I am not from Umudim; those are friends to my family like I said.
My lineage (Ezeagha) handed power to the Igwe's lineage(Ezeoguine) in Otolo Nnewi.
Nnewi is very unique in Igboland because we have a sophisticated and elaborate HOME GROWN monarchy,with direct successions, uncontested and undisputed with smooth transitions. Nnewi is like Britain (four "nations" in one, each with an Obi).
Igwe Nnewi is the Obi of Otolo.

What I was taught was that it started in Umudim and that the Obi defiled that land and it was handed to Otolo. As you said it was a smooth transition because Umudim people did not want our Obi to continue with the Ofo and the next in line was Orizu. Some families such as Nwosu Orizu a cousin to Igwe and Barrister B C Musa tried to force themselves to the throne, but they failed.

The truth is that Umudim still holds the "ofo", but not the Igweship. Whenever the Igwe performs the ofala, that ofo bearing clan in Umudim must be present (just like other "aka n'ano though), but it gets really complicated. Nnewi town did not ALL come from one man. A good chunk of Uruagu for instance came from Oba, led by one warrior amiably titled "ofulu ogu ju nni" (he who saw a war and preferred it to food grin ) Imagine such a man!grin
Otolo is the "di okpala" Nnewi(first born) and others agree on that, hence the Igweship; but even inside Otolo, there was a leader by the name of Ezeagha (my direct ancestor) who basically subdued everybody else and started ruling. He fought many wars hence his name "Eze a agha" literally meaning -this king of wars! lol
He had many sons, but when he wanted to die, he discovered that none of his sons were qualified to succeed him. They weren't warlike enough for him. So, he picked his nephew -who always accompanied him to wars- to succeed him. That nephew's name is Ezeoguine (the current Igwe's ancestor). My ancestor (Ezeagha)'s palace is directly to the left of the Igwe's current palace. If you stand at the Igwe's gate and look leftwards a little inwards (about 150 meters), there is a HUGE compound there with many "alusi" figurines. That is Eze a agha's palace.
As for Nwafor Orizu, he never tried to usurp the throne, it was Nwosu "dike ana agbalu izu" that almost did, but Ofo Nnewi is too powerful for such things. The story as to why he thought to do so is too long for me to narrate here, but suffice it to say that Ezeugbonyamba (current Igwe's grand father) was a boy when the white man showed up in Nnewi for the first time. His uncle (Nwosu's father) stood in for him to "receive the white man", and afterwards thought he could continue after tasting power, but Nnewi is too tough for that. He recanted later and the boy king(Ezeugbonyamba) was installed.
That Ezeugbonyamba was the Igwe Orizu I.

You both got your Nnewi history wrong!
For starters,Uru (Umudim) was never Igwe Nnewi as he was Nnewi's third son after Digbo (Otolo n Eze Kwuabo's father) n Edoji,the second son.The Ofor passed on to him cos even in his father's lifetime he showed aptitude for priesthood n judgeship.Otolo,on his part was Nnewi's grandson not his son.
Coming to Eze Afuogu ju nni,he was grandson or great grandson to Ezeana Isu ,Nnewi's brother n technically the first Obi of what is known as Uruagu Nnewi today.His sons n their family had to go on exile cos of murder n the vacuum created was what Eze Afuogu,his daughter's son by an Oba man filled.So,we are related by blood,Otolo n Uruagu.Don't forget,the descendants of Edoji,Nnewi's second son are part of Uruagu today.
Just clearing that up,didn't mean to derail the thread.
Btw @Onlytruth,Ezeagha was never an Igwe Nnewi.He was prince n warrior of repute,BROTHER to Igwe Ezeoguine (not his uncle).He was one of the few in Nnewi's history to be conferred with Dike Onuo Orah for his battle prowess n victories.

@First bolded, I never said that Umudim ever produced an Igwe, please read again. I mentioned the OFO, nothing more.

@Second bolded, I never said that ALL of Uruagu are not related to other Nnewi clans. That is why I said SOME. So you are right, but then I never said otherwise.

@Third bolded, you are gravely wrong. LOL. Ezeagha was the FIRST man to rule the whole of Nnewi, and he did it by basically fighting and subduing everyone. Go and ask any knowledgeable Otolo man. Yes he was a warrior, and there was NO overall Igwe of Nnewi before him. He was the FIRST. Ezeoguine was his young nephew who lived with him, and shared his philosophy of warfare and even hired mercenaries sometimes (from Abam, Ohafia, and Aro) to aid Ezeagha in battles. That is why Nnewi has some Aro settlers till today. I hope you know about how Ezeagha dealt with "Ezeokpo" of Ezekwuabo and his "eke mmiri". lol

BTW why is there an Ezeagha palace at its current location(a HUGE palace next to the current Igwe's palace)? Haven't you ever asked? If you stand in front of Ezeagha palace, you can see STRAIGHT all the way to Eke Ochie (near Nwosu's compound and even up to current location of Nnofor hall. There as an old road that goes right through the cow market at "ama Obi" near "Okwu udude", straight to "Eke Ochie". That was Ezeagha's road. Up till today, some sons of Ezeagha sometimes feel like taking back what they consider theirs, but Nnewi people are wise men of the East, so we chill for peace sakes. lol. grin cool

Dude,I gave u straight up Nnewi history not conjectures or suppositions.
Btw,why do u think they always append "of Nnofo Royal lineage" to the Igwe?.Ever heard of the Enem lineage?.Not to detract,Ezeagha was never an Igwe,not to talk of being the first.My great-grandmother was a descendent,though i am descended from Eze Em n Eze Nwanagum,2nd n 3rd Obis of Uruagu myself,so I know what I talk of.Get back home n enquire of ur elders starting with ur obi umunna right up to the palace.
Also,no Igwe has ever RULED over Nnewi (ur word n intendment).They reigned.Real power lies with the Nzuko Ora n the priesthood,especially Edo-Ezemewi priests.

