After attending the premiere of the highly hyped Cameroonian movie “Behind Gates” last evening at Canal Olympia Douala, I think Kung Quintus should make an open apology to the veteran Nigeria actor Zack Orji after seizing the mic from the veteran actor to emphasize that the Nigerian filmmakers are not doing Cameroon a favor but rather are mutually collaborating.

The much-talked-about movie premier has come and passed like a monsoon wind with nothing left to talk about a day after its premiere on the big screen.
I would have preferably stayed back home and watched the Big Brother Naija level-up auditions but as a patriotic Cameroonian, I worked on operation 80-20 to my disappointment.
Coming at a time when there is a great call for support for our home content I had expected the atmosphere at Canal Olympia to be intense but behold the reverse was true.

What do you expect of a movie premier where a venerated actor like Ramsey Nouah has to show up, sit and wait for Cameroon ‘stars’ like Zita Minaj or ‘Copees’?

It was a show of unprofessionalism from the organizers to the actors, I wonder about the impression Ramsey Noah takes with him back home. It is almost impossible to find such a blunder in Nollywood because there is a high sense of professionalism/ competition among various stakeholders.

Truth be told Cameroon is decades behind Nigeria be it in arts and entertainment, politics, religion, or technology, and it would be in our interest to bury our pride and solicit their expertise for our own growth.

We saw the recent release of Stanley Enow’s parapariparo video. A song that had been highly criticized even before its release, but after a Nigerian radio host hyped the said song, it got thousands of views and positive comments from Cameroonians.
We are our own problem.

Imagine 24 hours after a movie premiere and you are unable to find a single piece of information about the event on the production company’s social media handles, not even a red carpet moment. That alone speaks volumes, sure even though they had to prepare for Sunday service and forget about the bad night.

The image and sound quality of the movie itself did not live up to the hype compared to what we have become used to witnessing in other recent movie premiers like The Fisherman’s Diary, Broken, Saving Mbango, etc.

The common phenomenon of ‘Blackman time’ is more of culture among Cameroonians and was put to full view yesterday as many individuals only showed up after the film was already being aired. It should be noted that Canal Olympia is a multi-purpose arts complex and has a program schedule of shows daily.

The time allocated for ‘Behind Gates’ elapsed and it was embarrassing to find the audience being pushed out.

Self-proclaimed prophet Orock Henry Betang has been making rounds in the Cameroon social media space in recent days.

The Dubai-based prophet who is notorious for prophesying on the lives of artists comes under my scrutiny after his recent prophecy on the life of Cameroon footballer Njie Clinton.

As a Christian well aware of the biblical quote in psalms 105:15 ‘touch not my anointed, do my prophet no harm’ but you see this particular prophet, I have to touch him.

It is not a new phenomenon since the turn of the century to see men of God focus on publicizing their Chastain works on mass media for improved following and more customers.

More customers I call it because I see more of a business-making venture than ministering for Christ.

When we look at the bible we realize Jesus after conducting miracles always humble and emphasized the need to maintain silence but today it is the reverse with our self-proclaimed prophets and apostles.

They market everything marketable under the name of the church, to the point of advertising miracles. Even God didn’t see this coming.

However, the purpose of this write-up is not to distinguish fake from real men of God, I just have a little pre-occupation with the way prophet Orock Henry goes about his prophetic works in a manner that shocks even other false prophets.

My question is why do most of your prophecies not only target stars but stars that are trending on social media at a particular point in time.

You did prophesy about Samuel Eto’o having an accident, today it’s Njie Clinton you saw about to die. You taking advantage of a young man going through turbulence in his professional career should be considered ‘spiritual blackmail’ and ought to be arrested.

Are you the modern-day angel of the Passover? Cos you seem to be specialized only in visioning death.

You even have the audacity to screenshot your conversation with Njie Clinton receiving your message, who are you trying to impress, God or man?

The bible is the book of Matthew 6:2 reads ‘so when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others’ that’s exactly what you and other new age prophets strive for, a show of pride achieving fame and fortune using the name of Jesus Christ, but judgment awaits you all.

Mathew 7:15 warns ‘beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. Verse 16 adds ‘you will know them by their fruits and dear prophet your fruits are sour to the tongue.  

Uncover the questionable methods of Prophet Orock Henry as he delivers prophecies to celebs for personal gain. Be warned of false prophets.
