In Ibo culture, the 1st son ascends the throne after the death of the father (king).

There is no throne to ascend,it is just like every other Igbo family where the first son is expected to take over the responsibilties of the father(including the throne) or better still inherit the lion share of the father's belongings.

"Igbo enweghi eze" this is a fact(proud Igbo son)

What happened to Jaja of Opobo and Nana of Itsekiri?

Nana of Itsekiri is not a monarch,he is only a war lord. We only have the OLU OF WARRI(GCON) he is a federal KING.

Nice list,but the amayanabo of nembe kingdom was omited from ur list + i think the olu of itshekiri is a more proper title for the olu of warri because warri is made up of many tribes like uhurobo,isoko,ijaw among many others. Hence the itsekiris cannot claim absolute monopoly over warri.

You can't change it OLU OF WARRI has come to stay, and you know he is a federal king.
