Eseka

Eséka lies among the forested hills of Bassa country in southern Cameroon. A local explanation of its name recalls a meeting between two people living on opposite sides of the hills, who called each other sèga, a Bassa word for an equal or a person of the same age. Bassa traditions also tell of families dispersing from Ngog Lituba, the pierced rock remembered as an ancestral place, into the surrounding forest lands.
