Your biography tells the story of a very kind and friendly person. You have gone too soon to continue sharing your blessings and serving friends, family and communities. I pray your kindness here on earth is rewarded with a place by God's right hand. May He comfort and console family you have left behind to mourn your death during these trial times. Fare thee well Shey.

I didn't know you much, saw you just once in my life time during the Fons visit in Mamfe and it's like I knew you many years back, this is so because of the dynamic and unique person that you were and you played a vital role in my crowning as a shey, may your journey home be peaceful and may our forefathers welcome you and together with them continue to watch over us the living. RiP Shey and may your legacy live on. Amen 🙏

"Daddy" as i usually call you, im still to believe that i won't be able to talk with you again. Still waiting for the day your darling wife will call me on phone and Say " that your daddy has started again" Thank you for the love, Care and respect you gave me despite the fact that you were an elder. Thank you for the times we shared together not forgetting when i visited you on the sick bed in Yaoundé, how we cracked jokes, laughed and ate together. It is God's will that you join the Saints so we can't question him. Rest on daddy. Ma Vi

Dear Shey, you have left us at time that we least expected. That fateful day when you called that we should visit the Priest, I expected to come and see you in bed. You rather walked to the car. When you asked Father Divine to anoint you, I did not understand. When you called me to get our daughter's admission in the dormitory, still I did not understand. Your commitment in the welfare of the Nso community of Atuazire has been telling. You have taught us to be devoted in the school of St. Joseph in CMA. You have shown us faith in God. You have run the race to finish. The crown of salvation is yours. St. Joseph, hold his hand let him not fall. Adieu Brother Francis. Buhnyuy.

You gave no one a last farewell, Nor ever said good-bye. You were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why, A million times we will miss you. A million times we will cry. If love alone could have saved you, You never could have died. In life we loved you dearly. In death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place, no one else can fill. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone, for part of us went with you, the day you passed away. We will meet again someday I know in a better place. I thank God He made you our brother While you were here on earth. You will be dearly missed my dearest brother.

" Daddy" as we usually call you and you joyfully respond "eeh Yaa Coo" "Eeh Eeh Shey Eti". You were'nt okay with only being a wonderful father, an incredible person, a role model, but you were inspirational to many, with your passion for culture and religion. You were a very clever person and could be introspective at times when there were serious decisions to be made in any social group you partake as a member. You never made rash decisions, but thought long and hard before giving sound advice that has helped to shape the lives of many profoundly. You were always saying that “life is too short to be hunched over a desk all your life, you must go out into the world and experience its beauty and learn its mysteries”. Oooh Daddy! We cherish the memories we had with you and know you're smiling down on all of us. We don't know how long it will take us to grieve this tremendous loss. Your legacy live on. À Dieu Daddy Mr/Mrs Awira Etien

Dear Shey Francis Banadzem or “Gun” as you were popularly known by your childhood friends. It is hard to believe that you are no longer with us. I am still hoping someone will wake me up from sleep and that I will realise that it is but a nightmare dream. But that is not likely to happen. When I started work in GTHS Bamenda as a young graduate from ENSET you were one amongst the people who received me in town and made my settling in very smooth. You were already an established businessman with a very promising future while I was still chasing dossiers in Yaoundé. I cannot imagine how my life would have been without your help at the time. I will forever cherish the glorious days we spent together. Many thanks again. There is never a good time to die and but yours has been at the prime of your life. Good things never last long they say. Fare thee well “GUN”, till we meet to part no more. Ghan Kijung Shey. Nsaidzedzee dze yir wan. Shhufai Woo Nsulong in tears.

