About this title

Synopsis

The aim of this book is to present the correct perspective of the history of the Kamwe People of Northern Nigeria and Northern Cameroon. In the cause of writing this book, we have made effort to trace the origin of the Kamwe people. The book traced the origin from Mchekili where Gelmai the ancestor of the Kamwe people started his epic journey. We have made effort to correct the errors made by previous writers. We have explained the meaning of Kamwe as told by elders. The importance of "Mwe" in Kamwe culture cannot be overemphasised. 'Mwe" stands for spiritually, strength and security. We have brought to the fore the speeches that changed Kamweland forever. The foremost slogan by Damude T. "Ma-maa zigwei dzeme makaranta na ngere-'uwie te maranje ku Damude" has revolutionised Kamweland for good and forever. Readers interested in the meaning of Kamwe names and culture will find this book useful.
