them for frequent pleasure trips and exploitation. Just as some of you have been questioning Paul Biya and the CPDM regime, we must also question you people. I have noticed that some of you are very uncomfortable with the subject of accountability. As a very objective visionarist with the true and correct vision for a way forward for Cameroon, it is incumbent upon me to make sure that everyone is held accountable to the same standards irrespective of the circumstance. For years one could not drink cold water of peace  because of the high temperature of protest you SCNC  people  mounted against any of us who dare spoke  about Cameroon as one nation under God.You even came out and criticized me for propagating a theocracy and I had to caution you to be extremely careful because if you were concerned about theocracy in Cameroon then you ought not to be living within the United States,which is a nation founded on Divine laws as one nation under God, has a new birth of freedom and that government of the people for the people and by the people  shall not perish from the earth! I am questioning your inconsistent rationale and wondering if what you people are doing insn't  a conspiracy to try and sabotage our vision for a 24 months transitional government by helping Paul Biya to be life President?Otherwise why would you people intentionally want to participate in an elections on the CPDM platform,which you people have been very critical of since 2006? Worst still when you already know that Paul Biya will win? There is no evidence that you will even come close to a desirable percentage because of voters apathy. So, what is the game plan , Bens Awaah? I cannot just take things at face value. I must psychoanalyse and peep through the window curtains of the political gimmicks that some of you are involved in whereas there is a hidden agenda.It thus seem to me as I conclude that a few of you who have no conviction of your own  about what you want and where you stand are part of a contiuum of SPOILERS. But my  only advice to those who think that they can alter our resolve ,must know that we have been following conventional wisdom in terms of the Constitution of Cameroon, the electoral system and the universal principles of human dignity. Those who share in my vision and ideas as well elaborated on my blog will agree with me that it is proper to confront US officials especially the current administration over their rantings that Cameroon should have free and fair elections whereas they just published another horrible human rights record against Cameroon.

My blogg: http://virtuousandfreecameroon.blogspot.com/ You are not better up a Southern Cameroonian than most of us who have nothing to do with the plight of the people except seeking justice for the oppressed. How come you SCNC people are supporting a CPDM platform for fraudulent Presidential elections? How come you are validating the same injustice and crimes against humanity that you have wanted us to believe you were serious? Can you people answer these concerns? So, if you want you can say whatever you like. When SCNC was under attack by CPDM and FBI here, I was the one who stepped forwardd to defend their civil and human rights to protest against what they hold strongly. It is you SCNC people who are participating in an election organized by the Paul Biya and CPDM regime that you people have made us to understand that you hate. So, my questions and concerns are legitimate. How come you people are supporting the CPDM platform whereas we have been against it? This is what I don't understand because you people are either just misleading the primitive and illiterate campaign of Paul Ayah and Kah Walla or you people were just not the real SCNC people except some group of people who just want to SPOIL everything in Cameroon regardless of how good a vision is. If you think that my inquiries are out of place then I must differ with you as well as advice that you avoid scare tactics and intimidation. I want to understand something about you guys that is not clear to me. All of you were against me because we were bent to bring down CPDM regime and Paul Biya. Now you are not only supporting CPDM regime but you are actually participating in an election that is organized by CPDM regime.This means that SCNC was only a bunbury? Jonathan Awasom
