Quelle catastrophe !!! Nufi est en deuil; la mort lui a détruit un de ses piliers. Est-il vrai que LEMESSI Lambert Gustave n’est plus? Comment allons-nous endurer cet évènement ? La semaine dernière, dimanche 18 mars, de bon martin il est allé prendre son bain, pour se rendre à l’église. Subitement il se met à se plaindre d’un violent mal au ventre ; son épouse le conduisit à l’infirmerie du quartier où on lui posa une perfusion pour apaiser le mal. Le lendemain matin, ils se rendent à l’hôpital où on lui fait la radiographie pour constater une péritonite intestinale. Alors qu’on se prépare à le passer au scanner, il rend l’âme. Le 23 mars, la famille du défunt, ses amis et les cadres Nufi de Yaoundé ont conduit sa dépouille à l’église catholique de Melen où il servait comme lecteur ; le vicaire a célébré une messe pour remettre son âme à son Dieu ; il a fait l’éloge sa vie de chrétien catholique et de son engagement dans l’Eglise.
Plus récemment, il a été choisi par l’Alliance Biblique du Cameroun pour participer au grand projet de traduction de la Sainte Bible en fe’efe’e, et a été retenu dans le groupe de réviseur. La mort ne lui a pas laissé le temps de faire ses preuves sur ce chantier.
Quant à nous, n’oublions pas LEMESSI Lambert Gustave, n’oublions pas sa veuve et les orphelins. |
NUFI, ses dirigeants et ses enseignants venus de Yaoundé et de Bafang ont tenu à accompagner leur collègue dans cette dernière phase de sa vie terrestre. Les deux membres du Directoire National Nufi, MM DAKAYI KAMGA et SADEMBOUO Etienne, ont pris la parole, le premier pour transmettre les condoléances de NUFI à la famille endeuillée, le second pour faire l’éloge funèbre de LEMESSI. Il occupait une place particulière dans l’association: 
What a disaster !!!
Nufi is in mourning; death has destroyed one of its pillars. Is it true that LEMESSI Lambert Gustave is no more? How are we going to endure this event?
Last week, Sunday, March 18, sharp morning, he went to take a bath, before going to church. Suddenly he begins to complain of a violent stomach ache; his wife took him to the neighboring infirmary where he was given an infusion to appease the disease. The next morning, they went to the hospital where an X-ray control indicated an intestinal perforation. As they were prepare to scan him, he pasted away.
On March 23, the deceased’s family, friends and Nufi cadres from Yaoundé drove his remains to Melen Catholic Church, where he used to serve as a reader; the vicar celebrated a mass to restore his soul to his God; he praised his life as a Catholic Christian and his commitment to the Church.
After mass, the dead body is then transported to Bafang, in the family compound where the mourning begins with a new Mass, followed by scenes of tears. The next day, the funeral included a farewell mass, completed by a series of complimentary testimonials to the deceased, and messages of condolence from friends, members of his extended family, members of associations from different localities. In short, LEMESSI leaves the image of a wise and intelligent child, a man of peace, commitment to his faith and in all his fields of activity.
NUFI, its leaders and teachers from Yaounde and Bafang were keen to accompany their colleague in this last phase of his earthly life. The two members of the National Nufi Directory, Messrs DAKAYI KAMGA and SADEMBOUO Etienne, took the floor, the first to convey NUFI’s condolences to the bereaved family, the second to make the funeral praise of LEMESSI. He held a special position in NUFI, our cultural association.
- He obtained all degrees in the fe’efe’e language, advanced in pedagogy of teacher training, he taught this language to adults and young people, at school or in associations regular meeting.
- Very meticulous, he assured for many years, the secretariat of the Nufi Regional Directory in Yaoundé and managed its archives. At the general meetings of NUFI, the General Assembly or Board of Directors, he was regularly appointed rapporteur; he was present wherever NUFI’s outreach problems were discussed.
- More recently, he was chosen by the Biblical Alliance of Cameroon to participate in the great project of translation of the Holy Bible in February, and was retained in the group of reviser. Death did not give him time to prove himself on this site.
Lambert, you loved your language and your culture; you loved NUFI. Rest in peace with the ancestors and predecessors and may God welcome you to his Kingdom.
As for us, let’s not forget LEMESSI Lambert Gustave, let’s not forget his widow
and orphans.
