Donga Mantung: LIFIDEP to Distribute Sheep/Goats to Farmers

 

Some 31 breeders of the Nkambe Active Youths Small Ruminants Simplified Cooperative, will soon receive 100 goats and 50 sheep from the Livestock and Fisheries Development Programme-LIFIDEP. The goat/goat is multi-purpose animal producing meat, milk, hide, fibre etc.

Doing some certifications ahead of the handing over of the support to breeders in Nkambe, Damasius Ngwa, Divisional Coordinator of LIFIDEP for Donga Mantung prescribed astudness to cooperators, adding that LIFIDEP has instituted Pass On the Gift programme to improve on breeders income and improve production. According to Damasius Ngwa, the contribution of goats/sheep is highly valued and has an important role in feeding the populations, reasons why LIFIDEP has instituted Pass on the Gift Programme to encourage sustainable food chain. In fact, goats are extremely intelligent animals, very agile, and independent, with a high level of resistance to diseases, much better than other ruminant species, he concluded.

Ahead of the handing over the POG to beneficiaries, it is worth mentioning that the animals were dewormed and tagged. The President of Nkambe Active Youths Small Ruminants Simplified Cooperative, Bawe Vincent Ngala expressed gratitude to MIDENO and LIFIDEP for the timely support which he said will go a long way to improve on the welfare of members, provide quality meat to the public and instill modern techniques of breeding. He said the cooperative is made up of 14 youths and 11 women. 

Commonly known in Donga Mantung Division as poor man’s cow, goat/sheep have immense contribution to the poor man’s economy. They not only supply nutritious meat to their children but also regular source of additional income for poor and landless farmers. Being small-sized animals, goats and sheep can easily be managed by women and children. Feeding, milking and care of goats/sheeel does not require much equipment and hard work. Capital investment and feeding costs are also quite low. One of the frontline staff of LIFIDEP remained beneficiaries that goats/sheep can be maintained as cheaply as one indigenous cow. Goats/sheep he added can be successfully reared in areas where fodder resources are limited. Returns on capital of up to 50% and recovery of 70% of retail price are possible in goat/sheep farming. In Nkambe central, goat/sheep farming plays a vital role in providing gainful employment to youths and women.

How Atanga Family Gave Cheerfully to God's People

The Bible teaches us that it is only when we learn to give ourselves to Christ that we can cheerfully give to support His purpose. If we find giving to God's ork difficult, we probably haven't given our heart, either.And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things, at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. The book of Proverbs 11:25 clearly states that the generous man will be prosperous, And he who waters will himself be watered. 

The statement is further illustrated in Romans 12:8  "if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is giving, let him give generously; if it is leading, let him lead with diligence; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully". The Book of  2 Corinthians 8:12 outlines that "For if the eagerness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what he does not have". While Philemon 1:14 corroborates that "But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that your goodness will not be out of compulsion, but by your own free will."

The consecration of the newly constructed Mary Immaculate Conception Parish of Efoulan village in Ebolowa on May 29, 2021 by Phillipe Alain Mbarga, the bishop of the Ebolowa Diocese was described by Impressionists as a solemn religious event to applaude an act of cheerful-giving. The consecration ceremony it should be noted was attended by the personal representative of President Paul Biya, Samuel Mvondo Ayolo, Minister, Director of the Civil Cabinet of the Republic. Also present to grease the solemn religious ceremony were cabinet ministers, a college of clergy, administrative authorities, elected political officials, religious, traditional leaders, external and internal elite and an enthusiastic population. To say the least, that consecration ceremony entered into annals of history as the most formidable act of cheerful giving. When Madame Yvonne Abang Atanga, an elite who doubles as congregational parish president took the rostrum, she welcomed all and sundry who took off time to witness the consecration of the rehabilitated God's house. She thanked the Head of State, Paul Biya, who honoured the population of the village of Efoulan by dispatching Minister Samuel Mvondo Ayolo as his personal representative to the consecration mass. She revealed that the Efoulan Catholic Church had dilapidated, and she and her husband, Minister Atanga Nji Paul, in honour of late Pa Atanga Abang, father of Atanga Nji Paul, decided to reconstruct the church for God's people. She hoped the church will serve as a place of prayers and will spiral other development projects in the village. Madame Yvonne Atanga prayed that the newly constructed Catholic Church being consecrated on Saturday May 29, 2021 will mark a turning point in the life of Catholic Christians in Efoulan in particular, and the population in general. She hoped and prayed that the entire Catholic Church in Cameroon will take a relay and construct schools and hospitals in Efoulan. 

Giving is an act of worship (Gen. 22:5). We are to give regularly and systematically whenever we come to worship God (1 Corinthians 16:2). 

Giving is both for the rich and the poor. A person does not have to be very wealthy to be a great giver in the sight of God. In His own measuring scale, a poor person can give as much or more than a wealthy person. God's method is very simple. He measures our giving by how much we give out of what we have.
