Where Will You Spend Eternity? Freedom Fighter - Lambo Sandjo Pierre Roger Better known as Lapiro de Mbanga, was a Cameroonian singer who is noted for his 1985 recording of “Pas argent no love” and for being imprisoned in 2008 after criticizing Cameroon president Paul Biya in the song “Constitution constipée” (“Constipated Constitution”). While in prison between 2008 and 2011 after a politically ambiguous drama got him involved, Lapiro still held steadfast to his convictions – cleansing his society of vices that caused untold social problems to the people. Upon leaving prison, he quickly won international sympathy which led to his movement, with his family to the United States of America where he spent his last two years. The social critic painted the ugly picture of his society, but at every instance ensuring he stood firm for the masses. In a talking-style genre which fast became his musical identity, the Cameroonian music legend who originates from Mbanga in Moungo Division in the Littoral region of Cameroon vociferously challenged oppressors in favour of the voiceless.(TipTop Stars & Wikipedia) “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:” Heb.9:27
