At The Launch Of Apostle Dr Ambe Valentine’s Book: Ntumfor Barrister Nico Halle Condemns People Who Leave What God Has Given Them, To Run After What Has Been Given To Their Brothers

At The Launch Of Apostle Dr Ambe Valentine’s Book:
Ntumfor Barrister Nico Halle Condemns People Who Leave What God Has Given Them, To Run After What Has Been Given To Their Brothers

Using his own case as an example, Halle recalled what happened when Northwest Fons gave him the title, NTUMFOR. Before then, the title was little known

But no sooner was Halle given the title that some NW politicians and a few Fons, met at the Bafmeng Palace in Menchum Division, and designated eight counterfeit Ntumfors

Their vicious intention was certainly to water-down the title given to Nico Halle by Northwest Fons

But Nico Halle says it is a man that makes a title great, and not vice versa

Halle advises people not to compare themselves with others – “DON’T MEASURE YOUR STEPS WITH OTHERS”

Nico Halle also attributes the misery of the population in Africa, to lack of Core Moral Values in the society. “INTELLECTUALISM WITHOUT SPIRITUALISM IS EMPTINESS”

The reputed peace crusader and international legal consultant, Ntumfor Barrister Nico Halle, who is also a very dedicated Christian as well as a crusader against corruption, embezzlement, hate speech and xenophobia, has asserted that each and every individual has his or her own specific talent given by God. He says that is why different people are good in different domains, professions or vocations.
He has pointed out that there are some people that God has given great talent in the medical field, great talent as lawyers, great talent in the teaching profession, great talent in engineering, great talent in sports, great talent in agriculture, great talent as motor mechanics, great talent as architects, great talent in music, great talent in journalism, great talent in driving, great talent in management, great talent in writing, great talent in building and construction, great talent in fishing, and so on , and so forth. Ntumfor Halle says that is why people belong to different professions or domains.
As for vocations, Ntumfor Nico Halle says there are people with special gifts from God to be pastors or priests, to be crusaders for peace and justice, to crusade against corruption, embezzlement, hate speech and xenophobia, discrimination and so on, all for the good of humanity and the society. He has noted as well that there are people with special gifts from God to be civil society leaders or activists, all for the good of humanity and the society.

Beyond Intellectualism

Ntumfor Barrister Nico Halle was speaking in Douala on March 9, 2024, at an occasion which held at Starland Hotel Bonapriso, for the launching of a book written by Apostle Dr Ambe Valentine Ngwa, titled: THE SOCIO – ECONOMIC, POLITICAL, SCIENTIFIC, MILITARY & SPIRITUAL EXPRESSIONS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. Ntumfor Halle, who was the Chairman of the book launch, focused his speech in line with the major focus of the book, which is, Beyond Intellectualism. That is going beyond intellectualism; going beyond degrees or educational qualifications.

“ Don’t Measure Your Steps With Others”

Meanwhile, Ntumfor Barrister Nico Halle in explaining that each individual has his own talent given by God, thus strongly advised people to desist from trying to measure their steps with others, that is, trying to compare themselves with others, or trying to do something because they have seen somebody do it. He reiterated that God gives each individual a talent in a particular professional domain or vocation, and so for one to try to compare himself with another person, is a wrong thing to do. Professional wise, Ntumfor Halle noted that he is a lawyer, and has been in the field for many years.
“I am a lawyer by profession. I am not an engineer, a medical doctor, a journalist, an architect, a farmer, a historian, a biologist, an accountant, a physician, a pilot, and so on, and I cannot pretend to be one. The talent that God gave me is to be a lawyer, and I have the civic responsibility to use that to contribute to nation building”.
As regard vocations, Halle asserted that: “I am a crusader for peace and justice. I am an anti – corruption crusader. I am a crusader against embezzlement, hate speech and Xenophobia. This is a gift or calling from God; that I should be a crusader for peace, justice among others, to work for the interest or good of humanity and the society. I am for example not a pastor and cannot pretend to be one. I don’t have that gift from God to be a preacher. My dear father was a preacher, but I am not. God gave him the gift to preach His words to the society for the good of humanity and the society. I cannot pretend to be a preacher or claim that I am a preacher, because my dear father, who is now of blessed memory, was a preacher or a Man – of – God. As far as vocation is concern, he had his own gift or calling from God, and God gave mine to be crusader for peace, justice etc”, Ntumfor Halle explained.

Running After What God Has Given To Others

Ntumfor Nico Halle in his speech thus reiterated his advice against people trying to measure their steps with others, for God has given each and every individual his or her own talent in one thing or the other. “God has given all of us talents. What we need to do is to understand and make out our different talents, appreciate them, develop them, and exploit them for the good of humanity and the society or the nation. Use the talent that has given you to work and contribute to nation building. We all have the civic responsibility to contribute in our different ways to the building of our nation. That is what God expects of us. That is what society expects of us”, he asserted.
Ntumfor Halle said the problem with some people in our society, is that they are often tempted to leave the talents or the gifts that God has given them, to instead run behind that given to their brothers or sisters. “Why leave the talent that God has given to you, to run or go after what has been given to others”, he questioned. He stressed that people should learn to appreciate and make good use of the talent God has given them as individuals, and not instead become envious of their brothers and sisters’ own talent or gift from God.

