The Life Of a Ngraffi Man by @hamza237 06/02/2025.

Hello @everyone, hope you all doing well and happy Thursday y'all. Heres a short story about "Ngraffi Land" (Bamenda) according to my studies.

The origin of Bamenda is related to the settlement of the Tikar people who culturally forged and maintained relations with the Kingdom of Bamum in the 1700s. Far back as 1884, the city of Bamenda was colonized by Germany until 1916 when it became a colony administered by Great Britain and France.

However, far back in 1919, the administration of the city of Bamenda became only British. In 1961, the region joined the Cameroon. The spoken language was and still presently used is English Language.

The city is made up of 3 villages as named Bamendankwe, Nkwen and Mankon named under Bamenda I, Bamenda II, and Bamenda III with its subdivisions.

Furthermore, in the Bamenda grassfield, we have agricultural products like coffee, maize, palm tree and palm kernels, beans, cocoyams, plantain amd cassava just to name a few.

We have products from palm trees like palm wine which is highly consumed by Bamendians🤭 so tasty and natural sweetness especially after a hard work and farm work😊.

Palm wine Tasty 😋

After a long journey, i decided to take my palm wine as a born breath Bamendian proud of who i am😊 i decided to share with you our little history.
