So President Ahidjo abolished the federal system of government. During this day there is singing, marches and parades all over various cities of Cameroon.

Unitary State is the central government is the supreme authority can decide their own laws and create and abolish administrative agencies. The central government maintains national security, exercise international diplomacy, and sign binding treaties.

The Federal System Government (Self-Governing) can revoke a simple change in the law. This the government at the state level exercising power over the whole country. Which was limited by the 10th & 11th Amendment and the Bill of Rights However, the 14th Amendment gave the federal government authority over the States.

The Mandara Kingdom existed from 15th Century AD -19th Century AD also known as the Wandala Kingdom. Portuguese explorers reached the coat in the 15th century or 1472 and named the area Rio dos Cameroon (Shrimp River), which became Cameroon in English.

The 1st flag of Cameroon 1884-1916 was adopted when the German empire colonized the area and named it Kamerun until 1911.

The Woermann Company of Hamburg built a warehouse on the Wouri River, shortly thereafter made a treaty with one of the local kings to annex the region for the German emperor. Then the German empire claimed the territory as the colony of Kamerun.

Due to greed; this started the Scramble For Africa known as the Berlin Conference in 1884. Seven European countries invaded Africa for natural resources!

The Germans ran into resistance with the native people who did not want the Germans to establish themselves on this land. They used forced labor of the Africans to make profit on plantations such as: Bananas, cocoa plantations, palm oil and rubber. French & British force Germans to leave Cameroon ending World War I.  

In 1919 The League of Nations/United Nations divides Cameroon into French Camrouns and British Cameroons. In 1955 British Cameroons has decided whether to be part of Nigeria of French Camroun, thereby changing the name again. 1958 French Cameroon First Prime Minister Ahmadou Ahidjo and in 1960 French Cameroon Gained Independence and becomes Republic of Cameroon and Ahmadou Ahidjo becomes the First President and retire in 1982 after President Paul Biyah accuses Ahidjo of masterminding a coup.   

  • For 77 years, Cameroon was controlled by three European powers before becoming fully independent in 1960. In 1884, 1st Germany invaded Cameroon during the Scramble for Africa; where 7 European countries dominant most of the continent of Africa.
  • All citizens hope to see positive changes in Cameroon such as a higher standard of living, a decrease in political corruption, greater economic development and improvement on human rights.  

After World War I, the United Nations mandated the territory be divided into the French Cameroons and British Cameroons because Germany’s harsh practices of making the people work against their will. 

  • January 1st of 1960 French Camroun gained independence from France.  
  • October 1, 1961 Southern British Cameroons gained independence from the British and join the French Camrouns to become Federal Republic of Cameroon which now current.
  • On May 20, 1972 Cameroonians voted for a unitary state. So President Ahidjo abolished the federal system of government.

 26 million people live in the country as of 2020 census and over 250 languages are spoken in the country. However, the primary languages spoken are English and French.

Football (Soccer) in Cameroon is the National Sport since 1982 and 1990 FIFA World Cups. And In November-December of 2016, Cameroon was the host country of the Women Africa Cup of Nations.

Pre-colonial citizens of the country farm and raised cattle, as common throughout Africa, storytelling—the passing down of folklore and tradition—is a key way of keeping the Cameroonian culture alive. The Fulani people are best-known for their proverbs, riddles, poetry, and legends.

Throughout the entire continent of Africa the native people were productive in pottery, metalwork, sculpture (wood, clay and other natural materials), architecture, textile art, painting and decorative metal figurines, basket weaving, bead-working, ceramics, embroidery and leather working. Masks were worn for ceremonies or rituals and very peaceful in the traditional African religion.

Dance and music promoted social gatherings, celebrating special events, major life milestones and storytelling. The dances were a form of entertainment and religious expression such as clapping of the hands and stomping of the feet. Instruments are used such as: bells, scrapers, rattles, horns, flutes, whistles, string instruments, clappers and drums.  African architecture in areas has been influenced by external culture for centuries and is the source for many large buildings in major large cities.

 The Ewondo and Douala peoples are revered for their literature and theater. In ceremonies commemorating dead ancestors, the Bali people use masks representing elephant heads, while the Bamileke use carved statuettes of humans and animals.

The Ngoutou people are famous for two-faced masks, as are the Tikar people (my tribe) for their ornately decorated brass smoking pipes. Potteries, sculptures, quilts, elaborate clothing and bronze sculptures.

Along with her sister Neb-Het, they anoint her husband body with oils and pray and mourn to him because he was murdered before they had any children. While Aset (Isis) is mourning her husband; Asar (Osiris) spirit returns and plants a seed in her womb their impregnating her through immaculate conception; thus she giving birth to Horus (Herus) the son born of a virgin with a gold light over his head because he was born a King also known as (Jesus) and later on defeated his uncle Set in battle for the Kingdom and became King.
