@Princip Mondesir Now you got all this wrong! English is so equivocal that it can confuse even it's own native speakers! The word TRIBE is demeaning! Go back to your mother tongue and give me a translation of TRIBE and NATION! Cameron is an amalgamated boundary which encircles so many nations which come from various ethinics of Africa don't mislead your self! I always say to people my nation by authentic boundary is Buganda, and I'm Ugandan by amalgation! Who is East African and African. A dark but not black as so many shades of colour comes from my continent and black plays down the diversity of these shades which range from dark blue to yellowish without mixtures! Know thy self!

This is my MtDNA (mother's lineage) sometime ago ,perhaps between the 8th and 12th generation (now 21st ) of the Atlantic- African experience, a woman or a girl was packed on a European vessell on Bioko Island or Calabar Nigeria after a forced trek from the Cameroon highlands. She landed somewhere on the east coast of America, perhaps Virginia or maybe South Carolina. Her lineage, maybe her grandaughter first shows up on record as being born in Missouri right after that state was opend up for settelment. Undoubtley, another forced trek . Her daughter shows up on record with the name Caroline in Mississippi before the American civil war. That was another forced trek. Caroline was forced with her owners to go to Texas during the war where her daughter Sallie was born. After the war, they retured to Mississippi to a new type of life called Freedom. Then sometime before the turn of that century (1900 ) my mother.'s grandmother wa born (V).. Then around 1910,, my grandmother, (O) my spirt was born.. She is inside me , just as some ancestor was in her. My mother born in the 18th Gen still lives . That MtDNA runs in my nieces and many cousins.
it's impossible that it happened before the 12th century as the bamileke reached the highlands of cameroon between the 16th and 17th century and the slave trade started in the 15th century. go study your history again

The few times when Cameroon is mentioned/talked about in the media it makes my heart burst with so much joy but this video especially highlights my father's tribe which I am very grateful for thank you so much for this ❤❤❤❤🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲
I just found out through African Ancestry that I am from the Bamileke people of Cameroon!! I am so emotional, I finally know who I am on my mother's side. 😀
Tracy Calloway, I too recently found out that I am from the Bamileke people of Cameroon 🇨🇲 on my mother's side... I know exactly how you feel my sister.
I just learned my entire maternal lineage is that of Bamileke people of Cameroon. I'm on a journey to learn more. From what I have learned thus far, it explains a lot about my internal characteristics.
Lol, like most Africans, for some rituals and ceremonies that happen a few times in the year. Other than that they're Catholics in majority, some are protestant and a very few are muslim like a cousin of mine who made that very unfortunate choice in his late 20s.
yes I am Bamileke, from west Cameroon. I am from the Baham kingdom. Bafoussam next to Baham. There are many sub-kingdoms now including Baham, Bagante, Bansoa, Balengou, Bafang, Mbouda, Bandjoun, Batie, Bangu, Bameka, Bayangam etc... I did not know the original Kingdom was Dschang. Very good video!
my family have been in the usa for a long time (at least 2 centuries) but I have recently learned that I/we come from Bamileke people ( at least in part). I appreciate this and am looking for more history and culture resources to learn more.
Good job and big thank you for what you are doing .i am from cameroon and west part of cameroon have an amazing history .and still today they keep their traditions and culture.secret society still existe.
@@Tom-Son True but it may be wrong to classify all Bali and 'Bamenda' people as Bamelike so tribes like NSO and Bamoum are directly from Bamileke origin, They were founded by two sons of a Bankim monarch(which is of Bamelike extract) namely Ngosso din(Bamoum) and Nchare Yen(Nso). Most of the Tikar tribes, alongside the Bamileke, actually migrated southward from the north while escaping the fulani jihad(namely the Sokoto jihad). But to generalise all of them as bamileke is quite an audacious move. The Bali tribes are actaully one tribe except for one which I do not quite remember which has some bamileke heritage. After the death of Fon Gwolbe the the fon of the Bali people, a squabble began for the throne which led to a split of the tribes among his seven sons. Only one Bali tribe actually has bamileke heritage possibly from some sought of conquest. So many smaller tribes may have broken off from the bamilekes but I am quite sure that the Bali's are not Bamilike, neither are the people of Lai Kom. For the Nso, the Bamoum and Bangwa peoples I can attest that they all share the same heritage but are seperated by years of forging new identities for themselves.
