MY OPEN APPEAL TO CAMEROONIANS AND SUNDRY: WE MUST AGREE TO AGREE

                My Fellow Cameroonians  and concerned citizens of the world
 
WE MUST AGREE TO AGREE AND MOVE CAMEROON FORWARD TO FREEDOM 
 
 
The spirit of our forefathers and mothers is alive and strong. We will never stop seeking God's intervention in our beloved nation Cameroon. I urge all of you to continue in prayers as well as be proactive wherever you are on this earth.No weapon fashion against us will prevail.We are bound to be free and we will not look back until we become a virtuous and free Cameroon society.
 
All Cameroonians who may be tempted to accept bribes from dictator Paul Biya of Cameroon to participate in his self-made Presidential elections to enable him remain in power for life, should be extremely careful never to regret for betraying our country. A word to a wise is sufficient because the constitution is clear that Mr Paul Biya and his government are not eligible to govern Cameroonians again. We have to learn how to be patient and not to be enticed by money that is being distributed by the state to go around corrupting and misleading people to participate in an election that will never be free and fair.
 
In 2009, I humbly launched a vision for a 24 months peaceful transitional government for Cameroon alongside 21 points and a suggestion of a 33 councils to enable a transitional government. Under this same vision, I articulated an inclusive visionary leadership to empower Cameroonians from all walks of life especially young men and women at home and abroad to be more involved and participative in politics and nation building.Yet, I also emphasized that we have to work together as a team and not as a divided house.
 
May 29,20011 will mark exactly three years of this vision amid persecution and retaliation from all angles. But I am still humble to know that the political persecution and retaliation I am undergoing here in the United States is a living testimony that the United States officials under the previous and  current administration have been touched by the truth.
  
As your Senior Community Political Advocate and Organizer here in the Diaspora  since 2006 due to my situation , I wanted to continue to appeal to all Cameroonians  and well-wishers to rise up to this historic occasion in the life of our beloved nation Cameroon. This moment in history is very critical and we must never waver or submit ourselves to any cause of action, which we know will take us back to 1992 in Cameroon.
 
The political landscape US/Europe-Cameroon has been extended beyond the shores of Cameroon because of the presence of powerful nations as stakeholders. It is up to us to define the political terrain and as far as I am concerned, we must consider the fact that so long as CPDM regime of Cameroon is located in the societies where are resident as political asylees, meaning we fled from persecution, we have the absolute right to stand up and make our case known to the world. You can now understand why in spite of attempt to stop me, I have persisted because all of us must work together to change Cameroon.
 
We must continue to prove to the world and especially to the State Department under Secretary Madam Hilary Clinton, President Bill Clinton, National Democratic Institute and National Endowment for Democracy that we are well educated and informed about what constitutes a democratic society. The United States, France and Britain do not need to lecture us again on what ought to be the definition of freedom, liberty, human rights ,civil rights and above all living in dignity.
 
They taught us directly or indirectly to the extent, which we are dangerously intelligent and knowledgeable with the right frame of mind set to become productive citizens of the world. We cannot spend the rest of our lives taking down notes or listening to others telling us what they feel about us and what  they think we should be doing for our own societies. We know and all we need is support and not lectures on good governance, rule of law and ending poverty and injustice.
 
To accept this kind of one way- traffic relationship is to say the least that we are babies  or puppies who should be given milk all the time. Unfortunately, our baby sitters aren't baby sitters enough to give us milk when we really are in need of milk. It reminds me of Jesus Christ who was tasty for fresh water and was instead offered vinegar! Let the tyrant and dictator  of Cameroon step down now.
 
Let me reassure you without  underminding our common sense spirit that the foundation for a  solid democratic society is cemented by strong values and principles ,which prescribes fundamental democratic rules and laws drawn to uphold an even playing field for everyone.In this way, ensure that the relationship between the govern and governors is transparent and worthy of accountability
 
In myriad of ways the Cameroon administration at home and abroad have also been cornered to the extent, which President Paul Biya and his government were opened to embracing young people to seek public office for the first time  after I declared my candidacy to lead a transitional government for my beloved country, Cameroon in November, 2009 apparently, I was one of the youngest God-fearing man to stand up!
I declared my candidacy overseas because I wanted the world to know, I am within the US on political asylum because of the bad government of Cameroon.
 
For the first time in history, our political asylum was not just some kind of  prestigious award hanging on the walls or standing on the TV station in our homes but it became a cyber  grassroot political instrument for change. Oh, yes, I have argued with US officials especially religious and political personalities since 2006 that my political asylum was based on the fact that the CPDM government of President Paul Biya connived with the Church and falsely persecuted and prosecuted us.Consequently, it was appropriate to stand up for church reforms and also for  a new political system to enhance  a virtuous and free society in Cameroon, Africa, thus FREECCAM'A.
 
 
There is one specific objective that I wanted to achieve during my 11 years as a Senior Community Consultant ,Organizer and Political Advocate, which is to eventually educate, inspire and empower a new generation of right thinking Cameroonians/Afrcians from all walks of life to focus on nation building. This older generation of Africans are gradually passing away. Although, it has not been a smooth sail granted the obvious difficulty some people face in transitioning and worst still with some of the distractions and distortions, I must remark that there has been quite a surge in a new paradigm shift in perception and appraisal of important issues that affect our lives as a community, nation and part of the larger human family by well intentioned Cameroonians and Africans. Even neutral people had some great things to say about the work we have been doing since 2006.
 
In many and varied ways, I can humbly state with exceeding joy that we are  about  70 % successful in this vision of inclusive and visonary leadership directed to energize, organize and mobilize and empower Cameroonians to stand up as agents of change.Some of my critics eventually came to the realization that I was right to have a God-centered vision.Change happens when people are educated about why change is necessary but most importantly, when a global awareness is created in ways that it puts the corrupt tyranny and dictatorship dancing on hot bricks like horses.
 
One thing I want to share with all of you is I never ever boasted to be in charge of this vision for I know it was divinely conveyed to me  to pass it on through the wisdom that God put in my heard and the love for humanity in my heart. As we are longing for a new society ,  a city of virtue and freedom under good governance and the rule of law, I will never refrain from my work as a community organizer because I know it has paid up dearly.
 
To God be the Glory
