The Balondo-Ba-Konja History: The Elders’ Narrative

Within the pages of The Balondo-Ba-Konja History: The Elders’ Narrative, Dr. Aja Oro, author and Balondo scholar, properly documents the history of his people, beginning with the evolution of the original birthplace of Balondo civilization in the Democratic Republic of the Congo region, including the events leading to its transfer from the Congo to Calabar, Nigeria (First Voyage), and from Nigeria to its present geographical location in the South-west littoral region of Cameroon (Second Voyage). He also details the concerted efforts made by his people to ensure cultural continuity in its natural form despite the intrusions of unsolicited change as made manifest in the Balondo Wars.
