A Portrait by Abidemi Olowonira
BB was introduced to me by a very good friend mine, Kangsen Feka Wakai, also from Cameroon. He told me about BB's influence on the Cameroonian and African literary world. I had read few of his poems and essays and was looking forward to meeting him one day.
Unfortunately this will not happen on this sorry earth... perhaps in AFTER-AFRICA.
BB will forever be missed in the realm of the young African pioneers and his legacy will forever remain with us. Su' n re o baba (sleep well baba).
Simply awesome. BB You have not yet exhausted your mourners. They continue to come from all corners of God's earth and their tears continue to flow in different colors. Today we witness tears on canvas....Ah BB!!
