If you’re moving to Bamenda you’ll have to mind your own business. You don’t call off the shots there. Just stay put and avoid walking around. It isn’t safe to do so. Limit anything that could bring up suspicions of being against the separatists fighters. French shouldn’t be a language you should speak in public. It’s a ghost town, better stay indoors.

If you’re moving to the North West you’ll be marveled with the relief and the beautiful culture of the people. It is known to be the bread basket of the country with a variety of food such as plantains, vegetables, rice and many others. It is unique in its characteristics and it is known for being the best region when it comes to education in the country.

My city is an urban city, having a commercial street or avenue. There is the main market and several small markets are also available. The city is an academic center with schools and institutions. However, there are good tourist sites to visit and have a great time. Couple with numerous restaurants and places of entertainment.

The weather is cold and make provision for warm cloths. Equally check out for the security situation and ensure that you do not get into trouble be it with the security forces or the local warriors. The road in to the city is not in good shape and so drive with care.

Bamenda is in the northwest part of Cameroon. It has a population of approximately two million inhabitants. There are two main languages that are spoken by the people of this region. There are many tribes and each tribe has a ruler.

HELPFUL REPORT

Bamenda is the heart if the North West Region. The people here are very hardworking and we enjoy going out and drinking over the weekends. The main market is always bustling with traders and buyers. You can find everything you need at the main market, but you have to remember to always beat the price of whatever it is you want to buy. My city is full of friendly people and you just need to ask for help if you are lost and they would make sure you get what you need.
