Overview

"Fundamentals of Balondo Society is a good book that is unapologetically written from a Balondo-centered perspective by Aja Oro, a ""Morondo Kpaa"" or a true son of the soil, whose undying resolve had been to transfer his people's narrative from the oral to the written culture. In a bid to transfer such information from an anterior source to the newer posterior one, the effort entailed was largely realized through the use a thematic approach, to outline short but detailed accounts of the cultural traditions of his people as well as their migratory patterns across three predominantly West African maritime countries: the Congo, Calabar, Nigeria and then the South-west littoral coast of Cameroon. Interestingly enough, all of the details that have been documented in the book are structured around one main philosophy, which is the empowering of Balondo-bakonja society to still own and protect their Discourse, so that they can continue to be the Center from where all references to Balondo emanates before being disseminated elsewhere. In this context, both the sanctity and authenticity of Balondo-bakonja phenomena will continue to remain inviolable in this world of competing ideas from diverse cultures that are embroiled in the intellectual politics of world domination."
