From Piti, northeast of Douala, Ewale migrated to the coast to the east bank of Wouri River. The Bakole probably splintered from the Duala proper at some point and made their way west to their current territory.
The Ewale people originated in Piti, near Douala, and later relocated to the eastern bank of the Wouri River. Meanwhile, the Bakole tribe probably diverged from the main Duala population and migrated west to their present-day location.
