Brief Message on the Passing of Dr. Bongasu Tanla-Kishani, Pioneer Chancellor of Saint Monica University (SMU), Buea.

It is with the deepest regrets that I have learned of the passing of Dr Bongasu Tanla-Kishani, Pioneer Chancellor of Saint Monica University, Buea. I just got the sad news on the eve of this Commencement Ceremony and while on a trip to Mexico.

Dr. Andrew Bongasu Tanla-Kishani, a celebrated philosopher and poet, was not only the supervisor of my Philosophy dissertation, but more importantly, my mentor and the first Chair of the Board of Regents or Chancellor of this great university. The SMU community is saddened by his passing into eternal glory. We extend our heartfelt condolences and prayers to the bereaved family.

Let us stand for a minute of silent prayer for him and his family... May his soul and those of all the faithful departed rest in perfect peace. Amen!

Prof Januarius Asongu
Founder and Chancellor of SMU

InIn Memoriam: Prof. Bongasu Tanla-Kishani, Philosopher and Award-Wining Poet
By Prof. Januarius J. Asongu
Founder of Saint Monica University, Buea.

Reflecting on the life of late Professor Andrew Bongasu Tanla-Kishani is like going back to the golden age of Greek philosophy (the 5th century BC), where ideas rioted upon the earth and the great philosophers were kings.

As a scholar of international repute, “King” Bongasu governed his subjects, scattered across the globe, in both poetry and prose, and in languages as diverse as English, French, Italian, Spanish, German…, and most importantly, his native Lamnso. Like many prophets, but unlike another son of Nso, Prof. Bernard Nsokika Fonlon (Shufai Ntoondrev) who was famously described as “Socrates in Cameroon,” Bongasu’s kingship was never officially recognized in his Nso homeland with a “Shufaiship.”

Yet, Bongasu’s reign will endure forever in his books, which included Konglanjo: Spears of Love Without Ill-Fortune (1988/2010) and A Basket of Kola Nuts (2009) both written in English, and Kpu e Go’ e Njem (1998) and Mfi’ Se Tan (1999) both written in his native Lamnso. While the aforementioned texts highlight his poetic ingenuity, his articles in such reputable journals as Présence Africaine (where he was an editor), Loquitur, Quest: Philosophical Discussions, African Studies Review, Abbia: Cameroon Cultural Review, among others, took him beyond literary flamboyance to the realm of philosophy, where he established a bona fide reputation as an African philosopher.

I was not surprised to learn that weeks before he passed on to eternity, he was attempting to update an article, originally written in Spanish, and published in the 1980s on the topic of eugenics. This not only reveals that he remained a philosopher even unto death, but that his philosophy, though Afro-centric was universal in appeal. Although I haven’t had the privilege of reading the article, eugenics is an area of mutual interest as bioethicists. It aims at improving the genetic quality of a human population, and historically, eugenicists have attempted to alter human gene pools by excluding people and groups judged to be inferior or promoting those judged to be superior. The concept predates the term, as Plato (c400 BC) is known to have suggested the selective breeding to humans. Today, eugenics is closely associated with scientific racism, while modern bioethicists who advocate new eugenics characterize it as a way of enhancing individual traits, regardless of group membership. Eugenics has seen a revival in bioethical discussions on the usage of new technologies such as Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) and genetic screening, with heated debate around whether these technologies should be considered eugenics or not. These were the type of discussions I used to have with him over thirty years ago in the Anselmian spirit of faith seeking understanding.

I am humbled to be counted among Prof. Bongasu Tanla-Kishani’s students. I first encountered this eccentric, but versatile character on the pages of Abbia in 1990, while I was studying for the Catholic priesthood at St. Thomas Aquinas Major Seminary, Bambui. I was inspired by the fact that he was a former seminarian who had studied at Bigard Memorial Seminary, Enugu, Nigeria, and one of the pontifical universities in Rome. I then quickly familiarized myself with his vast contributions to philosophy and literature. I also took advantage of the fact that he was on the faculty of the nearby School of Education in Bambili (popularly known as ENS) to establish a personal relationship with him. The dividends of our friendship have been enormous, despite the age gap of 26 years – born in 1944 he is about my dad’s age! I am privileged to call him my mentor and friend, although we were separated by distance and had not communicated since 2015.

Prof. Bongasu Tanla-Kishani accepted and diligently guided me as an unofficial supervisor of my Bachelor of Philosophy dissertation from the Pontifical Urbanian University entitled The Problem of National Unity in Cameroon: A Politico-Philosophical Appraisal (1993). Out of profound respect for his intellectual and moral integrity, I named him the President of Saint Monica University (SMU), Buea, during the inception phase in 2012. However, following its official creation in 2013, and my decision to return to Buea to personally run the university, we agreed to swap positions, where he became the Chancellor and Chair of the Board of Regents, while I became the President and Chief Executive Officer. He then served as the pioneer Chancellor of SMU from 2013-2015. In recognition of his scholarship and contribution to SMU, the university will be renaming its Presidential Scholarship as the Prof. Bongasu Tanla-Kishani Scholarship.

Although it was his philosophical ideas that endeared me to him, I had no doubts that I was communing with an African literary giant, having won the 1990 Asso
