Colonial Governor For The Southern Zone, Okalia Di Lie, Writes Wrong Grammar In A Public Press Relea

In a Press Release signed on November 10, 2017, placing a curfew in the Southern State of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia, the colonial governor has written wrong grammar in the name of English language, in which he claims to ban several public activities.

Because of the poor grammar which made up the content of the message, it is not clear if activities are banned during the day or in the night, as somewhere he mentioned "...7am (in the night)...". If at all, people will respect an order from someone they seem not to recognise, many are asking questions if it is the " ...7am..." They will recognise or it will be the "...in the night..." that they will recognise.

We at the Southern Cameroon's Resistance Press see this statement as an insult and a trap to get more anglophones in into their colonial jails, considering the wrong timing.

On the other hand, many are asking questions if any anglophones work in the colonial office. It is clear that, like our schools and courts, either all the administrators there are francophones (what we are fighting against) or the few anglophones are not given the attention the need to serve the people (sorry, "dogs") well. This attitude is very common with the francophone administrators. They see neither anglophones nor their perfect work as nothing. A typical case was seen with a Press Release issued by a department of CRTV headed by Charles Ndongo, where completely francanglais was used to send out public information.

The truth is that, they just say, "Ah!! Serve it like that. They are dogs. The don't need anything near good". 

One big paradox is that anglophones own father, Peter Mafany Musonge, though long disowned, as the head of the scam called Bilingualism Commission, sees all strategies to frustrate his own people and keeps quiet.

Many have however, declared their intentions not to respect anything, not only because they do not understand at all, but because such colonial administrators are no longer recognised in this region.
