REMEMBERING THOSE WHO HAVE GONE ON AHEAD ...
REST IN PEACE!!!
"My cousin, a University of Buea student whose source of income was to cook and sell food in the evenings, what his mom was doing before she passed on.
LUCAS was a student at UB. Even with his cuteness, he would cook and sell food to survive. He never bothered anyone for his livelihood.
He would make sure he attended his Wana Wa Wonja practice sessions, go to functions like the one that has cost his life. He would tell you that SINGING was the best way of life. He blew that whistle with style."
*Remembered by IYA EWUNE, Houston Texas
LUCAS NJIKI NGASSA
"I have lost someone great. His name, Esuka Freddy. Esuka Freddy and I always talked about using our rich volcanic soil to escape from poverty. We always talked about our farms and our plan was to encourage our brothers and sisters to also get engaged in the business weather employed or not. We wanted them to know that farming is not fro poor and miserable people. It was for those are intelligent.Today, I have lost someone who shared my vision. It may take time to find another one like you within our community. God Bless your soul. RIP. That is the best I can do for you now. Nothing more than that bro. you are gone and no amount of wishes will bring you back. What provokes me is that it was a very painful death you went through in today's ghastly road accident at Mile 29."

Ma Pam (as she was fondly called by loved ones) received her undergraduate degree from the Howard University and a Master's degree from the University of Detroit Mercy. Following her educational career, Ma Pam went to work in various industries from accounting to event planning then eventually becoming an Independent Consultant for Mary Kay Cosmetics. She was a devoted Christian and faithfully attended Eastside Baptist Church in Marietta, GA. She did numerous mission projects with her church and was always giving to those in need. Her beauty was indescribable and her zest for life was amazingly infectious; never meeting a stranger and always the life of the party. Ma Pam was a wonderful daughter, mother, sister, and friend; she will certainly be missed by all who knew and loved her.
Ma Pam is preceded in death by her father, Mr. Daniel Nangah.
She is survived by her mother, Monica Neba; two beautiful children, Mfawa Eno-Williams and Bonomer Djoumessi; a grand-nephew, Titan; a host of brothers and sisters, one of whom is SAKERETTE AMALIA NANGAH; nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends.

PLEASE CLICK ON IMAGE TO VIEW TRIBUTE ALBUM
On Sunday, December 10 2017, many of us woke up to, or were actually awakened by the incredibly SAD news that MUEMA MEOMBO, more fondly and popularly known by his "M.M." initials, had passed away!
As the initial SHOCK & CONSTERNATION receded, the SADNESS and GRIEF grew exponentially, extending well beyond his own family and friends to the MANY fans - within and without Cameroon, that he had amassed over the years he had spent working as a Radio Journalist in Yaounde and in Buea particularly.
This modest post which comes a day after he was laid to rest in Limbe, is meant to acknowledge, recognize and pay tribute to him for his positive contribution to our history.
It is made up of Pictures from SakerPride archives and the net, but, predominantly, from a collection put together by Mola Gervase Ndoko.
Our deepest and sincerest condolences to his Family - which includes his SAKERETTE Daughter, Class of 2000's EKENI NGOWO MEOMBO and SAKERETTE cousins, Maggie Williams (Class of '79) and Lilian Ndoke Angu and to all left behind to mourn his departure.
May his soul rest in peace!

He was also the Uncle of SAKERETTES Mrs. Margaret Tendo Besong, (1967), and Dr. Lilian Tendo Wambua, (1970). (See Photo above right)
The following facts about his career and service, (in a nutshell), do explain why referring to him as an "ICON" is very much in order:
- Attended Government Primary School Bamenda, Up Station.

- Graduated from the University of Uganda with a Diploma in Economics and Commerce.
- Was part of the Delegation sent by then President Ahmadou Ahidjo to Geneva to study.
- Worked for the CDC where he became an activist and visible spokes person who fought for higher wages and better living conditions. (He was better known, during this phase of his life as, "The Man Z A Fonjong")
> 1957 - 1963: Secretary of Workers Union
> 1963 - 1970: General Manager of Workers Union
- Business Man, Owner of "Produce Professor" which he started after his 1970 move to KUMBA, exporting Cocoa and Coffee.
- Served as Deputy Mayor for almost 20 years in Kumba before he retired.
- Founder, in the 1990s, of a Farmers Credit Union, which, from its humble beginnings in his BUEA ROAD premises, has now grown into a reputable Credit Union (KUMBA CREDIT UNION), that serves an impressive number.
- One of the Founding fathers of MECUDA in Victoria, (now Limbe), and its very first Secretary.
- President of MECUDA in Kumba for 6 years.
- Held several Leadership positions in the Catholic Men Association in Kumba Mbeng Parish.
Needless to say, the diligent husband, dad, grand dad, great grand dad, uncle brother and servant of God that he also was will definitely be greatly missed.
Our condolences to our bereaved sisters and to the entire FONJONG Family. May his soul rest in peace.

I never got the opportunity to meet him in person while he lived.
In fact, I knew very little about him, other than the fact that this DAD of our CLASS OF 1981 CARAT, LOUISE, (Daughter of Dr. STELLA NUNGA), was an "ARMY MAN" and a SOBAN.
Sadly, it has taken a look at his CAREER PROFILE in his FUNERAL BOOKLET/KEEPSAKE for me to realize that he was a very accomplished and highly ranked CAMEROON, FRANCE and U.S.-trained NAVY OFFICER!
Not just anyone makes it INTO and THROUGH that ECOLE MILITAIRE INTERARMEES (EMIA), nor could it possibly be a walk in the park to accumulate a ton of certifications in things as uncommon as NAVY DIVING and AMPHIBIOUS WARFARE!
(Didn't even know there was a U.S. NAVAL WAR COLLEGE in NEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND to start with!!
I cannot join my CLASS OF 1981 CLASSMATES who are right now lending the Bereaved Family what moral support they can as their DAD, UNCLE, BROTHER, etc. is laid to rest, but I can sure take a minute to SALUTE this worthy departed officer, albeit POSTHUMOUSLY.
REST IN PEACE, MON COLONEL!
