context_page_description: The Bandefram-Cameroon Chiefdom. Pronounced Ndiògfap in local language, this name means farmers of old vineyards.Although Bandrefam is the official name, the population of this chiefdom call themselves Kouo'shi, which means:emerging from the ground.
  This name will take the form of Fab'gwe around 1921, then of Ndiògfap around 1928. Finally, the German colonists will call it Bandrefam, as it is known today.
  The Kouo'shi are Bamiléké people who are descended from several generations of migrants from North Cameroon and whose origins could be traced back to Egypt during Pharaohs’ time.
  Bandrefam is located about 300 km from Douala the commercial capital of Cameroon, about 300 km of Yaounde the political capital and 25 km from Bafoussam, the regional capital.
  At the administrative level, it is part of the Bayangam commune, in the Department of Koung-Khi in the West province of Cameroon. Since 2018, the Kingdom has been ruled by His Majesty Georges Jiejip Tchomgang, son of His Majesty Jiejip Pouokap who died in january 14, 2018 after an extensive illness.
  Georges Jiejip is the 105th King of a long dynasty founded by Fo Kaputse several centuries ago.
