Mboj was a member of the reigning paternal dynasty of Waalo on his father's side. On his maternal line, he was a part of the Loggar matriclan. The Loggars (of Moorish/Maure origin) were one of the three reigning maternal dynasties of Waalo, the other two being JoosMany variations, including : Dyoos, see Barry and Lingeer Ndoye Demba (of Serer origin via Lingeer Ndoye Demba, founded in the 14th century) and TedyekMany variations, including : Teedyekk, see Barry (of Fula origin). During Mbodj's rein, Waalo was relatively weak, caught between the Trarza Emirate and the French based in Saint-Louis. Lingeer Ndaté Yalla Mbodj was a major power in the kingdom as well. In 1855 the French, after years of encroaching on the country, invaded and conquered Waalo, overthrowing the royal family.
