description This contribution is an analysis of President Paul Biya's speeches and technodiscourses on security issues in Africa in general and Cameroon in particular. The aim of this article is to evaluate the linguistic behaviour of the Cameroonian Head of State and to assess the receptivity of his speeches in relation to the security crisis prevailing in Africa, particularly in the Lake Chad Basin. Exploitation of technodiscursive interactions revealed that the comments (discursive augmentation) of Internet users in response to Paul Biya's posts do not testify to the performativity or good reception of his interventions. Audiences question his image of credibility by criticising his silence, inaction and absence from the bedside of the victims of Boko Haram's atrocities. On digital social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, this inadhesion is materialised by language that reflects rudeness and breaks down the vertical relationship that supposedly exists between the Head of State and his people.
