Larry, The poet Aki Akombi has said what you and me would have said about our friend Chief Obi Okon Wanobi Osang. He was my class mate in the Faculty of Law in the University of Yaounde. With all humility, I can now state as I have proviously in many occasions, that he was a gentleman, great in every respect in all humility. Larry, do you remember that afternoon in Melem, at the heart of our student activism, when I was our law class delegate, the very heated argument we had with our dear friends Chief Obi Okon and Oben James Agbor on the one hand and you and me on the other? Yes those were the days Larry, when the confrontation of ideas brought fruitful results. When we return to Campus, those who had raised the marginalisation of Southern Cameroonian students felt the full weight of our principled but heated deliberations. And this, Larry, we did for the good of all. Later on in life, we met a number of times, and I discovered that his long civil service career in the Lion's den did not change his gentle and admirable disposition. Reason why I can validly concur with the good poet Aki Akombi that with the passing of our good friend, the contextual circumstances which I do not know as I write these humble words, goodness indeed died. May his gentle soul rest in peace. Chief Charles A.Taku --- On Sat, 2/2/13, Larry Eyong <ebenezar11@yahoo.com> wrote:
