THE RISE AND FALL OF THE NGEMBA CONFEDERATION.
Mankon oral history has it that when the Mankon people arrived Alahnkie, they were structured into seven clans with seven clan heads and one supreme King(Fo).
However, one of the Mankon Princesses, Princess Bih Magha was afraid they might be circumlocuting back to the same spot they came from. Thus after coming to agreement with the then king (Nde Magha the VI), she took part of the crowd and led them south who became the present day Pinyin people.

The History Behind Us
Our History
Bambili is the name of the place where the Mbili people live. It is a break-away village of the Tikari tribe that migrated from northern Cameroon and resettled in Ndop. They were later supplanted by another larger migrant group from Widikum that has hitherto been the ruling family in Bambili. The Ncho’odilem family (the original Mbili royal family) has consequently been left with only ceremonial functions in the governing of the village. The current ruler, the fourteenth, is Afungchwi III, and Ncho’odilem is a sub-chief. The traditional ruler of Bambili is called Ifuo ‘chief’ or ‘fon.’ The palace, the residence of the royal family, has been changed twice.
