OPINION : Blame Yourselves for Stealing, Embezzling, Not Biya or Colonial Masters - Dr Rexon Nting

Not in the name of Paul Biya, CPDM system, France, Great Britain and Germany (our colonial masters). Do your work diligently and as a patriotic citizen and stop looking for excuses.

If you are a minister in Cameroon, instead of diligently doing your work, you are busy creating fictitious companies and issuing contracts to your relatives and acquaintances, you are busy collecting bribes and giving contracts to people who are not going to execute the work, you are directly responsible for your own actions and cant blame it on Paul Biya even if he appointed you there or any other system.  

If you are a tax official in Cameroon, you go to your office, instead of collecting taxes and passing it over to the treasury for the money to be used to build schools, hospitals, roads, etc, you are busy collecting bribes and issuing fake certificates to people, you are directly responsible for your own actions and cant blame it on Paul Biya even if he appointed you there or any system.

If you are a police officer, instead of going around arresting criminals, you are focused on collecting bribes, you are directly responsible for your own actions and can’t blame it on Paul Biya.

If you are a medical doctor in a state hospital, instead of doing your work diligently, you and your administrators have organized teams that sells drugs (like HIV antiretrioval druges) and services that were supposed to be given to patients for free, you don't really care but people are dying carelessly, you are directly responsible for your own actions and cant blame it on Paul Biya even if he appointed you there.

If you are a rich parent, you are going around, bribing officials in government institutions like ENAM, EMIA, CUSS, etc to gain admission for your kids at the expense of other qualified candidates, you are directly responsible for your own actions and cant blame it on Paul Biya or any system.

PAUL BIYA: ARE YOUR HANDS CLEAN?
If you are banker and instead of granting loans to those who are genuinely qualified, you are collecting bribes and granting loans only to a selected group of people who can't pay it back without thinking of the risk of default and the impact of that on ordinary depositors, you are directly responsible for your own actions and cant blame it on Paul Biya or any other system.

If you are a Pastor, you are misinterpreting the bible, manipulating your subjects, always talking of tithes, offerings, first fruits and the blessing that follows these things, and collecting money from them, without showing any interest in their actual spiritual and personal development, you are directly responsible for your own actions and cant blame it on Paul Biya.

The blame game must stop. We should all stand up and learn to be responsible for our individual actions. Time for us to wake up and work, and stop blaming Paul Biya's system, colonial system, etc. We are responsible for our individual actions and all of us should own up to it.

  1. Partly true. The fact remains that the system encourages this kind of behavior. Those living in the western world are also humans and are liable to the kind of atrocities that you mentioned in your posting but bc of the system in place, the occurrence of such malpractices has been reduced to a minimum. To move forward we need to do two thing:
    1. Change our mindset
    2. Change the system in order to achieve more accountability (accountable to the people and not to an individual "Paul Biya" as is the case at the moment.

    I hope you now understand why I say, your write up is partly true.
