YOU ARE ONE OF THE SOURCES OF MY SUCCESS |
January 14, 2015 |
Tholo or Gabon , that is what I often call you . You are one of the sources of my success in life after GOD. You help me to make one of my first success in life by helping me to get a visa to Europe and then to America and some other countries. My coming to America with my family was a very big attribute of yours; you were there and you had always been there, you had a good heart and that was a gift nobody could ever have taken from you. You have always been a true friend that me and my family respected . We are glad u left somebody behind which we shall remember you through her( Carole). You left behind a lady you truly loved who had been by your side at the most painful moment of your life, especially now .you were a legend and you remain a legend , by helping many families who can now boast of a good living and good health because of what you did, mostly to the youths, you have helped people in many ways that words can't explain . Adieu Gabon.

TRIBUTE TO A HERO II, THOLO
Tholo, as we fondly called you, you are my true friend
Gabonais, as we fondly called you, you are my confidante
Careca, as we fondly called you, you are my brother indeed
You always call me Ndem. Tell Ndem this or tell Ndem that...
You are, and will always be, my personal person
We understood each other like no one else
We laughed together in good times and bad times
We traveled extensively together all over
You always went for the best and finest
You made sure I enjoyed same whenever and wherever
Your generosity was limitless
You gave all to help all who came your way
When I was penniless you always came through in big way
"Ndem how far? Di man take de wan hold ya skin dey!"
In my tragedies, you stood by me shoulder to shoulder
We did many many things together
We went through thick and thin together
You were never down, always optimistic, even when in trouble
"Ndem, forget, na small!"
We had disagreements, but always made up in laughter
Tholo too talk
Tholo de expect too much from people
Tholo this...Tholo that...
Who is perfect anyway? We are all the same
Only Christ Jesus is perfect
You looked out for my family in my absence like they were yours
You visited me in my dream recently
And I asked "Di man, nobi dem say you don die"
In your normal parlance you responded "na wetti noh de man, die watti?"
We hugged each other, we hung out and we 'freed' as usual
The joy on your face tells me you are truly reborn
You have attained your salvation and you are in heaven
ADIEU MA BRODA

GO YE WELL UNCLE |
January 13, 2015 |
We say that the hour of death cannot be forecast, but when we say this we imagine that hour as placed in an obscure and distant future. It never occurs to us that it has any connection with the day already begun or that death could arrive in the early hours of 12/ 22/ 2014, that morning which was so certain and which has every hour filled in advance. He was a free-spirit who lived in the present, on his own terms. He was very optimistic.
My mother and many called you my Boss. From my growing up as a little boy to an adult many in Kumba and around the world knew I was the last child of the Fomanka family; reason being you never introduce me as your nephew but your ‘Small Man” that’s why even today many still don’t know I was your nephew. Hundreds of us are able to live a better life and look after our families back home because you made it happen and for that we say THANK YOU AGAIN. It’s a very big shock you gave me and the entire family but we say in every situation we give thanks to God.
Go ye well uncle and extend greetings to all the faithful departed in the family.

Dear Tholo, Gabonaise, Always calling me Bosco Pac Fatima. Who will call me that name again. Uncle, your sudden departure has created a vacuum in my heart. It is hard to believe that you are no more. Fare thee well, Gabonaise. We love you, but God loves you more. Nkie Gwendoline Nyambi

ADIEU UNCLE |

He is gone! yes gone!.When you are joyful, when you say yes to life and project positivity all around you, you become a sun in the center of every constellation and people will want to be near you.Dark, dull and gloomy faces are all testimonials to how soon and easily that sun departed us. Gone! yes he is gone but the mark he left in my heart is still as potent as the scent of the best of roses. Adieu Uncle

BUT NOW SEE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE, YOU HAVE LEFT US ALL ALONE IN THIS COLD AND WICKED WORLD. I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT THIS EULOGY I AM WRITING IS FOR YOU. I AM GOING TO SAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH MY FATHER AND MY MENTOR, CAUSE EVERY THING GOOD IS WHAT YOU HAVE ALWAYS WANTED FOR ME LIKE THIS ONE: I REMEMBER "EPALLE, YOU AND BEN SIMO WUNA TALK FOR THAT WUNA MAN BECAUSE I DON ASK SAY MAKE I SEND HE FOR CHINA E DON REFUSE, E DENY FOR GO RUSSIA AND NOW E DI DENY FOR GO THAILAND ". THIS IS WHAT YOU TOLD MY FRIENDS NGASSA ULRICH AND ALEMJIE ELVIS. I AM JUST WRITING BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO SAY. I PRAY GOD GRANT YOUR PEACE-LOVING, GENTLE, FREE SPIRIT AND GROUND-TO-EARTH SOUL ETERNAL REST IN HIS BOSSOM. YOU ARE AND WILL REMAIN THE KING OF THE YOUTHS.

ONLY WHEN WE WERE ABOUT TO SEE YOU...! |
January 12, 2015 |
It is incredibly sad that your life ended so soon. Only when we were about to see and know you better that all of a sudden we became speechless. The footprints of love, fraternity and generosity you left in our hearts will never fade. May God keep you in His bosom.

Oh my God, what a big shock, it is true that you are now history. Your departure came to me like a thunderstorm after communicating with you on the facebook at 11.25 pm, before your passing away, no farewell words were spoken. My heart still aches in sadness and secret tears flows. I know you are in a better place without the limitations or human weaknesses. Go and prepare a place for us as your legacy lives on. Rest in peace. Your niece Sella Laurantine (Kumba)
