| Colonel Nga Rose Angeline |
Colonel Nga Rose Angeline is the deputy
Director at the military in Younde and the first woman in the
military to attain the rank of Colonel in the Cameroon army. It was in January 2001 that Nga Rose
Angeline entered the book of honours as a military officer thanks to her hard
work and strength of mind. Though trained as a medical Doctor at CUSS, Nga Rose
Angeline against all the odd, decided to jump above the masculine artificial
barriers to make a jumpstart career in the military. She was one of the two
first female candidates who in 1985 passed the entrance into the Military
Academy-EMIA. Apparently, she entered EMIA with the mission to make the
difference and to stand out when even most people (women) seem to blend in. While
at EMIA, she proved to be an all weather woman given that upon graduation she
was among the first three. From all indications, Colonel Nga Rose Angeline is
the rare breed that if you teach her how to fly a plane today and the next day
she will make a round trip around the world. Obviously, it is her
multi-talented of always making the difference that makes her a role model in
the military.
As pediatric in the military, Colonel
Nga Rose Angeline has proven beyond reasonable doubts that her success story,
hard work, and attachment to do just what is right is linked to her humble up
bringing and her unshakable belief in the Words of God. From Garoua to Yaounde
where she served in various capacities, she had always tell her patients,
friends and colleagues that come for the treatment of their kids that, man, no
matter how rich or poor, big or small is the same in the eyes of God. Based on
this physically powerful and entrenched belief of hers, she has been nick named
“Iron Lady”. Yet, coming closer to Colonel Nga Rose is to make a new discovery
of an army officer who is humble, down to earth and accommodative. In the
opinion of a wider public, she is level-headed and a soft spoken God fearing
woman. What has made her to emerge from the madding crowd is her ability to
resist to enticement and her humanitarian but austere application of chain of
command. Conversely, Colonel Nga Rose is the major source of hope to hundreds
irrespective of tribe and region of origin. In the Northern Region where she
was covering three regions, she left an indelible mark of greatness. It makes
sense to indicate that beside offering unmatched selfless service to her dear
fatherland, Colonel Nga Rose may not know the high esteem in which the
underprivileged and the younger generation hold her. Young girls continue to
look at her with a lot of admiration and many have often expressed the desire
to be like her in the future.
