Traditional Powers of Djottin Confer Ambassadorial Powers to Illustrious Son! Following the very successful Extraordinary Congress of the Djottin Area Development Association DADA that took place recently in Yaounde, the traditional Powers of Djottin-Noni have decided to confer ambassadorial powers to one of Djottin’s illustrious sons Dr Nfii Ndikintum Kangong.

As a result of this reality, the tribe has constantly suffered marginalisation and exclusion from the larger tribes and from Administrative Conspiracies thus excluding it from certain political benefits that under normal circumstances should have been theirs.
