Maad Ndaah Njemeh is one of the most significant figures in Serer and Senegambian dynastic history.[3] He stems from the royal line of Lamane Jegan Joof, the 11th century founder and King of Tukar.
Ndaah Njemeh's three notable sons included Niokhori Ndaah Joof, Mangi Ndaah Joof, and Yungari Ndaah Joof. Niokhori Ndaah is the ancestor of the Joof royal family of Sine and Saloum; Mangi Ndaah the ancestor of the Joof notable family of Baol and the Faal royal family of Baol and Cayor which succeeded the Joof dynasty of Baol (Lingeer Sobel Joof, a descendant of Mangi, is the maternal grandmother of Damel Amari Ngoneh Faal, founder of the Faal dynasty); and Yungari Ndaah is the ancestor of the Joof noble family of Jolof. The former President of Senegal, President Abdou Diouf descended from this branch of the Joof family.
