Senior staff uses a dire situation for the career advancement

But Nyolo replied: “look, no body will accept that. On the contrary, it will make the world to understand what they have been rooting for and it might give them a boost that, they have personally denied themselves for close to 15 years now. Look here! Your idea, however brilliant it seems, has been rejected and please allow the SCNC to keep on shooting their own legs and you and your colleagues should fetch me something else the president could present to the US government. It is the survival of this regime that is now at stake”. Bella Mbong and Nyolo knew that, this was the opportune time to show their utility to the president of the republic; hence he went back into his office and met his colleagues who were monitoring international and world news. And they decided to tune to the 4 PM Hausa News on Voice of Nigeria (VON) and they were shocked to hear the newscaster announced that: Muslim dignitaries in the town of Makari in Northern Cameroon have after a meeting with the state representative of the locality, agreed to install Islamic rule in the town and in another town called Couseri.

The government’s news monitors took the recorded tape immediately to the desk of their service head that was no other person than Mr Bella Mbong and asked him to listen to the news reported by Voice of Nigeria. Mr Mbong listened to the tape quietly and to the consternation of the staff of monitoring service of the presidency of the Republic, their service head showed no signs of particular excitement or nervousness. Bong told them: “thank you for a job well done”. And he asked them to leave his office with an equanimity that shocked his subordinates. And as they left, Mbong closed his doors and went down on his knees and prayed to God. He said: “father God, thank you very much for this golden opportunity that, you have offered me to use and win a promotion in my career. I know you are a God who makes impossibilities because possible and thank you for giving the Muslims of the north of Cameroon, the courage to frighten this wicked and corrupt government that, I am working for”. “In the name of your son Jesus Christ, I hope that, the news from the Hausa service of Voice of Nigeria is correct. If it is not, we are going to make it look correct through your son Jesus Christ, Amen!” While he was praying, his subordinates who had left his office were walking and discussing the reaction of their service head on the flights of stairs leading to their office situated on their third floor underground the office of the presidency of the Republic.