The Ntumfor Title

Using his own case as an example, Barrister Nico Halle recalled that some years ago he was given the Ntumfor title by Northwest Fons under the canopy of the Northwest Fons Union, NOWEFU. It should be noted that the Fons took into consideration all the several good things Nico Halle had done over the years for the Northwest Region, including the Northwest Fons Union. Worth noting also that the several good things that Halle did was not only material things like contributing generously to several development projects, but also included his peace crusading mission through which he helped reconciled many people and groups, including some Fons that were at logger heads with each other.
Also, the Ntumfor title given to Nico Halle by the Northwest Fons, was not just in appreciation of what he had done, but also as an encouragement to him to continue in his good work to humanity and the nation. Also worth noting that the Northwest Fons, who presented Barrister Nico Halle at a number of big public events in some towns in the country as their one and only Ntumfor, stated that as their Ntumfor, Nico Halle was their Spokesperson, Messenger and Ambassador. At the ceremony in Bamenda which took place at the Municipal Stadium, Fon Angwafor of Mankon on behalf of his colleagues (Fons), made the presentation of Barrister Nico Halle to the public, as the Ntumfor of Northwest Fons.

Attempts To Water-down The Ntumfor Title

Meanwhile, despite the fact that the Northwest Fons as a group clearly stated that Barrister Nico Halle was their one and only Ntumfor, as Fon Fobuzie came out later to reiterate, it unfortunately happened that after Halle was given the title, a small group of Northwest politicians and Fons, met at the Bafmeng Palace and appointed eight Northwest elites as Ntumfors. HRH Francis Aneng was then Fon of Bafmeng.
There was no doubt that the vicious intention of this small group of people, was to try to water – down or down play the Ntumfor title given to Halle by the Northwest Fons. But interestingly enough, seven out of the eight elite that were designated Ntumfors by the small group of ill – intentioned persons, tacitly gave up the title a couple of weeks later. They probably realized the evil intention of those who gave them that title.
It should also be noted that after Nico Halle was given the title of Ntumfor by Northwest Fons, a few other Northwesterners went to some palaces in small remote villages, and bought some counterfeited Ntumfor titles.

“It is A Man That Makes A Title Great, And Not Vice Versa”

Meanwhile Nico Halle in his speech at the March 9, 2024 ceremony in Douala, pointed out that the Northwest Region has over 1000 traditional titles, and questioned why the small group that met at the Bafmeng Palace in Menchum Division went only after the Ntumfor title that the Northwest Fons had as a group given to him. He asserted that it is a man that makes a title great and not vice versa.
He reiterated that each individual has his talent that was given by God, and so even if 1000 people are designated Ntumfors, they will not or will never become Nico Halle, just as he too will never become another person. Nico Halle who as aforementioned, is a very dedicated Christian, repeated what he often says that the title which he cherishes the most, that is, the title that is closest to his heart; the title that he has committed his life to maintain at all cost, is that of being a Christian.

Lack Of Core Moral Values

Meanwhile, looking again at one of the major mission of the book written by Apostle Ambe Valentine, which is, Beyond Intellectualism, Ntumfor Barrister Nico Halle asserted that Africa is a very blessed continent in terms of natural and human resources. But he said that paradoxically, Africa is the poorest of the continents in the world. “The reason is not the lack of education, schools or intellectualism. Generally speaking, the problem is the absence of Core Moral Values in our African society or countries”, Halle declared. He said core moral values include love for humanity, incorruptibility, accountability, genuine patriotism, transparency, fairness, peace loving, consideration for others, ensuring justice for all, speaking and standing for the truth. Values that make somebody be a man of a high moral rectitude.
Ntumfor Halle regretted that that unfortunately corruption, embezzlement of public funds, looting and plundering of State resources by unscrupulous persons, are in general rift Africa. Thus a few in a society loot and plunder State resources with the complicity local or foreign accomplices, to the detriment of the population or masses of these countries that wallow in abject poverty or misery.
Halle thus asserted that while there are quite a number of good intellectuals in Africa or in African countries, many intellectuals in Africa are of no good to the continent or to their countries, because they lack core moral values; they are not people of high moral rectitude, they lack spiritualism. “INTELECTUALISM WITHOUT SPIRITUALISM, IS EMPTINESS”, Halle insisted. He asserted that somebody imbued with core moral values, somebody who is of high moral rectitude, or somebody who is spiritually strong, will not indulge in ills like corruption, embezzlement of public funds, or the looting and plundering the country’s resources.
