Sankie Maimo

Sankie Maimo was a writer from British Southern Cameroons. Maimo moved to Ibadan, Nigeria, where he worked as a school teacher. He stayed in Nigeria from 1949 to 1962, where he founded the journal Cameroon Voice in 1955. This was followed by a play called I Am Vindicated in 1930, and a children's book called Adventuring with Jaja in 1972. He later produced his second play Sov-Mbang the Soothsayer in 1968, which was the only English book published by C.L.E. His works advocated the adoption of European values as a means to bring Africa into the wider world.
