Auntie,

Dear Dr. Mrs Dorothy Njeuma and family,

 

I am deeply saddened by the passing of your beloved husband and father, and hereby extend to you all my most sincere condolences.

 

Professor Martin Z. Njeuma taught history with a passion and flair all his own. To many, history is about a dead past. With him, history comes alive as the endless flow of little and large events that form the past, inform the present and transform the future.

 

He carried the art of deciphering the factors and forces shaping history to subtle and sublime heights, often delving into the deep dark alleys of the human soul and psychic to bring out anthropological and philosophical explanations to historical developments.

 

He was an avid observer of detail, and his analyses of the human experience in history were always penetrating, perspicuous and persuasive.

 

He exuded cool charisma and charm, was noted for his exuberence in good cheer, and seemed most comfortable in the soft shimmers of discretion.

 

With all his eclectic knowledge and learning, he was unmistakeably humble and meek in bearing, maintaining at all times a healing presence and personality.

 

He was always polite and courteous towards his students, whom he seemingly saw as seminal gems of the very history he taught.

 

Now that he has taken his place in history, may his life and example be a lighthouse on the shores of the turbulent sea of history, guiding and inspiring all who navigate through its treacherous shoals and creeks.

 

Fare thee well, dear Professor; Fare thee well, O lover of "verve and vivacity!"

Dear Madam Dorothy Njeuma and family,

 

I am deeply saddened by the passing of your beloved husband and father and wish to extend to you my sincere condolences.

 

 

Professor

We mourn the loss of a most humble and ardent academic and a citizen of the world. Uncle Zac has been an icon to all who crossed his path. he always magnified my achievements and made me feel that I was worth something. I thank him for his sincerity and vision- retiring when he could have stuck on, and living a fulfilled life. I will miss you dearly but I am conforted by the knowledge that you enjoy the love, peace and joy of your maker. Thank you for always being you. Peter Ndumbe

One of the many songs my mother used to sing around the house ended with the words "...remembered by what we have done". Uncle Zac has left a lot of happy, soul-warming memories and a long list of achievements to be remembered by. A former Yaounde University student remembered him as the professor who had sat in for a colleague and did a better job than the person he was substituting for, the students wished he would come back more often.
Auntie Limunga, Embelle, Christine, my thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of the family. May his soul rest in peace.

Dear Madam,

Accept my heartfelt condolence on the passing away of your beloved husband.

As a young scholar, I knew Prof. Njeuma only because he was a renowned figure in the country and academia. I was, however, opportune to meet him on a few occasions. In these few moments, I found that he was perhaps the most chilled, gentle and peaceful person I ever met. He was widely loved and had a laugh that would brighten the day of everyone sitting around him. He had an amazing ability to walk up to a stranger and make them a friend. He was a genuine and open person, with a positive attitude in always encouraging others. In him, I found the kind of person to whom adjectives like peaceful, gentle and loving simply don’t do justice because he was so much more beautiful than that.

Adieu! Prof.
