Barrister Tamfu Ngarka Tristel Richard |
Closer to Julius Druses in Cameroon is Tamfu Ngarka Tristel Richard, Senior
Managing Attorney and Solicitor at Tamfu & Co, a renowned law firm based in
Douala-Cameroon. He is a replica of an Aristotelian ethics. This is so because
according to Aristotle all human actions that are aimed at cheerfulness are the
prerequisites of a life of virtue. If we accept this starting point of
Aristotelian ethics, the next question that should automatically be asked is: how
could a lawyer become virtuous when society think great lawyers tell lies?
In asking this question we should be able to make out the distinction between
intellectual virtues, such as practical wisdom, and moral virtues, such as
courage, generosity, honesty and the like. Intellectual virtues is acquired by
education; moral virtues by habit. This is so because people with conscience
and character are resemblance for excellence or virtue and they love what is
noble and feels disgust at what is base. Lawyers are not exceptional. That is
why the likes of Barrister Tamfu Richard who are making the difference in the
practice are looked up on as locomotives of society and role models.
The simple fact about this energetic
young man is that he is such a character that finds love in what is novel and
feels disgust at what is based. Such is Barrister Tamfu Richard. His love to do what is right could easily be
linked to the result of his upbringing, intellectual virtues and practical
wisdom. Brought up in an emblematic sedimentary setup where value is carte du
jour, Tamfu’s quest for knowledge catapulted him to becoming barrister,
solicitor and renowned licensed intellectual property attorney; yet he still
believes that humanity is just like teaching a child. To him, as a peacemaker
the lawyer has superior opportunity of being a good man.
Certainly somebody doesn’t still believe
that they can simply teach a child to become a role model in society but Tamfu
Richard does. Some people often wear one face to the world and another behind
closed doors—but this is not the case with Richard who many look up to as a
role model in society. Certainly we have all heard cases of men who appear to
be extremely gentle in public, who are horribly abusive at their workplace, but
those who have had the opportunity to meet Barrister Tamfu Richard would agree
that he is such a person who has so completely embodied the right way to behave
that he exhibits this in all aspects of his life. Whenever he accepts to defend
a client in court, he does it and well.
What makes Tamfu Richard different from
others is that he has an extensive experience in the practice given that he is
a Member of the Nigerian Bar Association and Cameroon Bar Association.
