ENYENGE PALAVA. PART 1

ENYENGE PALAVA AUGUST 2022.

John wrote: Good afternoon family members. I understand that a family meeting was convened and chaired by ma Ndumbe recently to talk about the chieftaincy issue in Enyenge.

Let it be known that Enyenge concerns basically the Jesco Manga Williams family of which I am the head.

Common sense would have required of all the attendees of that meeting to question my absence or that of my brother Makaka.

It is obvious that I cannot get myself involved in things that concern the Dia Ndumbe family or Ferguson family etc. So please those who think that anything can happen behind me should think twice. God bless you all.

J-Janjo replied John Williams: Mbamba chief, your royal highness, with all respect please discuss this issue behind the scenes with wisdom.

You are not only head of Jesco family. You are now head of Manga Williams as well as Nambeke family so please stand your ground with decorum Let the cohesion within the family which followed your coronation be continuously sustained Auntie Maggie please gather some elders to resolve this issue. Neither Auntie Ndumbe nor Ferguson family are interested to usurped Jesco inheritance It will be a shame if something perceived to be good is used to divide us again. We are not a cursed family where unity is mortgaged to the devil I stand for peace and unity. I salute you Mbamba Chief

J-Janjo replied Ludwig My uncle Ludwig, I salute you. I have waited for any other elder in this forum to step in and call you to order as you have correctly called me in the past but the elders have kept quiet. I do not know if it is wisdom or just hypocrisy!!

Our President is not feeling well at this time but others should have intervened. Nero can't afford to fiddle while Rome Burns!!

I will step in to bell the cat because a true elder should not sit by the market place and watch an animal give birth in thethers!!

Please my brother the tone and wordings of what you wrote in this forum was uncalled for. You should not write in a public forum and pass an order on everyone in the forum. It is not done!!

Secondly you lean on "your brother"????

Are you now distinguishing who is your brother and who is not? We are all your brothers assisted. We are one family unless you are teaching us a new lesson?

Remember that it is this same family that put Mbamba Chief on the pedestal that he sits. We all as a family will hold the ladder steady for him to remain where he is.

I put it to you that on the day Mbamba was elevated to the rank of Paramount Chief, he became not a brother to any but father to all in this family and father to the Bimbia Clan. This to me as a traditionalist is the true fact. Do you object to this?

This matter was brought to this forum in error!! It should have been handled behind the scenes by the elders of the family You have made the matter worse by decreeing that it must not be discussed here!! Please Bra, its not all who wear trousers are MEN some are boys, others are women and some are even young girls!!

When a woman is about giving birth in the market place, you cannot bully her to close her legs. If you do, you risk the life of the unborn.

Now let me say it clearly. The matter about Enyenge is about who will be Chief there. Our brother Jerry has called out to the family to support him to fight a graffi usurper and I have answered my brothers call because It is only correct the Jerry becomes Chief of Enyenge. If we all rallied and fought to place Mbamba Chief on the stool as Paramount Chief of Victoria, we all must do same for Jerry. Let those who will support our brother Jerry and who coincidentally is from one womb as Mbamba Chief stand up now and be counted!!

Let those who support that a gradfi man be installed as Chief in Enyenge also form their line.

However, children should stay away from either lines. This is going to be a fight between Wonya Nambeke MEN and post menopausal women against a graffi impostor!!! Ìt is time for gloves to be pulled off!! It is going to be bare fist combat!!! Physically, spiritually and all!!

Any person who will oppose Jerry Jesco Manga Williams as Chief of Enyenge will be made to visit King Bile!!

Jerry wrote: Greetings to the family.

On behalf of the esteemed cream of people of the Enyenge chiefdom, I wish to acknowledge everyone of us hereon who by that instance, does constitute our once abandoned but now resuscitated Enyenge village.

