Years
of the Fondom, by the longest account
How old the Fondom is depends on which account you follow — the history page shows all three and does not pick one.
What the Manjong does
Twelve things this platform keeps for you
A book nobody can quietly edit, a notice that reaches the diaspora, a register that says who really turned out. Each one is open to the people it belongs to and closed to everybody else.
The Fondom
A history that did not stop at independence
From the Tikar migration to the wars of 1901, from a palace burned in 1907 and raised again by 1910, to a Fondom of more than a hundred thousand people today — with its children scattered across the world.
Every statement carries where it came from. Where the sources disagree, we show the disagreement instead of settling it for you.
Stories
Worth knowing about your own people
Short accounts from the Fondom's history, each one sourced.
The Fondom
Where all of this comes from
The palace and its compound, the gateway, the courtyard when it fills. Supplied by the association — and any of them can be swapped for a better one from the back office.
Where you are from
Eight Village Councils, 46 quarters
Register under your council and quarter, and the Manjong can find you — for a meeting, a project, a bereavement, or an opportunity meant for your people.
