The Weight of the Ndop Cloth (Part Two)
“The cloth I am wearing is called Kelanlang in our native language [Oku]. It is worn only by notables from the royal family. Any other person is not entitled to wear it. … If you are not a Nchinda, or a member of the highest traditional body that regulates the entire population [Kwifon], you are not allowed to have it on you. You will be fined if you violate this rule.” (Tantoh Ndula, Humans of Oku September 21, 2017)
