WHILE I AGEE WITH ALL THE OTHER NAMES OF THE CAMEROONIAZATION OF THE NAMES OF THE REGIONS IN CAMEROON, I WILL ASK TO DSAGREE WITH ONE- " BAMENDA".
THE WORD " BAMENDA " MEANS - " THE PEOPLE OF MENDA " IN ONE OF THE MANY DIALECTS OF THE REGION. CONSEQUENLY I SEE THE NAME INAPROPRIATE.
I THEREFORE PREFERE THAT THE REGION BE NAMED AND CALLED " MENDA ".
". THE MENDA REGION. ".
Thanks. George Achimbi.

--Folks,Thanks for all your rejoinders on this important subject on Cameroon's Identity..I hope a Bill should be submitted to "Glass House" Parliament in Yaounde as well as the Senate on this subject for ti to be promulgated into law.When I thought about this idea I was looking at some geographical, cultural or natural features in the regionI just felt that we needed to create a Cameroonian identity for the country to be easily identified abroad.*** I agree with the "Bamenda" name for the Northwest Region because everyone from the northwest identifies he or herself with "Bamenda".*** Earlier I thougth about the "Famla" name for the Western Region" but some people felt that it was derogatory because of the witchcraft impression. Meanwhile from my own understanding "Famla" is just an abandoned homestead or compound*** "Benoue" is better for the North Region because this is one of its greatest natural features. I visited the "Poumpoumre" quarters in the 1980's and was amaze with the luxurious home in the area.CAMEROONIZATION" OF REGIONAL NAMES
