Nguelemedouga in Nyanon, Sanaga Maritime division, Cameroon

But Nguelemedouga was victim of a rule that gave teaches and the school administration too much power. And because; he inadvertently denied Boakov a date with perhaps the most beautiful girl ENAM has ever known, it was why Nguelemedouga, as I have already told you, found himself in Couseri, a supposed barren land that, he transformed into a place flowing with milk and honey. Nyanon the new post of Nguelemedouga was a newly created sub district located in the Sanaga maritime division of the Littoral province. This village/town was located in the heart of Sanaga Maritime division and administratively attached to the Ndom sub division, whose sub divisional headquarters was Ngambe. The Sanaga maritime division, and in particular and the Bassaland in general, was a difficult region to work in, for any civil servant: Governors, Divisional, Sub Divisional, and District and Sub district officers. Why? Simply because, the nationals or natives (tribe) of the Bassaland had an extraordinary affection for petition writings, they were almost always ready to complain for the least mistake or conducts judged humiliating or not deserving to be practised within Bassaland. Another reason was that, since Bassaland had a large number of intellectuals, who held top government functions, there was constantly a fight to mutually snip each other.

The Bassalands of Cameroon

This was to make sure that, the specific sections considered as their fiefs within the region, was operating in their favour and also that of the government or the party they were serving. The Bassaland of Cameroon is made up of the Nkam (littoral province), Nyong and Kelle (centre province), Sanaga Maritime, parts of the Wouri divisions both in the Littoral province and also parts of the Ocean division of the South province. Bassas are also found in the English-speaking provinces of the South west in particular in the Fako and Meme divisions and also in the North West province. They are different from those of French-speaking Cameroonians regions earlier mentioned, because they are English-speaking and are attached to values and cultures of English-speaking Cameroon. Bassas are generally considered in Cameroon to be rebellious and are never impressed or afraid of anything or any one. They have insatiable cravings for adventure and are revengeful and proud. Religiously, Bassas are one of the highly Christianised and Westernised nationals of both Cameroons. They are practising Christians, even though some patches of traditional beliefs and its practises do still subsist in rural parts. Most are either Protestants or Presbyterians. Some are Roman Catholics while a growing number are Jehovah’s Witnesses or have joined other Evangelical groups.
