Gemi "Jeff" Tutuana (born 20 March 1982) is a Congolese footballer who currently plays for Enosis Neon Paralimni in Cypriot First Division.
Tutuana start playing soccer in a club called Japatra in the Congo. He played there from 1997-1999, then moved to a bigger football club called AS Vita Club, where he played from 2000-2002.
After that, he tried his luck in Belgium with one of his friends from Vita Club called Nsumbu Mazuwa, but the two didn't pass the tests of the Belgian football clubs and had to use an offer that they had from Israel and were signed by Hapoel Haifa in 2003. They played together in Haifa from 2003 to 2005; during those years they won the Second Division and helped the team to reach the Israeli Premier League. However, after one season the team was relegated to the Second Division after finishing in last place.
Later he moved to Beitar Jerusalem FC who wanted him since the last season was over. He scored 4 goals in 19 games, suffered from a serious back injury and was released after one season and replaced by Spanish striker David Aganzo.
After his released he went to France to see his newborn daughter (his first child) and after he got his strength back he decided to train with the AS Saint-Étienne team. He then returned to Israel and was signed by FC Ashdod but almost was signed by AS Cannes, whose coach Luis Fernandez was the former coach of Beitar who had released Totuana but wanted to see him plays for AS Cannes.
