Comrades,

When news trickled out and was confirmed by many news organs that at last the Rt Hon Prof Agbor Tabi had passed on to eternity, Facebook was animated with tributes and sometimes gibes. May I seize this opportunity to say may his soul and those of the faithful departed rest in perfect peace as we continue the battle for life and quest for eternal rest in God's Kingdom.

I came to know Prof Agbor Tabi in Yaounde when he was the Minister of Higher Education. I remember that in his performance in that office, he made himself grow above the second class rated position which many Southern Cameroonians have arrogated to themselves. He was the alpha and omega of his ministerial department. His signature was strong and his voice was heard as illustrated by those who were able to enjoy his largess. He did not allow subordinates to disturb him at all and or call him names. Like Prof B. Fonlorn, he shaped things the way he wanted without a complex but paid unalloyed support to the regime he served so his fortunes rose and fell with those of the regime. He did the Cameroonian thing so well. Hence the cow fed where it was tethered to the glory of his people except those on his blacklist. You will remember that in Cameroon those who do not support your master are on the wrong side of history. Those who fell out with him did so simply on this score. Again many fault all those who wanted the highest office set aside for Southern Cameroonians in the mindset of the leaders of the fake jumba marriage with la republique so you cannot hold anyone for being ambitious to a fault. I believe he could have made himself greater if God had given him the chance but now he has fallen. After this remorsefully great loss, what remains are the lessons to be learned for the benefit of the living.

Lesson number one: Serve God and do His biding for the sake of his people.
Lesson number two: What goes up must come down hence be humble and do the right for the greater good of humanity not the self for naked you came and naked you will go. Our brethren leaves behind achievements and dreams unaccounted and takes away only what God originally gave him which is live.

Lesson number three: We come from somewhere hence we need to pay allegiance to where God placed us as a light to the downtrodden. We cannot afford to look at the other side when our people suffer persecution and underdevelopment etc.

Lesson number four: Do not leave your people to suffer while you support the foreigner and sometimes against the wishes of your people.

Lesson number five: Love one another without discrimination. At the end of life, you cannot bury yourself. Your achievements cannot arise and bury you. They actually stand aside especially when they are material. Only people do. Put people first in all human endeavours.

Adieu Prof. RIP. You fought a good fight but God prefers you to rest so others may learn lessons and act better for His greater good and glory.
