PRESS RELEASE No. 1 of 27th July, 2015
Excellence is a mind set. It is a way of life. It should be
part of our character just like there is salt in any soup. It is something that
we cultivate as children from primary school and continue to nurture and use
until we die. Excellence is a measure of how well we are doing things. It is a
scale that runs from very poor, to poor, good, very good and EXCELLENT. If we
do not strive towards excellence, we decay and fail to grow as it is happening
in Cameroon now. |

CAPBIYA
is here to put us and help us get unto the path of excellence, merit and truth through the reprogramming of
our youths. We have to rethink and adopt rigor and moralization. We have to
delete what is not working and grow and sow seeds of excellence. That is what
H.E. President Biya wants for us to get to 2035. If you think we wrong, go ask
him. He does not like us telling him lies and deceiving him when we fail in our
work and assignments. That is what he referred to as inertia.
CAPBIYA is the light
and salt of Cameroon. We must all be positive in our thoughts about self, others,
our communities and the nation. We must be productive, patriotic and love each
other.
CAPBIYA
advocates for GOOD GOVERNANCE based on Truth, Love and Service (sacrifice).
Our youths
must be properly trained to be producers of wealth and wellbeing in our high
schools, universities and higher institutes of learning. Our children must be
well brought up at home in the Fear of God. Currently, there is entrenched
individualism associated with lack of appropriate knowledge and skills for our
youths to be productive and competitive in the world market. That is why we are
poor, underdeveloped, lack jobs and crime abounds.
‘EXCELLENCE’ in the ‘CAPACITY BUILDING OF YOUTHS’ is the key. If we have failed
in Cameroon, it is because this ingredient was and is missing from our ‘cookery’ for we have been ‘boiling
tasteless youths’ for 60 years. What good is a soup without salt?
WHAT DO WE
NEED TO SUCCEED AS INDIVIDUALS AND AS A NATION?
We need STRATEGY!
1) We MUST ‘Think’ and ‘Work’ with God’s
principles of Truth, Love and Trust. We must have Faith in Him and ourselves.
2) Each one of us should use the 4Ps.
You must discover your PURPOSE on earth. Why did God
create you? Are you here just to eat, drink and look for women or are you here
to solve a problem? Which problems do
you like to solve that give you pleasure? That is your purpose for being on
earth. Work around it, study that field and create a company which will offer
jobs to youths and solve problems of common good in that area. That is your
purpose for being born. Nature will pay you for solving problems. You are not
paid for graduating from a university with a degree if you are unable to solve
a problem.
You need to have PASSION
or a burning desire for your purpose. This is what will make you get out of bed
on a cold night, climb mountains and cross rivers risking your life because you
are motivated from the inside by that drive to achieve your purpose. That is
why we have bad teachers in our schools because they have no purpose in
teaching. They looked for a job which did not tie with their God given purpose.
That is why there is so much corruption, no job satisfaction, rudeness and poor
quality of our work in Cameroon. Purpose and passion do not agree in our
spirit.
PLAN. Planning is
important. What resources do you have to achieve your purpose? What are the
time frames? What can you do on your own and who has to help you and at what
stage? Do you want to be spoon-fed all your life or when do you intend to be on
your feet? Where would you borrow the money from? Are you sincere or just a
419? Can you be trusted? Is your word as solid as gold? Are you thinking of
others in your plans or just about yourself and your family? Are you ready to
help others and work for common good? Make your objectives simple, measurable,
attainable, reasonable and time bound. Be accountable. Know your strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Always reassess your progress and
correct the fly path like a pilot as you go along. Revise your notes, get
proper training, seek advice from credible sources and be true to yourself. Do
not suffer from inferiority complexes and doubts.
Present your plans to God in
‘PRAYER’ on a daily basis.
Whatever activity you do, ask if God approves of it before you execute. If you
are to take a bribe and you know God does not like it, then do not take it. Ask
the people who take bribes and they will tell you they are unhappy irrespective
of the material things they have. Having things that are stolen is not growth.
Dwell in God’s presence and it shall be well.
3 Have a
great ATTITUDE and practice EXCELLENCE in all we think, say or do a way of life, a permanent mindset,
something we rise from bed with and go back to sleep with. It should stick to
us like our shadows.
4 We should
learn and use the principles for success that I was taught by H.E. Christian
Cardinal Tumi. We should like work. We
should like work that is well done. We must be honest at all times and should
have self discipline in our lives. We must pray to our God always and finally
we must respect the environment.
5 Get up and
D.I.Y.( Do It Yourself).Do not wait for the French, the Chinese and South
Koreans to work for you. Learn and get the skills and capacities to grow your
own rice, build your bridges, be your very best professors of technology and
engineering; build your own cars made in Cameroon, build your roads yourselves.
If you cannot do these things yourselves, you will always be poor.
6 Be
Creative. Create the industries and the jobs you want. Nobody is stopping you.
You are stopping yourself because you think you can’t. There is no room for
inferiority complex. Learn the right professional skills, top that up with
entrepreneurial know-how and use them to grow. Copy the Bamilekes.
7 Stop the
negative energy. Inferiority complex
will kill you. You think the minister’s son is better than you? Because you
were born black does not say that you are less intelligent than the white
American. Be yourself and trust yourself. Avail yourself of same opportunities
in life and you will make it. Ghana, Nigeria and others had independence at the
same time with us. Ghana has made her first car and it is already on the
market. It is made by Ghanians and has its brand name. Please google-search and
see for yourselves.
8 Forgive
and forget. Think positively and go the extra mile in whatever good job you do.
9 Study
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
10 Be the
light and the salt of the earth. Good Christians and Muslims can change
Cameroon for the better in two years if we want to. That is what the Cardinal
said.
11 We are
all born equal and no Cameroonian is more Cameroonian than the others. We have
equal rights and opportunities according to our talents and faith in God. None
is a slave. No Anglophones, no Francophones; no Beti, no Nordiste.
Yes we can! If and only if we stand up
together, reason together and work together like Cameroonians under one
leadership with patriotism and love for each other and our beloved Cameroon. We
have had independence from France and Britain. However, we need independence
from our low mental states, technological independence, financial independence
and independence from telling lies and deceiving ourselves. Your are truly
independent when you can tell the truth even to yourself.
Above all,
we should learn to make good use of our time. Time waits for no one and we have
learnt how to perfectly waste it in Cameroon. We are hardly ever early for any
activity except when it comes to having free food and drinks. A stitch in time
saves nine. Sow in due season and reap a good harvest. Go against nature and
you have a rendez-vous with poverty, illness and crime.
