Banana Yaya was born in a Chocolate factory in Maroua in 1991. The factory used to be a secret base for ducks and then was taken over by some native Cameroon tribes which then was bought by Thorn Yaya (Banana’s father) and became a factory. The factory was huge which was a perfect place for practising soccer for little Banana. However, he was not swag enough so he broke many machines when trying to dance with the ball. Fortunately, his brother Toure was smart enough to fix all the machine with sticks and bones he stole from the tribes.
