By Peter Adi Fonte

Patrick Wirba, 56, was, September 9, enthroned as the new Second Class Fon Molo II of Nkar.

H.R.H Molo II

According to statistics, which are yet to be verified, Fon Molo II would be reigning over a population estimated at 80,000.Fon Molo II, who was enthroned by kingmakers made up of the first seven nobles of Nkar, Tahwerong and Ataar Ntoh, made his first public appearance on September 13.

Fon Molo II replaces Fon Tume Ntani II who "disappeared" aged above 80 and who had ruled Nkar for 56 years. Fon Tume Ntani II took over from late Fon Ntani I, who reigned for only ten years.

Late Fon Ntani II, who was enthroned in 1952, was recognized as a Second Class Fon by the West Cameroon government in 1961.During the mourning period that will be broken down into 12 days for a period of two months as the tradition demands, only vegetables will be harvested and there will be no farm work in Nkar.

The women would tie only their loin cloths above their breasts without blouses.The Nso Nwerong and Yee Nwerong as well as the Manjong groups and jujus of Nkar Palace will be displaying.

Many thanks go to Shifais, Kibai, Nsam and Loboiy as well as retired military staff sergeant, Sylvester Bangfegha, who played the role of palace protocol officer that facilitated the contact with Molo II.

The representatives of the Fons of Babessi and Bamunka came to Nkar to condole as well as congratulate the new Fon.The staff, students, the PTA and School Council of GSS Nkar came with gifts and wood to support the new Fon.

Other prominent visitors on the occasion included General Ivo Yenwo, the Director of Presidential Security, the Jakiri Divisional officer, Konge Handerson Quetong, and the Fon of Nseh.

Fon Molo II before his enthronement was an expert knitter and weaver of traditional caps and dresses in Jakiri.After completing Standard Six, Fon Molo II took up appointment as a support staff at the Cameroon Embassy in Lagos, Nigeria for seven years.

The Fon said when Paul Biya became president and the economic crisis set in, coupled with the embassy's inability to pay the support staff, he was laid off.He said after his retrenchment, he thought it better to return to Cameroon and take up farming as a means of livelihood.

Molo II said his greatest ambition would be to build a modern palace for the Nkar Fondom that will meet modern standards.He said all the roads leading to the palace that hamper smooth travelling would be repaired, while new roads to usher in more development in Nkar would be opened.

Besides this, Fon Molo II called on all the elites of Nkar residing outside the Fondom to come home and construct modern houses so as to boost the development of Nkar.

A fon aged 80 disappeared?Coded language or plain.The traditional observance in this case is counterproductive.Such should be debunked.Sympathy expression must sincerely come from the mind and not to be impossed.

I am very proud of our new Fon as I vividly remember His Royal Highness from our days in Lagos, Nigeria.
Long Live the King!

THESE FONS OR WHATEVER THEY ARE CALLED ARE BIYA'S ASS-LICKERS AND COCKSUCKERS.THEY SHOULD STOP FOOLING AROUND AND GET A LIFE.THIS IS REALITY AND THEY MUST FACE IT.

Legima Doh,
This is the second time you are raising up this question about a Fon that disappears. I thought you come from the NW! Where were you brought up?
However, the language is not limited to the Fons of NW; it is global. We say a King disappears and not dies.
