Located in the
North West Region of Cameroon, Bambui is the administrative headquarters of
Tubah sub-Division. Popularly known to the natives as “abeh-mbeuh”, this
tropical African kingdom is a jewel in the crown of the grassfields of Cameroon
and, indeed, a place to be for anyone that wants to have a good flavour of African
life. With its lush, rolling, and fertile plains, a mild tropical climate, and
an extremely industrious farming community, Bambui is the bread basket of the
North West Region in particular and of Cameroon in general.
Lying snug in the immense arms of the Sabga hill, Bambui is neatly
enfolded between Sabga and the undulating foothills that separate the kingdom
with its neighbours (Bambili, Bafut,nkwen, small and big babaki)--virtually in
the shape of a bowl. It is located at the cross-roads that lead to some of the
regions major towns of Bamenda, Ndop, Kumbo, Fundong, and Nkambe
With its strategic location, excellent road infrastructure, and a galaxy
of educational and religious institutions, Bambui is metamorphosing into a
metropolis, but without compromising its cultural identity
Culturally and administratively, Bambui has remained a kingdom in its
own right. Ruled by a Fon, it is made up of the sub-fondoms. It is also a
powerhouse for indigenous African healing. In fact, the culture, touristic
sites, and diversity of the people account for the beauty and charm of the
fondom..
We
belief that sharing with those that matter to us constitutes a major force in the bond that
keeps the village ever united. I’m proudly one.
!!!!!!! Welcome to the land flowing with milk!!!!!!!.
In the
heart of Cameroon’s economic capital and many other big towns, remain a few of
these buildings, sandwiched between clusters of modern-day structures. Within
their walls, columns, windows and doors are vivid encryptions of long forgotten
stories- those stories and tales that tell our history, the history of today’s
” kamer”.
Recently,I have been amazed and thrilled by the aged structures of which lie vulnerably unprotected and fast wilting away .
Though the old buildings are just a few, nevertheless they still conspicuously document the presence of German and English missionaries who might have dwelt in the community in ancient past. The type of architecture depicted in the building roofs, columns, staircases, doors and windows suggests one which has been associated with the colonial era.
It is therefore important to note that these types of objects/structures constitute great historical value and touristic potential to their host communities as well as the nation at large.
Cameroonians and the government must make efforts to conserve
historical structures such as these, especially the ones locked up in the rural
areas, because in such places lie more of our culture undiluted.
History is sweet, history enriches. He who despises history makes mockery of his own future. People with bad hind sights always lack good foresight.
Cameroonians must begin to place more value on and begin to learn history. Maybe there are some big lessons to learn; maybe we need to be reminded of those values that held and sustained the society during the days of our ancestors; maybe the way forward for Cameroon is better understood by looking back, maybe… maybe…..
Nevertheless, one truth remains; great economic potentials are locked up in our historical artifacts and objects, and until we begin to appreciate history and salvage these wrecking assets of inestimable worth, our Nation’s tourism industry as well as its staggering economy will never attain its full potential.
