THE PEOPLE Bubi HISTORY, CUSTOMS AND LEGENDS
At the time we got on the kindness of the Claretian publication on the website of Raimonland.net, issue Computerised English Guinea that from 1903 to 1969, published in Fernando Poo (now Bioko). Leafing through its pages I discovered that a Claretian priest under the pseudonym Bosabeatia Mosamenda or sometimes, he published a history of the Bubi people very interesting .. On the Bubi are natives of the island of Fernando Poo, although their number is not very big, maybe a hundred thousand now including the large group that lives in Spain, there have been many well documented stories like that in 2008 released Sial / Africa House based on the original translation of the book The Bubis, published in 1919 in German by Günter Tessmann, whose works of anthropology at the whole area is very interesting, but I think it's worth not to mention the writings of these missionaries who knew thoroughly African indigenous peoples, which to spread their faith, they must first master their language and customs. You could make a large list of writers who have published on the Bubi, such as Baumann, Boocock, father Molino, Xifré, etc. Although I think these writings under the pseudonym Mosamenda could be attributed to the parent A. Aymemí, who in his 47 year stay on the island in 1894 where he falls in love with ese pueblo y se aficiona a la charla reposada con los ancianos como dice en su libro el padre A. Martin Molino.
En la redacción de este extenso artículo seré un transmisor del original, y supongo que muchas ideas y conceptos de las etnias africanas la ciencia las habrá desarrollado y el presente escrito tendrá errores.
CAPÍTULO I
Los bubis pertenecen a la familia bantú formando unas características lingüísticas la estructura de esos idiomas es aglutinante , y se caracterizan por el empleo exclusivo de prefijos los cuales determinan el número y demás accidentes de nombre , pasando de este al adjetivo y al verbo por reglas muy racionales y cuyo origen es muy oscuro. Se supone that the Bantu came from the source of the Nile, Ubangi and Congo. Among the groups are the Mestizos of the union of Pygmies and Hamitic and Ethiopian. The second group consists of the same bold and Hottentots this second group is larger. The first group of higher stature and lighter coloration is formed by the bamasa, the Sangana nzemzem and all the fang, which are included in the Yaoundé, Cameron bules, the ntum the bujebas etc. They are the second group Ibal, batangas, sUBUs, gumbo Cameron puts them in Gabon, Benga, the Kombo bapukus balengues and finally the Bubi of Fernando Poo.
supposed to be pursued Arab horses by seeking slaves and perhaps for the desertification of its original territory, as they tell their legends in their flight were looking the sea or a large body of water. His walk, which lasted perhaps two hundred years, headed southwest. Sanga came to the river changing direction, passed the Molundu, Misum found below the headwaters of a tributary of the Ntem Kom or Field and pursuing your path leaving the shores of Ocean, reached the Atlantic. Here they stopped and sat his royal established at the mouth of the Campo y Kribi. The departure of so many people and impassable jungles of Africa, made the groups were separated and changing the desire of their goals.
Settling in the Ntem River and Campo were multiplying and increasing the different tribes. In time came other more warlike and powerful tribes, seeing the Bubi rounded up, up and to flee from a new slavery, met the notables of the various sub-tribes to discuss the case resolved by mutual agreement as to leave those lands and clean it every other day could see the peak of the island of Bioko with its 3000 meters high, loomed boldly in the serene Tues Preparations began cutting trees to make canoes giant with those who thought up on the shores of this mountain they received. Reached agreement not to do it all at the same time, to better conceal their escape. They used to sail at night, dawn at sea, the journey took two days and the third came to the island. Employing large palm leaves by way of sailing and so much effort not wasted. Heading to northwest tip reached Santiago, called by the same boobies Mohale mebilal moe. In arriving at this point a few shifted to the north and another to the west. Those who did were the biabba northbound, Basakato, baloketoa, bantabarí, bieleleppa, Bahau, bakake, bariaobe. Those headed west were the babiaomo, balachalachá, Batet, Bokoko and Barek. The biabba were the first to set foot on land because as soon as Ferdinand arrived the bay that lies between the villages of Baho and formed by the tips Ababa Soledad Salvador, docked canoes and jumping to the ground immediately jumped on the plateau or plain, now called Valley Moka Bubis and the name of Riamba , Riabba or Riappa, according to the districts and in those plains and founded their real mountains. Others continued towards Concepcion where abandoned their boats and continued on foot. The Basakato saved the hills that between Concepción and San Carlos and were to be established north of the latter bay, leaving the baloketo on the slopes of both bays. Some came for the hill which lies to the south of Balach Riokoritcho and between the east side of the ridge and the Moka West Lake and these are the babiomo and balachálachá. Others followed, bumping with the Great Southern Caldera in which the river originates from the Bubi Tudela called Ole. To wade cost them fifteen days I heard some elders. The last who came from these waves seems to be that it was the Batete and Bokoko, among other reasons is that their language is closer to languages \u200b\u200bBengas Kombe and suggesting that they had closer contact with these ethnic Ndowe or shorebirds.
order not to dwell on this part we will put the Bubi districts of the island with their own names and those of its inhabitants in the singular and plural, according to the names in the North and South of it. Hence will be aware of how wrong we have been the boobies are not equal in giving names to the Bubi of different districts and these districts. Because such Batete Basupú or do not mean the district but their inhabitants, the names of those districts are Isupú and Obotehe Omotehe ù.

