[1] Nyindu are known for their agronomic customs, including the cultivation of staples such as Zea mays (maize), Manihot esculenta (cassava), and Phaseolus (beans).

[1] Moreover, some Nyindu people affiliated with the Kabila ya Banyindu share clans with the Lega, Fuliiru, and Vira, including the Batumba, Balambo, and Banyemganga.

[1][8][9] In recent decades, the Nyindu have faced substantial adversities, such as conflict and displacement induced by political instability and armed factions in the region.

On August 24, 1998, during the Second Congo War, a massacre was perpetrated by the Rally for Congolese Democracy and the Rwandan Patriotic Army in Kasika and its neighboring villages, which resulted in over 1,000 fatalities, the majority of whom were Nyindu.

As of 1977, the principal crops included cassava (Manihot utilissima), maize (Zea mays), kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), and banana (Musa × paradisiaca).

According to Belgian scholar of Central African art, Daniel P. Biebuyck, the Nyindu have the closest cultural and historical connections with the Lega people among neighboring ethnic groups.
