Reactions after Nguelemedouga was poisoned and survived

Cappolytree was in tears . He told Nguelemedouga: “you know Sir, that, I owe this position of Member of Parliament through you and at such, I can’t be suspected of desiring to harm you. Please accept my apologies. I will find and punish he/she who wanted to harm you and in the process, attempt to spoil my name and that of my family”. Nguelemedouga had an Olympian calm. He replied to Mr Cappolytree: “ he whispered, don’t worry” and then ,he shouted to the crowd: “the party must go on”. Then, the Divisional Officer came close to Nguelemedouga and said: “Congratulations, you are strongman. But remember Mr Nguelemedouga, this is Bassaland”. He went a step away, rotated and came back, tapped Nguelemedouga on his shoulder, and added: “Between us, haven’t you taken the wife of somebody here in Nyanon, who really wants you dead in retaliation?” Nguelemedouga replied: “No! I haven’t taken any man’s wife.” And to that question posed by his immediate boss, he asked: “why should I, when I have my wife and children in Yaoundé?” And the Divisional Officer replied: “it is simply because, your wife is not with you that, you might have been tempted to trek into an area where devils don’t dare”. Mr Winenba knew full well that, Nguelemedouga was lying, for he knew based on his four years experience in Sanaga maritime and eight years in Bassa land in general and added to reports that had reached him, that, what has happened to Nguelemedouga was the fruits of the anger and jealousy from a man, whose wife was cheating on him, and the cheated and anger man was determined to punish the man who was humiliating him.

Nguelemedouga: the magical practiser

As a magical practiser, he may have sensed that, things were not very clear, but in a demonstration of defiance, he wanted to confront his fate. Perhaps the poisoned was poured into the bottle of wine, that would be served to Nguelemedouga, by a waiter, who was certainly, the friend of the Head master of the primary school of Nyanon, whose wife, Nguelemedouga had an affair with . The second source of the poison might have come from the many enemies that, Nguelemedouga had cultivated. When the glass of wine was handed to Nguelemedouga in the presence of : Cappolytree, who was the new MP for Nyanon, Diamond Winenba, the Divisional Officer of Sanaga Maritime division and other cream de la cream of the division and the Littoral province and some guests from Yaoundé. As soon as the poisoned glass of wine rested within the hand of Nguelemedouga, the glass cracked. It cracked as though the glass had come into contact with metallic object. But the cracked only occurred after Nguelemedouga had lifted his glass for a toast. In the process of lifting his glass, Nguelemedouga mindful of the enemies he had created, recited inwardly some mythical incantations. Those incantations were given to him by a witch doctor, when he was the Sub District Officer of Couseri. The incantation was given to Nguelemedouga by the witch doctor of Couseri, in a bid to protect him from what has just happened to him in Nyanon. As the glass cracked and red liquid spread, everyone in the reception hall was shocked and the music that was playing stopped. Individual and collective suspicions invaded the hall and spoiled the victory party of Mr Cappolytree Logbang MP .

Nguelemedouga: the womaniser did not die, but was poisoned in Nyanon: this is how it happened

Nguelemedouga is a lucky man. He did not die. And now, the debate on the lips of the villagers of Puma and other passersby was: which of his many amulets saved him? Anyway, in spite the accident and how he puzzlingly escaped from the mangled car, unhurt, Nguelemedouga went ahead and attended the planned meeting. He did it to show how bold he was. He went ahead and attended the meeting called for by Mr Diamond Winenba, the Divisional Officer of the Sanaga Maritime division. The meeting took place in Edea, the Divisional capital of the Sanaga maritime division. And on Sunday, immediately after the meeting, Nguelemedouga travelled to Nyanon in order to attend a victory party organised by Mr Cappolytree, to celebrate his accession to parliament. At that party, Nguelemedouga was given a well prepared glass of wine. Well prepared here is a euphuism to say: the glass of wine given to Nguelemedouga was a poisoned wine. Nguelemedouga as a womaniser, he had many enemies. Everybody wanted to see his back. Nguelemedouga’s problem was that, he did not prefer single girls. His obsession were married women. And in the Bassaland of Cameroon, a man who flirts with married women, is said to be a man, whose days on earth are numbered. The intriguing thing was that, no one knew for sure, who prepared the poison that was poured into the glass of wine given to Nguelemedouga. But the accident in which he escaped unhurt was a forewarning of the calamitous things that laid waiting to happen to him.

Nguelemedouga: a womaniser and a mysterious civil servant

Nguelemedouga was not aware of all the manoeuvrings that was taking place behind him. He was also not aware of the hopes and fears that, he represented in the psyche of the elite of some regions in Cameroon. But when he finished his meetings at at the ministry of Territorial administration, he went back home to meet his family and delivered the good news to his wife: Noako. He told his wife: “this time around, we shall all go together to my new posting.” Everyone in the family was happy. Risdoh who had not been seeing much of her father was the most happy. And on Thursday of the month of November, Nguelemedouga decided to take his car to drive back to Nyanon. But before he could leave, he made sure he left his family with enough money. He never wanted them to lack anything. Even though Nguelemedouga was a womaniser, he loved his wife and children. He had a lot of respect for his wife, for he recalls that, when he was still a student, it was his wife who took care of him and his children financially. But that Thursday chosen by Nguelemedouga to go back to his work place, was not accepted by Noako, for she never understood why her husband instead of choosing a Friday to leave Yaoundé, wanted to do so on a Thursday.

However, Nguelemedouga convinced her that, it was necessary because, he had to attend the meeting of all sub district, district and sub divisional officers, that would be held on Saturday in Edea, the divisional capital of the Sanaga Maritime division. The meeting will be presided over by the local “president” or Divisional Officer of the Sanaga Maritime, who is also the direct boss of Nguelemedouga. His wife was convinced and lifted her opposition that she had introduced and Nguelemedouga took his car and left Yaoundé for Nyanon. On his way, around Puma. Puma is a small town that has grown along the highway linking Douala, the economic capital of Cameroon to Yaoundé, political capital, Nguelemedouga had an accident. Mysteriously, he came out of the mangled car, unscathed and took a commercial bus to Edea. Some people claim that, he was bewitched by some of his jealous colleagues at the Ministry of Territorial Administration in Yaoundé, while others claimed that, because he was a womaniser, he may have had the accident because, he was distracted by a beautiful woman who was on the sidewalk of the high way.
