Episode 12 (English) with Dr Bulami Edward Fonyuy

In this episode, Dr. Bulami talks about his efforts to support the people of Nso (Northwest Cameroon) in reclaiming their cultural heritage. The Nso were victims of massive German colonial violence including the looting of cultural belongings and their transfer to Germany. Among them is Ngonnso, a deity embodied in a carved wooden statue that is adorned with cowrie shells. She was created in honour of Ngonnso, the founding mother of the Nso Fondom (Kingdom), who is regarded as the incarnation of the Nso people’ s worldview. Publications of Dr Bulami can be found here. Dr Bulami is a part-time Lecturer in the University of Bamenda (Cameroon) and the Principal of the Government Bilingual High School Kimbo in Kumbo.
