When he was very young, his parents separated and his mother remarried another DR Congo man. The two decided to move to Pounga-Mvouti, province of Kouilou in the Congo Republic, taking little Raymond with them.
In the Congo Republic, Raymond was naturalized and became a Congo Republic citizen. With this new nationality, he could attend school in Mvouti, graduate from high school in Pointe-Noire, and get a scholarship to Warsaw City in Poland to continue his studies at Polytechnic of Warsaw.
Raymond studied at the department of chemistry and chemical technology, where he earned, with honors, a master’s degree in chemistry and organic technology. He also pursued new studies and research at the department of chemical engineering and process engineering, where he defended with distinction his PhD thesis and was granted a PhD in chemical engineering and process engineering.
In 1992, after his studies in Poland, Raymond went back to Brazzaville in the Congo Republic, where he stayed until 1994. But because he could not find a job there, he decided to go to Kinshasa in the DR Congo, his native country.
In Kinshasa he was hired as associate professor at the Superior Institute of Applied Techniques (ISTA). He was immediately nominated vice dean of the second level of studies in ISTA. A few years later he became dean of the mechanical department.
During the same period, he was hired as a part-time professor at the Superior Institute of Public Works and Construction (IBTP) in Kinshasa and at the University of Kinshasa. He was also a visiting professor at the University S. Kimbangu in Kinshasa and at the University of Bas-Congo.
Because of his political views and opinions, he was forced to leave Kinshasa and the DR Congo. He went to Los Angeles, California, where he has lived for eleven years with his wife and two daughters.
As a man living with a political asylum status in the United States, Professor Ngoma is working on his political vision for his country, the DR Congo. He believes there is a better way to solve the conflict in the DR Congo. He hopes to see the DR Congo become really free, really democratic, and prosperous as a country in Africa. He hopes the DR Congo will play an important role in the promotion of peace; social, cultural, and economic development; and cooperation in the world.ver menos