Nwanne, you confuse yourself, with "rule" and "reign". They remain the same in contemporary English.
I don't want us to wash Nnewi loins here with "Uruagu" issue, which I think is your angst, and the main issue behind your ignorance of bigger Nnewi (especially Otolo) issues. There was a time Uruagu almost left the "Union" to become autonomous town, but sanity prevailed later. So, I end this "argument" here and now for the sake of Nnewi.

you did not derail the thread very interesting. I will read this to Igwe and see if he can clear it up. It is important that we have a clear understanding of our history. We must teach it to our children and it must be written down for clarification. White people did it look how the Jews have everyone reding about the lineage in church. This is very good!

Then u should be able to find that he is the 17th Obi of Otolo n Igwe Nnewi of the Nnofo lineage,not 17th Obi a la the op.The Enem lineage came before Nnofo.Nnofo actually usurped the throne from his young nephew for whom he acted as regent for a while.Part reason why Nnewi rose against Nwosu Eze Odumegwu when he wanted to try same circa 1904.
Referring the Igwe as the 17th overall reduces the Nnewi monarchy to a recent one,it is quite older than that.

My friend I don't have time for kids in the internet. The first thing you tried to do was try to make yourself more relevant by citing your mother's lineage to the Obi Uruagu. My own mother is Ezeoguine direct but that is irrelevant.
You then went ahead to claim that Ezeagha never ruled Nnewi. At that point I concluded you are not worth my time.
I hope you have not been deceived by the Okonkwo Alutu (Uruagu man) version of Nnewi history because it is as "accurate" as the imagination of the author. When an Otolo man writes his own version of Nnewi history, please endeavor to get a copy and be schooled in our REAL history.
I told you that the root of your ignorance is the "Uruagu issue" and I will only take your antagonistic/protagonist style the day Uruagu leaves the Nnewi union to become an autonomous town.

Did not the Edo -Ezemewi die and they now have a market in its place, where the market is now. I heard that no one was strong enough to take his place. And is this not in Umudim.

All intelligent Nnewi girls respect people they don't know. She didn't.

The funny thing is that BOTH Ezeagha and Ezeoguine are of Nnofo royal lineage by the fact that Udude Ezeagha's DIRECT father was Nnofo's son.

I have asked u to post what proof u think u have to back ur wrongful assertions n all u do is rant.I'm done with u.
Btw,Okonkwo Atulu's Nnewi history is still the only officially endorsed written history of Nnewi by all four quarters that make up Nnewi,Otolo inclusive.If u know any other,bring it up.I didn't even refer to any part of it,but to well established oral history I've picked up over the years.
Again,it seems u have comprehension problem,I wrote that my great-grandmother descended from Ezeagha,not my mother.I am descended directly from Eze Afuogu,Eze Em n Eze Nwanagum,1st,2nd n 3rd Obis of Uruagu,of both sides of my parentage.I proudly proclaim that,but that has nothing to do with ur so-called "Uruagu issue" (whatever that means) that lives in ur fevered imagination.
Again,if u have historical proofs contrary to what I laid out,bring them forth n in a coherent manner.Till then,am done with u.

Did not the Edo -Ezemewi die and they now have a market in its place, where the market is now. I heard that no one was strong enough to take his place. And is this not in Umudim. They said he was the oldest man at that time in the 80 s when I was a small girl. We use to give him kola nut when passing.
Ezemewi was the primary/founding deity of Nnewi,but for love yielded up his place to his second wife,Edo.He had a first wife,Ogwugwu Eze-Kwuabo,who reigned then with him as supreme gods before he got Edo.
Then Nnewi people clothe their gods with same foibles as we mortals.Twas even said that Edo n Ezemewi had a daughter together who later died n was also deified.
The two gods are linked together as Edo-Ezemewi cos it is said that so great was their love that one couldn't be without the other.

I did not serve with any Nnewi man during youth service. You must have me mistaken for another person.
This is internet, so I cannot be sure whether I am older or the other way round. Actually it is irrelevant to the discourse.
You were wrong about KEY FACTS of Nnewi history and genealogy, and I will not allow you to get away with it. grin cool

I have asked u to post what proof u think u have to back ur wrongful assertions n all u do is rant.I'm done with u.
Btw,Okonkwo Atulu's Nnewi history is still the only officially endorsed written history of Nnewi by all four quarters that make up Nnewi,Otolo inclusive.If u know any other,bring it up.I didn't even refer to any part of it,but to well established oral history I've picked up over the years.
Again,it seems u have comprehension problem,I wrote that my great-grandmother descended from Ezeagha,not my mother.I am descended directly from Eze Afuogu,Eze Em n Eze Nwanagum,1st,2nd n 3rd Obis of Uruagu,of both sides of my parentage.I proudly proclaim that,but that has nothing to do with ur so-called "Uruagu issue" (whatever that means) that lives in ur fevered imagination.
Again,if u have historical proofs contrary to what I laid out,bring them forth n in a coherent manner.Till then,am done with u.

@First bolded: I know Ezeagha like the back of my hand. Care to tell me which specific clan your great grand mother descended from?

@Second bolded: Like I said before, I really do not want to get into certain things because Nnewi unity is more important to me than scoring cheap points on the internet.

I have TWO questions for you.

Did you say that Ezeoguine was Ezeagha's BROTHER?
Why/How did Nnofo (the second son of Otolo) take over from Enem (the first son of Otolo)?

I will not allow you to get away with this disinformation.
