The sound of the vuvuzelas and the noise from football fans and supporters went echoing into the lowlands of Ngie, down to the valleys of Mantu and Ngong while the drumming and singing could also heard right up the hills of Mbuuh. It was emting signals that something significant was taking place in Njap village. In fact, it was the finals of the first edition of a football tournament donated by a young dynamic entrepreneur, Kwefi Blessing Fanyu based in Yaounde.  This football tournament for both men and women was described as the first of its kind in Njap village to be sponsored by a young girl.

The tournament which has been described by football lovers and observers as a unifying tool entered into records as one of the biggest crowd pulling event this year.
