New Limbe Paramount Chief Thanks God, Government

 

By Tracy A. Kwaleh

 Chief John  Elufa Manga-Williams the new Paramount Chief Of Limbe has made his  first official outing to thank God and the Government of Cameroon  following his recent confirmation as  the Paramount Chief of Limbe.

A procession of Kingmakers, traditional council, notables and elite, was led with songs of praises to the Ebenezer Baptist Church; March 31 for a Thanksgiving Service.

Reading from the book of 1st Samuel 10, Pastor Ewole John, who presided at the thanksgiving service, described how God instructed Samuel to anoint Saul as he was proclaimed King before the people of Israel, so shall the Paramount Chief stand tall among his peers.

Rev. Monjimbo Joseph, one of the founding fathers of the Ebenezer Baptist church was given the honor to anoint and ordain the New Paramount Chief.

“There have been spiritual and physical struggles but the church has been strongly behind him and we believe that God has made a seal for this day to come to pass”. Pastor Ewole John said.

In a meeting between Chief John Elufa Manga Williams and the SDO of Fako, the paramount chief expressed jubilation and appreciation for his people in his Mbonjo residence.

“We thank God who has given us life and to whom all power belongs and from whom we can tap power and the administration who carried out this exercise and my community for being very supportive over the years”. He said.

It is worth noting that the seat of the Limbe paramount stool has been vacant for the past seventeen years after the death of Chief Bille Furgosson Manga Williams.

This approval gives the community a full traditional ruler who governs over the affairs of the custom and tradition of the people.

What is Ukraine's offence? Why has Russia chosen to launch an offensive at this point and what exactly does it seek to achieve? What will happen next and where is the world heading? These and other questions have been attended to here. It may end up being a long piece but I appeal on you to exercise some patience and come along with me. On the international stage, states don't have permanent friends. Friendship lasts for only as long as the other party is still relevant to the fulfilment of their interests. It is common for them to share a bed with one party today and avoid them the next if their interests change and the fellow becomes irrelevant or too dangerous to stay close. Common i...

Key amongst these measures were recommendations on hygiene (handwashing and/or hand sanitizing) and social distancing aimed at limiting transmission. Other theories have been put forward as to how best to manage COVID-19, ranging from the use of pharmaceutical products like chloroquine to food supplements.   For any of these to merit any serious consideration, it is important to know how the body actually reacts to viral infections.   The human body generally has the appropriate mechanisms to defend itself against bacterial or viral (pathogen) attacks.    The first line of defense is generally through ...
