Opis

Underneath the lines of "Lamentations" resides the intellectual integrity and temerity of a man - Peter Essoka - who has taken an uncompromising posture against those who inflict pain and suffering on fellow compatriots especially those in the downstairs category in society. As a genuine patriot, Uncle P (our affection name for him) strongly believes that, the rubbish littered on the moral landscape of Cameroon over the years needs to be cleansed and thoroughly too. As Cameroon clocks Fifty as a nation-state, Peter sees that moral cleansing as the only pathway to socio-economic and political salvation which can generate wellbeing for all Cameroonians. Reading Lamentations is also taking an intellectual journey into the beauty of the English language. Shifu Ngalla Journalist I have come to look forward to that 6:20 a.m. wake-up call and cannot help admiring not only the variety, depth, consistency and constancy of the messages but more especially the pluck of the man. As I listen to his baritone voice, I realise that for many, it represents the voice of the voiceless and the conscience of a nation. Carry on "chaps," we are listening Lydia Belle EFIMBA
