| Ma YaahPatience Tamfu: Lifetime Achiever |
If
there is any area in Cameroon where the Beijing platform can be assessed, it is
in the domain of politics and how effective women have evolved in supporting
innovative which was in earlier times a no-go zone for the woman. Yaah Patience
Tamfu is one of the few female politicians who is constantly in touch with the
population all the time. Ever since this daughter of the great statesman, late
Hon. SN Tamfu became the sparkling flicker and emblem of the Wimbum tradition
in Uncle Sam’s USA, she has been crowned three times. This is so because she
never fails to support any development endeavour in Donga Mantung Division.
From soccer to development projects, innovative ideas to youth, women
empowerment, her name is always written in gold. The fon of Mbot once described
her as the lavender of Wimbum Community in the USA.
Besides,
being a development oriented character, Ma Yaah Patience Tamfu is also a
refined politician. Yet she takes politics as a game of ideas and not that of
hate. So far so good, ahead of CPDM reorganization many look up to her as the
ever first woman to strengthen the CPDM party in the United State of America. She
has become a symbol that a woman in leadership position is worth celebrating.
Hitherto considered a no go zone for women, Yaah Patience Tamfu has not only
dismantled the male barriers constructed round politics but has more
importantly serve as a woman emancipator. And that she is a member of the
national bureau of WCPDM is a fact and that she campaigned tirelessly for
President Biya to win in Diasporas during the last Presidential elections is
an indisputable fact.

Since
her election into the national Bureau of the CPDM,-Central Committee, Ma Yaah Patience
Tamfu had helped a great deal in stabilizing the CPDM in the Diasporas. Even
though she lives in the USA, she remains open-minded and accessible to the
people back home. She talks and acts with dogged friendliness reasons why she
is loved and appreciated by all the young men, elders and young women in
Mbumland.
These
qualities incalculably complement her multifarious roles in Mbum land, Donga
Mantung Division, North West and Cameroon as a whole. Her savoir-faire in
politics and the zeal she has to support sustainable actions have earned her
several recognitions. It was not by error that she was voted as "Woman of
Year" in 2012 by readers of The Eye newspaper. In the US where she lives,
she was also recognized by her employer as well as the various communities due
to her leadership skills and on August 31, 2015, her representative was handed
the prestigious “Lifetime Achievement Award” at the CamCCUL Hall in Nkambe.
This
is so because she is a mass of endowment, a gifted woman who lives in every
other person’s problem. Hard work and efficiency have continued to be the
qualities that define her. Whenever you meet her for the first time, you are
taken by her mastery of issues. Take it as arrogance and you are
right for this is positive arrogance that enables that job for which she does
is done correctly. Notwithstanding, she has the drive and dedication that
defies any facile explanations. Born into the family of late Hon. SN Tamfu, she
was brought up in close knit family in the fear of the God. In later life she
could not escape to be a workaholic or become a politician par excellence, yet
adopted her own approach to politics by making it bedmate to development.
