Notes
Widikum-Boffe: hardwork on the hills
A Presidential Decree signed on September 1st 1992 created Widikum Sub Division. It is one of the five subdivisions that make up Momo Division of the North West Region.
The Board council of 25 councilors always reflect on development issues based on current and anticipated situation within the council and the environment in which it operates. It ceased the opportunity of the tarring of the Bamenda-Mamfe road, the fertile soil, the Palm oil, the exploitation of stones quarry by Chinese companies, the hard working and dynamic people, the great weekly market, and also the available land to expand activities to gather incomes.
History
Oral Tradition holds that Widikum people originated from a hill near the villages of Bamben and Numben. Egun Oyimi is generally accepted as the ancestral home of all Widikum speaking people found in Momo division, parts of Mezam, Lebialem, Manyu, Menchum, Menoua and Bamboutus divisions.
As far as Widikum subdivision is concerned, out of 42 villages, 9 belong to the Widikum people (Widikum-Tikom, Widikum- Boffe, Widikum-Abegum, Widikum-Diche I, Widikum-Diche II, Widikum-Elum, Widikum-Bamben, Widikum-Angwi, Widikum-Abeduh). They all have the same history and culture.
The ancestral father of the Widikum people is said to be Okum. Among his many sons were: Iyire Okum, Ngie Okum, Achu-okum etc
Who founded the various clans within the Widikum Ethnic group. Historians and archaeologists are invited to visit Egun Oyimi and Eti-ampany where traces of this ancestral history are still visible.
