By Davies Iheamnachor RUMUJI—BUILT over a century ago, it is the oldest storey-building standing at Mgbuomodu, Rumuji community, Emohua Local Government Area, Rivers State. It is also believed to be the oldest of its kind in Ikwerreland (Ikwerre one of the various ethnic group in the niger delta region, and also the most populated in rivers state.) Some people are of the view that it should be the oldest of such structures in the state. the135-yr-old Storey building in Ikwerreland They said it is older than every man in the whole town, including the oldest man in the town, Mr. Amadi, said to be 100 years old. The people of Rumuji have continually eulogized the effort of Chief Aite Igwe, who was said to have built the first upstairs in Ikwerre. They said he, Igwe, having worked with the first breed of Westerners that came to the area, was able to utilize his wealth to enrich the history of his people, which many of his kind could not. In the olden days, houses were built according to the social class a person belongs. But the Orho elu (storey building) built by the late Igwe added another dimension to the types of houses known then. It is the first of its kind.
