It should be noted that the Wimbum people have several traditional titles often conferred on meritorious sons and daughters amongst them the Sheys. The Sheys are members of the village supreme organ known as "Kwifon, Ngumba or Nwarong and Ngiri secret societies. The title of Shey is always marked by the wearing of a special cap on the beneficiary. Some of the titles are inherited while others are conferred the title for doing extraordinary things in the village. The Sheys and Tantohs are the leaders of Nwarong and until a young man is initiated, he can never enter the Nwarong house. The Nwarong is part of the Wimbum Cultural heritage with its title holders spread nationwide and even in the diasporas. In the Wimbum traditional setup, Sheys have a very important role to play in enhancing cultural and social values.
