He received baptism from the hands of Fr Michael de Rooy MHM, on the 18th of January 1982, First Holy Communion on the 15th of August 1988 from the hands of Fr Charles Acha and Confirmation in 1990, from Bishop Cornelius F. Esua all in St Theresia’s church, Vekovi.

His entire Primary education took place in Catholic School Vekovi between September 1984 and June 1992.

Towards the end of his Primary education, he felt called to the ministerial priesthood. After his First School Leaving Certificate in June 1992, he stayed at home for one year so as to wait for the beginning of St Aloysius’ Minor Seminary, Kitiwum (SAMS). For some reason, his plans to attend a Minor Seminary failed, but the desire to become a priest remained. His parents then (at the recommendation of the newly appointed Rector of SAMS) chose St Sylvester’s College Sop as an alternative to the Minor Seminary. There he did the entire secondary school between November 1993 and June 2000 and obtained both Ordinary and Advanced Levels General Certificates of Education (GCE).

At the end of his High School studies and with the help of the Vocations' Director (Fr Anthony Yilaka), he applied to undertake Seminary training for the Diocese of Kumbo. The necessary requirements having been met by August of 2002, Bishop Cornelius F. Esua (now Emeritus Archbishop of Bamenda) admitted him and sent him to begin with a year of Prospective Candidacy in Bishop Rogan College, Small Soppo – Buea (September 2000 to May 2001).

He was later admitted to St John Mary Vianney Spiritual Centre, Bafut for a year of Propaedeutic formation which lasted between October 2001 and June 2002. He then proceeded to St Thomas Aquinas’ Major Seminary (STAMS), Bambui, where he did the Philosophy Stage between September 2002 and June 2005 earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Philosophy. The next stage was the Pastoral Year Experience which took place the following year in St Joseph’s Quasi, Ndzevru.

At the end of this year, he returned to STAMS to embark on the Theology Stage, precisely, between September 2006 and June 2010 obtaining another Bachelor’s Degree in Theology. His diaconate ordination took place on the 29th of June 2009 in St Joseph’s Metropolitan Cathedral, Mankon and Priestly ordination in the premises of STAMS on the 9th of April 2010.

After seminary formation and priestly ordination, he has served in the following places and capacities: Curate and Manager of Schools in St John the Baptist Parish, Elak-Oku (2010-2012); Psycho-spiritual formation at L’Institut de Formation Humaine Intégrale de Montréal (L’IFHIM), Canada (September 2012 to June 2014); Formator at the Vianney Centre, Bafut (August 2014 to June 2016); Chancellor for the Diocese of Kumbo (June 2016 to August 2018); Studies at Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski’s University (UKSW) in Warsaw-Poland (October 2018 to February 2023) which earned him a Doctorate in Moral Theology; Currently, he is a Formator in STAMS Bambui (August 2023- ).