All this part have not been able to pass from my original reference and leave the district varies from name of its inhabitants and as singular or plural north or south of the island.
Back in the 1897 encontrábame in hound, where at that time used to go to their private businesses large crowds from Riabba Bubis, Balach, Boloko Ombori and all, and behold that one day the boss came Riringó accompanied by the principal of his people. After speaking of business for which he had come, the good boss tells me in a friendly hound, 'Father, DVDs have not been successful in establishing themselves in hound, much better off if he had founded a mission in Batete: there are many people and very eager to learn. Like, I replied, ignoring V. ten years ago is founded Mission Batete?. I said it to Obbi Omotêhe ga or ATA or buff, moal Omotêhé ikeddo Omotèhé AACO the Omotêhé bba or NNA. I am aware that much time must you Batete Mission in the South Batete but two, the Batete Batete South and North. Batete asked where the North? . I said, the North is Batete The territory between the West and Baney Basakato inclusive where batoikoppo live baloeri, basupú, Basil and bariabebola. For what it wanted me to understand the good man would have reported many benefits to establish ourselves among the baloeri (Boten) instead of hound. In 1914 I was in Baney and of course you could speak the dialect perfectly there, they spoke of Basupú Bubi West. One day I asked if I understood and the answer in their own dialect was: Bue Tool by 'a Batete toolala, or Ohalo moae Choe. Although Talk like you to understand him perfectly Batete.
The boobies that populate Boloko Heights and San Carlos Batete the latter arrived on the island. To reach those places occupied by batoikoppo, baloeri, basupú, Banapa, Basil and bariabebola. With the coming of the new people that country was unable to contain and feed so many people, so that the first settlers had fights with many deaths before the flood of new settlers. Losers being forced to sue for peace with the invaders and new Batet, reached an agreement that let them go if they were to live away from the area. Before embarking on the march were the Bojiammó, Mojiammó Mohiamorimó or guess to ask to where they should direct their steps. The Magician answered her that they sent some men to the mountains and seeking to catch a live deer nchon or Nchu, tie the neck of the animal with a bell and then sheared to get free. He ordered all the people with their heads in front was tracking the deer, did not stop anywhere until it stop and even deer might make him walk to the force, the animal refuses to take a step further and not fear that the spirit or pattern holder Batete morim accompany them and direct their steps to the place where they would be happy. This is why the South Batete lack spirit or morim owner, and he fled to North Batete primitive. The crossing lasted almost a week and to reach the West Basupú negose deer to walk, so they understood the sign of spirit protector. Basupú and baloeri as the noblest families chose for his residence the same place where the deer stopped. The Basupú baloeri East and West separated only by a ravine. The batoikoppo retreated a little to the west of the site erroneously called Toplapla baloeri. The Basilica stands basupú east of the peak in the foothills of the Santa Isabel, the Banapa occupied the plain north of the basil, between the Rio Agua Negra and San Nicolás.y bariabebola chose the northeastern part of the basilar dwelling is erected Borabetcho understood from the river to the ends of Baney.
Basakato Over time multiplied too, in such a way that the place occupied by them was small to hold so many people. From here originated continuing squabbles over ownership and land for palm plantations of yams and taro, often coming to blows being the cause of spilling some blood. On one occasion, two men disputed a palm wine all Basakato divided into two main camps, the largest and most powerful of which won the weaker, forcing the victors to the vanquished to emigrate. In their migrations were heading north, seeking entertainment the botoikoppo, baloeri, basupú, Banapa, Basil bariabebola in order to all North Batete and Baney and none of them admitted in their land. Finally reached the place inhabited by the basuala and how they were few in number and very large territory, they gave the southern part of the same, ranging from Bariaobe to the river passing the village playing Basakato Rebola of the East, Head which is now such a Borik. In time the Basakato seized by force of the stretch that goes from the said river to the small ravine that is south of Bau Basuala. In conclusion, the land that now holds the East Basakato basuala belonged to. But the two Basakato have the same origin, so much so that their dialect is identical.
