Boakov in Buea, Cameroon

Meanwhile, Boakov finally travelled with Jeanne to Buea, provincial capital of the South west and former capital of Anglophone Cameroon. They spent the weekend at the prestigious parliamentarian Flat Hotel. During their sojourn, Boakov thought that, after showing signs of a gentleman by hiring separate rooms for him and Jeanne, it will make his plans of going to bed with her sail through easily. Then during the final day of the weekend in Buea, at the Bar of the Hotel, Boakov made an open ended question which was coated with a proposition. But to his great surprise, Jeanne, while smiling, told him that, she was not willing to date him. But Boakov is not the type of man who gives up easily. He considered the game of dating girls the same ways predatory animals operates. The first attack might not work out, but it doesn’t mean that, a patient predator as he calls himself, won’t get his prey. Boakov asked Jeanne: “now that you have rejected my proposal, may I ask you this question: who are currently dating?” Jeanne responded: “I am dating Nguelemedouga”. “Do mean little Lenin?” Boakov despairingly asked. “Yes!” Jeanne responded. In reality, Jeanne was not dating Nguelemedouga. And more, Nguelemedouga who was only planning to date Jeanne and never knew that she was also his secret lover, who only waiting for Nguelemedouga to make the advances.

Boakov was very angry and felt humiliated that, a little boy who was above all his student and also younger than his son, was preventing him from dating a girl that he loves. He made his resolve as he and other have already done, to punish Nguelemedouga. How? That is what I am about to tell you and it seems I had already started. The Ecole Normale Superieur de D’Administration et de la Magistrature (ENAM) is as I have earlier explained to you, the school that prepares French-speaking Cameroonian to post positions with the civil service and since the unification of October 1st 1961, English-speaking Cameroonians who must have to study in French in the school, must through if they do equally desire top government jobs. The most brilliant students at the end of studies at ENAM are posted to strategic posts in strategic towns or cities, while the average students are posted to less important functions. But the administration of ENAM may decide to post the worst students to strategic posts and the brilliant ones to less strategic functions. Such change of rules happens when the average or academically poor students are children of powerful government officials while the brilliant students are children of people with little or no political or financial powers.

But Nguelemedouga was victim of a rule that gave teaches and the school administration too much power. And because; he inadvertently denied Boakov a date with perhaps the most beautiful girl ENAM has ever known, it was why Nguelemedouga, as I have already told you, found himself in Couseri a supposed barren land that, he transformed into a place flowing with milk and honey.
