Hello I'm I fellow Cameroonian who has a few things that I'd like to address and let people know about Mr. Paul Biya. I'm an Anglophone and yes I do believe that Paul Biya is a strongman he doesn’t care about our country he only cares about him self and HIS money. Cameroon used to be a very beautiful place VERY beautiful in he became president. And it upset me greatly to hear my parents talk about how it was so beautiful and I not getting a chance to see my country, as it was when Paul Biya wasn’t president. Recently he has made the citizens of Cameroon do a tax I believe it was which isn’t really necessary it's just taking up money that the citizens don’t have because he's taken everything away. He's a fake and hopefully within a couple of years when he dies we will have a fresh start with a new person in charge. Every time he visits America we've come up with un expensive ways that we can help the improvement of Cameroon with all of the technology and computers that we have hear in America for instance radio stations and so forth. I may even blame we the people as well because when he come we don’t present him with ideas we try and get him to improve our villages and family which is unrealistic when we can present him with bigger ideas which cost less and will benefit more people. Hopefully with time and patience our once beautiful country wont be a memory but a reality. --70.248.169.229 23:08, 29 July 2005 (UTC) Anonymous Cameroonian[reply]

Response to the fellow Cameroonian

My Dear fellow, There is no Anglophone in Cameroon. Cameroon is a mixte of more than two hundred tribal groups such as Bakwedi, Bakossi, Beti, Bakoko, Bassa, Grassfield and so one. Our country accepts by the constitution to use both french and English to connect itself with the International communities. You can not describe yourself as an "Anglophone". It not a shame to say that you are from Bakwedi or Duala. Before Western European Countries such are UK and French come to our country, our ethnic groups exist. Is it because you speak the english language that you define yourself as an "Anglophone"? What mean an Anglophone in the Cameroonian context? I am from Bakoko, and Iam proud of that. I speak Bakoko, Duala, Bankon, Bassa, Ewondo, English and French. For you because I'm Bakoko, how are you described me? My kids are raised in USA and they speack only English and some few words in Bakoko, How are you described them? Be proud to be a Cameroonian, a beautiful contry, don't accept acculturation or division created by colonialism. We don't really need that to build our country. Together we can do better and more!
