SO WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE FON OF MBU (BAFORCHU)?

SO WHAT HAPPENS TO THE FON OF MBU (BAFORCHU)?

Sometime ago, Tomfon Patrick Fombe, an elite of Mbu (Baforchu) made available to the public including online, a number of correspondences to the effect that the Fon of Mbu (Baforchu) Mokorokah III was mismanaging the village.

In his covering note, Tomfon said: “Dear brothers and sisters, it is sad but we thought we should inform you. We pray someone to provide the magic wand. Love. Tomfon Fombe Patrick.”

Four months have passed, yet I have not heard another word about the issue. Has anyone heard? What is Tomfon Fombe Patrick thinkingnow?  The President General of MBUDCA (The Mbu-Baforchu Cultural and Development Association) Tomfon Aaron Mancho reacted online by saying he would take time and digest the documents (my own words) before responding. I could gather from his tone that he had not been involved in the saga from the beginning. I wonder why before taking the matter to the public square, it was not handed to MBUDCA to examine. Failing that, one of the other Fon`s in the Baforchu family (Ngyen Mbo, Santa Mbei, Baforkum, Njah  or Baba II) could have been solicited. The village is well organized and structured. What steps do custom and tradition recommend in such circumstances? Were they taken? In other words, has anyone found the “magic wand”? What did Tomfon Fombe Patrick envisage in the event of no one coming up with the magic wand?

So, what is the latest development? Has a way forward been found? Did Tomfon Fombe Patrick envisage a “Plan B”? If so, what was it? By exposing the issue to the public, was the Fon expected to respond as if this was a tribunal? If he had to, who should he address himself to?

Perhaps Tomfon Fombe Patrick should give us an update.
