Dear brethrens,
Its a now one year our son, brother, friend, father left us, and moved on.
On behalf of our humble family, I thank immensely everyone who in any way helped soften the terrible pain hard to bear.
without your prayers, your moral support, your material and financial support we would not have come this far. I particularly thank his friends and BOBANs in Bamenda. His friends in Belgium who facilitated the complicated process of sending his body home. Staying by our side during this period was so comforting. We may never stop morning NiAbove but we believe he is happier where he is presently.
May he live forever.
Dear Nanga,
I have the conviction you will read my letter...(.you thought me the power of conviction.) Tears still run down my eye like the amazon or the Zambezi or the Mississippi. Even though I cry, I am happy for you because your rather short life was well accomplished and exemplary. You Made it.
we did not have the chance to say goodbye, nor to sing a last song in lingala or douala, or the French blues.
You did not share your last humour with me, where is the latest poem you wrote, all those proverbs in the dialect that you used to interpret...where ever you got it from; how you used to reincarnate stories from our childhood days; how we used to laugh to the point of tears and our belly muscles will pain and we could laugh no more. What happens to that script you hoped to turn into a movie.
I could speak French well by mid secondary school because of your help. Remember we used to read the Onze football Magazine in french when we could bearly understand. Later in life, you will speak to me in Flemish while I respond in German and this took all around us aback, even our sieblings.
Sometimes too you were very naughty...hahahahahaha
With my conception you created the Digitaland Muiltimedia Company in Akwa Douala. You had the vision, together we saw the big picture, we saw the future. Thank you for being an Entrepreneur and Investor. I remember you saying how far this venture will benefit the community in terms of income generation, employment, knowledge transfer, and service provision. You never mentioned anything about profits nor dividends. Today, when I watch documentaries on TV, when I watch small Movies, slots of video clip, advertisement clips, I remember all the plans we had, (the big picture - as well called it) If you were around, these dreams would have been realized, I believe.
You believed in my ability, you believed in my wisdom...your believed in me entirely...like no one else will do. You were a source of inspiration to me. sometimes I did the right things just because I did not want to fail you. I doubled my efforts sometimes to not get you disappointed, because you trusted my judgement so much. You trusted my logic and rational. You were a real brother, a real partner, a real friend.
I try hard to understand that it is what it is....things will never be the same again. what an indescribable feeling when I listen to the Smokies, the Beetles to JB Mpiana, to Koffi Olomide, To Aurlus Mabele, to Richard Bona, Dina Bell etc. I better stop bro.
You will always remain in my heart. Rest In Peace Brother, Rest in Peace.
