IS THE DEATH OF FRANCOISE FONING GOOD NEWS?

THE DEATH OF CAMEROON`S FRANCOISE FONING




News of the death of Cameroon`s heavyweight politician Françoise
Foning has surprisingly unleashed a wave of triumphant reaction among
some Cameroonians. Interestingly, some people have found in her death,
a golden opportunity to settle scores. Paradoxically, they did not
do so when she was alive.

It means that they have preferred to spite her behind her back,
instead of in her face. The woman has therefore posthumously been
called "a praise singer", "a sycophant", "a thief", "an opportunist",
"the devil", etc.

Other reactions to her death from different people include: "burn in
hell", "she can`t rest in peace", "she will never rest in peace but in
hell", "burn in hell nyam", "May you roast in hell madam", "we do not
enjoy to see people die but some deaths are worth celebrating and this
is just one", etc.


Although I am not a self-appointed advocate for Foning, I believe that
the dead deserve some respect and dignity. Besides, there is no use
"beating a dead horse". It was not for nothing that Antony said in
Julius Caesar: "Friends, Romans, countrymen, give me your attention. I
have come here to bury Caesar, not to praise him." He could have said
he had come to "criticize" or "condemn" Caesar. Instead, he . . .
