Mr Daniel Ekiko My blog now carries this article. Pass it on! Thank you very sincerely for your rebuttal. You are welcome into the struggle with reasonable minds. As you know we have been labouring in love for a long time now. I have a complete definition of a virtuous and free society on my blog.You have to surf my blog and appreciate the essence of what virtue and freedom entails broadly speaking but so far this is now summarized with the 10 points underscoring the correlation between religious liberty and political freedom as bed fellows for the moral and spiritual transformation of human kind and Cameroon will not be left out. Virtue and free society explains the moral and spiritual obligation to cherish, preserve and safe lives under the love of God and respect for the rule of law. Besides you, there is also another fellow Cameroonian known as Janvier Tchoutu who joined the triumphant generation, our generation of focused and positive minds for change.I wonder if you have ever taken a moment to glance through his blog? We believe in systematic change as the surest way to bring about authentic change in Cameroon and you cannot attempt to change a system without stepping on the toes of people who are on the wrongside of authority. Do you get my argument? Therefore , we must distinguish those in authority who love power from those who love the country, Cameroon. I have fine-tuned my vision as follows. Besides working with my other closed associates like CAMDIAC men and women calling on Paul Biya to step down against the backdrop of the Manifesto for a Virtuous and Free Cameroon, which marks the preamble of this historic life transforming journey into a new Cameroon, the revolution of the conscience and commotion of the human spirit is all staked into the following 10 conditions for a new Cameroon otherwise virtuous and free society. 1) 21 points for a transitional Government to last for 24 months published since 2009 2) The Foundational case for the 21 points and Transitional Government accompanied the 21 points reinforced by " Yea, We must be Free" 3) The 33 council for the functioning of the Transitional Government indicating the method for good governance and the rule of law under God, one nation united in our common dreams and aspirations 4) The Federal system of government with Independents States or regions under a new political paradigm with the separation of powers under the three arms of Government namely the Executive, Legislative and Judiciary Branches with the appropriate constitutional texts for the enforcement of the laws. 5) The Cameroon Truth Commission and Cameroon( CTC) Integration and Reconciliation Council( CIRUC) to follow the example of other Truths Commissions in Africa 6) The Elaborate Peace Plan , known as the Road Map for a peaceful plan for Cameroon.This is a preventive measure,which hightlights a pragmatic approach and long term solution to solving the Cameroon problems in the light of the above 5 points 7) The role of stakeholders in Cameroon ,who include various Cameroonian organizations and influenctial people outside of the corrupt tyranny and dictatorship of the CPDM regime. Yes, I hold very strongly that we cannot solve Cameroon's problems by pretending that powerful countries like France, Britain, United States and Germany are irrelevant in all these.They have been part and paracel of Cameroon.Consequently, their presence and involvement in Cameroon must not be ignored if we must foster the "beloved community" and build bridges across tribes, regions, countries and continents regardless of race, gender creed and national origin of people. That is why I have called for operation isolate Paul Biya recently and this isolation is being championed by those of us eyeing the big picture away from temporal and selfish benefits 8) I have also developed a blueprint on Government and Social Policy ,which is another smart way of asserting the vital importance of social justice reforms for the Cameroons and by all consideration ,this vision resonates with the political platform of the famous Social Democratic Front Party, SDF. You see, a good government has a way of connecting with the civil society and that connection( bridge) is called social policy.Why do you think social policy is needed, Mr Daniel? We must promote human dignity by developing social polcies for senior citizens, disable citizen, mental people, single families struggling with abusive spouses, abandoned children or run away youths from abusive families,provide public transportation for those who need it as well as ensure that there are programs that equip and train Cameroonians to be ready to be employed and contribute to the work force. It also means introducing time clocks as a rigorous aspect of accountability in the public and private sectors 9) I have also discussed about Govrnment and Ethical Standards to ensure that we are able to hold government to be transparent and accountable. Through this all public officials must declare their assets at home and abroad. 10) I have also discussed that we all proceed to stop fake financial statements by fake bank Managers issued to Cameroonians who seek visas to travel to the USA as well as investigate and penalize all Cameroonians who are still on the pay roll of the Government but are no longer resident in Cameroon.These are Cameroonians who have taken up residence in foreign countries and are stealing from the people.We will also avoid political asylum scams. Concomittantly, I have great respect for you as a fellow Cameroonian reasons why I like to engage , debate and argue with you. You are fast becoming one of the names that I am watching with keen interest to be partners in the reconstruction of Cameroon but I believe that if you were around in 2009 when I began to inspire and empower Cameroonians and African with what I have called a new generation of visionary and inclusive leaders, you would not have come to the conclusion you have drawn about me. What I like about you is the fact that you are not emotional and driven by "slothful" intolerance but most importantly because you said that you still love Cameroon and will want to see a better Cameroon come to pass.However, you plunged me into a laughing disaster with your statement below and I quote; "Disaster is waiting to happen with MR. Awasom as President of the New Cameroon. Mr. Awason is disrespectful of authority to begin with a bad receipt for any kind of leadership" Daniel Ekiko Let me begin by stating that I am not disrespectful of authority so long as that authority is not disrespectful of the sacred and inalienable rights of their fellow human beings. It is quintessential for you to understand why through out history, every authority that flouts the universal principles of human dignty has been brougt down to its knees whether through hook or crook. There is no evidence to pin down that I disrespect authority although I know that speaking truth to power most of the time has caused some panic and discomfort within certain quarters of powerful men and women with authority. If people handle authority properly,they will never have to come face to face with activists, human rights and political advocates. Do you see my point? I will be overloading you with obvious evidence except that from time to time it is necessary to refresh your memory with the hope that you'll not slumber into "slothful ignorance" with the lack of "rigorous enlightenment". The men who have inspired and propelled me to this unprecedented platform of political advocacy grounded in a revolutionary and life transforming vision for a virtuous and free society are the men who are known as the founders of America. I tell you what,if they were too humble and continue to leak the boots of the King of England,there would probably be no America where most of these Cameroonians and Africans have found as a solace and refuge from the stormy blast that has engulved Cameroon for decades. While I have not challenged authority in the same manner that the founders did, still I have been blessed with the audacity to tell them the truth and from all indications, I know they have been very agitated and trying to resist me but I am going no where anytime soon. I am in for this till the end and must stay the course. The founders existed and created an amazing virtuous and free society that has landed the United States on the beautiful garden of life, liberty and prosperity. I have always been very honest with all my supposed enemies and extra-ordinary powerful men and women who hate me for nothing that by hating me, they are doing disservice to the Founders who elected me to embody their spirit to turn Africa around from the darkness of moral, spiritual and intellectual ignorance to the rising sunshine of moral , spiritual and educational enlightenment. In short, we must never respect authority that is disrespectful of the people under them and worst we must alter, abolish and replace if we can any such arrogant authority that violates our human rights. Right now Daniel, God has anointed many of us to lead Cameroon into a virtuous and free society and I will welcome you with your own ideas.After all when I launched this revolutionary movement for genuine change in Cameroon, I urged Cameroonians to come on board with collaborative initiatives because we need noble men and women who are matured and educated to set an example , work together and export the ideals of America to Cameroon as an addition to the ideals that are still holding Cameroon intact. Any authority in Cameroon that is against God's people is bound to collapse and Ekiko, you are a fellow companion to join us to flush out the CPDM system to pave the way for a virtuous and free society. In the meantime, keep up the good job of making your case with an open mind and spirit to share your thoughts as well as debate your fellow Cameroonians.
