JAÑ AMHARA:MULTIPLICATION OF THE CHIEFDOMS IN BIPINDI OR OCEAN FIRST PART CONTINUATION: ORIGIN & IDENTIFICATION OF THE NYONG ENOAH ( ENADI / REER-NUUR  MAKAAHIL).

Introduction: Beautiful image of the large landing place of Ebogo Enoah (Cabdi Xirsi or Enadi line of Ngumbuur III of Xirsi Cismaan (abtirsi language or Somali for Cabdi Xirsi and Enadi people line in Amharic of Shewa area)) village on the left bank of the Nyong River between the city of Mbalmayo and the city of Ngomedzap, in the woreda or administrative zone of Nyong-and-Soo, Centre region, State of Cameroon, Imperial Crown of Ye-Itiyōpya.

Ebogo or Eboko village is a traditional 3rd-degree chiefdom that is part of the upper 2nd-degree chiefdom of Enoah & Ngwe grouping of the district of Mengueme, Nyong-and-Soo division (woreda or administrative zone), Ebogo is a popular tourist centre because it is home to the great tourist centre of Ebogo, where tourists come from all over the world to visit the Nyong River.

Ebogo is also one of the most active fishing centers of the Nyong River, here fishing is part of the basic economy of the Enoah or Enadi and Ngwe of this part of the Nyong River.

We are here in the heart of the Enoah (or Enadi or Cabdi Xirsi) country of the banks of the Nyong river, and by this beautiful image of the landing place of the Ebogo village, we take this opportunity to present you the continuation of our section on the multiplication or conguest of the traditional chiefdoms of Bipindi by Amhara princes and leaders Amhara with the Enoah (or Enadi) chiefdom of Mvengue, which we will first tell you about the origins of the Enoah people (Enadi), the indigenous people both of the city of Mvengue the district capital of the same name and of both the leadership of the Enoah Mvengue grouping of the same district.

But it was princes and Amhara leaders who were in the lead.

I-ORIGIN OF ENOAH OR ENADI (REER-NUUR MAKAAHIL OF CAMEROON):

I.1- Identification of the Nyong river Enoah in the composition of the Yeshaaq or Isaaq Amhara peoples

Enoah, Enoa,Eynoah, Enô'ô, Nôhô, Nu'u, Nuur, Ye-Enô'ô, Bâ-Nôhô, Bah-Nôhô, Bâ-Nuar, Be-Nuar, Banuur, Meynôkô, Bâ-Nôkô, Bë-Nôk etc.these are just a few names, ethnonyms, toponyms, autonames that are used to designate the peoples of the great Enoah lineage (Enadi) of the Yeshaaq or Maquta component of Cameroon and its sub-sectionregion than in the entire Ye-Itiyōpya empire. Then who are the Enoah or Enadi? the Amhara branch founders of the present city of Mvengue in the Ocean division or Woreda of Ocean, in south of Cameroon.

Before answering this question we would like to remind all our readers and subscribers of our pages and our website that we are here in the component Yeshaaq or Maquta or Qura'Naan Kora'naan (anglicized Ishaq or Isaak) of the large Dir or Abuubacar people line of Somali and Ethiopia. In Cameroon the peoples of the Yeshaaq people dynasties meet in the great component call Bassa-Mpoo-Bäti or Fang-Bulu-Bäti ( Harla-Ghey-Su or Haranghe in Ethiopia and Somali) that is summarized by its three major dynasties of Odal or Adal peopl. But in Cameroon the former Adal people migrated together with Amhara princes and leaders to Cameroon from the Axmed Gragn war (1527-1543) until the end of the mesafint zemene period (1750-1850).

There were not only Amhara lineages as we see, but also all the rest of the people of metropolitan Ethiopia.

But it was princes and Amhara leaders who were in the lead

- Ngô'ô-Nghéy-Naanga (Gojjam-Damot-Adaal-begemeder-Shewa(Oromia)-Binishangul-Gumaz)

- Mbang ou Mba-Nghey-Naanga (Hadiya-Damot-Adal- Begemeder-Shewa (Oromia)-Binishangul-Gumuz-Gambela)

- Bäti-ba-Nghey-Naanga (Begemeder-Wollo-Tigray-Shewa-Afar-masawa-Adal-Wagshum).

