Some people considered it blasphemous when I pointed out that Paul Biya is Cameroon's God. They would not be so quick to pass judgment if they considered that some Cameroonians are currently begging Paul Biya to continue as president of the country. Paul Biya is now 78 years old and he has been president for about twenty-nine years. During this period he has rigged elections and doctored the constitution to remain in power. Some Cameroonians are now concerned that with the current uprising in North Africa, which have led to the fall of Ben Ali and Hosni Mubarak, Biya may also be forced to leave power in Cameroon. That would be devastating, given that there is no one else who is good enough to replace him. Considering that Paul Biya is the only person who can be president of Cameroon, some intelligent Cameroonians took to the streets to preempt any call for his ouster. They are begging Biya to continue as president because without him there will be no future for the country. Just see how much economic development has happened in Cameroon since Paul Biya came to power. Unemployment is now at over 40 percent and the life expectancy has fallen. Most Cameroonians are now living their dream lives. Without Paul Biya all of this will go to waste. The only fear now is that he may die one day, if that is at all possible. So these wise Cameroonians want to make sure he stays.
