Tribute to Mr. Afombo Vincent Fonguh

Not only was Afombo Vincent Fungoh one of the greatest teacher, school administrator and politician of our time, but he was truly a passionate man. He was just as dedicated to his family as his career, and as his party comrade Lon Ernest so beautifully exemplifies in another touching memoriam. From Santa to Nwa, Ako, Misaje and Nkambe, everyone has a touching story to tell about this my friend, Afoumbo Vincent. A man we fondly called ourselves " The Man you are hear of". Though some of you reading my tribute may not know him during his life time, be informed that his passion for youth empowerment and devotion to making the world a more beautiful place where everyone can experience the best in life. He was such remarkable human being and rare teacher who would spare no efforts to pay fees for children. Many are those who have benefited from his largess. Afombo Vincent was known for his wonderful sense of humor, quick smile and laugh, graciousness, and dedication to serving God. 

Among his friends, colleagues, former students, and many others, there was deep shock at his unexpected death. It just did not (and does not) seem right that one who epitomized hopes in many students should be taken from us all at such a relatively young age. Afoumboh was one who truly loved life, cherished all that life had to offer, and lived life to its fullest as a devoted Christian. Some of us who had the great pleasure of being among his friends will continue to miss him. Mr. Afombo was a teaching teacher before he became Principal of GSS Berabe, GBHS Misaje, GBHS Santa etc. He was holder of a First Degree and DIPES II in History before obtaining Masters Degree in Political Sciences. As political Scientist, Mr Fonguh became very vibrant politician when he joined Presby in Nwa. He suddenly became the political strategist for the ruling CPDM in Donga Mantung Division. The story of the group of the CPDM in Donga Mantung can't be told without mentioning his name. When Afombo moved to Ako, he played a very important role for Dr. Fuh Calistus to change the political landscape in the Ako/Misaje Special Constituency. Lon Ernest who was Charger de Mission by term confirms that "as a matter of facts, the story of the growth and Dominion of the CPDM Party in the Donga Mantung IV Section of the CPDM in Misaje since 2007 can never be told in earnest without the mention of the name Afombou Vincent Fonguh. Infact,  Misaje was Mr. Afombou's second home. His demise is not only a great lost to his immediate family but also to the Misaje Section of the CPDM".

Mr. Afombo takes the journey of no return today, December 10, 2020 but his achievements will remain with us for centuries. His story will be read and told by generations. He was a Great man, very humble person, down to earth and rich in expidients. Afombo inspired many, pushed many, supported many and helped many to grow. That growth won't disappear - humanity will live to remember him for trappings. 

Rest in Peace Afombo The Great