Here it is the great Reer-Naanga component of the Waa-Ela-Ashama royal dynasty which is itself a component of the great imperial Ye-A'anda'Ziôn dynasty (Salomonid dynasty or House of Salomon). We are there in the great empire of Ye-Itiyōpya (empire of Ethiopia).

Then in the segmentation of the stages of the genealogy of the Yeshaaq dynasties it results that we have two lineages having the same surname of Enadi or Reer Nuur or Bah-Nôhô.So working on the different family trees of the Sheikh Ishaaq dynasties of Cameroon and its sub-region we have perfectly identified the genealogies of the founding fathers of its two branches Enoah or Bah-Nôhô of the Yeshaaq, one belongs to the sub-dynasty Ssô-Sheeg Ishaq II or Qôta II and the other belongs to the sub-dynasty Makaahil dynasty.

The Ssô-Sheeg Ishaq II and Makahil belongt to Saad Muuse or Bah-Saa alias " sanaag " (former Maahe Dir or Maase Abubakar sultanat). The branch Bah-Saa as "Sanaaga" is one of the two major lineages that form the sub-federation of the Habar-Awal.

The Habar-Awal sub-federation forms with two other sub-federations (Habar-Garxarjis and Habar-Habeshi) major lineages Yeshaaq federation or Dir or Abubakar people the great Adal-Amhara confederation.

I1.1- Book " Dulu Bôn be Afri Kara " :

The book " Dulu Bôn be Afri Kara " at chapiter XXVII page 40 gives us the beginning of the genealogy of Patriarch Kota the seventh and heir of the sons of the patriarch Mekômô-Bekôkô or here we find two of his descendants bearing the name of Eno'o, one is Eno'o Mevôngô and the second is Eno'o Mba Mängônda, or Eno'o Mba me Ngôndi

Énô'ô Mevôngô me Kôta is himself one of great parent of Énô'ô Mba the second Énô'ô.

Then Eno'o Mevungu is Nôhô Sso-Sheeg( Nuur Xuussen) of the official genealogy of the Yeshaaq dynasties that we find in the multiple annals, documents, registers, and books of archives of the great imperial museum of peeople of Ye-Itiyôpya in Addis-Abäba in Metropolitan Ye-Itiyôpya. Addis-Abäba the great fortress of Afäri-Qara as we know all.

The term "Mevôngô" in the dialect Atiisi (abtirsi) of language of Cameroon and its sub-region refers to the priesthood or the mastery of the priesthood in the purification of the people and whose ceremonies take place in water, it is the priesthood of Mimbe or Esiima or Jengü.

Énô'ô Mevôngô it's Nôhô Ssô-Sheeg (Reer-Nuur Jibril Ismaacil of Sso-Sheeg) because the term Ssô-Sheeg meeans priesthood which in reality covers all the countries of the Horn of Africa and which has the same meaning as Mevôngô which we have just given, is Bah-Nôhô ba Ssô-Sheeq of Bah-Saa ba Muusi (Saad Muuse).

- The second Nôhô of the Kota dynasty here, is Eno'o Mba Mängônda the founder of the Ye-Enô'ô be Mba Mängônda, the eldest brother of the following brothers;

- Émông Mba : Ye-Émông / Ndog-Môngô / Moongo

- Mängônô me Mba : Ésa-Mengôn / Bó'Mangônda

- Étuuk Mba : Ésa-Étuuk / Ya-Étuu :

- Mekômô me Étuuk : Ésa-Mekos

This second Nôhô (or Nuur) is the Enoah of the banks of the river Nyong because it is he who is known in the book "Dulu Bon be afri Kara" as the Nôhô or Énoah (Reer-Nuur of Makaahil and Ngümbuur).

In the segmentation of the lineage genealogy of the Ye-Ishaaq dynasties that we have from the archives of the Ye-Itiyôpya, the second Nôhô (Nuur) is actually posterior to the first Nôhô exactly as presented in the book " Dulu Bôn be Afri Kara " and it is part of the great lineage Makaahil the great lineage whose liturgical name is Reer-Roobleh or " Ye-Mendimi " and whose name is " Fañ Afäri " or " Fang Afäri " (modern leader was Dejazmatch Malkea Kresto)

Le book " Dulu Bòn be Afri Kara " allows us to identify the two Nôhô or two Reer-Nuur.

