An observer once described Bamenda as the Lagos of Cameroon. Bamenda is the regional headquarters of the North West of Cameroon while Lagos, former capital of Nigeria is the economic nerve centre of Africa’s most populous country. Lagos is as active and dynamic as its inhabitants. Lagos thrives by itself. Its inhabitants love and master business. They hold success in business in high esteem. This same description fits Bamenda.

Over the years, Bamenda has experienced an amazing progress development wise. In infrastructure, Bamenda has moved many steps forward. The mentality of its people is said to have metamorphosized a great deal. This mentality evolution has been noticed in the area of private business initiative.

For some time now, sons and daughters of Bamenda and people of the region in general who identify with Bamenda have been building themselves as individual business entities. There are scores of successful business initiative linked to people of the region. Some of these people have been recognized in the Cameroon’s hall of fame and their works appreciated.



On the other hand, there have been an interestingly increasing number of entertainment initiatives, coming alongside the now blooming music and film sector in the North West region. This has brought about the huge sprouting of fast-growing entertainment outfits and individual artists who are printing their names in the golden books of Cameroonian and African entertainment.
