After primary education in RCM School, Muabi and Ave Maria School, Bangem, Epie was admitted into St. Joseph's College, Sasse. He later read Agriculture in CCAST Bambili and then Journalism, English Language and Linguistics at the University of Yaounde, Cameroon's only university at the time. His journalism studies included a stint at the University of Western Ontario in London, Canada, and Michigan State University in Lansing, Michigan. As a journalist, Victor rose to Editor-in-Chief and TV Broadcast supervisor for Cameroon Radio Television - a career that put him at odds with the seamy side of state media policy, earning him a night with other colleagues in the Kondengi maximum security prison, and what he refers to as ten years in the garage - years when, for insisting on telling it as it is, he was paid but not allowed to work. During that time, he covered Cameroon for the BBC and later became a producer in Bush House as well as editor, writer or publisher for several newspapers and magazines. Upon retiring from active journalism, he took up media consultancy and training, alongside Civil Society activism in matters of governance, for which he founded an NGO called CIDI. Epie'Ngome is married and has three sons and two daughters.ver menos