Oh Know somebody tell me am dreaming, it's still feels so unreal to me that a great man like shey is no more. A man who has love for everyone irrespective of your status, level of property, or inyelligence, I am one of the few lucky people who met shey when his journey was almost ending and I can remember very vividly his words of encourage and his promise to me, that when he gets well and comes back to Bamenda he will come and searched for me, but as young as I was I never understood the word of an elder of his range and now I understand his words even more better just to say ashaii to my in-laws and to remind us as a seminarian that for the faithful people of God life is change not ended and I know sheey is now in heaven and permit me call him the great family interceder now all we can do even with the pain in our hearts is to pray for shey, shey Waka fine may your soul and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace Amen. 😭😭😭💐 Shey marko

My dear brother and friend Shey Banadzem fare ye well. I met you for the first time in the KONG meeting point and saw a jovial person whom every KONG member addressed provocative yet humourious words and you always had ready pleasing responses . In fact I always used your so well decorated Kiburu to attend mfuh sessions despite your high offices in the Ngiri circles . You assisted me a lot to gather tomatoes for export to my Nigeria customer in 2017/18 when your activities were slow . You had a very good tongue when you addressed those women whose stomachs were already falling with babies ready to join this sinful world. The Nso community in Bamenda especially the KONG group and the entire NSO traditional community at home ( Ngiri NSO, Ngiri NKAR , Ngiri KILUUN name them will miss you a lot but the legacy you have left will speak for YOU Ghan kijung

Shey Mothercare, go well, Ngang Kifa and may this earth we continue trampling on be light on you and ay the Lord and our ancestors grant you everlasting rest. You were a Man Shey, yes, a Man in all aspects: a Man of culture and of Religion, like the real Nso Man. You touched, and changed many with your warmth, sense of humour, courage, zeal, sociability and what have you. A Man with his ups and down, yes who doesn't have them, and you handles them all with strength and tact. Go well, Greet all our people ad tell them we are holding up the flag in spite of the turbulent and muddled waters. Let Nsii ye Yuv, the Heavenly Choirs lead you through the Heavenly Gates as St Joseph, our mentor and teacher waits to give you a seat by his side. Adieu, my good friend and brother.

Shey Banadzem, my longtime friend and brother, go well. Thanks to your last long voice message just before your last trip, I received the news of your demise with little shock. You touched many lives with your life, and changed many you touched. You were a true Nso man, a man of culture and of Religion. Your deep knowledge in many areas, your sense of humour, your determination and your social relations drew many to you. You were a Man with your own share of flaws; a Man of your statue and status could hardly go without them, but you managed your life with tact and strength. God certainly understands. Go Well as the choir of Angels ' Nsii ye Yuv' lines up at the Heavenly Gate to receive you. Greet our friends: George Jaff, Joe Wirsiy, Paddy Lamlenn, Jonas Dzelamonyuy, shey Christian, Shey Fidelis, Joseph Wirlen, Ajume Anthony and all for us; tell them we are keeping the flag up in spite of the turbulent and muddled waters. We kept praying and offering sacrifices for you. Adieu, my Man.

It's such a challenging task for me to pen this tribute because I'm still in shock & disbelief. You confided a lot in me and kept updating me about your health situation. I knew your prognosis wasn't good but I didn't see your demise coming this soon. Thank you for all the love, support and trust you gave me as a brother and during my entire reign as Nsobati President, Bamenda. You served Nsobati Bamenda with total commitment and dedication. Who will forget the great advisory role you played in our last elections just 2 months ago? Who would have imagined you were on the last stretch of your earthly journey? Your legacy will live on. Thank you Shey for everything. May our Heavenly Father reward you for your good works here on earth. RIPP, Taalav-wom.

Taa woo Shuundzev Jakiri, My own biological elder brother, my own best friend, my own father. If I am what I am today, it is because of you. You shaped my life and molded me to be a better person. You thought me wisdom and hard-work. You thought me good manners. You did everything that a loving father can do to a son to me. Where are you my handsome brother!!! Please Sheey, I am empty without you. I cannot hold the tears. Taa Mfoome, your only junior man is in tears. We share so much in common brother. Where are you? Rest In Peace my loving brother, friend, and father.
