Musing Derick T-Inaiz - Backup

I’ve been making too many lemonades lately. Now I’m thinking, what is even worth it?
Happy Sunday mi familia. Been a while.

💔 The past few days have been unbearably heavy. I’ve remained silent, motionless, still in disbelief… Two giants in my life left on the same day, and my heart struggles to carry the weight.

Besseck Ba Khobio — an icon of Cameroon and African cinema. Since 2009, when my first film was selected at ECRANS Noirs, you’ve been more than a mentor—you became a father figure, a constant source of encouragement. Just two months ago, you drove all the way to my training venue in Yaoundé, simply to lift me up. That memory now feels like a final gift. My heart is broken, but your fire will forever burn in me.

Alex Ekubu — you left the stage far too soon. Your jovial spirit, your kindness, your laughter still echo in my mind. I replay our last phone call, the truth in your voice, the strength you carried even when I didn’t know it was goodbye. I’ll miss you, brother, more than words can hold.

Two lights gone, yet their glow will never fade. Rest well, legends. 🕊️

Some men do more than stand beside you—
they remind you each day that within you lies no shadow, only light waiting to rise.
They never let you dream alone; they breathe vision into your dreams, turning them into horizons worth chasing.

They do not spell sacrifice with words—
they walk through fire with aching souls,
just to prove love is stronger than pain.

Brother, you have been that truth to me.
If you could peer into my heart,
you would see flames of love and gratitude
burning at every corner of your being.

If “thank you” were enough,
then language itself would not falter.
But since words fail, I lift prayers instead—
a million blessings whispered to God
as you step into this new age.

Happy birthday, my brother .
As we always say: let us watch the tree grow—
and grow you shall, in strength, in wisdom, in grace.

I cherish you. I love you brotherly.
Like fine wine, your spirit only deepens,
and with every year, you become rarer, richer,
more unforgettable.

During the just ended .a.m.i.f.f 10th Anniversary, I had the opportunity once again to trickle down the little I know. As a facilitator, we talked about cinema and technology. We equally facilitated an insightful Film and Business workshop alongside CRTV’s and tech guru
