A Tribute to Wana Paul Chebele

Tribute to Wana Paul Chebele
By
Fomenky Nobert Nkafu
Well Paul, so you are really gone. I would have written this letter earlier; but I thought at the Mortuary in Bamenda, on seeing your corpse, like Lazarus and Jesus, you will get up and tell me you were only sleeping.That never happened.
At the graveyard I still nursed hopes that it could happen. It never did and my tear glands went crazy.Fare thee well, friend, and remember us to Fortoh Tom, Epie Sabastine, Njomo Aloysius, Forzah Felix, Ekwoge Dave, Ekwo Samuel Malongo, Mah Maureen etc.
When I last called you a fortnight before your departure, you could have told me that you were to visit Heaven.I would have rushed to say bye-bye. Pray for us as we do same here, but please plead with the Almighty to reduce the death rate in the World.

Mr. Fomenky Nobert is a classmate and a good friend of the Late Wana Paul--May our good friend, Late Wana Paul, live in Peace and prepare heaven, which he has gone to, and which we shall all be going, for us.__._,_.__ __,_._,___
