Talk:Banana, Democratic Republic of the Congo

Untitled
The is no "ville de Banana" (I've been there in 2003), but just a little town. "Ville" (city) has a legal definition in DRC, and the only villes of the province are Boma and Matadi. There are only one or two hundred inhabitants, and mainly soldiers, autorities, the port. The place is simply a part of the Moanda territory, and the urban Moanda is 15 kilometers north. The historical Banana lays east, on the other side of the bay (ruins).

I hope it makes more sense now... I agree that it is really not a city. See it takes so much time to do these cities/provinces templates, that I decided to start with the ones I actually have been to. That is all. But I will be more careful next. The Malau 2:40, 18 February 2006 (EST)

People of Banana
I am pleased to see that People of Banana, not redirected exists. I won't quibble over whether it should redirect to Banana, Democratic Republic of the Congo. I discovered this phrase on p. 327 of All the Knowledge in the World. It's worth noting&mdash;and here I am citing Garfield's book&mdash;that the venerable Encyclopaedia Britannica, Eleventh Edition says werewolves "in leopard form" were found among the people of this DRC seaport. Knowledge evolves. &mdash; tbc (talk) 21:17, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
