Historical heritage prawns fitting the national logo.

No one can abscond (except otherwise shallow or foggy minded) for the fact that a
giant prawn embracing a less giant Cameroon map should be use as the national logo or
symbol of this country, if we are totally bent to bring the trouble Vessel back to course. I
hope this will catapults coveting smiles on the dusty-lips of our founding fathers, since it
traces the originality of our beloved nation (not leaving astray, our shameful colonial lineage)
even though it has been belated for years, but the prawns or shrimps are still
extraordinarily thirsty to become the national logo of our beloved fatherland Cameroon
mailed to us by their Portuguese name Rio Dos Cameros ( being a starter of our history) the
prawns feel that this is the only way they can be kick out of their relegation zone as the
endanger species and to bring back forever the colossal bliss the Portuguese first witnessed
when they pilfer a glance on our meandering rivers to build an every growing spirit of vast
jingoism (patriotism) and national patrimony among our astute youths and leaders, for no
nation in the world can flourish in the expense of great love for patriotism and splendor. ©

What a dreadful story to learn of or for tourists to learn that Cameroonians dine
deliberately on what was destine to be their national symbol! We must fervently kick prawns
out of our kitchens, ports, tables, plates and diets for a boom in patriotism. It maybe
Cameroonians are unpatriotic because they dine on prawns. The Bald Eagle for instance, as a
ferocious creature is the US national logo, though I badly criticize it in my book title Genius
and pundits pet name Bolony but I do think Americans do not have them on their diet as a
rule, even on intensive economic down train the will prefer to have inserts on their table and
never their Bald Eagle that is why they are spoilt-patriots (exceptionally patriotic), this is just
a witty-guest. © Copyright 14/02/2010 Taku Celestin Julius
I strongly believe a prawn is an uncontestable and irreversible national logo for this
nation Cameroon since it is on the lips of every lad, lass, elder, leader, tourist and even our
posterity that, this nation got her name from a Portuguese words which mean river of
prawns, so together lets get prawns our as only begotten logo or national symbol as a reward
to the energy of our falling patriots, as well as a compass for our straying youths and
posterity, especially it antennal, in my opinion any Cameroonian who dine on prawns or
crawfish is a corrupt, embezzler or fraudulent in all endeavors.
No matter the economic up spiral of these little creatures to our citizens, a prawn as
our national logo is the lone symbol that will ride this nation out of her lengthy bumpy route
history. I hope you will mere spare my neck! The sharp of shrimps is like the replica of
Cameroon map, the Telson is the symbol of defense without being offensive, you can hide a
people from their current history but you can’t hide a generation (s) and posterity from their
original history.
Correct me if I am totally wrong , in time of celebrating, the happy euphoria of being
independence , we must scorn a little while about the happiness to capture some crumbs of
our short comings, for instance the question in ever one mind is, are we not independence
enough to create our own currency call CEMAC .
 We must politely and smoothly ask ourselves if our founding fathers fought so hard
only to achieve our alcoholic independence or mental and technological independence. If
nation building is measure by the amount of alcoholic drinks we swallow everyday then the
shanty cities of our nation will be like New York and Tokyo.
The consolidation of our independence and reunification will hit the highest mark of a
flourishing nation, only when the think-tank of this nation are nerves enough to stand the test
of time, with negligible errors only.

Artistic painting of a giant prawn embracing a less giant Cameroon map.

→Naturally a prawn have two part the Head and the Abdomen call it that way,
painting the English and French speaking folks electroplated by great spirit of bilingualism
tapping out the hidden potential of using the two world spread languages to sell our vast
cultural biodiversity, this make Cameroon appear in the first choice of tourists when their dice
fall in Africa.
→To picture a giant prawn embracing a less giant Cameroon map is an indicator of
the roots of the nation and inside the map bubble the unity palace, the highest office of the
land which is the seat of the executive, which run the day-today enforcement of the laws of
the land to enhance peace and a happy euphoria through out the land, the lion in front of the
unity palace fountain is an inspiration for all Cameroonian to be bearer of the lion’s spirit in
other to protect and preserve nation patrimony jealously, the lion being the king of the beast
is also a marketing ambassador in the logo selling the vast animal diversity of the country and
you name the rest.
→You will also see the trees inside the map stand as artistic representation of the
equatorial rain forest which is baptized as the second lungs of our only world and also
picturing the vast and rich forest wealth of the nation.
→The towering mount Cameroon pride the nation as the first altitude of the nation and
second in the continent melting its biodiversities and it fertile soil to the bliss of every curious
eyes and the race of hope always bring Cameroonians peacefully nearer to one another as
offspring of one womb, as well as exporting the image of the country to the farer distance of
the world. © Copyright 14/02/2010 Taku Celestin Julius

