All Konkomba settlements are led by a traditional chief called Ubor.  In Bikpakpaam dominant areas, the people have instituted or established their own chieftains who serve as overlords of the settlements.  For instance, the Saboba area has the Uchabob-bor as the overlord.  Bikpakpaam strongly believe in solidarity, determination and hard-work.  Until the turn of the 21st century, their primary occupation was farming and animal husbandry.  In occupational terms, Bikpakpaam are mainly subsistence farmers and rearers of animals such as poultry, small ruminants and cattle.  This, probably, explains their scattered settlement across the West African sub-region.  Indeed, Maasole intimates that Bikpakpaam have always been on the move, in search for fertile farmlands.  Most Konkombas are actively in education today and a recent research projects that Konkombas will become a dominant force in politics, health, education and the civil society by 2025.
