   Dear Publisher
   I am scandalized to realize that this communication medium is used as a propaganda machine and an avenue to spread lies. I do not incriminate you because you might be reporting stories you heard from whosoever.

   FACTS
   1- Professor Ngwafor had 75 votes against nobody, in fact he lost 26 votes to himself as the Kameni you put in your article did not stand any elections against the Prof.
   2- The photograph you put of the said Kameni (smiling Loser) is not taken on the day of the elections and Kameni was never a loser he never stood an election and Soba values did not allow him legitimize a Masquerade and an illegality.
   3- The Eminent Professor either misread or misunderstood or was extased to have misunderstood Honorary President for Honorary membership and even went ahead to quote the constitution of SOBA. Imagine this catastrophe before his student.
   4- Following the Constitution there is no provision for SOBA VPs in the USA and Europe. your right up is a farce and a misrepresentation.
   5- You failed to mention that all the SOBANS who paid their national dues who had the right to vote by proxy and who eventually sent same were disenfranchised.

   Finally Mr Publisher next time you dare to write an article on sasse or Soba you should be better instructed that we are Cameroonians of a particular intellectual and moral class. I am sorry you were used.

   Thank You

   Dear Sir, this article has no author, are you sure it is not written by Prof Ngwafor or Leke or Oben?

   As a junior soban present during my first ever attended AGM. I was disappointed with the behavior of three eminent professors who were so desperate to prove that they failed during their administrative life and want to use Soba to regain popularity. In fact i was so ashamed that I had to stay and vote for the composed Barrister who gave a vision for the college. I was shocked to hear that all soba rules had to be violated in order to make the professor win. It was like a man carrying an elephant still struggling to pick up an ant and collapses under the weight of what he has. If I were a Soban in the diaspora I will not attach my self to such shame to have been appointed in absentia when there is no provision for that. All I heard was the 75th Anniversary, is it all about the money? well we could have been preps but we watched and listened attentively. We had no listens to take home.

   Erudite Barrister, the phrase is write-up not ‘right up’ for starters. I would urge you to graciously back down as these outbursts do nothing to help your course. Some people cannot help but wonder if it is the money coming in next year that makes you toss and turn and loose sleep at night or whether you genuinely love the SOBA brand? Because if it were the latter, you would seat back patiently and honourably awaiting the next elections. You should take this precious time to build your network nationally and not locally; only then would you stand a chance. I would have thought you could afford to hire a bus or two to enable your supporters commute the short-haul distance between Sasse and Buea, surely that would have demonstrated more commitment. There is no evidence to suggest that if the other chapter brought in their own list of proxy voters nationally and worldwide you would stand a chance. This argument lacks umph and does no justice to you. It makes sense to do the honourable thing and concede. Finally, your choice of words show your desperation because an honorary president can only be conferred upon an honorary member whose definition is clearly underscored in the constitution, except you propose changing the texts?

   As for you Danny, in life they say do something about it or shut up and stop complaining. You are exactly the problem that needs eradication in Cameroon. Seating on the fringes at times of moral uncertainty, hiding behind keyboards and talking gibberish. At least the esteemed barrister stands for something. You Danny I am sorry to say stand for nothing. You talk about Professors so callously, I wonder whether Sasse college really passed through you because if you have failed to understand the sort of gritting, grinding and grafting needed to become one. The Professors you refer to I wonder if you have any idea what they represent nationally and not just at SOBA level. Be careful Danny, you could find yourself quarantined and isolated on the internet platform. Focus on yourself and your own achievements and let those who have made a name for themselves bask in their glory.

   Jeff Kinyang, which class of Sasse do you belong? Thanks for at least mentioning after your itchy write up that I stand for something. I spend sleepless nights on issues concerning Soba and that is what I would do as President of Soba but that will never erase my desire for the truth and righteousness. That is the virtue I took out of Sasse. Many people think that societies, especially African, that people accept wrong things and allow the society to suffer because it is a way of life(That my friend is a borrowed attitude from Francophones), I will never acquiesce to that. Jeff you have written much about nothing and I hope you tell us what you stand for if not a mere misdirected ranting Praise singer. I accept your ignorance and forgive you when you try to cover up that Honorary Presidency is given to Honorary members, SHAME! honorary membership is given to non Sobans but Honorary Presidency is for distinguished Sobans.

   Class of 74. John I have no problem with you and have no intention to engage in a verbal scuffle. I’ll leave you with this–A setback is a set-up for a come-back; lift your head high. Based on your sleepless nights, I am confident you will make a formidable president in the near future. And just so you know I am a francophone who happens to be Cameroonian like you.

   @Jeff Kinyang. Those who live in glass houses do not throw stones. Go back to what you wrote and spell check.

   I hope new President, Professor Ephraim Ngwafor, will bring some many needed renovations and a better look to Sasse College. I visited the school twice last year and was ashamed of myself. The place did not look like the Sasse College Professor Ngwafor went to. From the main gate all through to the top of the hill where the Convent is located, Sasse College looked like an abandoned place. Sasse College deserves much better: the gate, the road into the college campus, the buildings on the main campus, staff houses… Haba, Rev. Principal, does paint no longer exist? Does the word, “repair” still exist? If Sasse had been kept by others like I saw the place last year, I am not sure you would have met it! As a visitor in August 2013, I felt ashamed of the Sasse College I knew in the 1970s when I first visited the place.

   Sobans should Be on the look out for attempts by the evil French cameroun govt to destroy our
   heritage and culture through their illegal tool of bilingualism, a euphemism for “frenchification” especialy via awards
   by France. As well as French cameroun sponsored scholarsbips and French cameroun cultural confusion, they did the same thing to Ombe college and practically destroyed it with their “frenchification” agenda. Ccast kumba. Bambili, PSS etc all have fallen victims. Soba should build a University of Science and engineering in limbe of in Buea modelling it on British Universities and link up with Nigerian entrance exams
   This option must be only for southern cameroons citizens

    It will be of the best of interest for all of you socalled students of sasse to stop cackling in public and comfirming to the public that the sasse that we heard of did not give u any training.
