Cameroon from where I get my heritage of diversity and identity.
I identify with the pygmies of the south and their characteristic “Bouma” dance moves.
I join in the annual “Ngondo” festival of the coast
witnessing team spirit and determination.
Moving to the northwest and adorning with the famous “toghu” regalia and tasting of their characteristic “Khati Khati” and Achu meals.
I take shelter in the thatched houses of the Bamileke people depicting all forms of simplicity.
We thank the gods for their gifts to our motherland joining our voices with theirs from the top of the mount Cameroon to the twin lakes of Koupe manegouba. From the banks of the river wouri to that of the Logone up north.
We unite in Cameroon, Africa in miniature.
