The people who make up part of the semi Bantu ethnic group of Cameroon are said to have originated from Mbeitong near Ntadkon in present day Mezam Division in the Northwest Province. These people were forced to migrate south because of the spread of Islam in west and central Africa. They then migrated in two waves one through Oshum, Widikum and Ngie. The other through Njinibi and Frigyien. These people today occupy a land surface estimated at 70 square kilometers and has as extreme coordinates of 6 degrees 5' and 6 degrees 13' North of the equator and 9 degrees 45' and 9 degrees 55' east of the Greenwich meridian. It is located to the east of Njikwa Sub-division in Momo Division and forms a geographical gate way into Njikwa. The present site was initially inhabited by the Konda and Beba people, who were driven out by the migrant Oshie people. Early settlement sites were places such as Tikob, Edek, and Togobeiku. These sites were chosen for defensive purposes, taking advantage of the strategic landscape.
