Those who know of Guneku will agree with this writer that he was a no nonsense man. A man who stood for his idea believing same to be correct no matter the outcome A Fearless man he was no matter. He gave many titles to himself the most popular being COUNTRY MAN and he succeeded in achieving many things the country man way.

He travelled wide and large. USA, Germany, Holland, Italy, Ireland, Nigeria and so on and so forth. He met and communed with many personalities whenever he thinks he has a matter hemay want him do for him. He will be there. He met ministers, ambassadors, directors, governors, diplomats and other colleagues Fons within and out of Cameroon. He met men of God, the Pope, Moderator, T.B Joshua etc. and lobbied with many to open their branches in Guneku.

A developmental strategy, its it? He was a lover of progress, a crusader of development, an architect who never went to a polytech or engineering school. A catechist, who never went to a seminary, a driver, who never attended a driving school. He was a pilot, sailor, taper, hunter, weaver, tailor , call him anything ,he was and most admirable is that he was approachable.

If you did not go to him, he will come to you; he will meet you at your building site and teach or show you what and how to do it. This was most pleasurable to him. Many a son of this village and beyond have benefited from his largess in one way or the other.
