tributes for ba david njafuh
Ni Yebila My God given husband, my one and only love, my friend, The earthly author and father of our three wonderful girls, and all our God given children we raised as ordained by God Almighty, My hero, Congratulations on this special day!!!! As we enthusiastically celebrate you today on your special anniversary and thanksgiving, I want to profusely thank you for being the wonderful husband and caring father and provider for all our children. Daddy, As we fondly call you, you have led us with wonderful lessons for the past thirty-three years. The journey we started in May 1988 saw us grow together and learn the art of marriage as a unified duo learning early on our journey to put God first and count on him for our progress and happiness. We have learned that it’s never too old to hold hands and say I LOVE YOU.
We have consciously avoided going to bed angry because our love has been kind, void of pride, full of patience and mutual understanding and forgiving. We have stood together to face life’s challenges. I thank God for choosing you to be my husband and father to our children. You taught our children and grandson the values of discipline, focus and hard work. You are a man of wisdom, hardworking and always ready to defend your family under all circumstances. This, you have proven over the decades. My hero Husband As we have seen good times, we have also had bad times and yet come out intact together. The Lord has been good to us and gave you victory over the challenges of life. Your life is a testimony of Gods goodness for which I truly thank him. Today, the world joins us to celebrate you, and honoring you is all marked by healing, peace and wisdom. I salute you my hero husband and pray God the Almighty will continue to strengthen, heal and protect you for us. Darling husband, I want to tell you how much I love you, and my lips will never stop saying so to you-for you. Today, on this special day of yours, I pledge again, that as my God- given husband I will always love you till death do us part. Darling, I am yours forever.

Ni David Njafuh epitomizes uncommon qualities especially among Cameroonians. Few people support individual and community efforts without blowing the trumpet about themselves. He has time and time demonstrated that kindness does not require reciprocating. May God mightily bless you big brother. Oh what a selfless, unassuming gentleman!!! Thank you Ni David.

THE MAN, DAVID NJAFUH!
During the past 50 years, I have known David in the many shades of colors that illuminate his life as family man, mentor, socialite, philanthropist and one who is dedicated to Christian living. David has always availed himself as that first someone to whom I would place the proverbial 2:00 AM call, if and when I have that urgent need. I feel lucky about that, and, of course, I thank God for his being. To many others too, in and out of family circles, David has always been that ‘Godfather’ folks would feel comfortable turning to, for various reasons. Many, fondly call him Pa Dey; me too. Often, he would not hesitate to weigh in and help in various situations. This man has demonstrably shown readiness to have my back as a brother-in-law. Always, he does his thing without fear of staking time or treasure of his own.The philosophy that drives David’s outlook on live is altruistic, I must say. His, is in fact, a philosophy with its DNA grounded in the biblical mantra of Luke 12, 48: “To whom much is given, much is required,” or expected. And, yes, David accepts and believes in the luke doctrine. Suffice to add, that the secret weapon of choice in David’s arsenal is his significant other; none other than the beautiful, daring, and no-nonsense populist wife, Na Jalla Justine Njafuh (philanthropic social engineering is her thing too) True to type, David may be a millionaire but that net worth is not what matters to him. Making a difference in the lives of others, like mine, which he has impacted in many various ways, big and small. It warms his heart to show care and kindness. So as we celebrate his sapphire jubilee today, please let’s also join him spiritually in giving acknowledgement to the God he cherishes — the God of biblical David he fervently believes in, as sole provider of what it has taken for him to live a good life, and to impact others so positively. What’s more, David Njafuh’s uniqueness as an individual hails from the best blend he has been able to make from Bali Nyonga’s great traditions, his Christian life experiences, and the good hybrid social culture he has embraced along his American journey — a journey with milestones in the great states of Maryland, and in West Virginia, where he initialed his US stay as an engineering student. From David, l must say, l have learnt a lot. I have learned, for example, how to combine humiliy with inner strength; I have learned that, for everyone of us as humans, the boundary of possibility is extendable. I like and admire this man for his superlative combination of discipline, sense of responsibility and sense of enterprise. Please join me in celebrating with a community luminary, my kind, tough, industrious, gold-star brother-in-law, David Yebila Njafuh.

Bah Dae The miracle of your healing from the health crisis of 2022, makes you a living testimony of our times, on Gods promise and faithfulness to your likes for a heart that is filled with an inexhaustible and incessant flow of love for people. To this I can testify. The increasing strength and intensity in the bonding of our families over the last three decades is eloquent on the abundance of your love for family. You made of your beautiful wife, Na Jalla Justine, my twin sister. Tita Joachim became your constant telephone partner in sharing your concerns. Frida, you sent to me to become the most cherished baby in my home. Wakuna and Feh you embraced as kids of confidence in your family. What an imprint of an outstanding husband, father and confidant!!! Though the world today struggles with the vice of battered homes and wives, you have set a model for empowering a wife, and today many can bear witness of the outcome of
an empowered wife in the like of Na Jalla Justine Njafuh. Thank you for the opportunity to experience and bear witness of the indelible imprint of hope you and your empowered wife have placed in the lives of many. With unequalled dedication and passion, you both have invested in the lives of many who struggle with every aspect of their dreams and livelihood.

To our dearest Ni David, As I write this, I am filled with immense gratitude for the years of friendship and unwavering support you have given me. Your presence is a thread of gold in the tapestry of my life, shining brightly and steadfastly. You have been a pillar of strength from the beginning, always there to lend a listening ear, offer wise advice, or share a laugh. Your kindness and compassion to Ma Judith, and I have been a guiding light during our darkest days, and your joy and positivity amplified our happiest moments. Together, we have navigated the highs and lows of life. You have stood by us through trials and triumphs, always with a heart full of understanding and a spirit ready to uplift. Your belief in us has been a source of great strength, propelling us forward even when I doubted myself. I can never forget that moment when you encouraged Judith and sponsored her to start her education in the United States. Out of the art of your love and kindness, she has blossomed into a full woman today, and may the Lord bless you for being a guiding angel. More than just a friend, you have become family. Our countless memories, from the smallest shared moments to the grandest adventures, are treasures I hold close to my heart. Your unwavering support has taught me the true meaning of friendship and the profound impact it can have on one’s life. My family is endlessly grateful for our bond. Your generosity, loyalty, and love have enriched our lives in ways words cannot fully capture. As we continue this journey together, my appreciation for you grows with each passing day. Thank you for being the extraordinary friend and brother that you are. We are blessed to have you in our lives, and we look forward to many more years of shared dreams, laughter, and unwavering support. With all our love and gratitude.
