IS IT BAFORCHU OR MBU?
I had always thought that the generic name for the Mbu (Baforchu) family which consists of Mbu, Santa Mbei, Baforkum, Baba II, Banjah, Mundum of Bali and Ngyen Mbo, was `Baforchu`.
However, a history document I read recently has it the other way round. The article which is entitled, `the Mankon Confederacy` is published in a booklet entitled “FOCUS OF NUKWI NU FO NDEFRU III: MANKON CULTURAL FESTIVAL 23rd- 31st December 1984”. It is authored by F.A. Ndenge and edited by Yalla Eballa and Emmanuel Aloangamo.
According to the source, “On the whole the confereation was well protected and had a population of about 15 000 inhaitants; speaking practically one dialect and capable of tracing their origin to a common ancestor. Because of their military supremamcy the confederation was later joined by the Mbu group of families, namely: Mbu, Ba`,Mbei,Ngyenmbu and Fomudum of Bali.”
So can anyone else state which version is authentic?
