Afenmai or Afemai is an ethnic language of the group of people living in the northern part of Edo State south geopolitical zone of Nigeria. Afenmai or Afemai people occupy six local government areas of Edo state: Etsakor-East, with headquarters in Agenebode, Etsako central and West, and Owan east & West including Akoko-Edo. These make up the Edo-North Senatorial District.[citation needed] Afemai is an ethnic group is subdivided into different dialects, but people of this ethnicity generally speak and understand each other.[citation needed] [edit] History Afemai is made of several kingdoms and clans (large villages/townships ruled traditionally by monarchs) and many of them seem to have their own oral versions of the origin of Afemai as well as its own starting point in history. Historical accounts claimed that they migrated from Benin, during the tyrannical rule of Oba Ewuare, who was the greatest warrior legend and the most outstanding king in the history of Benin Empire.[citation needed] “The title Ewuare (Oworuare), meaning it is cool or the trouble has ceased” and as a result the war is over.[citation needed] The title symbolizes an epoch of reconciliation, reconstruction and the return of peace among the warring factions in Benin between 1435-1440 AD. It was shortly after this critical period of war that Akalaka and his two sons Ekpeye and Ogba migrated further southeast to first settle at Ula-Ubie, and subsequently other groups moved out of Benin City and migrated northward.[citation needed] However, has recently become clear that there were people living in Afemailand, prior to the migration from Benin City. Some of the most celebrated sons/daughters of Afemailand, both in the past and present, are the late Pa Michael Imoudu from Sabogida-Ora, who was a foremost labour leader and founder of the Nigeria state, the late Chief Julius Momo Udochi from Fugar the first Nigerian Ambassador to the United States and first Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice to the then Mid-Western state, the late Gen. George Agbazika Innih from Agenebode, who was one time the Military Governor of Bendel and Kwara States, Adams Oshiomhole, the past president of the [[Nigeria Labour Congress] and now Executive Gorvenor of Edo State], Pa Johnson Jimoh Iyere, Raymond Aleogho Dokpesi,(chairman/ceo Africa Independent Television), film director Bankole Bello, Chief Inu Umoru, chairman/CEO, Setraco Ltd, Vice Admiral Mike Akhigbe who attained the position of de facto vice-president in the regime of Gen. Abdulsalam Abubakar|Gen. Abdulsalam Abubakar.[citation needed] [edit] Governance The Afemais do not have a central traditional ruler, but some of the prominent traditional institutions and rulers in Afemai land are the Okumagbe of Weppa Wanno (Agenebode), Ogieneni of Uzairue (Jattu), Otaru of Auchi, Oba of Agbede, Otaru of Igarra, Oliola of Anegbette, etc. Afemai have produced many illustrious personalities in both national and international levels.[citation needed] Tourist attractions, which span the expanse of Afemai, are exemplified by the Ise Lake in Agenebode (Weppa Wanno clan) Etsakor East and the Somorika hills in Akoko Edo.[citation needed] Somorika hills consist of an extended expanse of hills crowned by massive boulders perched precariously on the summits of hills and alongside seemingly inadequate locations on the sides. Some of the most important towns/clans in Afemai land are Agenebode(Weppa-Wanno), Weppa, Emokweme, Auchi, Afuze, Iviukwe, Agbede, sabongidda-Ora, Igarra, Ekperi, Jattu, Fugar, Aviele, Okpella, Iviukhua, Ososo, Uzanu, Uzebba, Iviukhua, Weppa, Okpella, Somorika etc.[citation needed] The autonomous clans/kingdoms in Afemai land are currently administratively arranged as follows under the current six local government areas: Etsako East LGA, Agenebode: Agenebode, Emokweme, Ekwothor,Iviukhua, Okpella, Okpekpe, Iviukhua, Ibie, Weppa, Uzanu Etsako Central LGA, Fugar: Fugar, Ekperi, Ogbona, Anegbette, Udochi Estako West LGA, Auchi: Auchi, Agbede,Jattu, Afashio, Aviele Owan East LGA, Afuze Afuze, Ihevbe Owan West LGA, Sabogidda Ora: Sabongidda Ora,Luleha Clan Akoko Edo LGA, Igarra Igarra, Ososo, Somorika, |

Re: Estako Names And Meanings by oyinda3(f): 6:19am On Jul 30, 2010 |
^ what does Aina mean in Estako? |
Re: Estako Names And Meanings by Outstrip(f): 6:52am On Jul 30, 2010 |
Ainakhuagbo (sp) You don't chase after the world is what it means. Just asked my husband and that's what he said. Never even knew that the full name was that KONK. Geez. I am sure my poor nephew did not learn how to spell that until high school. |
Re: Estako Names And Meanings by oyinda3(f): 9:29am On Jul 30, 2010 |
that's funny because Aina is also a yoruba name. I was wondering if it's just coincidence or they have similar origins. I think it's a beautiful name nonetheless. |
Re: Estako Names And Meanings by sjeezy8: 7:38pm On Jul 30, 2010 |
Aina is one of the prettiest names - I love hearing it- |
