Origin Of Igbos: Read The Debate Between Two First Class Igbo Monarchs by Igboworldforum: 6:57am On Feb 01, 2016
THERE is a debate over the origin of Igbo. Two Anambra communities – Nri in Anaocha local government area and Aguleri in Anambra East local government area  claim the Igbo originated from their areas.

It was Eze Obidiegwu Onyesoh, the traditional ruler of Nri, who started the argument when he said his community is the origin of Igbo. Shortly after, Aguleri debunked it, saying Onyeso ought to know the truth because he had to visit Aguleri before his coronation in 1988 to receive blessing as Igbo custom demanded of him. According to Aguleri people, Aguleri is the first son of Eri who migrated from Egypt.

Igbo-menBut Onyesoh would not accept that as he insisted that his community is the first home of the Igbo before they migrated to other areas and even beyond the shores of eastern Nigeria.

Even if Namaa is believed to be the first Ogoni settlement, a king of Namaa may still be required by tradition to visit Agu-lore, another clan for blessings because or other reasons.
Just thinking out loud with the above abstraction.
