Littoral Remains the Backbone of DADA National

-Anthony Ndikaka Soge

Anthony Ndikaka Soge, one of the major assembling forces among Djottin people in the Littoral Region has unequivocally stated that DADA Littoral remains the backbone of DADA National and has called on Djottin people in the Littoral to heighten their commitment in contributing towards development initiatives in Djottin. These declarations were made recently in a press chat with Noni Herald Newspaper in Douala.

Mr. Ndikaka Anthony

Mr. Anthony Ndikaka Soge intimated that Djottin people in the Littoral Region were more united now than ever before. DADA Littoral he explained had greatly increased. Hear him; “at first we used to have only one DADA branch in Bonaberi. Today we have eight active branches in the Littoral Region. These include Compinya, Souza, Bonaberi Bali, Airport, Edea, Massoubou, and PK 30 Carrefour Tonder.  We also have two active Women and  Youth Wings. Above all if you happen to go to these various areas that I have mentioned you will notice that there are family meetings and even Quater  meetings”.

In a message to the newly elected National President of DADA, Anthony Ndikaka Soge advised that as a leader she should learn to accept criticism and become a better leader never retaliating to criticism. “I advise the DADA National President to listen more and talk less. She should listen to everyone and should never manifest anger.”

He further stated that Joint DADA Littoral has  been the backbone of DADA National for decades and has always contributed in all development projects or initiatives back in Djottin. Amongst other things he mentioned the just ended DADA Elective Congress in Yaounde during which  Littoral contributed financially. He equally referred to the back to school project which was initiated by the new President Mrs.  Mary magdalene Nyanyoh Tar.

Contributions from DADA Littoral for Development fund and water levy has always been collected and sent in during National Congress sessions.

Mr. Ndikaka explained that money is regularly raised during fundraising initiatives which always come up annually in the month of July. During this annual rendezvous, an amount is always voted by the General Assembly to support development initiatives back home in Djottin.

He however regretted the fact that  DADA Littoral had not carried out this annual exercise for  passed seven years because of the prevailing security situation in the North West Region.

Quizzed on the major challenges of DADA Littoral he said one of the major challenges was the low turnout in some of the branches.

Another challenge he said was the fact that some families hold their meetings on the same day as DADA Littoral. This problem he said could be solved if families reschedule  their meetings.

The immediate challenge being faced now he said was the construction of the DADA Littoral Hall. “It must be mentioned here that we are through with the foundation and our next target is to raise money and start erecting the walls. I am pleading with each and everyone to support this project for it is DADA National property.”

Mr. Ndikaka said for DADA to become a better organisation, it needed to be restructured from the branches to national office.

He equally suggested the introduction of contribution cards further explaining that people could be levied according to the quality of their jobs and pay packages. Contribution cards could therefore be classified in categories such as; working class, non working class, students amongst others.

A sensitization campaign on the importance of donations to development needed to be carried out among Noni people he said.

“It is the backbone to community development  and we need to creat awareness in people about donating.  That is why project realization is very slow. Our people don't yet know how to donate. We donate to create an impact and not to fulfill an obligation” he said.

 He further called on all Noni to stand as one in order to accelerate development.
