Mama
Nji Youbuh is the only Bamoun who
remained in Bambui after the departure of the Bamoums in 1948.
The
Bamoums came to Bambui in 1935 under the leadership of Prince Musa of Foumban.
Prince Musa quarreled with his brother Seidou Njimoluh Njoya over the Foumban
throne. Prince Seidou overcame Prince Musa. This led to the split of the
Foumban kingdom. Fon Acheyifor of Bambui received the Bamouns and settled them
at Mushu Quarter with his own Palace on the Mushu Plateau.
In
1948, the Sultan of Foumban reconciled with Prince Musa and the Bamouns returned
to Foumban except Mama Nji Youbuh a renowned brass worker.
They
started Islam in Bambui and at present have achieved this magnificent mosque.
Aladji Kadir, Ali Baba, Mama I salute all Muslims in Bambui.