I1.2- Book " Les seigneurs de la fôrêt " de Laburthe-Tolra Philippe :

Dans le livre " les Seigneurs de la forêt " " Minlaaba.1. from page 128 in its subtitle: History of the Enoa, it is said that the Enoah are different from the Aywondo and the Bënë (Begameder) that the Enoah do not have the same origin as the two other mentioned components.

At first place this is 100% true because in terms of the patriarchal genealogy of the Enoah (Reer-Nuur of Makaahil and Ngumbuur), the Enoah are a Fang Afäri people (component of Dejazmatch Malkea Kresto or Gojjam kingdom) whose Makaahil as we have explained above.

The book continues by situating the Enoah genealogy (Reer-Nuur or Reer-Noo) from the patriarch Enoa Boo or Enoo Mba, which is perfectly in line with the Enoah or Ye-Enoo genealogy given to us by the book "Dulu bòn be afri Kara" to which we have seen above.

But later the book tells us that Patriarch Enoo Mba will take Lima the daughter of Patriarch Nzue Ango, founder of the Esa-Nzue or Lima-Zuang or Sa-Ziü, a branch of Ngûmbô'ô III (Ngumbuur III) that is one of the three people committees that form the sub-section Ngümbô'ô or Ngümbuu (Mbvümbô'ô), the great branch Mapfuer or Mekuk (Mafuud) that forms an undeniable alliance since 1508 with the peoples of the great lineage Makaahil or Reer-Roobleh or Ye-Mendimi or Fang Afäri etc.

The book goes on to explain the origin of the Enoah, explaining a little further than one of the descendants of Patriarch Enoa Mba, namely Ntege Mebola or Élômbô'a Mabola "Fôlông" the founder of the Élômbô and Ndziiba leneages of the Reer-Nuur Makaahil and Ngümbuur III (the most numerous of the Enoah) married a Menz-Gisha girl named Embolo ou Embodo Maanga. Mbôndô'a Maanga was the younger daughter of Patriarch Maanga, whose younger sister of the sisters :- Ndzié Maanga, the Queen mother of the wives of Amuugi Mewaali the Begameder notable,

- Omgba Maanga, the Queen mother of the wives Owônô Nghey A'anda (descendant of Baala Gadas of Walaqa in Wollo) of Aywondo.

By this marriage a part of the Enadi (or Enoah) are related to the Bonjo of begameder (of their real name Bônjô or Benjô or Benga (Begameder)) and the Aywondo, hence their belonging to the Kôlô-Bäti (Beta Israel Semiens Kingdom or Tsimi-Agäw).

Here the explanations of the book "The Lords of the Forest" join those of the ledger "Dulu Bôn be afri Kara" and the two are perfectly in agreement with the explanations and the list of Enoah (Enadi or Reer-Nuur of Makaahil and Ngumbuur) genealogies that we find in the archives of the metropolitan Ye-Itiyôpya in Addis-Abäba the great fortress AFÄRI QARA Emperors of the great empire of Ye-Itiyōpya (old Axum or Habeshi).

I1.1- Blog " Liten li Bassa "

In the great blog "Liten Li Basa" ( Saad Muuse) in the genealogy of lineages of the great administrative gathering consular said "Bassa" of Cameroon, we find at the summit of the genealogies of administrative consular grouping of German and French administrators on Cameroon (1884-1960) two characters bearing the name Noo, one is from Ngôck Nghey Naanga and the other is from Mbang or Mba Nghey Naanga.

Once more again we join perfectly the Enoah (Enadi) lineages of the first two books mentioned. Ngô'ô Nghey Naanga Here is the lineage Makaahil and Mbang Nghey Naanga (Adaal) is the sso-Sheeg (Xussen) lineage as we have explained above since the "Dulu Bôn be afri Kara " book.

The Enoah or Enadi of the banks of the river Nyong of Cameroon here in this genealogy belong to the Noo Ngock Nghey Naanga which is the" Fañ Afäri " (Malkea Kresto hause).
