Historically, Fang is one of the main tribes in central Africa who inhabit Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon and Gabon. They are originated from Nigeria, during the Bantu expansion. The Fang are reported to have moved from the northeast centuries ago and settled in the region to farm. Because they are a warrior like people they conquered the native inhabitants. Many ethnic groups still fear the Fang because of their powerful aggressive tendencies. They are also known for their older practice of cannibalism, which they practiced unashamedly during the 17th century. The Fangs believe in the existence of mighty and eternal god, called Mebe’e. In addition, the Fang people practice polygamy, and each wife lives in an independent hut with hers sons under the strict rule of the husband, his male relatives, the members of his clan and her mother in law.
