In just his first year of blogging, he was able to raise a million francs cash in his hands. Fuchor was marvelled at the turnout of this venture which he had engaged in due to financial challenges in the University.
Fuchor, is an award winning Cameroonian blogger, promoter and influencer. Christened Lekeaka Destiny Alemnge he goes by the artistic name spelt Fuchor and pronounced future.
The Cameroonian youth had always wanted to lead in the dance called life. And through his influence, to dispense positivity as he affirmed during the radio talk, Wireless Connection hosted by Nche Buzie.
“It has always been my desire to be in a position where I talk and many people listen. Not for the stardom that comes with it, but to use my platform and pass out positive messages which create impact in my community. I wished to get to this place where I can call out the wrong, give shout-outs, support people and humanitarian activities” he noted as he gives himself the agama node, “It actually feels good to know that I have achieved this dream to a big extend.”
A second child of three males, Lekeaka Destiny Alemnge is from a broken home. Through his schooling days he was determined to succeed as he made excellent results. The lover of the arts of drawing and singing didn’t aspire to tell stories on the social media about entertainers someday.
With a lot of determination, he had enrolled into the University of Buea to study Accounting. Though his educational background was Art inclined and not Commercial.
He studied A4 in High School and was determined to make a career around figures. This was not until the waves of inadequate resources hit hard considering the nature of his background which was average.
Being in the university, he needed a computer, numerous hand outs and text books which he had no resources to purchase. Due to his desire for good grades he revised his plan to hustle and become self-reliant before enrolling again. This left him with no option but to drop out of university and get working.
As it is commonly said, every problem is a business. Fuchor says “I enjoyed the idea of putting people out to get a bigger audience. I felt that they are a lot of talented artists that have to be promoted on a decent platform. While still rapping, I created my first blog, while in the University of Buea.”
Fuchor, the web blogger first began as a rapper and soon engaged into online journalism and public relations. “Before getting into blogging I used to rap. For now I don’t think I will go back to music because of the milestone I have been able to achieve. Blogging needs a lot of attention so basically I cannot share blogging with any other thing because any other thing will serve as a distraction.” He underscores.
In Anglophone Cameroon, Fuchor represents the class of successful bloggers and influencers whose consistency has gathered a noble online following and an onsite excitement when he shows up. The journey has however been tedious.
“Getting into the blogging sphere, one of the main challenges I faced was growing my platform. It is not easy to grow a Facebook page though that is where most Cameroonians are, talk less of Instagram or a Twitter page. I had to think a lot of times, what am I going to do for people to follow my page and believe in my brand. In those early days money wasn’t coming that much. I could only use the little I had to do basic things like eat and put data.”
The online artistic talent however made a walk through. The magic of reaching and linking up Cameroonians across the board is tied to enormous years of work and constant assistance from those who were ahead.
“What helped me to get to the spotlight are my colleague bloggers like Zamani, Ndicho Boris, Victor Kange, 237 palava, Fon Noel, J Martin Promo and a lot more who gave me shout outs and kept talking about me and what I do. Doing this, they were able to also get their followers to start following me. On my end, I ensured to work very hard so when the followers visit my page they won’t think it’s an empty hype.”
Today, counting about 70,000 followers online, he functions deals with Cameroon’s top musicians like Stanley Enow and even institutions like Orange Cameroon, The ICT University amongst others.
In the humanitarian sphere, he sorts out needy people and turns the light on them which brings about help from his community of followers.
His most remarkable experience in that was telling of a young boy hawking who offered his lunch to his favorite comedian meeting him on the street. This turned to be massive as the child and his family were shown enormous material support. Fuchor’s touch of positivity in handling stories makes all the difference. “Through my page you will discover I don’t share anything controversial or negative.”
