On the 29th of December 2024, seven members were suspended from the Manyu Women International Association (Nyene Mawn) after they withdrew £23,500 from the meeting reserves without permission.

Over the last six months, these ladies, now known in the Manyu diaspora community as the dodgy seven, have engaged on a campaign of blackmail against the President General of the association, Dr Mrs Patience Abangma who recommended their suspension.

The Dodgy Seven’s newest stunt is to hire an amateur in social media activism with a Manyu name—- Ndip Joshua Ako. Last week, this publication contested in strong terms misrepresentations by the jester and his pay mistresses. After the write-up, Ndip Joshua Ako released a series of wretched smears against the Chairman and Editor-in-chief of the Concord Group.

The purpose of this flat write up is to refocus the conversation. There are three principal points that Ndip Joshua Ako has so far failed to address or challenge from last week’s post and Cameroon Concord News is calling on him to clarify them forthwith. Firstly, he is a container-loader in Sweden with a pitifully undernourished mind. Second, he is a product of the Mondoni Oil Mill/ CDC Camp, so, although he is in possession of a Manyu name, he retains no Manyu tendencies. Third, he has been paid to orchestrate a campaign of deception and blackmail against a grandmother he knows little about.

Ndip Joshua Ako, a man with a wooden and oily face has been told by his relatives that he is a native of Sumbe, a village in Manyu Division that has produced so many champions. His family migrated and settled in a CDC camp in Fako division where Ndip Joshua Ako was presumably conceived. In CDC Camps, where life as painted by Nsanda Eba in the “The Good Foot” was rotten-down-to-earth, Joshua must have learned to smear seventy-something-year-olds.

After leaving South Africa in 2006, Ndip Joshua relocated to Berlin and was sheltered by a respectable Sumbe business woman for obvious reasons.  Unable to obtain residence in Germany, Joshua was shipped by his Sumbe sister to Sweden where he now resides. Instead of representing Sumbe with decency and decorum as laid down by the Sumbe Monarch His Royal Highness Chief Ayuk Hope, he has by some strange happenstance become a joke with a Smartphone whose sole purpose is blackmailing of his superiors.

The decision of the corrupt seven to hire Ndip Joshua, who spends all his time on Face Book counting English, has angered many within the Manyu community at home and in the diaspora. The container loader who is struggling to make ends meet in Sweden says he is searching for truth on a topic he is tragically unqualified to tackle. He claims the attack on the earned reputation of a renowned Manyu elder is in the interest of the community, not a campaign of intimidation. Ndip Joshua and his pay mistresses have crossed the reddest of the reds line and are now walking on broken bottles.

Two things may happen in this defining moment. One is that the loud sounding nothing Joshua Ndip may crack under the strain of this public relation disaster of his making and the other is that he may apologize publicly for his madness and stupidity and desist from ever attacking an elder without hard evidence.

So far, people close to him say there has been little sign of him learning from his moment of madness. However, a family member in the US, who spoke to Cameroon Concord News but sued for anonymity, puts that down to him being a slow learner. Another family member in Cameroon said, “Every family has a black sheep but we are so unfortunate to have two and he is one of them. Instead of working hard to support people in our family like many in Europe are doing, he is there making noise on social media. Our family home has been run down for many years; he has done nothing about it.”

Ndip Joshua Ako, a man who counts English as if English language is a numeracy exercise, claimed to have studied in so many universities around the world. However, research into his background shows that he is a professional student who enrolls at universities with the primary purpose of defrauding the student finance system!

According to his social media profile, he has an MSc in Political Science from the SÖDERTÖRNS HÖGSKOLA and another MSc in Environmental Science at the University of Cape Town. He also has in his academic bank a BSc (Hons) in International Development at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) in London and a Master of Arts (MA) in Communication for Development at Malmö University. Finally, he has an MSc in Political Science at Stockholm University. In one of his social media attack on my person, he stated that he has three First Degrees and two Masters Degrees!!  But with all of these, Ndip Joshua Ako still possesses the working vocabulary and brain power of a nine-year-old.

Interestingly, there is some good news here and it is that Ndip Joshua is the first Manyu man with three First Degrees, two Master Degrees and no PhD yet! Correspondingly, he is the only Manyu man who thinks football clubs in Europe are NGOs. We all should not be surprised that this intellectual eunuch will pop up over the next few years with those hopeless online PhDs that are the hallmark of Mondoni Oil Mill and CDC Camp children.

His claim that football clubs in Sweden and other European countries are non-profit organizations betrays some ignorance and portrays him as a successful and prominent academic failure or better still an academic Lilliputian!  Even the CPDM subsection president for Mondoni Oil Mill where he hails from is very much aware that football clubs are huge businesses generating profits.

No right thinking person can muster the courage to say Joshua Ndip is 100% Manyu. Some deep within his family have attempted to describe him recently and one of them was quoted as saying “in Britain, he is a Postman or Milkman baby”.

Ndip Joshua should concentrate on improving himself; he should focus on his family back home and be responsible. The problem in Nyene Mawn is real. The fact is, however long, the issues will be resolved. One fact remains, Nyene Mawn does not need Ndip Joshua Ako and his social media antics. This August, Nyene Mawn queens will gather in Paris and a greater Nyene Mawn will emerge that will reveal that Mami Patience Abangma is a woman more sinned against than sinning.

In many parts of rural Africa in the past, communities gathered every evening in the village square for elders to share wisdom through folk tales.

One of the lessons I took away from these gatherings with numerous senior citizens was that, in African culture, elders are the foundation of knowledge and wisdom, and those who respect great men and women pave the way for their own greatness.

