MATI WUN is about a fight between an Ibo man and a Nso man in the last days of colonialism in Cameroon. Ngong Wirkikais personal pride and his standing as a man from Nso are at stake. He had to win the fight to maintain it. 3. THE WITCHDOCTOR: Cameroonians more than enjoy themselves at parties and will do everything to attend one. This exaggeration is often paid for dearly and the witchdoctor is often a part of the payment.