@Kish B. how can you both argue the same thing and not realize it? how dumb are you people. you are arguing that they are the same ethnic group but different tribe which he never disagreed since he is saying that the tribes minor differences do not eliminate the strong cultural similarities showing that these are the same people who got divided through conquests, feuds etc.... you are both saying the same thing stop being naive and divide yourself over stupid little differences in opinions. especially you stop the attitude you're not the only one who knows the history of our people like the back of our hands probably know more than you so learn to be humble
The fact that a Cameroonian and particularly a North westerner don't know North West tribes are Bamileke is so sad it's laughable 😂😂. This is prove that our school system is a failure. There are 123 Bami tribes in North West, 106 in West and 6 in South West in Labialem division. Even like 3 in South Adamawa region. Some of you are a complete embarrassment and it's shame how ignorantly you will still argue even after you have just been schooled. Don't let rhe regional boarders fool you, don't let the French and English language fool you. The migration of North West and West Regions was literally one. The was absolutely nothing like North West and West. Again you will be stupid if you think Bamouns are not Bami because they are Muslims 😂😂😂. Is like saying a Jew/ Israelite isn't Jew because he practiced Christianity and not Judaism. 😂😂😂😂
Man, thank you very much. I think I found here the origin of the Marimonda Mask that makes famous the Carnival of Barranquilla, Colombia, the city I am from, which of course also has a wide African heritage. Thanks
This is such a good video dude and I'm so glad you are doing research on my people like this. My grandfather's second wife was the daughter of one of the Fon's of mendankwe in Bamenda. My grandmother, my grandfather's wife also (he was a polygamist) is the grandchild of one of the Fon's of Baba II. They speak meta' though, a different language from the language people in mendankwe speak. This area of Cameroon has such a rich history but our story is never told!

It's a crime against humanity how the murder, mistreatment, miseducation and destruction of the black child mind is ruling today
I was watching videos on Cameroon when I came across this video it intrigued me because it was my uncle on the thumbnail it was very interesting even if I already know the history of my tribe I was able to learn more! I luv my country so muuch, j’espère y retourner bientôt vive le Cameroun et les bamiléké🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲
Can someone explain the levitation? In African American folklore they talk of flying Africans, to escape slavery. Some say they actually could fly while others say it was an expression.
I am from Cameroon 🇨🇲, from the Bassa tribe. According to what my great grand mother told me, we came from Egypt, from a region close the Nil River called Mereo, something close to that name. One of my great grand oncle could levitate. That's how he could espace the massacre orchestrated by the German and French people. But to be able to levitate, there are a number of things one was not allowed to do.
Thank you for sharing home team history yes I appreciate we need more powerful videos like this to direct our people and teach them of our lost knowledge of who they really are because through this Divine ancient knowledge we can recover every bit of what we lost and that was everything about ourselves so this video was also powerful because they're a very good divine 2 a teaching technique so we can recover back the knowledge lost knowledge of who we really are so thank you and please keep them coming yes King and May the force be with you agape I appreciate
Each person in those photos look like my family members. My Ancestry Results main country is Cameroon. Ancestry doesn't give tribes, but those photos. 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦
I am a proud Bamileke boy! To add to this story, the majority of enslaved people transported to the new world were Bamilekes. It wasn't without very bloody resistance though! As they were seen to be physically very strong, big and muscular.
@Pxer why would you lol before writing your comment? what's wrong with idiots like you? well today the city of douala is owned by bamileke so i guess what goes around come around
Freddy Sime They’re not monotheistic, there’s multiple Gods just one supreme God “ Sí”. Similar to how greek mythology has multiple Gods but Zeus was supreme
@@sjappiyah4071 Ghanaian have many gods? What did moshe warn you about what us the purpose of the minor gods ?the supreme Creator said beside me there us no other.
I am Dschang and I love my Bami people. It's a shame though that many other Bami tribes were taught to hate us (some say for being more advanced) even though they descended from us. It makes sense that when you move away from your family to start a new village you might not have as much as your dad AT FIRST. No one can predict the future and many of the groups have very powerful businessmen who helped their villages proper which is very good. Yet the whole clan could be much stronger if it wasn't for petty divisions.
Where I come from in Cameroon (i.e Central Region) we generally refer to the people from West and North- West Regions of Cameroon as "nguelafi" (Grassfielders). I think the naming "Bamileke" is more of a colonial appellation and it's mostly referred to the people from the Western Region of Cameroon excluding the Bamoun people. There is a saying that if you go to any part of the world and you don't find any Bamileke or Nigerian there, then know that you are completely lost. Because wherever you find a Bamileke or Nigerian know that there are opportunities and thus abundant cashflow 😅😅😅.
