The name “Mamfe” comes from the Bayangui language. When Germans first arrived in the area via the Cross River, the Germans greeted a local man who was carrying sand from the shore and tried interrogating him about where they were. The Bayangui man didn’t understand and only said in his dialect, “I’m carrying sand”. The Germans heard this as “Mamfe” and named the area so.[citation needed] The inhabitants speak a Bayangui language as their mother tongue, called Kenyang, although English is the official language spoken along with Pidgin, and several other dialects, including Ejagha. The city is also noteworthy for the high proportion of Nigerians who live there. Mamfe is too small to possess a university, but the Queen of the Rosary Catholic College was Cameroon’s first all-female boarding school. There is also at Teacher’s training college, and several vocational schools. Akin to the Manyu division as a whole, people from Mamfe have a reputation throughout Cameroon for being highly intelligent.
