Nguelemedouga & his experience as sub district officer of Couseri (final part )

Couseri sub district located in the Far North province of Cameroon, the place he knew he was posted to after graduation as retribution, was no longer a barren and desolate land, populated by fanatical Muslims. Mr Nguelemedouga was posted to Couseri upon graduation, because when he was a student at the Ecole Normale D’administration et de la Magistrature (School of Administration and Magistracy), he was always going out with the girls his professors wanted to go out with, and as vengeance for his impertinence, he was assigned to Couseri for they (his professors and administrators of his school) thought and he also thought that, Couseri was a inhospitable land. When he (Nguelemedouga) had his first vacation, he travelled down south with a lot of money. He went straight to a trendy and posh neighbourhood of Yaoundé called Santa Barbara and bought a piece of land, in order to build a house for his family. After buying the piece of land, he travelled to Douala, the economic capital of Cameroon and there, he bought a brand new Mercedes Benz car.

After all those purchases, he rode directly to Yaoundé and drove into the campus of his former school and positioned his car at a strategic corner, where all eyes could see. While Nguelemedouga, a newly graduated student and new sub divisional officer of a little known locality rode in a brand new Mercedes car and had bought a piece of land in a posh part of the capital, where only top government functionaries and other wealthy people reside or possesses lands, the standard of living of his former tutors had not changed. Some had cars, but they were of French or Japanese brands, which were not trendy and most did not even have enough savings to buy plot of lands to build their own homes. Those who had some savings and had bought lands, they were bought in parts that were not trendy. But Nguelemedouga and his Mercedes car, stationed in a strategic corner of the campus surprised many. They were left spell bound, when they got news that, the Mercedes car, stationed at a calculated part of the school campus was not that of a ruling party big wig or minister, but that, of Nguelemedouga.
