| Description: | An eye witness account of how people suffered from afflictions because they stole and how they were relieved. | |
| This project documents the language of Babanki traditional ritual performances. Babanki is an endangered Grassfields language spoken in Babanki Tungo and Big Babanki, northwest of Cameroon. The language of rituals contains poetic forms, lexical items and grammatical structures not found in everyday Babanki speech. Unfortunately, these special speech forms are threatened by the strong influence of modernism and especially Christianity which have caused the number of people who still engage in ritual performances to drop drastically. Consequently, the Babanki cultural values inherent in the ritual performances are no longer cherished and transmitted to younger generations. | ||
| The narrator tells of the experiences he had as he was growing up and saw people suffer from afflictions on them because they stole sugarcane or guavas from a particular man. | ||
