Kwane a Ngie, known in British records as Angua or Quan, was a Duala ruler from the Bonambela sublineage who flourished from 1788 to 1790 in Douala, Cameroon.
The British slave trade was at its height at this time, and, although a rival ruler from the Bonanjo sublineage named George or Joss reigned simultaneously, British records point to Kwane as the more powerful or respected leader.
[1] The records of the British ship Sarah in 1790 indicate that while George received custom from traders, "Angua" got a bigger "dash" (bonus gift) and sold 50 slaves to George's 40.
[2] This rivalry with George is the earliest indication that the Duala people were fragmenting into rival Akwa and Bell lineages.
[3] Angua was succeeded by his son, Ewonde a Kwane.
