R.A.M Tebo II of Batibo

Mba II in 2005 amidst great political, cultural and economic anxiety in the Batibo Fondom.

Starting in Edea where he owned a small business, he retrained in accounting with the British School of accounting, Douala, and then worked for Guinness Cameroon briefly before leaving for an International transportation company that took him off the shores of Cameroon to Dubai.

The history of the Batibo Palace[2] and Fondon is intractably linked to that of the entire Widikum tribe in the North Western Region of Cameroon.

It dates as far back as to the mid 17th century, when lovebirds Tembeka and Akumaka defected from a wave of Bantu migrants[3] and settled in Tegheben, in a quarter called Tad in today's Batibo, two miles south of the current Batibo palace.

Njei Tegha who succeeded Tembeka evacuated his father's compound and erected his own palace at Gowi quarters, located about a mile north of Tegheben.

Palace historian Prince Hansel Mba, the eldest son of Fon Mba II writing in a publication "A birds Eye View" published by the Batibo Rural Council, notes that much animosity was often nursed against a named successor, and his life was always threatened by his brothers.
