PROFESSOR ASONGANYI: THE ESSENCE OF LIFE
Professor Asonganyi was a man of many attributes each
competing with the others for excellence: In my tribute to
Fontem Njifua published in The Star special edition May 2014
page 39 I wrote the following relating to Professor
Asonganyi's opinion about his native Bangwa culture and
tradition:
"Professor Tajoacha Asonganyi, a notable prince of the
Fontem dynasty, progressive scholar, significant personality
on the Cameroonian and African political scene who was at
the scene and center of efforts to confront the reality of
the transition of the great Monarch, in a posting to the
Lebialem Community worldwide, under the title " Storm of
passing King exposes New trends" April 18, emphasized
qualities and values that held the people together.
According to him," Four core values have been said to
sustain African culture: religiosity, attachment to the
community, sacredness of human life, and the leadership of
Kings/Fons/Chiefs. These values are like "values" that
the African child grows up imbibing; they control their
knowledge, attitudes and practices throughout life. The
Nweh People of Lebialem Division are very attached to these
values; indeed, belief in their culture and tradition is the
essence of their existence".
Through these profound words pregnant with meaning,
Professor Asonganyi opened a window into the world that
shaped and made him one of the most influential critical
thinkers and profound knowledge-smiths of contemporary
Africa and beyond. Incredulous attempts were made to
preserve and store the mortal remains of our King in a
mortuary. That would have caused grave upheavals back home
had that happened. That would have signified the end of our
tradition and culture as we know it. A prince by birth
right and a significant political personality in his own
right, Professor Asonganyi sprang into action and prevented
an egregious violation of our culture and tradition from
occurring on his watch. Professor Asonganyi took the
opportunity to speak to his people and the world about the
profound sacredness of our culture and about the profound
influences this culture and traditions had on his upbringing
and his philosophy of life. Significantly he wrote that the
"belief in this culture and tradition is the essence of
his people's existence" and indeed of his own too.
It is significant to note that without an understanding of
the profound influence of these cultures and traditions on
Professor Asonganyi, one will never understand the strength
of his character, his very elevated sense of social justice,
his very sophisticated profound thought process, his
legendary courage, the charisma surrounding his visionary
leadership and his ideological predisposition.
Without prior notice, fate placed Professor Asonganyi at a
place and time when he and only he alone could save the
culture and traditions of our people. Little did he and
obviously all of us know that by his actions at that sad
intimate moment, he was by a dint of fate writing his own
tribute two years earlier in his own golden book of life. As
we today surmise over the critical events of that fateful
moment concerning two brothers who while alive professed
radically different political ideologies both now deceased
but whom fate and destiny brought together at a critical
moment of our common existence let us reflect of the lessons
of the actions of Professor Asonganyi taught us about our
human actions on the very essence of life. And who else
could God have chosen to bring this lessen to our individual
and collective attention on an occasion that compelled
attention like no other than the one He elevated to the
position of Professor in the science of training our men
and women on the science of the very essence of life? Who I
insistently beg to ask?
Both brothers were undoubtedly among the most impressive
politicians of our time in out of our land of birth. Fate
and destiny brought them face to face with the obvious
reality of our common human existence. One although dead,
symbolized the life and future of hundreds of thousands of
his subjects and hundreds of thousands more unborn. The
other alive then held the power to protect and preserve that
symbol of life of our common human existence for him,
ourselves and posterity. He did the needful. What
mattered to Professor Asonganyi, in his own words was to
protect and preserve the culture and tradition of our people
which is the very essence of our existence.
In the end, although the journey of the King home rallied
the people from near and far worldwide the heroic actions of
Professor Asonganyi competed for sturdied attention. In
sober moments judging from this incident it was obvious to
us that Professor and his late cousin the King shared a
common platform of public service and eternal love. This is
not surprising because both of them shared a common ancestry
and the same cultural and traditional value system.
It is discernible from Professor Asonganyi's profound
comments about the core values of his tradition and culture
that he was a very effective communicator. Indeed it was
hard if not impossible for anyone to gag Asonganyi or place
a communication barrier between him and the people for whom
he lived and died. He gave all he had towards the
peoples' search for recognition, relevance, freedom,
survival and the pursuit of happiness. Free from the
inhibiting structure of the SDF, an opposition political
party in which he was a secretary-general, Professor
Asonganyi with a profound sense of urgency, effortlessly
took the genuine message of social democracy, social justice
and effective power to the people directly to the people.
His democratic and intellectual credentials were widely
acclaimed far beyond the borders of Cameroon.
I was privileged to write an introduction to the memoire of
the fallen giant. I reminded myself and readers then and
now that the sound solutions to societal problems and the
sound ideology of life propounded by Professor Asonganyi
were recorded in the deep confines of the conscience of
humanity; our common humanity. For this, I may venture to
state and state very clearly that he was not just a worthy
agent of change but a committed agent of creation which are
central attributes that define the very essence of life.
Indeed the creative genius in him generated progressive
ideas which if followed may provide a solution to the myriad
problems facing the polity and indeed humanity at large
A man of powerful and compelling ideas, Professor
Asonganyi was hard to ignore. He was generally admired and
respected even by those who struggled unsuccessfully to hate
him. He practiced the politics of ideas and solutions to
societal problems and not the politics of power for the sake
of power. He also played politics without bitterness; the
reason why he was highly respected beyond party divide. He
was the torch bearer of the politics of hope, fair play and
love without constraints. He was the very essence of life
and for this reason, although dead, he is alive.
May his soul rest in peace
By his cousin, Chief Fuatabong Achaleke Taku
