It is argued in this essay that reunification was a minority ideology conned largely to the Cameroon people of the Southwestern quadrant. That notwithstanding, its chief proponents were Francophones who conceived it, propagated it, and sustained it until the United Nations recognized it in the 1960s. The 1961 reunification of the British Southern Cameroons and the former French Cameroons was an extraordinary event, as peoples of different colonial backgrounds decided to form a single state.

It is true that colonialism in a sense; deprived the colonized of both their past and their future. They are brainwashed to believe that they have had no past worth bothering about. Whereas they have no hope for a better tomorrow in their colonized country; especially when a country like France, which has no moral fabric, is concern. Systematical brainwashing is obvious with the French. They do all to make you believe that their language and values are the best. You have to speak and behave like them.

Chapter I THE PEOPLES OF BAMENDA DISTRIBUTION OF MAIN ETHNIC GROUPS BEFORE we examine the economy of Bamenda and its bearing on the position of women, a somewhat detailed account of the history, ethnic character and distribution of the peoples is necessary since very little information has been published. The total population of the Province as given in the Annual Report for 948 is 301,000; but this is estimated from figures for adult taxable males, the last census having been taken in 1931. The people are negroid, with possibly a northern strain in some of the Tikar tribes. They vary considerably in physique; but, in general, those of the uplands appear to be taller, wirier, and of better build than those of the forest, where malaria, filaria, yaws, goitre and elephantiasis are prevalent. Apart from the analysis of the Nkom language by the Rev. Father Bruens, very little linguistic research has been done in Bamenda. The Basel Mission has translated the New Testament into Bali, and the Roman Catholic Mission has made some study of the language of Nsaw and produced a catechism in Nkom. The languages of Bamenda have hitherto been classified as Benue-Cross River (or semi-Bantu) and the Tikar placed in the Bafumbum-Bansaw group. But, in a recent set of articles dealing with a reclassification of West African languages, Greenberg has suggested that Bali, Bafut and Ndob (and presumably this would be extended to the dialects spoken by other Tikar peoples in Bamenda) are Bantu. But a definitive classification must wait on further research, as well as the publication of the results of the linguistic field survey of the northern Bantu Borderland now being carried out from the French Cameroons.

~ Idea 1001 ~ 7 April 1997 During the Vancouver youth conference, a World Passport was distributed to the students to fill out. One of them objected, saying: "In a One United World there is no need for any passports. I propose that there should be a standard World Identity Card, the contents of which would be defined as agreed upon by nations." It is an excellent idea which merits to open these second one thousand ideas as a countup to the year 2000. ~ Idea 1002 ~ 8 April 1997 All twinned cities in the world should prepare and celebrate together the year 2000. Not yet twinned cities should find a partner-city to twin with. A World Community of Cities should be created to increase the love and cooperation between all city people on Earth. It is hard to believe what a little money from people in the rich cities can do for poor, hungry, homeless and illiterate people, especially children, in poor cities. ~ Idea 1003 ~ 9 April 1997 I recommend that a United Nations Consultative Parliament be created immediately, composed of representatives of all existing national Parliaments, under rules of procedures agreed upon by the International Parliamentarian Union. Like the European Consultative Parliament which had only consultative functions but was highly instrumental in creating the European Union, it would have only consultative functions to start with, but would lead to the creation of a much needed World Union. ~ Idea 1004 ~ 10 April 1997 Barbara Gaughen ~ Idea 1005 ~ 11 April 1997 We are privileged to have become the most advanced species on this planet, in our solar system and perhaps in the universe, thanks to our intelligence and acquired knowledge which give us an almost complete consciousness of our home, of space and of time.

Robert Muller's For A Better World Selected Topics Capitalism ~ Idea 312 ~ 18 May 1995 There is much pressure from the rich countries for free world trade, because they have a distinct historic, economic, scientific and technological advantage to invade the poor countries with their products and advanced marketing and advertisement, often changing the traditional, more healthy, natural, better habits of these countries, where moreover advertisement is very cheap. The poor countries should raise the issue of free migrations, of the freedom of people to settle anywhere on our planet. People should claim this as a fundamental human right. Why only world free movement of goods, and no free movement of people? The United Nations must hold a world conference on the free movement, migration and settlement of all humans on this planet. It will have to be raised sooner or later. The sooner we do, the better. ~ Idea 557 ~ 18 January 1996 Since business was first to globalize itself world-wide, far beyond governments and religions, and since corporations are now for all practical purposes ruling the world, we should give them the opportunity, even request them to hold a World Conference on Proper Earth Government through the Free Market System The world business community should be asked to answer how they would take care of the above complaints of the Earth, of humanity, of the past and of the future, how they would provide for a well preserved planet and the well-being of all humanity, the five basic harmonies and the long-term evolution of the planet.

A Critical Survey of the Resuscitation, Activation, and Adaptation of Traditional African Female Political Institutions to the Exigencies of Modern Politics in the 1990s: The Case of the Takumbeng Female Societ y in Cameroon Sussana Yene Awasom Senior LecturerCEFAM, Buea, Republic of Cameroon. Executive Secretary, Ngemba Women’s Born-house Forum, Buea Cameroon CODESRIA 10 th General Assembly, Kampala, Uganda, 8-12 December 2002 Introduction In the wake of the Beijing Conference on Women Rights, the old debate on the reality or myth of the marginalization of African women in politics since pre-colonial times resurfaced. Even where indigenous female political organizations existed, played important political roles, and had been highlighted by anthropologists who were struggling to understand traditional socio-political organization of African societies ( cf Henn 1978; Guyer 1984; Nkwi 1985; Ritzenthaler 1960; Wipper 1982; Kalb 1985), there is still the stubborn refusal among chauvinist academic circles that African women really matter or ever mattered. Attempts at re-evaluating their roles are interpreted as simple romanticization. This paper is not an excursion into the imbecility of verifying the marginal or worse still, absent role of women in politics. Every where today in Africa, the female educated elite are rising to ask for a fair power sharing formula with their counterparts to effectively participate in the development of our continent (O’Bar 1984; Onalenna 2001). But traditional female indigenous institutions continue to resurface, readjust and conquer space in the sphere of modern politics.
