The Origin Of Agbor And The Obi Of Agbor by ThEGodFaThEr137: 11:18pm On May 05, 2022 |
Agbor is an Ancient Kingdom. It is originally called Ogwugwunagbor - it means "The Heart of the Fertile Earth" in Igbo. It can also mean a deep crevice or ravine. There are also shrines of Ogwugwu all over Igboland where the Igbo god of the Earth called Ali or Ani is worshipped. Other places referred to as Ogwugwu include Ogwugwunsugbe for Nsugbe at Anambra State. Some of the villages of Agbor are named after the Earth goddess eg Alishimi, Aliobume Alifekede etc Agbor is from Local history, thousands of years old and came into being at the same time as Bini Kingdom of the Ogiso Dynasty. The King of Agbor is a First Class Eze. He is referred to as Obi, the title of Kings in West Igbo territories. His fellow Obis include the Obi of Aboh, Obi of Ubulu - Ukwu, Obi of Issele-Ukwu, Obi of Owa to name a few. Like all Kings of Igbo land, the Obi of Agbor holds an OFO - EZE. Ofo is a Staff of office for Kings and the eldest Male of any Igbo community. It distinguishes the Igbo people from anyother people on Earth. The Obiship of Agbor like that of Oba of Benin is from father to first son. This leadership by primogeniture can be traced to Igboland were the OKPARA /OKPALA being the first son inherits his fathers OBI and leadership of the homestead. In parts of Ndokwa land and Ikaland the leadership by gerontocracy is evolved to mean OKPARA - UKWU where the eldest Male in the community is King. Primogeniture is when gerontocracy is limited to the Royal Lineage of the particular ruling King. In the West - Igbo area and beyond , the family of DEI (DEIN) is related to royalty. It is true of Ogwashi - Ukwu, Onitsha, Oguta, Agbor and others. The language of and culture of Agbor is Igbo and with garnishings of Bini as Agbor is in the fringes of Igbo land and shares boundary with Bini. . THE Agbor belong to the larger tribe called IKA of the Igbo Ethnic Group. The Obis of Agbor come from the Royal Village of AGBOR - OBI and specifically of the lineage of (Umudei) UMU - DEIN. "Umu " in Igbo means Children therefore Umudei means the Village of the Children of DEIN. In West Igbo areas and beyond Umudei are related to royalty. This is true of Ogwashi - Ukwu, Onitsha, Oguta, Agbor etc. The immediate past OBI of Agbor is Obi James Obika Ikechukwu, he is the father of the Present King and DEIN of Agbor Obi Benjamin Kiagborekwuzi Ikechukwu.

All this fake lies,na who do Igbos this thing.Keep rewriting history and trying to claim what doesn't belong to you. What you don't know is that sentiment is growing in the mind of Ika people,they beginning to see the evil agenda of the greedy Igbos towards them.Soon you will see the reaction. I say continue. I will visit Agbor again soon. I relate with people at home soon,so I know what is happening.Our people are becoming wiser and understanding the greedy nature of the Igbo man,who can go any length to claim what is not their's. 7 Likes 5 Shares |

QueenAgbo: Is because you have Igbo names, culture, tradition and also speak Igbo language. A non Igbo will not have Igbo name. We Yoruba see all of you as igbos. Is better to say you don't want your village/town to join your fellow main igbos, nobody is forcing you on that. That's the reason why referendum is needed for you people. Some delta igbos that have the mind to deny their tribe and betray their people. Do you think any Nigerians will trust them. 9 Likes |
