-CEO, Farmer’s House
Mr Peter Ngufor, CEO of Farmers' House has declared that 2022 is the year to bring all Crisis in Cameroon to an end. He was speaking recently while presenting New Year Wishes to the Bafanji Community in Bamenda. This annual event took place at Foncha Street and assembled the huge Bafanji Family that is known to reside in Bamenda.
Speaking to the battery of journalists who turned out for the event, Pah Peter Ngufor said it was part of his annual programme to assemble the Bafanjis in Bamenda at his family residence. “This year is a repeat of what we had last year. The only difference this year is that there were some additional ingredients. For example the music that you have in the background was not so good. This year it has been perfected. As a result I am very happy and as you can see the villagers themselves are very happy because they needed this type of occasion to relax. With all the difficulties that they have been going through, if they can find a day in which they can enjoy and relax like they have been doing here then I think it’s a wonderful idea.”
He
said the dance group animating the occasion was called the Samba and
that he had the same version of a dance group back in the village. He supports
this dance group and takes care of its upkeep back in Bafanji. However, when he
suggested that he wanted to bring the Samba Dance group from the village
to Bamenda for the occasion the Bafanji youths in town told him not to worry insisting that
they could do it. From every indication they did not fail him. “I am happy with
what they have done. My message is that people should be happy once in a while.
It should not be sorrow all the time.”
This
Northwest elite lamented that development initiatives in the village had been
stalled by the Anglophone Crisis and the COVID-19 Pandemic. He said he wished
that all these problems should have been solved by the end of the year 2022 so
that they could once more focus on development issues in the village. The
Anglophone Crisis he said had gone on for long and many atrocities had been
committed. He opined that it was time for every Cameroonian to be focused on bringing all the crisis in the country to an
end. “2022 should be the year to bring all crisis to an end.”
In
a parting shot, Pah Peter Ngufor praised the performance of the Indomitable
Lions of Cameroon at the ongoing African Cup of Nation AFCON 2021. “Now that
they've sailed past the first stage, my wish is that they should continue like
that and get to the finals and if they take the cup I promise something better
for them.”
He
called on the Bafanji people not to be discouraged but to make the best of what
ever situation they found themselves in.
Mr
Music Vincent, President of the Fanji Development and Cultural Association
FADCA said they had turned out to thank God for keeping them alive through out
the year despite the difficult times they passed through. He said as it was
traditional, they decided to meet at the Residence of their patron Pah Ngufor
Peter on such an occasion.
He
urged the Bafanji Family in Bamenda to always stick together as each other’s
keeper and equally called on them to be very careful in the face of the
ravaging COVID-19 Pandemic.
The
North West Regional President of FADCA said during the year they met in Limbe
and put in place a National structure as well as a National Youth structure. He
said they also created the women’s wing and that all these structures were
meant to work together in the realisation of Development Projects in Bafanji.
The
event was rendered colourful by traditional dances made available by the Samba
Dance group in Bamenda. Also present were beautiful traditional musical
presentations that were reminiscent of the annual cultural festival that used
to take place in Bafanji during the more peaceful days.
