Tributes
Leave a tributeAyi,
I remember like it was yesterday when Cynthia Called @ 10:10pm that Saturday August 10/2013 here in Missouri and 04:10 am in Buea, and said "Mama Titi, it's over, Ayi is gone, he took his last breath 3 min ago". I screamed, and screamed and screamed. For reasons known to me and God, I decided to pray and asked GOD to receive Ayi in HIS KINGDOM. I then started making calls to those concerned and to get a ticket ASAP. I still cry, because I find it hard to believe that I have not received any calls from you just to check and chat like old pals as you did with all of your kids. But I count it all joy to know you played your part here on earth, you did almost everything you had to do except living more for us. I keep playing in my mind the wonderful moments we had. I remember a conversation we had, that day we were driving from Frederick to Greenbelt to attend the Bakweri meeting. You said" look at my daughter driving me all over America, David!!!!!!!" and I told you" Ayi there is still more to came, this is just the beginning, your next trip will be more fun , we will take more road trips". Little did I know it was my plan not God's. I also remember during one of your hospital stay in Laurel Regional Hospital in Maryland, I saw you in so much pain that I went in the bathroom and was crying, you called me by your bedside with your usual smile and voice you said" Pourquoi tu pleures? Mere, un chef de famille ne pleure pas, je ne vais pas mourrir maintenant, tout ca est passager". Your stoicism was at it's peak 24/7. No matter how much pain you were in, you never wanted anyone to feel bad. You always encourage others and tell them you will be fine. That is why even after my siblings told me the condition was not good I knew you will come over, because to me , you were my TROOPER, always bouncing back, no matter what. But I guess, this time around GOD wanted you back in heaven with the other angels. I am happy because you are not alone there, Lydie Mojoko Manyanye and all the others family members who preceded in the world beyond were happy to see you wherever Ayi is, there is joy, fun and lots of laughter. Thank you for watching over us, I am trying my best not to cry anymore because I know you don't want to see me crying all the time, but Ayi it is hard. We are all doing fine and we are all working together to keep your legacy alive. We all know what will make you happy and proud and we are doing just that. You were that father every child will like to have. My Ayi, my Mbombeeeyyy, my counselor, my HERO, My numero Uno Padre. Rest in Peace till we meet again.
Your daughter, Enanga Ikome Manyanye.
I never met you in the physical but I have met you in my dreams twice. Why you chose to visit me, you alone knows, but the message you came to give me was clear" Relax,I see what you are going through and all will be fine"
Heard so many nice things about you and it's always fun to hear those stories that made you a great dad to your kids and a great husband to your wife who still misses you like it was yesterday.
On behalf of my son, your grand child Eyole Ikome Adrien, we say Happy nine years in the beyond.
Keep shining your light on your family ♥️
I know deep in my soul, you are still around watching over us. Stop the madness, we can't, it's more than us. Ayi I miss you. Come talk to me sometime please!!!
Love you Ayi
Always

... it was a few minutes past midnight when the nurses administered your last dose of insulin for the day and you went back to sleep. Shortly after I passed out by your bedside sitting on a stool, with my hands supporting my head on the lower part of your bed. I still cannot figure out how you did it but you got up served me some rice which Mama had brought to the hospital that evening with two slices of Morocco woke me up, asked me to sit on the bed while you placed the food on the stool then asked me to eat. Embarrassed at the fact that I was meant to be looking after you and not the other way round with tears in my eyes, I said "Ayi I'm not hungry". I sensed you were getting upset so before you said another word I picked up the plate and started eating while crying. You wiped my tears and promised me you will be fine. I believed you... because you were a fighter! Only for things to go completely south few days later. Ahhhhh death!!! That was who you were... loving, giving... genuine always looking out for us.
We went on to have a conversation that I hold very dear (I hope I am doing what you asked)... I wish you were here Mbombe!
There are so many memories I wish we created together. I'm so grateful to God for your time here on earth but I wish you could stay a little longer... to watch me grow.... to enjoy the fruits of your labour!
You worked extremely hard to provide for Mama and us all. You should have been here to share in the Joy's of our successes.
Ayi so much is going on... please lead us dear Father... you must be feeling terrible over all the chaos. Worry not Ayi, the majority of us are still holding on to values you instilled in us your whole life. We've got Mama... we've got each other.
Sometimes I sit and wonder what your thoughts are of me... I'm I meeting your expectations? I'm I going the direction you would have wanted? I'm I making you proud Ayi?... then I burst out crying or sometimes laughing depending on the memory of you that shines at that particular moment. Today I called your name out loud and it broke my heart into a million pieces because I felt cheated! You ought to have been here so you can also call me every day and ask how my day went like you did with my older siblings. You ought to have been here so I can call you for us to joke about the difficulties of life. Still, I'm grateful i have beautiful memories to hold on to. I'll never stop thinking of you and talking about your time here on earth. Keep resting Ayi. I love you so much ❤
Love you for ever. Happy birthday my father, my angel. Rest in peace
Not a day goes by without me thinking about you and how things would have been so different if you were still here. Alot has changed since you left us... you should still be here. We still need you Ayi...I still need you! But i know you would not trade your place in heaven for anything!
Thank you Ayi for never failing to come through when we need you. I love you so much and happy 75th in Heaven! Continue to watch over Mama and all of us.
As the songwritter would put it “Its been a long day without you my friend, and I’ll tell you all about it when i see you again. We’ve come a long way from where we began, and I’ll tell you all about it when i see you again”.
Amen
Mbombeyyyy, reponds moi
Your daughter Nganga oohhh.

Words from your little boy
Sleeping For Too Long
Still sleeping? For how long again?
Not tired of sleeping? Even after 5 years?
Very few or from you. So you find pleasure sleeping? Sleep father. You need(ed) it. Now you can rest for there is no pain where you are. No injection, no insulin, no illness and I guess no trouble.
Your life was a difficult one marked by betrayals from many.
How did your daughter, our sister (ma Lydie) receive you? And how did you receive your sister, our aunty (mama Enanga Ikome)?
What about mola James Esembe, mola Ngalle Elive, mola Tobias Esuka, mola Peter Mandalo, Pa Ngange Moliki, Mbamba Okwaongo and the list goes on and on (...)
I hope all of you must have received your cousine Aunty Rose Enanga Njie aka Ohoho who was buried today August 11, 2018?
Dear father, sleep well till we meet again.
