TRIBUTE TO PROF. BETTY BEST MESAME MWENE

Oh my sister in Christ! You are the merry bell that rings when the need arises!

You are the one who thinks about her people before herself!

The one who amongst a few others, has her community of birth in the depth of her heart with an indelible passion and concern – giving top priority to your provision of unconditional and timely humanitarian assistance to salvage needy/underprivileged mankind from diverse sufferings helplessness and abject poverty therein

You are the Ignatius Loyola who gives without counting the cost incurred!

Helas! Generosity is your overriding priority!  Commitment to Community Development, your dire passion and feasible action!  Concern for the Bajoh Community wherein you grew up – your inelastic supply of assistance to people-led demands!  Bottom-Top-Bottom smiles, even when hurt becomes your routine agenda, especially as you cry the Beloved Bajoh Community.

The one whose generosity is not open to competition, self-aggrandizement or comparison whatsoever!

You have singled yourself out of the doldrums of patriotism, showing unflinching concern for your people without condition, let alone by:-

• Responding to the Appeal Letter sent to you some years back for support to the building of the Pastor’s House at PC Elambeng Parish of Ekanjoh-Bajoh;

• Sponsoring the payment of teachers’ salary serving at GSS Ekanjoh-Bajoh in January 2025 with an additional motivation to every teacher therein;

• Your rapid intervention in paying an imperative ransom to save the life of young Etoendeng who was abducted in Bamenda during the peak of the Anglophone crises;

– Your recent push to ensure the Bajoh community also benefit from the ongoing Bangem- Nguti road construction project

– Huge financial support for the ongoing renovation work on the hanging bridge in Mombo

– Giving Bajoh Women a voice through your brilliant leadership of Bakossi Bajoh Women Development and Cultural Association, BABAWUCUDA

– Employment of some BAJOH sons in your professional health training institution

– And many other development outreach gestures we cannot name

In the midst of Divine and Ancestral blessings, your heart should not beat – for your place is right up there, although you might not see it coming so soon.

Continue your humanitarian work, leaving a mark of legacy, the indicators are felt now and not after your exit from this world.

[Edube ebeh ne weh; Nsang n’be ne weh; N’sanang n’be ne weh; Diob’Angum aname weh, a Muanyang.; Mam, m’Abum metomeh Me’Nsol ey!

Be abundantly blessed in the Lord, while I wish you God’s appointment as a prosperous professional and anointing of 120 years lifespan in this planet in Jesus Name.

The BAJOH community hail you and your humanitarian development actions.
