There was fanfare at Binjeng Fon's Palace in Nkambe Central where thousands gathered on December 6, 2021 to witness the public presentation of HRH Fon Eugene Nfor Nkwinamor V. The euphoria that saluted the appearance of the first public appearance of the fon was in strict Wimbum culture and tradition. It was a moment of solemnity marked by royalty and nobility for the few leaders of the nwarong society. Not even the voice of a crying baby and not to talk of an enchanting bird is heard during the ceremony. Only the gong and members of the nwarong society who are accompanying the new fon are allowed to talk.
It is a unique moment that the Yee-nwarong also makes a public appearance and majestically walks the palace yard in snail steps. It is equally the only moment, whereby the nwarong which is the supreme authority of the land, sends a message and tells the people some of the things that an ordinary can never see. It is the unique moment where the barren are blessed to bear children and the land is blessed for more heaviest. A once in a lifetime event in the life of every village that the real strong men who see tomorrow make of public pronouncements of what tomorrow holds.
The event at Binjeng was magnificent in colours, it portrayed the rich cultural heritage of the Wimbum people. 32 years old Fon Eugene Nfor Nkwinamor before his enthronement was an engineer and was enthroned to succeed his father. It is alleged that following Prefectoral Order No 003/200 of July 10, 2000, the administration 
recognized Binjeng as a third class fondom.
