| HRH Fon Tamukum II of Bambili |
Sons and daughters of Bambili village
(Mezam Division) in the North West Region of Cameroon are preparing for a
cultural fiesta which kick-starts on February 7, 2014. This groundbreaking two-in-one
celebration of February 7, 2014 promises to be the biggest crowd puller of the
year given the magnitude of the event. According to the hint, all is now set
for the cultural fiesta at the Bambili Fon’s palace that will begin with the
public presentation of the newly enthroned traditional ruler of the (Mbili)
Bambili people, HRH Fon Tamukum II and the commencement of the funeral
celebration of HRH Late Fon Awemo II. Gun firing, masquerades display, singing
and dancing will take the central stage for at least four weeks commencing
February 7. North West Governor, Adolph Lele Lafrique as well as the Senior
Divisional Officer for Mezam Nguele Nguele Philip are also expected to join in
the celebrations marking the life of HRH Fon Awemo II. North West traditional rulers
as well as key political figures of the region will also mark their presence to
pay homage to the departed hero. HRH Fon
Awemo II is accredited for his contribution towards the development of Bambili
village. He allocated land to host the University of Bamenda, the Regional
College of Agriculture, ENS and many other institution of higher learning.
Before passing away to eternity, he left an indelible mark of greatness. He was
the eleventh ruler of the industrious Mbili(Bambili) of the North West Region.
HRH Fon Tamukum II succeeded Late
Fon Awemo II and he is the 12th ruler of the (Mbili) Bambili people.
Historically, the Mbili people (Bambili today) are of the Tikari tribe.
