The population of Mbongong and Mbororo community in Ndu subdivision have received humanitarian assistance consists of a consignment of basic needs and food items from Ndu council, Wimbum Cultural and Development Association, WICUDA, and the honorable MP for Ndu, Hon. Naomi Ngando. 

The goodwill gesture happened on Saturday April 16, 2022 at the Ndu council esplanade. The donation was made to the displaced population of Mbongong affected by the recent crises of March 29th that led to death of four persons and destruction of properties according to authorities of the area. 

Donated items made of sugar, groundnut oil and rice. 

The crises started when three mbororo men were executed in cold blood by suspected separatists operating in the area. In retaliation, the Mbororo community went on rampage and burnt houses in Mbongong which resulted to one person losing his life. The body language of both communities indicated regret for the senseless lost of lives and significant material damages. 

In an exchange with this reporter, residents say calm has return to the area with a call for peaceful coexistence to reign among the two communities as it has been in the years past. 

Speaking during the distribution exercise, Mayor Abdou Kanfon Borno reiterated that, nobody is a stranger in mbongong and we shall continue to live together as one people. The item shared ranges from food to mattresses, blankets, dresses among others. 

The Ndu Council donated 100 bags of 25kg rice, 30 cartons of groundnut oi, 10 bags of maiz, 5 bags of beans, 10 cartons of sugar an, 50 two-place matrasses. Meanwhile the MP for Ndu, Hon Ngando Naomi Mbonyor and WICUDA donated 20 bags of 50kgs rice, 4 belts of used clothes and blankets, 3 bags of maize and 2 bags of beans.

Speaking on behalf of the Ndu Council Mayor, Ibrahim Jiberu Ndzi used the tongue/teeth relationship to emphasize the need for peaceful coexistence despite man's imperfections and his tendency to sin. 

Imam Ahmadu Babaiya, speaking for the Mbongong Community expressed his satisfaction to the donors, thanked them immensely and prayed that Allah bless them abundantly for this wonderful act of generosity. The Joro of Mbongong, Abdullai Ndzi equally extended the deepest regards of the affected Community to these friends in time of need. 

Regretting on the recent crises, Imam Ahmadu Babaiya, cries out over helplessness of the population of Mbongong in the face of growing insecurity in the area and called on the living forces of Ndu to help reconcile the Wimbum and the Fulani communities of Mbongong as there were still visible signs of tension. In times like this, he continued, it's needless crying over spilled milk and concentrate efforts towards averting future reoccurrence.

Speaking shortly after the donation, for the Fulani community, Alhadji Yukuda Nana expressed deep feelings and added that the gesture was timely judging from their precarious condition. He said they know only Mbongong village and no other place in this wide world. Living in peace with their Wimbum brothers, he said, is not only necessary but an imperative. He added that they are very conscious of the need for peaceful coexistence and shall exploit any given opportunity to work towards that. 

After receiving their own basic needs and food items, the fon of Fuh sub-palace, Fai Ngantu and the representative of Fai Ngotong all expressed happiness for the goodwill gesture and in turns recounted their ordeal with the influx of people from Mbongong on that faithful day and the days that ensued. 

The goodwill gesture was a huge success and feedback from both communities reiterated hope. The ground is very fertile to sow the seed of reconciliation. The population of Ndu however have called on authorities of Ndu to seize the opportunity, for "a stitch in time, it is said,  saves nine."