Good video! I enjoy a lot of the videos you put out. My minor criticisms are the traditional leader is called Fo not Fon. Fons are the traditional leaders of the Tikars in the North West Region of Cameroon. Also there were images of the Fon of Bafut and the Fon of Babungo who consider themselves Tikar not Bamileke. There was also an image of a Bamoun princess used in the video. The Bamouns don't consider themselves Bamileke. Other than those few things, thank you for bringing the culture the Bamileke to more people.
Mitchell even though they don't consider themselves as bamilekes, they have the same ancestry with the bamilekes. Most tribes of north west region too have the same ancestry with the bamilekes. Most tribes didn't want to be associated with the bamilekes due to the colonial/political reasons. The bamilekes were at the forefront of the war of independence against the French and in return were heavily bombarded and their villages destroyed. So some tribes out of fear did not want to associate themselves with their bamileke brothers.
There are 123 Bamileke tribes in North West and only 106 in West. This Francophone and Anglophone thing is really disturbing most of you I swear, there was actually nothing as North West and West just 70 years ago. Tikars are literally Bamileke, as a matter of fact it's a Tikar Prince that founded Bafoussam, Banso and others. The phrase Bamileke is a white term and its cover even 6 tribes in South West region in the Labialem division. You all really have alot to learn about your own damn history, there are like 3 Bamileke tribes in Adamawa. Even the current day Tikar village is in Adamawa as you read this comment. The Bafut people and many others were once located in current day North Cameroon. Yep u heard me right North Cameroon. Read a book or something pls.
Hey great video! By any chance could you make a video about afro arab individuals? Like antarah bin shaddad and jahiz etc lots of great people to make a video about

'' Dschang " is not their real name tho . It's a word invented by the Germans . But you have done a great job as usual ❤🖤💚.
Love from a Bassa'a girl in Cameroon 🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲
What's the real name ?
@@aizensama1448 Me too I didn't know
@@aizensama1448 some can say that the bamileke are the descendants of the tikar and ndobo so can be called tikari,etc...
@@aizensama1448 A'tsan
@@newworldorder7 Wrong. Atsan is how "Dschang" people pronounce Dschang. Not what they were called before the German came
Am so fascinated by my Ancestors its so many of them just learning about black history its amazing just loving this thank u 4 making time 2 share this information LOVE INTHE HOUSE
I love your beautiful,informative, video lectures. You have the content we need to teach our children in school. Black people in America seem to have forgotten the children are our greatest asset. It's a crime against humanity how the murder, mistreatment, miseducation and destruction of the black child mind is ruling today
I was watching videos on Cameroon when I came across this video it intrigued me because it was my uncle on the thumbnail it was very interesting even if I already know the history of my tribe I was able to learn more! I luv my country so muuch, j’espère y retourner bientôt vive le Cameroun et les bamiléké🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲
Your teaching comes handy as the awakening spreading like a wild fire . Thank you. For lazy people like me who don't dig my history. Much appreciated.
I just learned this is the tribe of my maternal side! Im so happy to be home! ❤
Can someone explain the levitation? In African American folklore they talk of flying Africans, to escape slavery. Some say they actually could fly while others say it was an expression.
It was possible back then. Some of family relatives were able to levitate. However, such a practice would be kept secret.
@@alainmartins3007 I can imagine! Which state or country is your family from? Why only back then was it possible? If you don't mind me asking.
I am from Cameroon 🇨🇲, from the Bassa tribe. According to what my great grand mother told me, we came from Egypt, from a region close the Nil River called Mereo, something close to that name. One of my great grand oncle could levitate. That's how he could espace the massacre orchestrated by the German and French people. But to be able to levitate, there are a number of things one was not allowed to do.
Alain Martins this is very interesting and thank you for sharing.
That is also in the Caribbean Tradition , I believe it's some form of super powers but it is called different names in different countries
Thank you for sharing home team history yes I appreciate we need more powerful videos like this to direct our people and teach them of our lost knowledge of who they really are because through this Divine ancient knowledge we can recover every bit of what we lost and that was everything about ourselves so this video was also powerful because they're a very good divine 2 a teaching technique so we can recover back the knowledge lost knowledge of who we really are so thank you and please keep them coming yes King and May the force be with you agape I appreciate

Recently discovered my African Ancestry. I am Bamileke through my mother! Hi Family! 🇨🇲🇨🇲
We are family then! My African roots come this tribe too!
👋🏾
Just did my ancestry and found out I was a part of this tribe from my fathers side
I am a proud Bamileke boy! To add to this story, the majority of enslaved people transported to the new world were Bamilekes. It wasn't without very bloody resistance though! As they were seen to be physically very strong, big and muscular.