The customs of the Bubis were formerly largely wild, barbaric and cruel. In a book written by a German businessman Gold Coast, then translated into English and printed in London in 1705 text read these words: The island of Fernando Poo in Inhabited by Savage and cruel sort of people, That Which I Not sorth deals ought to trust. And in a memory Portuguese treating the inhabitants of Fernando Poo that around the year 1810 a British ship docked in the bay of San Carlos to get water and a boat coming into the river, out of the forest a boobs patrol entirely naked armed with arrows made of very hard wood, called by them or mechika bechika and to crush the unfortunate killing of marines. Hence the horror of foreigners interned on the island I heard from the oldest to what is now farm Boloko Vivour of San Carlos, was the preferred place to build Batete South baloketo ambushed. In former times were cruel battles. Hiding in the weeds waiting for the baloketo Batete to come down to the beach and out of hiding suddenly killed the men and took away their land to women and children. The skip, to surprise and kill travelers betrayal was common among them, while a very powerful boss was could not hold the title of Boane or Boab equivalent to ours, Hero or illustrious men. But had killed an enemy personally and this had to be a betrayal, and also had five wives but EOTO, ie legitimate by their laws. This title is highly coveted because it is most honorable and few people do.
The most common causes of wars among them were the flight or abduction of a legitimate wife of the great men of the district and the theft of palm trees or killing each outstanding pumpkins to extract the same spirit. In time of war if it crossed the territory some unhappy, they cut the right hand. I've managed to see many maimed.

's people in ancient times was very large and the Risule which was somewhat smaller and closer Boloko villages and neighbors Basakato, also harassed incessantly these past was far lower. They see the numerical superiority of those, they avoided the confrontation reached such extremes more insults and abuses and insolence of the baloketo pudiéndoles not tolerate any longer the Basakato accepted the challenge and tried to measure forces with baloketo. The two met on a plain between the lake and the trail Claret open after the false name of San Carlos Road. The Basakato and fought a desperate and went to play the whole, were determined to overcome or die. They attacked with such force that thwarted his enemies and put confusion in their ranks. More then remaking them and getting the huge crowd and basule baeri on small armies of Basakato, they slaughter them, so that the plain was literally strewn with corpses and so defeated the Basakato being forced to sue for peace and surrender . Granted them peace on two conditions, 1 which they ceded the land between the rivers Baloh and Rupe. Baloh river is the Rio Grande and to call others pretending English all on this English island, called Big River. Rupee is passing through the estate of Chaco, so Riringo Ponofén and now belong to Boloko. 2, condition: that the Basakato have to pay basule baeri and an annual tribute of marriageable girls without determining the number of them. A much humiliation forced the unhappy Basakato viéronse. So that explains why so few girls are marriageable Basakato West.
The public and private vendettas were almost daily. There were two girls in Bokoko were two marvels of perfection and beauty. The main Mochuku Batete called Mai, loved them and asked his family, more like Mai was taken as a declared enemy of the Bokoko, the family of the girls refused. Mai in his anger swore revenge cruelly the Bokoko. He gathered all his faithful Batet, Armola and went with them cercanjñías ambush in the town where the girls lived. This happened in the era of farming. The Bokoko were leaving their jobs in the village children and the elderly and women who were raising. Also were the two beautiful maidens. After the people came out Batete was out of their ambush, they slaughtered all the little one with life while taking the two beautiful and took them with great pomp and gaiety to Rihata or Rijata Mai. Seeing the success of his action and tried to repeat it took the mountain road, but came Bakoko ears of the news that Batete repeat their crimes again. Hid well armed on both sides of a large ravine where they had to pass Batet. Caught in the crossfire and unable to flee was a horrible massacre and took prisoner muchuku Mai. Was hanged in public square Bokoko. Mai died again flourish in peace and prosperity and Bokoko Batete friends shaking but had gotten into the heart of the slaughter of their small and furtively looked for revenge and timely one night they had in custody a large number of children slaughtered them everyone. Hence, new wars were lit in the struggles highlighted the Baleh they were the best Batete warriors whom the deceased Vivour surnamed Bualalókolo, a word that means spicy Soldier.
This state of affairs lasted until 1880 at which time seeing the supreme Muchuku of Riappa called Moka, who continued in that form the final extermination of the race was fast and secure Bubi, gave an edict banning under very severe penalties that no people or particular take the law into their own and in case of complaint, to submit the same to him as a king who was the boobies. For this set up a body of light troops that were in the villages to do justice and punishing the guilty. This team called Lohues or Lojúa. At last the year 1888, Father Jaime High Pines Maria Cristina (Batete) prevented the execution of Bateha of Balach muchuku called Mohale who was sentenced to be beheaded. Recent raids by the Lojúa took place in January 1895 that advised the governor José de la Puente Batete by parents that was in Balach Lojúa sent the scattered armed sailors. Fernando
