About these names

Addresses work by quartier and landmark more than by house number: tell the driver the district and a nearby landmark, and keep a screenshot of a map pin.

Bonanjo (the old administrative quarter, the cathedral and the government streets) lies south-west near the river; Akwa (hotels, banks, restaurants) is the commercial centre to its north-east; Bonapriso is the quieter residential district to the south; Mboppi and New Bell lie east and are busy market districts; Bonabéri is across the Wouri bridge.
