  • Hello beautiful people,
    In today's vlog, I'm back at my parent's house in Bamenda. I grew up in Bamenda and this vlog shows a bit of life in Bamenda and how homey and welcoming Bamenda can be. Bamenda offers a lot in terms of food, landscape and culture. It's my hometown.
    xx Mutombo.

    Bamenda vlogs never fail to bring me both joy and sadness at the same time. I always appreciate it tho, and allow myself to flow with the feelings!

    I miss bamenda🥹 Hell, I miss Cameroon so much already😩 I’ve not been able to visit bamenda since the crisis. My parents won’t let me. And now it’ll be years again before I get to visit.
    Groundnuts🥹 this was my best groundnuts season, I ate so much groundnuts this year.
    Also, what we call koki beans is apparently the sole type of beans Nigerians and some other west African countries know. Black and red beans are not common to them, like they are to us.
    This was a very lovely video with intense nostalgic moments. I love my country so much. Despite the country’s flaws and mismanagement, I am forever proud to be a Cameroonian. One of only 2 bilingual countries in French and English with a 😮great variety of delicious cuisine.
    Africa in miniature indeed!

      Many of our people based in the diaspora still visit Bamenda. Some of them even multiple times a year. There's no need to be so scared. Things are not as bad as we sometimes make them out to be. Love from Bamenda. ❤🇨🇲

      Thank you Bleshy. I'm glad this video was able to give u a little taste of Bamenda again. If you do decide to visit again, I think the key is just to not stay out after dark. Go out during the day and not at night.
      I love what @Dearly_beloved79 said.
      Anyway, take care and thank you so much for watching the videos.

      Lately, my friend Angela, also introduced me to plums and sweet bread, and oh boy! It is one good match! 😁

    Gosh, Perose! Thank you kindly, I was really anticipating this vlog about Bamenda. It takes me back down memory lane…and Finally you did it! I miss abakwa so, so much. All my childhood in Bamenda, you can imagine what that means to me…I’m really getting emotional…HOME SWEET HOME.

    • @mutomboinprogress

      The thing with Bamenda is that despite everything she has been through, the people remain the most polite and friendly people ever. It’s always a reminder when I go back home. Resilience.
      I’m happy this video took you back, that was the exact intention and purpose behind this Bamenda vlog. I especially had in mind those who were out of the country and couldn’t visit Bda as frequently.
      Thanks Karl. I appreciate the constant support.