Many in English speaking Cameroon have opined that times have changed and in 2025, values and respect are now elastic concepts. Still, the lack of respect for elders and the contempt for truth within the African structure is now alarming.

In a concerning video circulating on social media by one Joshua Ndip aka Ashu, unfounded allegations were made about a respectable Manyu citizen in the UK.

Dr Mrs Patience Abangma is a Cameroonian woman with solid personal, comprehensive private, academic and social accomplishments achieved over forty years in the United Kingdom.

Cameroon Concord News Group found the videotape unintelligent, incoherent and disturbing. Consequently, we opened an investigation into the motives of the author and those behind the criminal syndicate suspended from Nyene Mawn.

There are more than 30 Manyu women associations in the western world.

MOHWA, Manyu Women UK, Nyene Mawn, Manyu Daughters of Ireland, MOWA, Eyumema just to name a few and in all these assemblies, there are always misunderstandings and differences.

Nyene Mawn, a strong Manyu women’s group founded in 2024 by Dr Mrs Patience Abangma with hundreds of new Manyu generation ladies in Europe has recorded challenges that resulted to a kind of acrimonious relation deep within its ranks.

Breaking up a community meeting is a favourite Manyu pastime and Nyene Mawn is no different. Today, every Manyu village has a registered association in Europe begging Manyus and friends of Manyu for money.

This media house has uncovered that the six Nyene Mawn so-called chapter leaders who were suspended from the association on charges of theft and embezzlement have refused to leave the main group silently and peacefully.

The video on Face Book claims that Dr Mrs Abangma has intellectual property rights for Nyene Mawn. This claim is laughable as it is evident that the presenter presumably a container-loader somewhere in Sweden does not have a mastery of IP laws, patent procedures and the regulations governing the registration of businesses or meetings in Europe. It is obvious from the video that the said Joshua Ndip lacks the requisite intellectual aptitude to deal with the IP topic.

Our investigation found that the disgraced suspended Nyene Mawn members are desperate to keep using the Nyene Mawn brand but because Dr Patience Abangma has registered the group in the European Union already, they are facing enormous difficulties to realise their dodgy goals.

Frankly speaking, Nyene Mawn is a breakaway group from MOHWA. So, why does the breakaway gang from Nyene Mawn not leave peacefully and just create their new group?

A former MOHWA member in the city of Coventry who spoke on condition of anonymity hinted Cameroon Concord News Group that “the suspended Nyene Mawn women cannot organise a successful drinking session in a pub. They have never managed successful households and therefore cannot lead associations. They are loud jokes”  

The maxim that starting a meeting is easy and hard to maintain cannot be overemphasised here. The disgraced members of Nyene Mawn saw their vision as an escape route but they have now been caught in the pangs of a monster they themselves created!  They thought forming a new group was a cakewalk. None of them in that disgraced camp was raised up in Manyu Division!  They are products of the numerous CDC Camps and Mondoni Oil Mill who lack the basic decency of respect for elders that every Manyu child that God in his infinite image created and planted in the Manyu constituency has!

The recruitment of another CDC Manyu social media activist extremely lacking in communication finesse remains shameful, disgusting and disgraceful.

In his video, Joshua Ndip, who is currently eking out a living in Sweden and who speaks all his English in the past tense said Dr Mrs Abangma had not achieved anything in Europe after forty years.

As a Manyu son raised up in Mamfe the chief town in Manyu Division, I want to draw his attention to the fact that Mrs Abangma has five children who are all graduates from Russel Group universities in Britain, with three of them in possession of master’s degrees. While we are at it, this failure of a woman has a daughter who studied at the University of Sorbonne before being called to the Bar Council of England and Wales, and Cameroon. These academic facts mean nothing to Joshua Ndip and his pay mistresses because success to them is the loading of containers and the driving of flashy cars.

Joshua Ndip, a man whose family home in Cameroon is dilapidated and infested with vermin is now in possession of a loudspeaker and a smartphone. He needs to invest time to improve their family home before talking about development in Manyu and Africa.

How has Mrs Abangma stalled development in Manyu? Over the last few months, Eyumema has been to Mamfe and invested in boreholes, a health centre and solar panels, while MOHWA has invested in school materials for needy children. These are all commendable acts from groups interested in Manyu development and empowerment. What is stopping these fraudsters suspended by Nyene Mawn from doing the same? Instead, they are investing their energy in fighting for a name that has already been registered.

Owning a name does not guarantee followers! Joshua Ndip’s pay mistresses know that people will not follow them because they lack the skillset and integrity required for leadership. Consequently, they have resorted to blackmailing a “seventy-something-year-old woman.” The impunity of the breakaway faction in withdrawing 23,500 Euros from the association’s bank account has encouraged them to take this treacherous and illegal course of coercion. But it will not work!

We of the Concord Group are cautioning that the actions of these CDC Camp and Mondoni Oil Mill children are un-Manyu. Their calculated blackmail is bringing damage to their already battered reputation and women with brains know that they will not be trusted in the future. They must stop now!

If this abuse and blackmail of a Manyu elder continues, the lesson will not be lost. So yes, the pay mistresses behind the empty video can look forward to more doom and gloom as their moves may never bring them what they want.

Let Joshua Ndip aka Ashu go back to loading his containers and take a part-time course in the use of the English language because he found it difficult to deliver a script that was written and given to him. Finally, let the suspended so-called six presidents find a new name and leave Dr Mrs Patience Abangma alone. The mouth of an elder may stink but out of it comes wisdom and true Manyu children have respect for their elders.
