"The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness lies on those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, those who have tried forlornly they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. TOGETHER WITH HAPPINESS LET US LIBERATE THE SOUTHERN CAMEROONS".
