Nyanchoo culture is examined in relation to five Mandinka political and social principles, which include Telingho (justice or being just), Forooya (possessing an exemplary character), Mooya (endowed with social intelligence), Hakiliyerewa (consciousness, the source of wisdom and critical thinking) and Sobeya (values for hard work and seriousness). It was these values that shaped Mandinka cultural and political philosophies and contributed to making them notable state-builders in West Africa.
