On the 19th of November 2017, Salatiel; the up-and-coming Cameroonian singer and record producer, shared a live video (on Facebook) of the Alpha better record members discussing mostly in the French Language.



This prompted one curious fan of Salatiel (possibly an Ambazonian) to ask a very important question (in Pidgin English)...

Wuna don last turn na French people?????????

And the Alpha better record Boss; Salatiel replied....

Who told U Salatiel is Anglophone? Do your home work.

TAKE NOTE!!! i didn,t write this article because i,m unhappy with what Salatiel said but because his question (who told you Salatiel is an Anglophone??) clearly exposes the misconception that many people have about the term "Anglophone Cameroonian" hence the reason why president Biya is proposing a wrong solution to the Anglophone problem.

Many Cameroonians (especially Musunge. Issa Tchiroma and many members of president Biya's administration ) believe that an Anglophone Cameroonian is a person who can fluently speak the English Language which isn't true.

The term Anglophone Cameroonians can perfectly be defined as a group of people who share a common culture, values and history.  In other words anybody who can fluently speak the English language but doesn,t share a common culture and history with the South Westerners and North Westerners isn,t qualified to be called an Anglophone Cameroonian. You can either call that person a bilingual person or an English literate. So just like Salatiel said, you guys really need to do your home work.

In my own opinion, this wide misconception of the term "Anglophone Cameroonian" and "Bilingualism" is one of the main reasons why the Anglophone problem won,t be solved through the establishment of a two state federation but through secession.

For example if Cameroon becomes a 2 state federation, many LRC Chameleons like Salatiel (who can fluently speak the English but doesn,t share the culture and values of the NW and SWesterners) will camouflage and infiltrate the Southern Cameroon local government giving rise to another Anglophone problem. So the ultimate solution to the Anglophone problem is secession.

Let me give you a brief history of the Alpha better records so that you can easily understand the message i,m trying to pass.


When Salatiel (a french Cameroonian) founded the record label; Alpha better records in Buea way back (in September, 2013), he knew that it wasn,t going to be easy to make it in Southern Cameroon as a french Cameroonian. So he camouflaged as an Anglophone Cameroonian in order to infiltrate the Southern Cameroon music market.


In 2014 Salatiel used a decoy track titled E GO BETTER by Mr Leo to infiltrate the Ambazonian music market. After E go better was released under Alpha better records, many Cameroonians thought that Alpha better records was founded by an Anglophone Cameroonian especially due to the fact that Salatiel was a fluent English speaker, the name of the record label was in English language and above all, the lyrics of Mr Leo E go better song clearly suggest that Mr Leo was born and raised in Southern Cameroon. Due to the above facts, the Southern Cameroonians gave Salatiel their full support.

After the E GO BETTER song became a huge success or after Salatiel succeeded in infiltrating the Southern Cameroon market bringing the Alpha better records under the spotlight, he mutated his Anglophone artists to French artists. Today more french titled songs like On va gere, Partout, Ma valeur, Qu'est qui na pas marcher , jamais jamais and other french musical noise have been released by the label and more will be released in future. In addition to that, Salatiel has encouraged other artists outside his label like Daphne, Ambe, Meshi, Blanche Bailly and many other artists to sing more in the french language.


Summarily (in conclusion), if Cameroon becomes a two state federal state, English literate administrators from the french regions of Cameroon will still infiltrate the Southern Cameroon local government and still propagate the french culture and values in Southern Cameroon.

So we the Southern Cameroonians really need to do our homework just like the so called Alpha better records boss said. We the Southern Cameroonians really need to master the difference between the term "Anglophone Cameroonian" and "Bilingualism".

I REST MY CASE.
