Cameroonian Writer Asks Richard Bona “To Keep Quiet”

Richard Bona
“You said that you would no longer place your feet in Cameroon because the dual citizenship is not allowed in Cameroon, so stay in your country and talk about the dramas that hit your country,’’ said Martha Cecilia Micca.

Martha Cecilia Micca, who is a Cameroonian writer, sent an open letter recently to the Cameroonian, Richard Bona, about the Monique Koumatéké case which continues to dominate the chronicles in the country of Paul Biya.

The writer indicated that the international bassist does not contribute to improving the living conditions of Cameroonians, and that it would be better for him to remain silent. The Pan African bimonthly newspaper, La Voix des Décideurs, granted her in its edition on newsstands from 15 to 29 March 2016 an open forum.

“If there’s fire in the house you do not come with fire to extinguish it. People who want to burn Cameroon have really good reason to do so. A trial is underway in the case of Monique Koumaté so we should wait to see the outcome of this problem as we are all preoccupied. Also, I was led to go to Google to find out if by chance you opened orphanages in Cameroon. If you have companies that employ and remunerate Cameroonians. I tried to find out the top of your rich career if you have trained or produced Cameroonian artists. Unfortunately, I found nothing,” said Martha Cecilia Micca.

Also in the open letter from the writer, one notes some points recalling Richard Bona on his American citizenship that from the perspective of the latter, he has no permission to insult the President of the Republic Paul Biya.

Besides, the daily newspaper Mutations in its edition of March 18 indicated that the artist on a post on his Facebook account said that the secret services and intelligence of Cameroon were trying to kill him. It read in this post, the skilled artist President of the Republic of “Satan.’’  A statement, which clearly displeases Martha Cecilia Micca.

“Richard Bona the famous American musician from Cameroon with all due respect to you I tried to understand what motivates your approach when you grant freedom to treat the president of all Cameroonians of Satan. At first, I thought that you definitely are a son of Satan who bows before Satan his father to obtain glory and fame, decided to attack his brother Satan. Sir, start by insulting the American Barack Obama. Can you tell us the number of blacks that are shot every day in the US at close range?’’

About insecurity caused by Boko Haram in the north of Cameroon, Martha Cecilia Micca also calls the bassist out.

“Furthermore, I would like to know how your celebrity has been beneficial to Cameroonians. Since Boko Haram rife in Cameroon, I saw no motion of support for the Cameroon Army on your wall. You definitely have a brain of a rare species that grows to have a selective assessment of the various realities of Cameroon. You said you will not be stepping your feet in Cameroon because dual citizenship is not allowed in Cameroon. So stay in your country and talk about the dramas that hit your country. If the situation of Cameroonians bothers you that much, I think you have better things to offer them,’’ she said.
