WHERE IS OUR Mr. SMITH OF LONDON?

WHERE IS Mr. SMITH OF LONDON? This personality was a force to be reckoned with in the Cameroonian community in Britain when our now defunct Cameroon Airlines, the national air traffic carrier at the time, was still in business. Mr. Smith was then in charge of the London agency of the company. That was not all. He was also beloved by the numerous Cameroonian travelers who used the airline. Usually passengers who traveled with considerable luggage would shy away from being checked in by the fares and ticketing staff ready and waiting at the counter. When asked to move forward and be attended to, they would instead move backwards and say, “No, I`m waiting for Mr. Smith to come”. I don`t know how Mr. Smith managed it but it appears he was always able to solve everyone`s problem such that when it was take off time, all were on board and flew away. So many years have passed and today Cameroon Airlines has been replaced by a new company, CamAir-Co. But where is our Mr. Smith today? I wonder. Does any Cameroonian currently in the United Kingdom know the answer?
