Tamfu Hanson Gandhi, a proud son of Nkambe in the Northwest Region of Cameroon was the first in the list of 22 or so who passed the entrance examination into the prestigious Yaounde Advanced School of Mass Communication in 1984. I happen to have passed along with him and we were classmates until graduation in 1987, when he went to CRTV-Radio where he hosted the then Cameroon Calling before he exit to greener pastures in the very vast communication field, and I went to CRTV-Television where I hosted The 7:30 New, Tam-Tam Weekend... and then resigned and went on for some more enhancing experience the world over including in USA, Europe and China, and then returned to Cameroon to found LVP, Libertas, Veritas, Probitas, Freedom, Truth and Honesty movement for the redeeming for our beloved nation, Cameroon. Imagine my joy on this day, Wednesday, January 16, 2013, when I sat in my porch in my modest residence in Barombi Kang, Kumba deep in the hinterlands of Cameroon, in the Southwest Region and saw Tamfu Hanson Gandhi, my former classmate and colleague, come calling at my humble abode with loving heart, "just to see me, praise the Lord for my protection and guidance and wish for better future," in his own very words. I was indeed bloated with sublime great feeling, to see this great son of Nkambe think and say that I was a good freind of his during our stay in the school of journalism and beyond and so he wanted to use this unique moment of a professional presence in Kumba to search and see me and testify hence to our brotherhood. Tamfu came along with another brother from Hermance Alloh in the Lebialem Division who served as his guide being a native of Kumba, the Southwest like me. He works with Canal 2 television. We had very simply yet great time together here for some two hours. Both guys are in Kumba to attend an internationally organised media workshop. Tamfu Hanson Gandhi now works as a volunteer with UN information Agency and runs around the Central African Sub-region covering significant socio-political activities for the agency. During this maiden meeting in my own home turf in Kumba he made it a point to pray with me for the success of whatever ambition I nourish for Cameroon under the canopy of LVP and liked me to the biblical Joseph who has to be sold by his brothers to a land of misery, where he however discovered his real mission as fore ordained by the almighty, even though a slave. The coming of such a friend, colleague and indeed a brother could not be treated lightly by me. To honour his presence here I invited my very village neighbour in the name of Peter Ngasoh-Mbah, a native of Batibo (Meta) to come and say hello to this buddy of mine during my sojourn in Yaounde as journalism student and bless his path in a typical African fashion, and so did Mr. Peter, in the kind amusement and pleasure of my guess. So ended the sweet evening in my humble home in my beautiful village: but not before my guests wrote and signed the guest book relating their feelings after the two-hour stay. I promise to faithfully type in here what they had to say about their call in a subsequent missive. "Friendship is two souls coming together as one," said the great Greek philosopher, Aristotle. I hold this to be more like divine truth, veritas, given my some 50 years of stay in this otherwise beautiful universe of the Lord Almighty.