Exactly
@Pxer shut up
@Pxer why would you lol before writing your comment? what's wrong with idiots like you? well today the city of douala is owned by bamileke so i guess what goes around come around
You didn't enslaved shit you were just middlemen like always
@Assa • they never enslaved no one lol they were just middlemen on the coast, that is all
Thanks, also of the bamileke tribe originally, interesting to learn more about it.
Yes!!👏👏👏My Cameroonian brothers and sisters!!🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲
I am so proud of my Roots. Thanks for that illustration
Yeah, the Bamileke people are monotheistic. Sí is His name. My name is Sime, which means the God of someone.
Freddy Sime
Hey if you wanna connect to conscious Africans/Black people around the Globe check our Discord server out : discord.gg/rmmDh3U
Freddy Sime They’re not monotheistic, there’s multiple Gods just one supreme God “ Sí”.
Similar to how greek mythology has multiple Gods but Zeus was supreme
@@sjappiyah4071 I am Bamileke and I'm telling you bro. We are monotheistic. You are from Ghana, right?
Freddy Sime Oh ok, my mistake then brother.
And yes i am from Ghana
@@sjappiyah4071 Ghanaian have many gods? What did moshe warn you about what us the purpose of the minor gods ?the supreme Creator said beside me there us no other.
Great video bro!

I attended the NGO BU festival in December and ate termites served from the King
I am Dschang and I love my Bami people. It's a shame though that many other Bami tribes were taught to hate us (some say for being more advanced) even though they descended from us. It makes sense that when you move away from your family to start a new village you might not have as much as your dad AT FIRST. No one can predict the future and many of the groups have very powerful businessmen who helped their villages proper which is very good. Yet the whole clan could be much stronger if it wasn't for petty divisions.
Where I come from in Cameroon (i.e Central Region) we generally refer to the people from West and North- West Regions of Cameroon as "nguelafi" (Grassfielders).
I think the naming "Bamileke" is more of a colonial appellation and it's mostly referred to the people from the Western Region of Cameroon excluding the Bamoun people.
There is a saying that if you go to any part of the world and you don't find any Bamileke or Nigerian there, then know that you are completely lost. Because wherever you find a Bamileke or Nigerian know that there are opportunities and thus abundant cashflow 😅😅😅.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My Tribe! Thank you. This was very informative.
Hey I’m curious what’s your email... How can we join patreon if there’s no way of getting in contact with you?
Have you checked the description bar? Its the arrow point down on the right side of the screen, next to the title.
Great video, please do a video on the ekoi people
Great job!!!
Beleza👍🏼👍🏼
My father from Bamileke he is the the chief i am a girl from Cameroon
Thank you mate! I wouldn't have told that story of my tribe any better
Good video! I enjoy a lot of the videos you put out. My minor criticisms are the traditional leader is called Fo not Fon. Fons are the traditional leaders of the Tikars in the North West Region of Cameroon. Also there were images of the Fon of Bafut and the Fon of Babungo who consider themselves Tikar not Bamileke. There was also an image of a Bamoun princess used in the video. The Bamouns don't consider themselves Bamileke. Other than those few things, thank you for bringing the culture the Bamileke to more people.
Mitchell even though they don't consider themselves as bamilekes, they have the same ancestry with the bamilekes. Most tribes of north west region too have the same ancestry with the bamilekes. Most tribes didn't want to be associated with the bamilekes due to the colonial/political reasons. The bamilekes were at the forefront of the war of independence against the French and in return were heavily bombarded and their villages destroyed. So some tribes out of fear did not want to associate themselves with their bamileke brothers.
There are 123 Bamileke tribes in North West and only 106 in West. This Francophone and Anglophone thing is really disturbing most of you I swear, there was actually nothing as North West and West just 70 years ago. Tikars are literally Bamileke, as a matter of fact it's a Tikar Prince that founded Bafoussam, Banso and others. The phrase Bamileke is a white term and its cover even 6 tribes in South West region in the Labialem division. You all really have alot to learn about your own damn history, there are like 3 Bamileke tribes in Adamawa. Even the current day Tikar village is in Adamawa as you read this comment. The Bafut people and many others were once located in current day North Cameroon. Yep u heard me right North Cameroon. Read a book or something pls.
@@djifambinjotu8217 there is only one Bamilike tribe in NW which is Bawock.
Make a video for the Tikar people of Bamenda Cameroon 🇨🇲
