Yujin:
Great thread nwanna. Anambra its in a league of its own when compared to other states in Nigeria. Having travelled and lived in other regions both East, West and North I can confidently say what I've said. Adazi Nnukwu is representing wella.
Now, when some westerners erroneously assume that our saying that we want to visit our villages imply we want to go back to antiquity and abandoned lands, it is borne out of sheer ignorance. Many of them are only working with what holds sway in their own domain. This is what I mean. The settlement pattern between ndigbo and ndi-Yoruba is not the same. The settlement pattern among ndigbo is mainly of a villa kind with dispersed homes cascading in a well defined boundary. Just few of our communities had a compacted settlement that gives a sort of an urbane settlement. During my travels around Igboland, places I saw such closely knitted houses traditionally are in the Oratta(Owerri) area of Imo state and the Ika(Agbor)area of delta state. This is to say that compacted settlements among the majority of Ndigbo is a new thing. On coming to Yorubaland, the opposite is the case. Closely knitted houses which gave rise to an urban outlook was the norm. Most of their villages were isolated and thinly peopled and will always remain so because only few people hail from such places and with the recent rural-urban migration, they are the worst hit. Unlike in Igboland where villages are thickly populated and not in isolation but are tied to nearby patrilineally related villages to make up a community, those in Yorubaland are in isolation- each village to itself. As of today, a good number of those Igbo communities have taken the shape of townships with infrastructural improvements and social amenities in many of them. This is the reason why most Igbo people travel back home during the end of the year. Oh yes, some of them are still as primitive as of old but the houses therein are of the modern type. So when next you as an Igbo man tells your Yoruba friend that you are travelling to the village, understand why he thinks you are going back to obscurity.

apt especially the settlement pattern

Adazi families such as adazi enu,adazi ani,adazi nnukwu,Amichi,ichida.All these villages are blood brothers ichida which is the eldest among them settled in the present location the rest of the brothers move out and settle in different areas now look at how they multiple to different villages.I was amazed when I attended meeting they normally have once in every 2yrs the whole five villages gathered together celebrating their reunion each village coke special dishes for the event what a great history

This is coming at a time the leadership crisis in the town seems virtually impossible as aggrieved party had not only gone to the court to challenge the results of the election which produced the traditional ruler (Chief Prof Austin Obiekezie (Ugommuta Adazi-Nnukwu )), the traditional prime minister (Chief Kanu Ugwumba) and the President General of the town union ( Sir Francis Madubike) but had also used the police to harass and detained some townsmen as well as truncated the progress of several meetings of the town.


The town had in the last ten years remained without a traditional head after the death of the last Adama, Igwe Micheal Ojiako III; it however relied on the administrations of Chief Ben Enemmuo - led Adazi-Nnukwu Town Development Union and the Adama representative, Chief Pius Obiakonwa which according to the people does not serve enough for the needs of Adama Adazi.

Governor Willie Obiano thanked the people of the town for managing the situation which almost became a threat to peace and security of lives and properties. He described the Igwe elect as a wise choice for Ndi Adazi-Nnukwu and the process of selection of the new leaders as rigorous, fair and credible.




Presenting the Certificate of Office to the Igwe-elect, Chief Prof Austin Ikechukwu Obiekezie (Ugommuta Adazi-Nnukwu ) who is also the Deputy Vice Chancellor of University of Calabar, Governor Willie Obiano advised the new Igwe and his leadership team to forgive those who erred in the process of the struggle. He noted that Adazi-Nnukwu is one of the most stable communities in the state, in terms of peace, development, religion and tradition.








Earlier in the event, the Chairman, Traditional Rulers Council of Anambra State Igwe C. Achebe, the Obi of Onitsha addressed the new Igwe on the programs of the council.

Igwe Professor Eze Dunu commended the people of Adazi-Nnukwu for the choice of Professor Austin Obiekezie for the position of Adama Adazi assuring them that their choices were right and would not fail them.




Igwe Peter Anukwu, (Igwe Amosu ) of Mbaukwu admonished the new Igwe to emulate the legacies of his predecessors who he described as great men whose influence once spread across various towns within the area.

The crowd of Chiefs, women leaders and youths rejoiced home to crown their king. The Igwe was received with 21 gun salute, various cultural groups /dance, the fierce Omekagu masquerade, age grades, clergymen etc.




After the coronation of the igwe, the Igwe exercised his first traditional right by crowning the Onowu (Odu Adazi), Chief Kanu Ugwumba. The hope of the town for a peaceful and progressive Adazi-Nnukwu were regained as many youths, women and men were seen within various points jubilation; thanking God that the tension which had bedeviled the community were finally over.
The event also had lots of the prominent sons and daughters of Adazi-Nnukwu returned from various parts of the world to be witnesses of the historic event.

Some notable top government functionaries and men of note present in the event include Chief Dr Victor Umeh, FNIVS, KSJI, OFR ( Ohamadike Ndigbo ) who played an important role in making the event a success; The Speaker Anambra State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Rita Maduagwu; the SSG, Prof Solo Chukwulobelu; Commissioner for Local Government, Chieftaincy & Community Affairs, Chief Greg Obi; the Commissioner for Youth Entrepreneurship and Sports Development, Dr Barr (Mrs ) Uju Nwogu; SA political to the governor, Hon Chinedu Obidigwe; SA to the governor on Inter-party affairs, Chief Ben Obi; Prof Kenn.
