Hello fellow steemians accept my warm greetings from this end globe .To precise northwest region of Cameroon.Its another privilege for me to share with you people how day unfolded.My day started with a very good footing but turn out to be a bad day since the beginning of this 2025 . After , receiving a shocking news about the death of one of my secondary school classmate and a friend of mine in a boat drowned.
My day started with a very good footing at 4:00am.I got up so early to complicate some school assignments I had .Very soon we are reopening and the dateline is coming closer .I hate to do things at rush hours with too much pressure.I always prefer to do my things at my space and take my time to do it well .When I was done I forwarded the assignment to the lectures through their Emails.
I had to keep the house clean and arranged my kids sleep room.When I was done it was time for me to prepare food.I had in mind to prepare Okonganbong and boiled ripe plantains .I had everything but to grind my Egusi seeds is not easy because just recently my blender is behaving funny.I went to a nearby grinding mail and grind my egusi.Immediately, I came back home .
While at home , I discovered different missed calls from my friend but I didnot noticed .Trying call one of them her number was showing busy .I decided to on my data and keep her a message online on WhatsApp. To my greatest surprised I boom I saw almost all my friends especially secondary school classmate have sent a message .I first opened but our ex-students group . I saw the picture of my classmates and friend of mind .Posted inthe group he died from a boat capturlized with one his colleague ,all health workers and everyone was lamenting in group .
The worst was they sent some their pictures lying death.I discovered while in a canoe boat they had no life jacket.I cried and cried and almost try to question God .Back in our days in the secondary school .Albert was a very intelligent boy ,he is my friend but we had to switch path in the second cycle .He was a science students while I did arts.We completed at the same but he decided to go to a nursing school .Later. ended up a pharmacist and recently died at his post of duty area in Bangolian Baptist health center clinic.
It a very sad news and not talk of Albert is like a breath winner of family .Taking care of the junior .They were three of them in the canoe but only the boat man survived when the boat capsized in a lake just where he works called Bamenjim Dam .
This particular Bangolian to move from one area to another one needs crossed through using the Dam through boat .The area is separated with is Bamenjim Dam .Therefore,there is no way you can live in the place and carry your normal activities or errands without passing this Dam to cross .My worry is that there was no safety measure to avoid the accident.Non of them had life jackets. It’s really a big blow to entire families , friends and healthcare department.Rip , Albert 💔😭 .
My day ended up a very bad day for the year and I called it black Sunday . I felt really bad and his death was so touching to me . I went through our chats and I felt like I was still dreaming . Later, I struggled to prepare lunch for my family Okonganbong soup and with boiled plantains.I was hungry I dished some and ate after, I had serve my family .
During, evening period we had a ex-students group chat .To see how we can contributes and help the family in the burial program . Am that type of person I really feel bad contributing for death , because no matter what people needs to helped when they are alive and not death .We concluded that each and everyone can contribute more than the normal contribution when it comes to death .
My day ended me in bed still feeling so bad .I was really pained about his death . At the I had to calm down myself because life is for living . A very black Sunday for and I pray may the soul of Albert keep Resting peace.May God find a way to comfort the family to accept this shocking death .🙏🙏🙏
