Added: 2026-05-09

[00:00:00]How do you come over here and you don't speak French?

[00:00:02]Like like how do you how do you do How do you come over here and you don't speak French? Like like how do you how do you do You boy, how do you come over here and I don't speak English?

[00:00:13]How? How do you come over here and I DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH?

[00:00:33]I MUST SPEAK English and sit down.

[00:00:36]You are a francophone So, Unasia, this has always been the mentality.

[00:01:08]This has always been the mentality. And it has always been the position of these people who think that because they are the majority everything that goes with them is law and that's how it's supposed to be. Now, I don't want to see me some person reduce this my video to maybe tailor it with direction where it's a language problem. No, it's not a language problem.

[00:01:33]But one thing you must know is that language goes with culture. Language is a very powerful tool, right? This our problem, this our fight, our position our independence movement is not a language issue. But we understand that >> [music] >> language is tied with the culture.

[00:01:52]It's very clear.

[00:01:53]Now, Cameroonese people them, La Republique people them, >> [music] >> they never make any effort, right?

[00:02:02]To even speak in English. [clears throat] I'm not saying that they should go today and learn in English because we already know that you have at at the bar, you have uh Oyongo, you have Onana who are very good English speakers.

[00:02:14]>> [music] >> Today, yes, of course, most of them are going to English schools now. Even go abroad, go to Canada, go to Australia, go to UK. Most of them are going to school. They study in English. Most of the uh Choupo-Moting, uh Kameni, you know, they speak English.

[00:02:30]You understand? Now, what you should know is the fact that French is the language of operation in La République.

[00:02:39]This is the language of operation.

[00:02:41]Whatever they say English or blah blah blah is just a dressing mirror.

[00:02:50]Have you ever heard Paul Biya make a just address only in English?

[00:02:56]Have you ever heard that? Where?

[00:02:58]Keep that aside, [music] anyway.

[00:03:01]Now, the language of operation, number one language of operation in La République is French.

[00:03:07]When you go to ENAM, the language of operation is French.

[00:03:12]Gendarmerie is French.

[00:03:14]Police is French. Even police college that is in Mutengene is French.

[00:03:20]>> [music] >> In Sonara, all those working there, the language of operation is French.

[00:03:27]Get this clearly. Get this clearly.

[00:03:31]It doesn't only Most of the top schools, ENAM, you can name the rest.

[00:03:38]Custom, whatever, you can name the rest.

[00:03:40]That's why you see most of our brothers when they get into La République system, it's [music] French.

[00:03:49]Any school they go is French.

[00:03:52]It's a fact.

[00:03:54]Okay, they can say okay, they speak English. English can be like 5 or 10%.

[00:03:58]>> [music] >> 90% is French.

[00:04:00]You have to learn French.

[00:04:03]It's a rule.

[00:04:04]But it is not a rule to learn English.

[00:04:07]Now, I will break it [music] down for you.

[00:04:11]Bilingualism in La République.

[00:04:15]Do you know the meaning of bilingualism in La République?

[00:04:18]It means you who [music] is speaking English, you should start speaking French.

[00:04:24]You know why?

[00:04:26]The person who is speaking French has no obligation to learn English because his language of operation is French.

[00:04:35]That's why you walk into any office in Douala or Yaoundé, you speak English, [music] not even into any office. Is that one is too high? Yeah, it's a higher level, right? Let's go to their market.

[00:04:47]To their market.

[00:04:49]Go to buy from those women who sell along the line. Those typical La République women >> [music] >> who are selling in the market.

[00:04:58]The moment you speak English to them, they say, >> [music] >> "Take that dialect and go away with it.

[00:05:02]Parlez avec votre patois là-bas."

[00:05:05]You get the point? So, we have been made in a system where >> [music] >> we are forced to learn the French so that we we should feel like we want to belong.

[00:05:14]Some of us don't speak French because we we love it. No, it's because the system force us.

[00:05:23]So, that is the process of assimilation.

[00:05:26]That is the process of of occupying a people, forcing them to behave like you because when you start speaking French, of course, you would like to start behaving like them.

[00:05:40]Language is a culture, whether you like it or not. It goes with culture. It's a reality.

[00:05:47]So, we have to be clear with all these things.

[00:05:51]Our stand, our fight, it's very clear and visible.

[00:05:56]>> [music] >> La République du Cameroun, they have no value. They have no regard for anyone who comes from Southern Cameroons. They don't care about you.

[00:06:08]They don't [music] care. It's about them.

[00:06:11]When they talk about regional balance, what do you understand by regional balance?

[00:06:17]If we talk about meritocracy, let me be clear and fair with everyone. If we talk about meritocracy today, if we say, "Okay, that La République, let people get into positions in that their government who deserve them. Let's Let's do meritocracy." If we talk about that today, I'm not sure you will have up to 10% of Cameroonians who find themselves in any position.

[00:06:43]We are more intelligent than them.

[00:06:45]It's a fact.

[00:06:47]They come to study in our [music] own system of education, which is more liberal, [music] more interactive, more, you know, evolving and everything. You can name the rest.

