So glad this video is a hit. Here is another:kzread.info/dash/bejne/m5psqcmoobWahtY.html

I did my African ancestry and found out I’m 100.00% Tikar from Cameroon, which makes me really happy as an African-American so now I’m trying to learn about everything possible about Cameroon.❤❤❤

Am a Kenyan and dating Cameroon man , glad I came across these video

Wow I love this I'm a Cameroonian and I'll love to see more of this 🙌🏾🙌🏾

That’s so cool! I’m glad you found out your lineage. We maybe distant cousins lol The masa, Kotoko and mafa people seem to be primarily from Northern Cameroon and parts of Chad. You know, I had never heard of them surprisingly. I lived in the capital Yaounde which is at the center of the country. And so we learned more about the tribes in our provinces and tribes in neighboring provinces. Not so much the ones far from us. I'm more familiar with the Hausa and Fulani people from the North. Hope it helps

Thanks for the post and mentioning the research group... I was in the Far North (Peace Corps) and am familiar with the Masa, Mafa, and Kotoko people. I didn't know any DNA ancestry test identified possible tribes. The Masa are around Yaugau, the Mafa near Mokolo and the Kotoko people around Lake Chad. Its an interesting region, hot and dusty, except for the summer when its a swamp. Too dangerous to visit right now due to Boko Haram. The area is remote and very poor in comparison with most of Cameroon. You can find a surprising amount of info on Wiki.

Congratulations to them both! That’s a great question. With Cameroon having a variety of ethnic groups and what not, I can’t say there is one set way of naming children. One of my classmates in secondary school had five names -a first and a last name and three middle names. My mom on the other hand named me and my brother names that she believed won’t negatively affect us through out life. My first name means blessing. My middle name is my grandmother’s on my mother’s side and then my last name which is my dad’s.
