Famous Cameroon jazz bassist and musician Richard Bona brings us close to his world through his regular updates of his work and personal life.

A few days ago, he posted an image which took him back to his young years - almost 30 years back to when he was in his 20s dressed in jeans held up by a belt and braces and a light tee shirt and boots with the caption: "20 Years old Ninja :-))) In my hood (bonakouamouang) derriere de la Salle. Looking @ some old pictures...hahaha really funny...I was something...Qui me pouvait meme???"

We took the liberty of doing a then and now and here is what bonalicious Richard Bona looked/looks like.
