RE: Steemit Engagement Challenge Week 2 || Sharing My Country's Culture [Grand Celebration Of The AFO AKOM ANNUAL FESTIVAL]
One thing i have noticed so far since the beginning of this culture contest, i noticed that all African Countries shared almost the same culture.
I enjoyed reading your different cultural backgrounds.
However, among the different dances, i was expecting to see the Makosa dance😊, but as i carried out further research i found out that it's from Congo , mostly patronized by the French speaking .Isnt it part of your cultural dance as Cameron is also a french speaking country?
Also, i wanted to ask this...i know very well that Cameron speaks much of French and little of English , how do yoy cope when you all have national events...?
I am asking this because i have encountered alot of people from the English zone who doesnt understand french at all.
How do yoy people communicate between the english and the french folks..., do you have a comon language for such situation?
No brother, Makossa isn't part of our cultural dance. However, we are made up of 256 ethnic groups with different Cultural Celebrations, but if you look into it more deeply, you will realize it boils down to almost thesame way of celebration
You are right bro. Cameroon is made up of 10 Regions whereas 8 are Francophone regions while just 2 are English speaking region. However, we don't actually face any difficulties because during national events, speakers speak in both English and French or there's always a translator
Hahaha that's true and same goes with French speakers
No brother we don't have any common language and this has caused us alot of problems. We are still surffering from some of this problems today just like the ongoing Anglophone war. And this war escalated because of this two languages
Oh wow, i just hope better days come.
As for the comon language stuff, i can understand that, i wish there was.
Here in Nigeria we have different languages but we have only one official language "English".
