Some Cameroonians especially the working class converged Wednesday on the Buea residence of Mola Njoh Litumbe, doyen of chartered accountants in Cameroon and leader of the country’s Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) to celebrate the election of 47- year -old Barrack Obama as the 44th president of the US and first black US president.
Also present at the victory party was the Catholic Bishop of Buea Diocese, Immanuel Bushu, who said a prayer urging the Almighty God to protect and direct Barack Obama.
“Lord, give Barack Obama the grace to be humble, thinking only of you. Give him the wisdom of Solomon…so that he should usher in a new era in the
US and the world”, Bishop Bushu said in his humble prayer.Mola Njoh Litumbe, a senior Cameroonian citizen in his mid 70’s, who organized the sumptuous cocktail party, said Obama’s election to the highest office of the world was a great honor done particularly to the black community and the world in general.
He expressed regrets that in the past the Blackman had been treated like slaves and considered as inferior to the White man. Mola Njoh said Obama’s election, as president of the most powerful nation in the world was really an eye-opener to the world.
“I hope Cameroon would learn from Obama ‘s vision. Cameroon government and Cameroonians should learn, finance the education of our children, provide adequate health care and other amenities .I think if all these amenities are provided here people will not be going abroad to seek greener pastures”, said an elated Mola Njoh, who himself was the glad party’s master of ceremony.
Commenting further on the Obama election euphoria, Bishop Bushu went down memory lane, noting that Blacks were far advanced hundreds of years before the Whiteman.He cited Egypt as an example of Black civilization
“ The IQ is the same for all human beings. We have the same physical pwer. All we should be asking for is God’s blessing in whatever we do and with it, we will make a difference”, the Bishop said. “The Time has come. God has chosen Barack Obama.He will deliver the goods. The joy is global. We are sharing the joy of Mankind toady”
Other speakers at the party ,which was characterized by music,champaigne-popping and jokes-cracking, were all full of praise for Obama, hoping that his victory will inspire other blacks.
“ Obama’s election is a miracle .We are blessed”, said Toni Monangai, a noted Buea based businessman, who was all smiles.
Many other social parties were organised in the various towns of Cameroon
