J, Peacock"</strong></p> <p><em><strong>COMMENT</strong></em><br/> Although it is true that many African chiefs did in fact affix their thumb prints on shady documents whose contents were completely unknown to them, and which led to the wholesale alienation of indigenous lands, the case of King William of Bimbia and the sale of Victoria (present-day Limbe) is quite different. </p> <p>King William' story is that of a shrewd African Chief who knew how to go head-to-head with the British to get what he wanted. Not only did he successfully extract a recognition of sovereignty from the British along with the title of “King”, he was also able to sell land which he actually did not own and at a price which by 19th century standards, was extremely high - a mind boggling feat that no other Coastal chief could repeat in successive years.</p> <p>While being in the Bimbia sphere of influence, the territory that later became known as Victoria was quite distinct from Bimbia itself. Even at the height of its power, Bimbia proper was made up of only three villages; Dikolo, Wonyangomba and Wonyabile, the latter also known as Williamtown. This explains the protests of Bakweri chiefs (well documented by Alfred Saker and Fuller) after what they considered William's act of duplicity.)</p> <p>The Deed of Purchase for Victoria was merely one in a series of strategic treaties that King William of Bimbia signed with the British as he tried to expand his sphere of influence beyond Bimbia proper.</p> <p>King William was able to spread his influence in the coastal region thanks to astute treaties with the British that gave him suzerainty over neighboring territories. In fact, in 1856, King William successfully solicited the service of the British during the Bimbia-Bubi war. The people of Bubi were cowed into submission by bombardment of their Island by the British warship, the <em>Wilberforce</em>. This was followed by two peace treaties in which the hitherto independent Bubi promised never to rebel against their "lawful sovereign"!</p> <p><br/> <em><strong>*A copy of the Deed of Purchase for Victoria is in the archives of the Baptist Missionary Society in London.

On King William,s selling of land that did not belong to him and on the bimbia-bubi war, i would like to mention that ALfred Saker actually paid again for the land (victoria) to the bubi(wovia) chiefs who were on Bota Island, and that the bubi(wovia)decided to live with thier Bimbia brothers and were not subdued (cf. chief Makaka numerous consultations and speeches to his wovia brothers).<br/> If we can also publish the deed that was signed between the bubi(wovia) chiefs and Alfred Saker, then we will be balanced in our presentation of history.<br/> Once again, i think you are doing a wonderful job of bringing to light the history of our beutiful and God-blessed city of Victotia. Even though i had seen the picture you published, i spent about 30mins trying to compare the streets with what exists today.If we fail to correctly present this history, strangers will continue to claim Victoria is no man,s land.<br/> manga peter</p></span> </div> <p class="comment-footer"> Posted by: Peter Manga | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120204190229/http://www.bakweri.com/2004/03/august_21_1958_.html?cid=64120872#comment-6a00e54ffa3d57883300e5500e42d88834">Friday, March 23, 2007 at 06:14 AM</a> </p> </div> </div> </div>  <p class="comments-closed"> The comments to this entry are closed. </p> </div> </div> <div id="gamma"> <div id="gamma-inner" class="pkg">  <div class="module-calendar module"> <h2 class="module-header">February 2012</h2> <div class="module-content"> <table summary="Monthly calendar with links to each day's posts"> <tr> <th>Sun</th> <th>Mon</th> <th>Tue</th> <th>Wed</th> <th>Thu</th> <th>Fri</th> <th>Sat</th> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120204190229/http://www.bakweri.com/2012/02/once-upon-a-time-buea.html">1</a></td> <td>2</td> <td>3</td> <td>4</td> </tr> <tr> <td>5</td> <td>6</td> <td>7</td> <td>8</td> <td>9</td> <td>10</td> <td>11</td> </tr> <tr> <td>12</td> <td>13</td> <td>14</td> <td>15</td> <td>16</td> <td>17</td> <td>18</td> </tr> <tr> <td>19</td> <td>20</td> <td>21</td> <td>22</td> <td>23</td> <td>24</td> <td>25</td> </tr> <tr> <td>26</td> <td>27</td> <td>28</td> <td>29</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </div> <div class="module-typelist module"> <h2 class="module-header">Editors</h2> <div class="module-content"> <ul class="module-list"> <li class="module-list-item">Iya Mojoko Ewusi<br/></li> <li class="module-list-item"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120204190229/http://www.bakweri.org/2004/05/meet_bakweriram.html">Iya Rosemary Ekosso</a><br/></li> <li class="module-list-item">Mola David Makongo<br/></li> <li class="module-list-item">Mola Dibussi Tande<br/></li> <li class="module-list-item"><a href="drmondoa@mac.com">Mola Dr Emil I Mondoa</a><br/></li> <li class="module-list-item">Mola Dr Lyombe Eko<br/></li> <li class="module-list-item">Mola Matute Esunge<br/></li> <li class="module-list-item">Mola Mbua Ndoko<br/></li> <li class="module-list-item">Mola Moleke Mo-Njie (Simon Mol)<br/></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="module-archives module"> <h2 class="module-header">Recent Posts</h2> <div class="module-content"> <ul class="module-list"> <li class="module-list-item"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120204190229/http://www.bakweri.com/2012/02/once-upon-a-time-buea.html">Once Upon a Time Buea</a></li> <li class="module-list-item"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120204190229/http://www.bakweri.com/2011/12/video-summit-of-mount-fako.html">[Video] From the Summit of Mount Fako</a></li> <li class="module-list-item"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120204190229/http://www.bakweri.com/2011/11/the_story_of_nd.html">The story of Ndondondume a'mbenga'a maliwa (The monster/creature from down the sea)</a></li> <li class="module-list-item"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120204190229/http://www.bakweri.com/2011/11/the-story-of-the-prodigal-son-in-bakweri.html">The Story of the Prodigal Son in Bakweri‏</a></li> <li class="module-list-item"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120204190229/http://www.bakweri.com/2011/02/a-history-of-bimbia.html">A History of Bimbia</a></li> <li class="module-list-item"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120204190229/http://www.bakweri.com/2011/01/the_bakweri_ele.html">The Bakweri Elephant Dance</a></li> <li class="module-list-item"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120204190229/http://www.bakweri.com/2011/01/kwakoko-and-mbanga-soup.html">Kwakoko and Mbanga Soup</a></li> <li class="module-list-item"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120204190229/http://www.bakweri.com/2010/12/in-memoriam-martin-zachary-njeuma.html">In Memoriam: Martin Zachary Njeuma</a></li> <li class="module-list-item"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120204190229/http://www.bakweri.com/2010/06/bakweri-bible-translation-project-the-complete-book-of-luke.html">Bakweri Bible Translation Project -
