Culture
Cameroon has 10 provinces with over 250 ethnic groups.
The north is mostly populated by Muslims, while the south is more heavily Christian.
With so many cultures and traditions, there is general tolerance between groups. Cameroonians tend to ask where someone is from within the country rather than what they believe (similar to how Americans will ask if someone is from the North or the South, or the East Coast, Midwest, or the West Coast). This gives a better snapshot of a person who may be visiting another part of the nation.
