Bimbia’s History.
The Bimbia culture, history and tradition, although rich, is not often practiced and is mostly oral. The predominant Isubu history holds that the group hails from Mboko, the area southwest of Mount Cameroon. Tradition makes them the descendants of Isuwu na Monanga, who led their migration to the west bank. When a descendant of Isuwu named Mbimbi became king, the people began to refer to their territories as Bimbia.

The Bimbia Heritage Project
Many of us had the honor to sit at the feet of our grandparents as they recounted the history of our village. I even have their words recorded on tape. Their stories replay in my mind now as I contemplate the future of Bimbia. These tales serve as my inspiration and my foundation as I embark upon this project.
