Uchiba Nelson calls on Paul Nilong to understand that: Ambazonians are not liberated by complaints, but by courage. Not by slander, but by sacrifice.

Mr. Paul Nillong,
At your age and with your experience, one would expect you to focus on building something meaningful—not tearing down the efforts of others. If you have a vision for Ambazonia, now is the time to lead by example. Create. Build. Inspire. But don’t sit on the sidelines throwing stones at those who are sacrificing daily for our people.
Let’s be clear: The Ambazonian struggle does not belong to President Sako. It belongs to all Ambazonians who believe in the right to self-determination and are willing to work for it. So instead of demanding accountability as though you were elected auditor-in-chief, we ask: What exactly have you built?
When the Ambazonian people were mobilizing for last October 1st, you were nowhere to be found. You were aligned with disgruntled coup plotters, seeking relevance in chaos. You did not lead. You did not support. You criticized.
You ask why President Sako’s name is mentioned often. Let’s ask you: Do leaders disappear from the public conversation just because someone disagrees with them? In the U.S., Trump and Biden are mentioned daily. In Germany, where you live, Angela Merkel remains a constant reference in political discussions. Is it only in Ambazonia that leadership must be erased to please critics?
If you truly believe you can do better, then build your own government. No one is stopping you. Others before you tried—Chris Anu, Ayuk Tabe, and Mariantha. Instead of delivering results, they left confusion. You say you seek order, yet align yourself with disorder. That contradiction says more about your motives than your words ever could.
Let’s address the issue of finances.
You speak of accountability, yet the funds raised for “Big Firewood” remain unaccounted for. What happened to the money collected from cocoa farmers in Meme? What about the resources you and your allies—Erico Akaba, Nzalle Clovis, Nanchop, and Prince J Carr—controlled? If you cannot account for your own stewardship, what moral ground do you have to question others?
President Sako was elected at a time when the movement was in disarray. Sissiku Ayuk Tabe, from behind bars, tried to govern without transparency. The treasury left under his watch was depleted and marked by scandal. It was in that context that Dr. Sako stepped in—not as a usurper, but as a stabilizing force.
You’ve offered no alternative but noise. No solutions but sabotage. No leadership but lectures.
If you are genuinely concerned about the direction of the struggle, then start organizing. Plan a march. Mobilize resources. Educate the people. Lead by example. But don’t expect others to carry the load while you contribute nothing but cynicism.
And let’s not forget your selective silence: You never criticized Chris Anu for embezzling $135,000 from ABC. Why? Because you were part of that circle. Now, you target those who are still working while you sit back, bitter and bittering others.
Mr. Nillong, we are not obliged to explain ourselves to spectators. History will judge us all—not by how loud we shouted from the sidelines, but by what we built.
If hearing the name “Sako” gives you sleepless nights, perhaps it’s time to build your own house where his name is banned. But until then, understand this: Ambazonians are not liberated by complaints, but by courage. Not by slander, but by sacrifice.
