Kengmo Marie Ida, a Cameroonian woman from Bafang, Haut Nkam, found herself in a state of uncertainty for the past six years in Nigeria. She had traveled there seeking spiritual deliverance from the stagnation in her life. Ida had visited the Synagogue, Church of All Nations (SCOAN) under the leadership of the late Prophet TB Joshua, hoping to find a solution to her problems. Despite the Prophet’s advice for her to stay, tragic events unfolded as he unexpectedly passed away in June 2021. This left Ida stranded in Nigeria, unable to return home as she had lost all her identification documents, phone, and ID cards.
Ida’s predicament sheds light on the challenges faced by individuals seeking spiritual guidance in foreign lands. It serves as a reminder for those considering such journeys to be prepared with necessary documentation and support systems prior to traveling.
Despite her dire situation, there might be a glimmer of hope for Ida’s return to Cameroon. After failed attempts to contact the Cameroon Consulate General in Lagos via phone, an email was sent detailing Ida’s situation. The Consulate’s response, though informally written, indicated a willingness to assist Ida in obtaining emergency travel documents if she could reach their office with a handwritten application specifying her needs.
However, uncertainties persist regarding how Ida will manage to travel to the Consulate in Lagos without funds or identification. The specifics of the documentation required and the process involved in her return remain unclear.
This case emphasizes the vital role of consular support for Cameroonians abroad. It is imperative for the Cameroonian Consulate General in Lagos to provide clear information on their services for citizens facing similar situations on their website. Additionally, Ida’s friends and family in Cameroon are urged to support her in reaching the Consulate and ultimately returning home.
In conclusion, Ida’s story serves as a call to action for enhanced consular assistance and support systems for nationals in distress abroad. It highlights the importance of preparedness and awareness when seeking spiritual guidance in foreign countries to avoid unforeseen challenges like the one faced by Ida.
