Former Lion, Mfede Back Home to Stay
The former midfielder of the Indomitable Lions returned to Cameroon after 10 years abroad.
Louis Paul Mfede, who Cameroonians fondly called "Féfé", is back in the country after 10 years abroad. He arrived in Cameroon on February 21, five days before his 44th birthday. After retiring from professional football in 1996, the former N° 10 of the National football team, took residence in Indonesia were he worked as coach of a football training school.
However, last February, the former midfielder of the Lions ran into problems with the Indonesian immigration authorities. He was detained by the immigration for two weeks before being released and deported to Cameroon, thanks to the intervention of his teammate Maboang Kesseck. "I heartily thank the Minister of Sports and Physical Education, the Roving ambassador and Samuel Eto’o Fils who facilitated my return to the country". The help of Eto’o was not just limited to the spontaneous gesture as he has plans to get Féfe fully settled in Cameroon.
Yesterday morning when we visited the ace footballer at his temporal home in a hotel in Yaounde, the atmosphere was convivial. A host of family members (spouse to be, four of his five kids, friends and relatives), were present to communion with their hero. It was in this family ambience that the football legend opened up to Cameroon Tribune. In a light-hearted manner, he talked about his life and projects, the Indomitable Lions and football in Cameroon.
From all indications, Mfede is happy to be back home and doesn’t think of leaving Cameroon again. "I feel good to be back. At times people leave their home and family and go out to seek better life. You only know what you are missing when you return home", he said while waggling to a beautiful Makossa rhythm in the hotel lobby. Mfede’s kids are following their father’s footprints.
The eldest boy already plays football in France, while Mfede Junior is in Semences Olympic, a football school in Yaounde. "He will certainly play better than me. He has a lot of talents", Mfede said.
