On September 10th, Old Westbury hosted royalty. Sultan Mouhammad-Nabil Mforifoum Mbombo Njoya, accompanied by his entourage, graced the Duane L. Jones Recital Hall in the Campus Center. The historic event was little more than an interview, conducted by professor Sylvie Kande, with a brief introduction about the importance of the Sultan’s recent ascent to the throne.
Njoya is king of the Bamum people, a group who have roots in west Cameroon. While one might think that his royal duties end at the Atlantic ocean, this couldn’t be further from the truth.