→The grazing cattle in side the map tell ever strangers about the beautiful grass-fields
of Adamanwa Plateau and the marketing attraction from within and outside the nation.
→A woman with a baby porch (trapped) on her back pounding millets or with a
calabash on her head is painting the vast talent of women mending nation building and also
the arid region portion of Cameroon.

Water catchments, which boom there tourism sector and also control global warming.
→ The boat paint the port city of Cameroon which pave the way colonial penetration
and it influents in the economic growth and the development of the sub-region.

→ The school going kids paint the pygmies in the eastern region fast gaining mental
power so as to be endorse as the entire great minds of the nation.
The mother with a baby trapped on her back paint a growing passion for children
nurturing in Cameroon.
→ the grass home represent what the colonial master made as home for rudimentary
Cameroonians.
→We can print smaller logos to be pin in wears, caps, T-shirts, mufflers and others
forms to be sole at reasonable price to citizens so as to raise funds for the building of national
monuments for those who fought for our independence or unification being civilians or those
in uniforms and our youths will not only adore the liberty status, Paris tower welcome to
Japan and British monuments on screens but will be given the chance to see theirs to emulate
the enterprising sprits of our fallen and living heroes . © Copyright 14
→ The lion also paint the inevitable might of our dearest indomitable lion’s
involvement in selling even far away beyond our bounders the image of Cameroon.
→ In the Moungo Bridge you will see an artistic painting of two revolutionarist
bothers hugging themselves with each of them exchanging a stick of rose flower on every on
back, in a brotherly and fraternized nature with a colonial master wish them a wonderful
peace and prosperity in all the new nation undertakings.

famous reunification was embalm
→ 50 twinkle little bulbs bearing the colors of national flags and painting 50th
BIRTHDAY of our nation.

Future amendments or a step too far.

→This is open to objective criticisms, I hope unbiased criticism from great marketers maybe
shower on, that, we have to instead promote prawns or shrimps farming (PRAFAR) in all the
ten regions of this nation which will boost up our economic and create wide spread
employment for our jobless youths and maybe Cameroon will hit a growing reputation for
fame, by being the first nation on the face of the earth to successfully practice the cultivation
of spawns. Celebrating our independence that has come of age or amalgamation without
an astute review of the future is like a chimpanzee wining a Nobel Prize in scientific
research.
→ Artificial Hatcheries for Prawns (A.H.P should also be planted in all the regions of
this nation to fuel the large and small scale prawns farmers as well as a Cameroon prawns
farmers association (CAMPRAFA) should be put in place to encourage research and to jack
up production, since prawns are a top source of protein to banish kwashiorkor and poverty
forever.
→ I hope more research will be carry on to know more useful meaning of the various
parts of prawns, it adaptations, it rule for the protection of our ecosystem, it parental care,
with a stirring vision to make Cameroon a wonderful tourists destination and to verbalize an
ever increasing points to support prawns as the original logo of Cameroon.
I some times feel that I have to apologize for the dose of my radical ingenuity if not I
won’t go free but most of the time I blame that on my endanger education.

One day a sinking ship will become the world’s latest submarine.

Short listed logo could be the Golden Eagle flying with the nation flag and a hive
euphoria folks coveting is also okay, Gallia Fog, Ostrich, and not talks of the bird found
only the forest in NW REGION AND NO OTHER PLACE IN THE WORLD COULD BE
USE.

Author’s note
When this idea came to my mind it just wouldn’t go away…
Life without profit is evil and profit without hard work is devilish.
