 CAMEROON-INFO.NET :: When I was in Nkongsamba, I saw some of the key members of this coalition up close
The oldest political party in the history of Cameroon, UPC (Union of the Peoples of Cameroon), which was banned in 1956 by French colonial rulers, was going to hold its first post-independence convention in the town of Nkongsamba, about 50 miles from Douala.
We were appointed president and vice president of the UK section and would receive all of the privileges that went along with those titles.
The fact that the speaker was originally from the same village as the current president of Cameroon seemed, in the eyes of the other UPC members, to increase the credibility of his attack.

President Obasanjo whose constitutional review panel had apparently settled for a single-term presidency chose instead to adopt the classic Nigerian style of killing panel reports by allowing them gather as much dust as possible in his cabinet.
The decision of The Patriots to throw their heavy weights behind a five-year single term presidency on October 15 was in fact about the first time such a collection of powerful voices would bring attention to an issue of which a greater percentage of the common people had been holding a consensus over the years.
If the president and/or the legislators hatched a plan that could benefit them politically in a long-term in this regard, such a plan could be legitimately described as diversionary and escapist in the sense that they were trying to detract attention from the real issues at stake for their own political benefit.

 The Post Online (Cameroon): Cameroon Is Still Extremely Corrupt - Brian Cooksey
You know that Cameroon was considered the most corrupt country of the countries, which were listed in 1996 and is gone from the most corrupt African Country to being the third or fourth most corrupt African Country.
It is very serious when you look at the general lack of progress in terms of Cameroon's attempt publicly and privately, to reduce corruption, compared to the indicators that show that those attempts are not leading anywhere very significantly.
This is because, some of the debts that Cameroon has piled over the years, are the fault of bad lending; it is not just the fault of the Cameroon government wasting otherwise good lunch.