[00:07:03]But you hardly see us go to study in their own system of education.

[00:07:06]And many other things. We are smarter than them in everything.

[00:07:12]But these people make us to understand that we are inferior.

[00:07:17]We are not even third or fourth class people. We have no place in the world.

[00:07:23]Let's make a little comparison between 1958 and 1961.

[00:07:32]Southern Cameroons had a parliament, right? We had a prime minister. We had a government. We had everything. We were functioning as a state.

[00:07:42]We already had >> [music] >> an election with a peaceful transition of power. Two prime ministers within how many years?

[00:07:51]Let's make a little comparison.

[00:07:53]La République, 1960 right up to today, how many president?

[00:08:00]The difference is clear.

[00:08:03]The difference is clear, my people.

[00:08:06]Let's look at the broader broader scope.

[00:08:09]How many countries in the world, let's say in Africa, who are engaged in fighting and all the like, who are so corrupt?

[00:08:18]Are they not the French-speaking countries?

[00:08:20]Look at them very well.

[00:08:22]The difference is clear.

[00:08:24]Now, come back to our context.

[00:08:27]We have to understand that the master plan of La République, which they have passed to their generation upon generation, has always been that we will be their workers will be their slave and they will be our masters.

[00:08:43]Do you get it?

[00:08:46]There is no child from Southern Cameroon who is in La République who has a voice.

[00:08:55]There is none.

[00:08:57]If you have a voice there, you have to speak French.

[00:09:00]Even at Tangangji, at Tangangji can never hold a single session only in English in his own office, never. Even John Bute, he is obliged to speak in French.

[00:09:11]Why is it that he must speak in French?

[00:09:13]When Beti Assomo holds his own only in French, he doesn't speak in English.

[00:09:21]The master plan.

[00:09:24]That's why we must go out of this madness.

[00:09:27]And we have taken the right path.

[00:09:30]Look at our brothers who say they are uh content creators, comedians, >> [music] >> you know, those who are in showbiz, they they relate very well >> [music] >> with Nigeria than with La République people.

[00:09:46]Look at them very well. Most of them go to Nigeria.

[00:09:49]The comedians, the Godisz Fungwa, they go to Nigeria.

[00:09:53]The town 237 town cry, they go to Nigeria and they relate very well that way than with La République people.

[00:10:01]Why is it that Godisz Fungwa, 237 town cry, he did not go and relate with Musty Loco Charismatic?

[00:10:09]Why have you not seen them taking photos and being together?

[00:10:14]But you see them go to Nigeria.

[00:10:16]You get the point?

[00:10:18]We don't know we are we are not together with these people. And these people already know that we don't like [music] them.

[00:10:24]They don't like us anyway. They have never liked us.

[00:10:27]The only thing they like from us is our land.

[00:10:30]What comes out from the land.

[00:10:32]You like the fruits of a place. Like you love a mango mango, but you don't like the mango tree.

[00:10:39]We have no place in that rotten country.

[00:10:43]In that decaying La République, no place.

[00:10:46]We have to be clear on this.

[00:10:48]It's not that we hate them. We don't hate them.

[00:10:52]We are not obliged to love them as well.

[00:10:54]They have to go their way. Respect their boundary. We respect our boundaries. We are two different people, distinct people who came together to live in a federation.

[00:11:04]Two equal states, but today they tell us that they want to give us special status. How come?

[00:11:09]How come? Special in what?

[00:11:12]They are not special. We are the one who are special.

[00:11:15]>> [laughter] >> All those of you who go to school, you go you go to polytechnics and all the like, it's French.

[00:11:25]You have to learn French.

[00:11:27]That's why your brother who is in the village, the moment you hear that he passed the uh entrance into custom into a a a mayor a num.

[00:11:38]When he comes out, he starts speaking French.

[00:11:41]He's French.

[00:11:43]The This is the assimilation policy.

[00:11:45]Check all of them. Ask.

[00:11:48]So, those people believe that they are superior over us. One day now, one day.

[00:11:52]Anyhow, my people, I also want to understand the struggle within us, you know.

[00:11:57]>> [music] >> If French man if people never show you paper, that means you never wait until when I dey go rich.

[00:12:02]When I want to go go where I want to do a lot, so that I dey go go dey want go talk English with all people. You tell them say carry your corner go go talk.

[00:12:07]English na corner talk.

[00:12:09]>> [snorts] >> When they when they travel abroad, they dey go talk the English but outside. But when they come inside, they no fit talk am.

[00:12:16]You never hear somebody say I want to talk to you.

[00:12:18]I dress some people never English.

[00:12:21]You never hear Francis Ngannou address people never English.

[00:12:25]But when they go outside, they talk English.

[00:12:28]>> [laughter] >> I'll soon I give my next of kin money for my own they go.

[00:12:31]Try for no play where you come out. When you know your identity, you go always protect am. No man no fit take am away from you. Person no fit come tell you jazz.

[00:12:40]Na for there we stand.

[00:12:41]>> [music] >> I'm by my own heart.
