My
names are Vise G. Chin.
I
live with my family in Nkwen Bamenda III. I am the CEO/President of Leéiyen Systems, a not-for-profit, non-sectarian and developmental organization, sacrificing self to building mind, body and soul in developing countries. Okay, where exactly do I start? There are so many things we have done in the
lives of individuals or communities, beginning from assisting more than five thousand
children have access to education. Having worked on several community projects in the likes of water supply, construction of classrooms for schools,
provided basic school supplies to more than 10,000 children, provided benches,
donated textbooks to school libraries, carried out HIV/AIDS sensitization, realized several malaria control projects, and contributed lots in the field of sensitization
in communities on various developmental issues. With all these, know we have done just small and
I am certain that better is not good enough for the best is yet to come.
I
like the North West Region because I was born there and I know the
dynamism of the people with respect to development and building better
communities and systems for the benefit of many. I like the region for their love and hospitality coupled with a very conducive climate. I particularly like the landscapes which
add to the beauty of the environment and underground water supply. It is paradise on earth for me. Bamenda has a great future economically and its developmental growth potential is
likened to none other in the country. It is a region that has proven itself in terms
of academics even in oppression and rejection, making parents, families and
philanthropists to work extremely hard in educating their its youth.
As far as the development of this region is concerned, I appreciate the efforts that many are putting to making a difference even though the pace of development is very slow due to the type of leaders we have who are not visionaries.
We need people with impetus who can see the future of this region 50 years from now and make plans to that regards. I am one of those who still mourn the passing of late Mayor Ahmando of Bamenda III for the developmental spirit he had for Nkwen and on his passing, no one has been able to fit into his shoes. A good example of the things he did was the excellent manner of collecting garbage which everyone knew and loved. Today, it is the opposite as you will witness pools of polluted water along our major junctions in a so called city. Apparently the numerous road projects he started went with him to the grave. The public toilet he constructed in the Nkwen area has now been partitioned into rooms for sex and sleep-over in spite the numerous inns in town.
We need more articulate leaders who will think now and work for tomorrow. The North West Region is almost left out and used as a political dumping ground and grooming of confusion. Where is the ring road? How long must we wait? Can someone own up!
Project
New Bamenda is a laudable initiative aimed at us accepting who we are and
making our style good to meet up and claim our rightful place. We need to be
known, remembered and above all cherish and count our gains. Project New Bamenda
needs us to give back to our very community so that development becomes the major
role of the people. We need to promote, encourage and grow with one accord
and spirit.
I
dream seeing Bamenda not changing too much everything being equal. No roads, no
improvement in health facilities, no improvement in education facilities unless its people take the bull by the horn. The North West has enormous resources that many are taping and
getting rich and shall continue especially with new trends emerging in the fields of entertainment and business.
One Last One
My
favorite dish is all the dishes of the region, every day I love every food that
is served for that makes my choice.
The place I love the most is all the hills,
valleys and streams.
My favorite proverb
is “TRY GOD”.