Having said the above and to boot, I wish to draw everyone's attention to the binding family declaration made in 2015 by members of the enlarged family, fixing Enyenge Fishing port, founded by our forebear, as the general family village. On the strength of that legal document, all family as hereon decided and constituted shall become members of the village and no longer the private property of our beloved father, Late Prince Jesco M Williams who intervivos had prayed yours truly (me) to make sure the the family name prevails. How else can the family prevail than to include all extended family of Late King Johannes Nambeke Manga Williams to become villagers the case may be and because I was instructed intervivos to do and so, we have done presently.

The family must be united in this endeavour and think inclusiveness.

Grandpa Nambeke was a king who included his kins and also his kith in his reign.

I will recall a fact.

17 Bamboko villages from Kumba Division in the late 1920s had written a petition to the Governor, pleading with the administration to transfer their administrative areas from the Kumba Division to the Victoria Division. And their reason was that, King Nambeke was their father. A husbandman. A reach out man.

Let us shun divisiveness and embrace cohesion.

Some of our family members have reached out to me, telling me that they have been told that Enyenge belongs only to the Jesco Family. I want to assure them that, my siblings and I shall never pronounce that declaration. I shall never allow that to happen and there's a reason for that.

Bamba Nambeke will be turning in his grave. NEVER. I hold legal documents to back my stand

that Enyenge shall be for the family village. No body should gainsay please. Let cohesion and love reign.

Enyenge was founded by our forebear and we all are his progeny and villagers thereof Enyenge.

We shall make it grow both patrilineally and matrilineally.

Final full stop. We need a village of more than 500 family members who are villagers. It is our moment and the time is now.

Let's move on.

We thank Ma Ndumbe for steering this process. We thank Bra Ekow for having conveyed this motion to our ancestors and we thank all members present during the meeting last week for having drunk from the same glass, the same water which was shared with our ancestors, evoked by Bra Ekow to seal the family and receive the blessings from God, communicated by Reverend Eko Burnley. We thank all members who have sacrificed their hard earned resources to contribute financially since 2015. We are still thankful to everyone who is still doing so presently.

As Commissaire Divisionaire Janjo always says, we go die for Enyenge. I want to acknowledge the tenacity of our kingmakers, my two senior brother whom I love and pray to buy this motion, my other senior brothers whom I love and congratulate them for having bought this motion and have played a remarkable role.

We shall be acknowledging more people.

Thank you for your attention Ѹ

Margaret replied Jerry: Thank u dear.

All hands on deck. No time to waste

J-Janjo replied Jerry: Bra Jerry, I stand with you in honour and in truth. Let love reign On the other hand let my extended hand of love not be misconstrued as cowardice.

That same hand open in embrace can be closed and it will become thor's hammer Auntie Ndumbe deserves an apology. Period!

Jerry relied Margaret: No time to waste dearest big sister

Jerry relied J-Janjo: Chief JJ Williams. Unity shall prevail by God's grace. We pray for forgiveness on behalf of anyone who mistakenly injured anyone. Ma Ndumbe will lead us to the promised land. Ahead ahead

Beboi wrote: God is Good. We are all God’s children. And we’re all one family.

I wholeheartedly give my support and encouragement to brother Jerry. We should be proud of his vision, his love of family and his act of commitment towards family.

Let us all join together in love and determination to create together what has never existed before in our times.

Jerry relied Margaret: Amen

Jerry replied Beboi: My dearest sister, Amen.

In Bimbia we shall summarize your comment as motomoko. One love Emena wrote: Greetings to the entire family.

If I have to say something here , I believe I would start with my visit to Enyenge with Bamba JESCO. I can never forget that trip, but what I discovered that day was so amazing and so interesting, a beautiful place nice people so welcoming I mean I was just do proud to belong to this family.

But just like mola Jerry just said above we need to stand as a family in other to make Enyenge great.

It's true that many us haven't been there but I can assure Enyenge is a treasure that one person cannot manage.

Only a big and United family can again attempt to manage such a treasure.

Or a community, or a nation etc.

I can only support this initiative and accept to be part of it...

I welcome this initiative hole heartedly.

Good evening to all

Jerry relied Emena: My Chief, bra Emena, the family must be one today, tomorrow and forever. Posterity will sanction us. We must act consistently so. Olé
