Dr. Fuh Calistus Gentry, Gerard Ngala Catapulted

There was elation and euphoria at the Nkambe Community in Donga Mantung Division of the Northwest Region where Dr. Fuh Calistus Gentry, Secretary of State for Mines, Industries and Technological Development and Gerard Ngala, a business magnet based in Douala were coroneted with the prestigious “DOMAJ 2011 Achievement Awards” by Donga Mantung Association of Journalists-DOMAJ. The colourful historic event that took place under the auspices of the Senior Divisional Officer for Donga Mantung Division on Saturday January 27, 2012 also registered the presence of 106 fons of Donga Mantung Division. For doing extraordinary things in an ordinary manner, Dr. Fuh Calistus Gentry as well as Gerard Ngala, according to DOMAJ jury members were role models in the spheres of politics, sustainable development and philanthropy to the point that their savoir-faire ignited a change in mentality in Donga Mantung Division. Accordingly, Dr. Fuh Calistus Gentry was voted “Donga Mantung Man of the Year” while Gerard Ngala was also voted “Donga Mantung All Round Best Rising politician”. The Donga Mantung Achievement Award it should be noted was only given to two individuals who have proven beyond reasonable doubts their commitments to serve others, promote sustainable development and reorienting youths into politics. It should be noted that Dr. Fuh Calistus Gentry won public admiration in the areas of politics, sustainable development and philanthropy. As a matter of fact, through his scholarship fund, African Model village program to renovate palaces and his level-headedness in politics placed him on the pedals of appreciation.
On the other hand, Gerard Ngala in 2011, became the Obama of Donga Mantung Division due to the dexterity he addresses burning issues. He introduced a new style of politics and was able to combine business, development, philanthropy and politics in one basket. He moved out of the madding crowd to not only preach politics of development but did it through practical demonstrations. Donated support to schools, support construction of community buildings, water schemes, roads and above all gave youths the aspiration to take part in decisions.
To Sammy Mbgatta CPDM Section President Donga Mantung IV, Dr. Fuh Calistus is a model. On the other hand HRH Fon Benchep Nfor of Binka describes him as “the most practical man of all men in action” while Dr. Ndam says “the choice was factual”. On his part Alhadj Borno Kamfon described Gerard Ngala as a “politician with conscience and character”. To Barrister Yembe, “Gerard Ngala and Dr. Fuh Calistus make up the breed of new politicians that Donga Mantung people should be proud of”. In his words, Shufai Njilangotong (Njila Isaiah Tata) cum Divisional Delegate for Secondary Education for Donga Mantung Division praised DOMAJ efforts in stimulating hard work. Njila Isaiah Tata it should be noted was voted the All Round Best High School Principal in 2009 when he was principal of GBHS Nkambe by DOMAJ. Gemandze John opined that “if Dr. Calistus continues this way, his actions will go a long way to solve the vexing political development issues in the Division”. He added that Dr. Calistus as well as Gerard Ngala all deserve a stimulant to do more for the people and that the award was timely because “they deserve that recognition. “ I am happy this recognition is coming from journalists” says Tangong Oliver.
