The rest of the family

In Ndongo, Lydien and Agbor came into the family when both of them were about going to college.Lydien, is the second child of my mother before she met my father.Agbor, was her third child.My mother had a son also, named Ayuk, who did not live with us.He was the first child of my mother and he lived in then Victoria, now called Limbe.Ayuk, who is now of late visited us occasional.He was at the time,the star member of the family.He decided to end his education after primary school and concentrated on making a living on his own at a very early age.He played soccer very well,mainly during "inter quarter" competition back then in Limbe.So my mother and father met when she already had three children from previous relationships and he had also three child from different marriages.Helen, my father,s first daughter lived with us until she got married.Helen,is now of late.After being married and having all her children,she had decided to go make a living in Gabon.She was to get sick there and later died while I was in the US.She is buried right in front of our compound in Besongabang,Mamfe.Dennis, my father's first son was already in Presbyterian Secondary School Besongabang at this time and we saw him only during the holidays.Agi, my father,s third child was just two years older than me and lived with us in Ndongo.We both attended the same primary school.I was the first child of the marriage between Mr and Mrs Tambe.Lydien had gotten admission into Okoyong Secondary School in Mamfe, while Agbor, had admission into the legendary St Joseph,s college of Sasse.They joined us in Ndongo shortly before leaving for their secondary school education.The last member of our family is called Betek, he was born in the year 1970 while we were in Ndongo.It is always a happy moment when a new member is welcomed into the family.Betek was very fair in complexion and lot of people just loved him.He was very sick in his early days and we had some concern moments when we taught he was not going to make it.There is an age difference of four years between Betek and Charles & Ebenezar,the twins who he follows.This because my mother had a set of twins who did not make it out of the hospital.They passed away shortly after birth.My mother had earlier lost a set of twins, who had passed away shortly after birth.My middle name,Nkongho,means somebody who follows twins. I and Agi, my elder sister, started and completed our primary school education in Ndongo.Olivia, my immediate follower, Charles and Ebenezar, the twins, started in Ndongo primary school, but were to finish their primary school education later at Government School Upper Cu stains, when we were later transferred to Tiko.
