Grace à toi, j'ai eu une vue partielle de Manfé. Ça doit être agréable à vivre malgré la crise.
wow I'm glad to see this new bridge The last time i passed there we still used the old bridge. Thanks for sharing. You guys are so brave to have traveled from Lagos to Ikom by road and most especially that night journey.

We thank God for journey mercies oh🙏
Who told you that bushfallers don’t feel at home when they arrive in Cameroon from the west? We do 100%, yes the Douala airport is terrible and it is very hot but you still get that feeling. Home is still home. No matter where you live out of the country, you will always have that feeling that you are not home and you will get reminded in western societies that you are a stranger. The police, public services and groups that don’t like foreigners will always try to make you feel that way from time. So don’t get fooled, anyone who grown up in Cameroon will always have that feeling when they set foot in Cameroon.

You guys are strong! I can't travel anywhere by night in Nigeria. After 7pm, I don't leave the house or stay wherever I find myself. Also, noticed people are so trusting in Nigeria. I can't sleep in a stranger's house or welcome one in my house. Just saying..

Thank God for the safe trip to and fro Nigeria. I stay in Lagos and i would have loved to meet with you while you're here. Meanwhile I have never traveled by road to Cross River state from Lagos. But i have been close to the border with cameroon at a village called Adjasso in crossriver state sometime in 2015. Regarding your pidgin, it's quite similar to the variety spoken in cross river state especially around ikom, Boki, Obanliku, Obudu and Etung areas. Infact, your accents sounds very similar to what's spoken in these areas. Anyways, thank you for coming to Nigeria and giving us this view of your life... I hope your experience to and from Nigeria will be better next time.

Point of correction please the Mamfe people don't relate with Akwa Ibom people but Cross River state people. Even in Calabar you started your journey from we speak same language i.e (Ejagham) and share same culture with the Mamfe people. In Calabar we speak Ejagham or Qua, Efik and Efut. Ejagham and Efut people migrated from the Central Africa. You would have done a little research about the people here in Nigeria before publishing the information. Most Cameroonian from this area you mentioned share same language, name with Calabar people, Ikom, Etung, Boki and Yala people all in Cross River state, Nigeria. We share same history but I'm not going to write on that coz it's a long history. Thank you
