The administrators of the Tatsa
Estate have apologized to Sheriff-bailiff Joseph Fonyuy Njoya,a Bamenda based
international legal consultant. In a mail issued an signed by the three administrators
of the Tatsa estate namely; Tatsa Fonkwang Norbert, Tatsa Mbikakeu Augustine
and Tatsa Longlack Berlain, the trio on behalf of the entire family apologized
for whatever any member of the family might have caused to the personality of
Barrister Joseph Fonyuy Njoya during the Press Conference that took place at
Ayaba Hotel on May 31, 2013. The apology dated July 15, 2014 which The Eye laid
hands on a copy was explicit and apologetic, yet impressive and full of
dignity. The administrators averted that they were ill advised. In a very
cordial manner, the administrators outlined that "having amicable resolved
with you, all pending actions against our estate and individual members of our
family, we hope by this apology to move harmoniously rather in building
together what our father left as a legacy for this country for each and sundry,
and to foster your career as a legal practitioner".
It should be recalled that
Sheriff-bailiff Joseph Fonyuy Joseph is a hard working and efficient
international consultant who many young advocates look up to him as their role
model. What is peculiar about the learned advocate is that whenever you
meet him for the first time, you are taken by his mastery of issues. Take
it as arrogance and you are right for this is positive superciliousness because
he masters issues. Notwithstanding, he has the drive and dedication that defies
any facile explanations. From that standpoint, popular opinion in
Cameroon had long described Barrister Njoya as a role model in the legal
profession and a silent achiever. When he was cited in the Tatsa saga, analysts
were taken aback given that he is “highly skilled and approachable and has good
legal and people skills”, a “formidable advocate” that could not be involved in
scandals. He is well
known for his dedication to the well-being of the profession as well as his
clients, his will to win, his legal knowledge, creativity and attention to
details. Besides, has also been said to be that kind of person who finds
solutions to difficult problems. He will take time to understand everything
issue and will tailor his service around the needs not only for the seek of
money but at times for humanity (Pro Bonu) and with a fair and flexible
approach. Where a case can be resolved through negotiations, so as not to incur
costs, Maitre Njoya can be relied upon for his strong negotiation but where a
fight is necessary, he is renowned for his authority performance.Meet him at
the Njoya Chambers in Bamenda and you will be marveled by his skills in both
national and international issues.
When Abraham Lincoln in 1850 wrote
the following on the job of a lawyers, he was categorical that even though
“there is a vague popular belief that lawyers are necessarily dishonest…the
impression is common, almost universal. Let no young man choosing the law for a
calling for a moment yield to the popular belief---resolve to be honest at all
events; and if in your own judgment you cannot be an honest lawyer, resolve to
be honest without being a lawyer”. Lincoln appears to have practiced what he
preached. Amazingly, he earned his nickname, “Honest Abe,” despite working in
two professions commonly accused of ignoring the truth: law and politics. Even
as a young man, Lincoln’s honest character was evident just the way
Cameroonians look at Barrister Joseph Fonyuy Njoya. Lincoln’s reputation for
honesty followed him into politics just like Barrister Njoya’s truth earned him
an apology from the Tatsa Estate administrator.
Lincoln’s reputation for absolute
honesty gave him an edge as a leader. People might have disagreed with him, but
they couldn’t question his integrity.
