Bamenda Horse Race: A source of Happiness for NW Mbororos

By Bakah Derick The Bamenda municipal stadium Saturday 20 th February, 2016 played host to thousands of Mbororos from across the Northwest Region. The activity that assembled them was the 2 nd edition of the Bamenda Horse Race organised by the Bamenda city Council under the patronage of Prime Minister and Head of government Philemon Yang.  In their finest form Mbororo girls, boys, men and women answered present at the event ground as early as 8am for an event that was expected to begin at 10am and to end at 5pm.
