A lot of festivities usually characterise the months of November, December and January in Cameroon . This period is reserved for memorial services for lost ones, engagements, marriages, graduation parties and other rituals. To many Fako sons and daughters, it is time to formalise their relationships with their loved ones. To perform this ceremony there, is an indispensable item, the Ngowa (pig) that must be presented. Given the importance of this item and the numerous ceremonies taking place during this period, pig vendors are now inflating the prices.
