PROPHECY, POLITICS, AND THE AMBAZONIAN QUESTION (PART II) : Orock Betang, Political Predictions, the need for a Prophecy ledger and the Accountability Question Ambazonians Must Ask

No prophet should be permitted to turn the uncertainty of a suffering people into unquestioned authority. Ask questions. Preserve the videos. Record the dates. Compare predictions with events. Demand explanations. And maintain the ledger. Because if prophecy wishes to participate in politics, prophecy must also accept political accountability.

QUEBEC VOTED FOR INDEPENDENCE AS AN OPTION, WHY WAS SOUTHERN CAMEROONS DENIED THAT CHOICE? What Canada’s democratic treatment of separatism reveals about the unresolved question of Southern Cameroons (Ambazonia)
