Igbo History

Proximity and Consanguinity with Communities in the Neighbourhood
The Ikwerre cultural area maintain similar borders with the Ohaji/Egbema of Imo State to the northeast, the Ogba to the northwest, the Ekpeye and Abua to the west, the Ijoid groups of Degema, the Kalabari and Okrika to the south, the Eleme and Obigbo to the southeast and the Etche to the east. The Ikwerre tribe is made up of four main groups, namely the Elele group (Ishimbam), the Igwuruta-Aluu (Ishiali) group, the Rumuji-Emohua-Ogbakiri (REO) or Risimini group, and the OPA group (Obio/Port Harcourt/Akpor).

The Ishimbam or Elele clan occupies the northern part of Ikwerre land, within the Ikwerre and Emohua Local Government Areas. Most of these communities believe in one ancestor called[b] "Ochichi"[/b] whose descendants founded most of the clans. Elele is believed to have been founded by "Ele", Ochichi's first son. This is why
Elele is called Okanialiamong the Ishimbam clans. The Ishimbam clans include: Elele, Akpabu, Elele-Alimini, Egbeda, Omerelu, Apani, Ubimini and Omudioga. The Ishiali or Esila group inhabits the remaining parts of Ikwerre Local Government Area. Clans here include: Isiokpo, Ipo, Igwuruta-Ali, Aluu, Omuanwa, Omademe, Omagwa, Ozuoha and Ubima.

The OPA (Obio-Port Harcourt-Akpor) is a broad cluster that occupies the entire Obio/Akpor and Port Harcourt Local Government Areas. It is subdivided into the Obio and the Akpor groups.
Obio: The Obio group is divided into three:
Evo,
Apara and
R(nnebisi) (Port Harcourt).
Obio is regarded as the common ancestor of the Evo and Apara communities; Evo is the senior while Apara is younger.
Evo: This is subdivided into three: Oro–Evo: R (umuodomanya),R(umurorlu), Oginigba, R(umuobiakani),R (umuobochi), Nwoji(Woji), R(umuibekwe), R(umuogba)
Oro – Esara: Okporo umukwurisi (Rumukwurushi) R (umuodara), Iriebe, R(umuokoro),Oroigwe, Atali.

Apara: Apara, the second son of Obio, had nine children:
Eneka, Nkpoku, Ekinigbo, Okwuta, Adaolu (a female), Epirikom, Ola, Orosi, and R(Nnebisi). These descendants founded the principles that governed the formation of Apara communities such as Eneka, R(ukpokwu), R(umuigbo), R (umuokwuta) R(umuadaolu), R(umuepirikom), R(umuola), and R(umuorosi) respectively.
R(umueme) was established in the Apara territory, after Ozuruoha, one of Eprikom's descendants had invited his in-laws from Isiokpo to help him wage a war against his
kinsman. R(umueme) is said to be where these warriors from Isiokpo had resided permanently. R(umuomoi) also joined the Apara later.

R(Nnebisi): This is an offshoot of the Apara clan. R(Nnebisi) had fled Apara during a conflict with his brothers. R(Nnebisi) had seven children: Ochiri, Adasobia, Olozu, Worukwo, Ezimgbu, Ogbum and Abali. The descendants founded places like Oromerezimgbu, and Ogbumnuabali (a merger of Orogbum and Oroabali), respectively. Internal migrations led to the establishment of other communities from the original seven, such as Elekahia. Others are Nkpogu, Nkpolu Oroworukwo, Nkpolu.Orogbum, R(umuwoji), R(umukalagbo), Oroije, R (umuibekwe)and Orominieke.

Akpor: Akpor is located east of the REO group, south of the Ishiali group and west of Obio. The clan hast ten communities:
Ozuoba, Choba(Isoba), Ogbogoro, R(umuosi), R(umuolumeni), Rumuokparali, Rumualaogu, Rumuokwachi, R(umuekini) and Alakahia.

Generally, it is apparent that the Ikwerre exist in well-delineated clans, with each clan having its own paramount king. The Ikwerre do not have an overall paramount ruler or king, but designated kings, rulers or leaders mostly approved by their constituents. However, all paramount rulers in Ikwerre are united in what is known as Ogbakor Ikwerre, which was formed in 1963 as an umbrella socio-cultural organization of the Ikwerre people.

It is good that the Ikwerres have finally traced their lineage to Bini.

History is good.... Man know thyself!

LLiKYekoba:

You didnt mention Potoma, the father of RumOmasi and Elelenwo. Secondly, Evo has 3 sons namely, Woji, Rumurorlu and Rumuibekwe. Thirdly, no community bears Okporo.
