KingsleyEyongDoctor of History, Faculty of Arts, The University of Bamenda, CameroonAbstract: This paper investigates and examines African cultural values in the making of Africa civilization; the case of the Banyang people of the Cross River Region of Cameroon. The forgotten Banyang cultural values such as Ekpe, Obassi-Njom and Mawo over the years have been relevant in the promotion of Banyang cultures and an imprint to Banyang civilization. However, it is observed that these cultural values are fast fading away and losing their potency, thus erasing the Banyang civilization. Therefore, a re-awakening in the functions of these Banyang values will not only put the Banyang Country into the limelight of civilized societies but will project the African civilization as a whole. The main objective for this study therefore is to situate the geography and cultural values in the Banyang Country and the image making of Banyang civilization. In the course to realise this study, both primary and secondary sources were made use of. On the whole, the study reveals that the Ekpe, Obassi-Njom and Mawo cults are the key Banyang cultural traits that imprinted the Banyang civilization.
