DAIRY GAME 21/04/2021 DISCOVER BAMENDA: AND THE TOURIST SITES OF THE REGION

I salute every steamer. Hope your day is going well. Welcome again to my diary to feed your eyes on how my day going after visiting some tourist site around our city Dear Diary you can see my today visit below. The origins of the city are related to the establishment of the Tikar people who joined the Kingdom of Bamum in the 1700s. In 1884, the city was colonized by Germany until 1916 when it became a colony administered by Great Britain. In 1919, the administration of the Northwest Region and thus the city of Bamenda became only British.
Bamenda, also known as Abakwa and Mankon Town, is a city in northwestern Cameroon and the capital of the Northwest Region. The city has a population of about 600 000 people and is the 4th ranked city of Cameroon.
