BAMENDA VLOG 2023: market life, local food, beautiful landscapes & more 💕

[@LearningLife-sh1fh]

Hello, we eat something that is made in banana leaves and looks like your koki in Barbados. It is made with cornmeal, coconut and pumpkin. We call it conkie. It is pronounced same as koki.

[@mutomboinprogress]

Cornmeal, coconut... Omg that sound delicious!! (Excluded the pumpkin but I'm sure that's what gives it the yellow colour 😂😂). Omg I'm so pleased to see that you watch these videos all the way from the Carribeans 💕✨. Would love to visit some day. Take care xx

[@LearningLife-sh1fh]

@@mutomboinprogress hi, nice to hear from you. Conkie also has sweet potato. The Caribbean is nice to visit, I also would like to visit places in Africa

[@esthergrace6466]

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!

[@mutomboinprogress]

I know exactly what you mean ❤️❤️

[@sylvielengha4246]

Very beautiful video

[@mutomboinprogress]

Thank you Syl! Happy to hear this 🎀

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!

[@Dearly_beloved79]

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. ❤🇨🇲

[@mutomboinprogress]

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.

[@mutomboinprogress]

Have been so uninspired with content creation these days and rewatching this video today awoke something in me. That’s why I love sharing my content ❤❤

[@ucheobuekwe]

The plums are called “pear” in Nigeria and “ube” in the Igbo region of Nigeria. I miss it. We usually have it with corn😊😊

[@mutomboinprogress]

Thanks for the this! I have heard ‘pear’ from Naija KZbinrs before so it’s amazing to know that we have the same thing here but just with a different name. Omgggg I love Africa

[@tinakelly6785]

We have it with corn tooooo. Either roast or boiled. We also have it with cassava. With cassava, it's a WHOLE MEAL, don't play, lol😂 Lately, my friend Angela, also introduced me to plums and sweet bread, and oh boy! It is one good match! 😁 I just got carried away talking about plums, I forgot to say Hi😂...Hi Uche!😊

[@Bleshy18]

@@mutomboinprogress Yeah, what we call plums is what the call pear, and what we call pear(l’avocat) is what they call avocado😅

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. Can I have your email via [e-mail]? (Please write via email so I get it there and not here)

[@elomocaroltv]

How do you people cope with all the cold in Bamenda plus raining season ha. I came during the dry season cold want loss my life😂

[@mutomboinprogress]

😂😂😂😂 to be honest, I sometimes feel like the morning cold during the dry season is worse than the morning cold during the rainy season. 🥶🥶

Is screaming "chance chance chance" a way of luring customers?😅

[@mutomboinprogress]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 it's a way of telling people *to shift so that he can pass. Especially since the isles of these markets are crowded. 'Give me a chance to pass'. Now that I think about it, the entire scenario is so funny.
