6 Quotes by Cameroonian authors

Cameroonian Flag

Cameroonian sayings travel in many tongues, Fulfulde, Ewondo, Duala, pidgin, carrying the dust of markets and the hush of forest paths. Their tone is frank and playful, often teasing truth from paradox. Elders speak of patience like slow-cooked ndolé, of kinship knotted tighter than raffia, of work measured by the drumbeat of rain. Humor sharpens advice; hospitality meets caution; pride in land and craft sits beside reverence for ancestors. These brief lines prize community, resourcefulness, and the quiet courage of ordinary days.
