Je crois que j'ai manqué une bonne occasion de me taire!
J'ai finalement trouvé la bibliographie complète de Francis!
Je retire donc ce que je viens d'envoyer (si c'est possible).
Toutes mes félicitations encore une fois.

Professor Francis B.Nyamnjoh is truly a prolific writer. In the space of no time, he has demonstrated that the argument that Cameroonians do not read (which remains to be proven scientifically) is no credible excuse for not writing. Afterall, we are not living in a world made up only of Cameroonians.
"Publish or Perish" or "Publish and Perish" if you like, I strongly think that if other Cameroonian (African) scholars replicate the Nyamnjoh example the the world would soon know the truth and come to terms with "the Africa they never talk about".
People who live and work in Cameroon, and I am one of them, know that there is so much to write about but the writers are few. Maybe the untiring Prof. Nyamnjoh will one day tell us why Cameroonian "intellectuals" are seeminglg satisfied with their situations that they cannot generate any "critical scholarship". Even appologists of the status quo have gone to sleep.
My fear is that Prof. Nyamnjoh instead of being the "tallest tree in the Forest" may end up being the "only tree in the Savannah". It is not for me to judge whether Bum, Boyo or the Bamenda Grassfields constitute the "forest" or the "savannah".
Francis B. Nyamnjoh is not only a writer, he is also a lecturer, teacher and professor. Logically one would expect some of his students to follow in his footsteps. That is what teaching and mentoring are all about.
Therefore professor, how many of your students, either from the International Institute of Youth and Sports in Yaounde, the University of Buea, Botswana, and "all else" can you proudly look back and say "I trained those guys"?
I wish you the greatest success in all your endeavours!
Sincerely,
Snowsel Ano-Ebie

Dr. Francis B. Nyamnjoh is the "MAN". I have had the opportunity of reading some of his works and it is just amazing the way he works the critic, packed with humor, but still conveying a message. What i really like best is the term he has formulated for those of us living in the diaspora "ZOMBIES". Africa and Cameroon in particular should be glad to have you.

Professor Francis B.Nyamnjoh, Dr Tatamentan once said,"...you can not shine sheet". Most propably he meant sheet is sheet and nothing but sheet. It is therefore incombent upon us (Cameroonians)to situate or deposit sheet where it is due. This is exactly what you have done all these years in your writings.Leslie Fieger - author of the Delfin Knowledge System, once said"Any fool can run towards the light.It takes a master with courage to turn and face the darkness and shine his own light there."
Hopefully your disciples in the nursery would follow suit.

Dr. Francis B. Nyamnjoh, Associate Professor, has confirmed by his scientific exuberance and lucidity of argument that it takes only hard work AND HARD WORK ALONE!, to stand on the line OF THE SO FEW who can at dawn, midday, or dusk, be considered as true, if not "Genuine Intellectuals". Be it in his scholarly works or in his penetrating and profound creative pieces, it is now an indisputable fact that Professor Francis Nyamnjoh will for a very long time remain an authority, a major voice, as far as topicality and relevance in contemporary socio-political issues in Cameroon and Africa are concerned.

Dr. Francis B. Nyamnjoh is a savvy academician and one of the few who critically engages his arguments and gives the reader new ways of appraising the complexities of society. I much enjoyed his work with Thomas P. on Intellectual Property Challenges in Africa: Indigenous Knowledge Systems and the Fate of Connected World. This essay changed the way I reasoned to IK systems and the global knowledge economy. I am enthralled by his intellectual authority, one worth emulating. "Words - so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them". ~ Nathaniel Hawthorne
