Cry my
Beloved Government Secondary School Nyasoso
Our beloved Government Secondary School Nyasoso---the
legendary secondary school that has churned out a good number of Cameroon's
elites; a school that was the dream of every aspirant from far and near; a
paradise in the jungle because of its picturesque environment and the village
hosting it; a school where the quest for academic excellence was a do or die
affair; all of these, orchestrated by a battery of seasoned mentors and it's
beautiful infrastructure. Nyasoso of legendary teachers like Forgab Njinju
Peter (history), Tayong (literature) and Fomusso alias “Punctual” (English
language) etc.
Each time I go down the memory lane I feel like
turning back the hand of time. But when I look at the Nyasoso of today, I
become emotional and indeed, I shed tears. Not only has time had its toll on
the school, the current crisis rocking the two anglophone regions has plunged
the school into a more sinister abyss. GSS or GHS Nyasoso as it is called today,
is a hideout for rodents and separatist fighters. The one-time mythical
administrative block has now been transformed into a cachet for hiding lovers.
Soso as its fondly called, is, as I speak, a shadow of itself. Weeeh, who will
speak for Soso?! Who will resurrect Soso?! Who will bring back those glorious
days of Soso?! NEXSA should ponder on this.
