Information about the village and it's climate

Mbammuock is a tribe which is found in the Southwest of Cameron precisely in the Lebialem division. It is situated Northeast of Fossimondi. It happens to be the last tribe at the boarder of the Western North to the West region. This tribe has one of the highest peaks in Cameroon which is found in "Meleta" and the climate condition of this tribe is pretty good because it has an average night temperature which occasionally always falls bellow 10 °C. The Lowe region of this tribe is distinguish by fog during day periods.

The soils in Mbammuock are very fertile, highly volcanic which makes it to be very rich in agricultural production. This tribe has a tropical mountainous climate which is just like the sub-equatorial type. It has an irregular relief and the tribe lies on the summit of the mountain of bamboutous tribe. This tribe is surrounded by the herbaceous savannah grassland which is dominated by eucalyptus trees, forest galleries and plants

Mbammuock Tribe has one of the best cultures In the Southwest region with their people being very welcoming and loving. They originate from the Bamilike ethnic group hence have almost similar culture to villages in the West region such as Bangang and Bafou

Mbammuock Tribe still sticked to the ancestral beliefs as they still practice traditional religion that our four father's where practicing since they have created several shrines at several spots I'm the village. This various shrines are dedicated to the gods of the Mbammuock tribe. However, they also practice Christianity as majority of the population are being dominated by Christianity instead of ancestral practices

It's National Customs and Cuisine

When talking of the Cuisine, the Mbammuock traditional meal is called aPáláh which is usually prepared by pounding it inside a mortal with a pestle. After pounding it, it is then rapped on cocoyam leaves. It is usually eaten with either black or yellow soup which can then be eaten using your fingers. It should be noted that this meal is slightly different from Achu which is a common meal In the Northwest region of Cameroon because achu comprises of banana and different species of cocoyams.

As early as the 70s and 80s, the Mbammuock people migrated from the forest region to grass land areas which is located above the sea level at 2400 m. As a result of this, they started cultivating Irish potato, carrots, ginger, garlic and so many other farming products since cocoyams production had declined drastically. But the highest product they cultivated was Irish potato and it has stood the test of time till present date and it's the highest tribe in Cameroon that cultivates Irish potato

Irish potato is the highest crop that is being cultivated today in Mbammuock village and the entire population of this tribe has engaged themselves in Agriculture and breeding of live stock which is taken as their primary occupation. Though their main cash crop cultivation is Irish potato, they also cultivate In small scale production of maize, cabbage, leek, garlic, ginger, beetroot, huckleberry, beans and so many other types of cash crops

It the highest tribe in Cameroon that Supply Irish potato out of the country most especially to Equitoria Guinea, Ivory coast, Congo, and other countries

I have gone to this village several times because it is my @desireforku' village. It happened that we were roommates when I was still in the University. So he usually takes me to Mbammuock village which happens to also be his village. He is having a very big Irish farm which we usually go and cultivate Irish potato.

I live in Bamenda. From Bamenda to Mbammuock village is not far, it's about 3 to 4 hours maximum on a bike or a bus. Living Bamenda to this village, we most past through Djchang. From Djchang, the easiest means to go to the village is by motor cycle bike 🚲 since it will be faster since the road is not really good for cars. Motor car can have easy access to the village through Mamfe to Lebialem before climbing to Mbammuock very easy.
