Ministers wearing the Bamenda traditional regalia
Cameroon Ministers at Rio 2016 Olympic games. Proud to wear the Bamenda traditional regalia outside the country, but not inside the country for fear of being tagged to be siding with “les Bamendas” and their main opposition party leader, John Fru Ndi. So who is fooling whom?
After all, Ministers Gregory Owona and Col. K. Malboum, note that a prophet is never accepted in his hometown. Reason why this particular traditional regalia was the most rated and applauded regalia in the world during the Olympic parade.
It is unique for the marginalized English-speaking Cameroonians. And even when I shook hands with U.S. presidential candidate, Donald Trump, a few months ago, he told me: “I love your design and outfit.” l wore the regalia at his rally in New York, USA. Remember I once published what he said to me, and showed proof of his autograph which I still keep jealously.
Let us value what we have. A keynote to citizens who do traditional weddings in Cameroon, but are completely dressed in Nigerian outfits. We can make a million unique designs out of this particular Bamenda outfit, and all will still be best sellers.
