CAMEROON

1. Brief History of Cameroon

Once upon a time, a sailor called Hanno, while going from coast to coast; he arrived at an unknown destination which he found very special. After spending some time at the coast, he heard a strange sound like water boiling in a pot. It was an intense eruption decided to name this place “Le Char des Dieux” which is now called Mount Cameroon.

In 1472, some years later, Fernando Po a Portuguese sailor stopped by that

coast. This time he discovered a lot of crayfish and he named that place “Rio dos

Camaroes”, meaning “River of Prawns” and from which the name “Cameroon”

was founded, to describe our humble nation.

In 1884, the Douala chiefs signed a treaty with Germans and it became a German

colony, but during the First World War, when the Germans withdrew from the war,

Cameroon was divided between France and Britain making Cameroon both a

French and English colony.

In 1958, the French colony became autonomous and gained its independence on

the 1st of January 1960, under the leadership of H.E (His Excellency) Ahmadou

Ahidjo (Cameroon’s first president).On the other hand the English colony gained

its independence on the 1st of October 1961.

The two colonies became united after a referendum on the 20th of May 1972. This

united Cameroon was still under the leadership of H.E Ahmadou Ahidjo, who

latter gave up his presidential sit on the 6th of November 1982 H.E Paul BIYA.

Cameroon, this year celebrated its 50th anniversary of Independence, like many

other African Countries. Others national days are l:

Unification day: 20th May

Youth day:11th February

Labour day: 1st may

The motto is: Peace-Work-Fatherland

The currency is FCFA

Cameroon is looked on as Africa in miniature because

more than two hundred ethnic groups such as the

Pygmies, Bantus, Sudanese, and Arab-Berbers make up

the profuse artistic and cultural heritage of Africa

contributing its own unique traditions, art and music to

form an extraordinary mixture of culture and art.

The “Ngondo”,“ Mpo'o” ,”Nguon” and

magic, disguise and canoe races. Here, we have

Everything adds up to perpetuate age-old traditions and rites of the

African continent.
