Pieces of Dreams: A Memoir

About this ebook
highest grade in the Cameroon civil service. His journey, punctuated by impediments, takes him from walking four miles every school day to the nearest elementary school in another village to studying in the Loughborough Cooperative College, England.
Dreams are a powerful subject in Makias autobiography, and the book emphasizes the authors deep spiritual connection with God and with his family. His constant communication with his late parents, especially his mother, through dreams becomes an awakening to him and a validation that the dead are, in fact, not far removed from the living; the dead have merely transitioned into another realm and can speak to the living at will through the pipeline of dreams.
William Ebot Makia
In 1953, William Ebot Makia completed his secondary school education at Basel Mission College in Bali after taking the Senior Cambridge School Certification Examination. He worked for a while in the Cameroon Development Corporation. Later, he studied in the Cooperative College Ibadan, Nigeria, and in the Loughborough Cooperative College, England. In the Ministry of Agriculture in Cameroon, he rose from inspector of Cooperative to director of Cooperative Services. And from 1980 to 1987, he was general manager of South West Farmers Cooperative Union (SOWEFCU). While managing SOWEFCU Ltd, Makia was promoted to Principal Civil Administrator Special Class—the highest grade in the Cameroon civil service. After he retired as a civil servant in Cameroon in 1987, the World Bank employed Makia as an expert on cooperative development and assigned him to assist in the development and/or improvement of the cooperative components of four African countries: Burundi, Guinea Conakry, Cameroon, and Namibia. In December 1955, he married Martina Efu, and the couple have been together ever since (over fifty-nine years). They had five children: three sons—Dr. Asek Makia, pediatrician and allergist/immunologist; late Eyong Makia, chemical engineer; Mr. Tabi Makia, civil engineer— and two daughters—Mrs. Banyo Ndanga, pharmacist, and Mrs. Abit Oben, lawyer. All of their children obtained their advanced degrees in the United States.
