Martin Mungwa A patriot and an embodiment of humility June 18, 2017
When we arrived London on a cold autumn night on October 3, 1982, little did we know that Dr Omar Yembe would be at Heathrow Airport to receive us.  Charming and very fatherly, he took us in his car to London's Visitors hotel.  The following day, he took us a London Branch of BNP where we collected our stipends and  left for our respective  colleges. It was a seamless transition. I will never forget the love, affection and the sense of petriotism he instilled in us - reminding us that we were Cameroon's future and our mssion was to get that training and return home for nation building.  Dr Yembe was already a household name when I left Cameroon and  my brief encounter with him made me understand why so many people loved and respected him. He was an embodiment of humility and yet an extraordinarily brilliant person.  May his soul rest in Perfect peace.
Sommer Wilfried Rest in perfect peace, Omer! July 29, 2015
As a former lecturer at ENS Bambili I met him as Director Delegate of this institution.
At that time you were not only a colleague but also a friend whom I always remember.

God Bless you all.

Dr Omar Yembe was good man. He gave us education  - the greatest gift one can give to a people! He will foreever be remembered for his good works. In such a time of pain and sorrow, I would like to remind us all of  1st Thessalonians  4:13-14 " But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus". My prayers to the entire family!

EUGENE AND ESTHER TAWE A BIG MAN IS RESTING March 7, 2012
Once upon a time a very big man with a very big heart trod the paths of this lowly world
He trod the sprawling hills and plateaus of the chilling cold and interlocking grassland hills of Mbot
And the rolling meadows and humid forests of the coastal lush gardens at the foothills of Mount Fako
He spread his unflinching love for the education gem across the meandering shores of the Mungo
This big man had a big heart which he opened to all and sundry as wide as the doors of his homes
This big man had broad and sturdy shoulders strong enough to carry and nurture generations
This big man towered above many and yet was the temple of a gentle spirit now resting.
Go well big man. Go well daddy. You have done well. It is well with your soul.
Eugene and Esther Tawe
Kila F Tribute to Dr. Omer Yembe, March 5, 2012

Tribute to Dr. Yembe

We join the Yembe family in celebrating his life. First, in our grief let us remember that he was man. His devotion to the family is seen in the fact that he took his father to Sasse in order to take care of him. He and his wife raised several children and encouraged all of them to succeed in school. Second, Dr. Yembe was a friend to many people. He enjoyed spending time with his friends with whom he enjoyed lively conversations which Dr. Yembe always punctuated with his wit. He had the uncanny ability to get away with any joke or make you laugh out your mistakes as a way of saying do not take yourself too seriously. 

            Third, Dr. Yembe cultivated an enviable work ethic, dedicating his life to Cameroon education and to educating Cameroonians both in and outside the classroom. This is seen clearly from the fact that he served as director in several positions (most of his career). It took some one with a love of work and actualization of the virtue of work to accomplish the things he did. At the time when the GCE as we know it today almost ended, he and his friend Dr. Elias Nwana worked night and day, made several trips to Yaoundé to mount a rebuttal on the assault of the GCE. This fight earned Dr. Yembe the name an enemy of the state because he did not follow the plans to undermine the GCE system.

Fourth, Dr. Yembe and his wife Auntie Faustina remained faithful Catholics and were loyal to the Church throughout his life. As our friend Mr. John Kwang of Houston once remarked to me, “he left a strong record at Sasse, the famous Catholic High School. Although he was invited to the join the civil service, he never forgot his Catholic roots. He was the founding Chairperson of the Sasse Heritage Club whose patron is the Bishop of Buea.

Finally, but not least, Dr. Yembe loved and promoted Wimbum Culture. He and his wife gave up a house in Yaoundé for the branch of the Wimbum Cultural and Development Association (WICUDA). His many accomplishment have been recognized by His Royal Highness the Fon of Mbot. Three his children, Dr. Enaka Yembe and Mr. Fai Yembe hold important traditional titles in the Village of Mbot. Mr. Nginyu holds the title of Ta-Ngwang in the Nfuh, Dr. Enaka was crowned Maya (Queen Mother) and Fai was crowned Ta Shey. Thank you Dr. Yembe. We hope to join you some day and until that day, may the Lord you have served and your Wimbum ancestors bless and keep you.

They are in God's kingdom doing what they know how to do best - watch over you 24 hours a day.. Angels don't sleep you know..
 
 You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

It is well with his soul now indeed.. May Daddy's soul rest in Perfetc Peace..

Dear Omerine and Family, I may not have known dad personally but he is a dad just like every other dad. Whenever I look at my GCE Certificate and see that name on it, I think to myself Oh this is my friends Dad. He has begun a better life by our heavenly Father. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in perfect peace.
To you my dear Omerine, Take heart and be strong especially for our little angel. Know he needs you . Ur dad was born in January(i mean  your baby came in ontime to prepare your minds for the departure of your dad). Be strong and trust in God. I know what it means to loose a parent. I can feel the pain you are going through right now. All I can say is take heart and know he is in a better place.
RIP DAD.

May daddy's soul rest in perfect peace. I feel your pain cos I've been there not once, but it does not cancel out the fact that loosing a Father is tough. Keep your head up, think of the good times and God will  surely see you through. Accept my heartfelt condolences and I will keep you in prayers as you go through this. Ashia Vio
