The Ndoki subgroup is at the South Easternmost part of Igbo land, straddling between Ukwa area of Abia State, Oyigbo LGA of Rivers State, and pockets of them in the Western limits of AkwaIbom State.

Some people in Ijoid groups like Okrika and Ibani are of Ndoki descent. The Igbo dialect spoken in Bonny and Opobo areas of Rivers State is that of the Ndoki.

The Imo river flows through Ndoki land on its way to Opobo.

Ohambele Ndoki was a notable slave depot in the past. Azumini was another market town, notable for oil palm trade at the dawn of legitimate trade.

The oil palm wealth of Ndọ̀ki, along with that of the Ngwá, Ibibio and Annang hinterlands 'had contributed to the wealth of the Opobo citystate, who along with other riverine citystates were the middlemen in the trade between the Europeans and the people of the hinterlands.

Some scholars argue that Jaja's resistance of the British was not out of the desire to stop imperialism but due to his desire to make more profit in the trade by controlling the oil palm markets in the hinterlands, as letting the British trade directly with the hinterland markets would bring decline to the citystate's economy..

A legend is told about one "ODUM EGEGE" who had stood up against the domination and oppresion of Ndoki by the King and people of Opubo-ama, who lived miles, downstream the Imo river.
The King ordered Abiriba and Aro smiths to sculpt and mummify "Odum Egege" alive ! according to the legend...

Ndoki, an Igbo subgroup is bordered by the Ngwa and Asa Igbo subgroups to the North and West respectively, the Annang to the East, and the Ogoni to the South.
Together with the Asa, they are known as "Ụ̀kwà"

They have historic and trade ties with the Bonny (Ubani) and Opobo peoples. Okoloma is a clan name in both Ndoki and Bonny. The name "Ubani" is common among the Ndoki as well.

Akwete, an Ndoki clan is an Igbo heritage site for traditional cloth weaving. The prized fabric produced by the women of the clan also goes by the name of the clan "Akwete", a source of ethnic pride to the Igbo.

However, the cloth weaving industry began declining gradually, with the introduction of foreign fabrics.

Nwọtam is an Igbo masquerade with its origin in Ndoki land.

Akwete, Azumini, Akirika-obu, Afam and Ohambele are notable Ndoki clans.

The Ndoki people are located South-South and South-Eastern Nigeria. In the South – South, the Ndoki people are found in Oyigbo Local Government Area of Rivers State. Besides their occupying parts of Rivers State, they have stretched out to another South – South State known as Akwa Ibom State. The Ndoki people who are located in Akwa Ibom State are found in Ukanafun Local Government Area specifically in a village called Ikot Inyang Udo (also known as
Oha Obu).
In summary therefore, the Ndoki people located in the South – South region of the country can be found in Oyigbo Local Government Area of Rivers State and Ukanafun Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State respectively, while their kit and kin in the South-Eastern region can be found in Abia State, occupying the Ukwa-East Local Government Area.

Take note that there is nothing like south south...it was concocted for the aim of divide and rule...The so called south south is the Eastern Region.

watch the beauty of Ndoki culture

How so?

Had a friend who will always want us to go to the stream to bath or wash. Won't see him again for about 3 or 4 days even if I look for him, he isn't always at home.

He'll show after about 4 days with either soap or bunch of clothes only to ask again that we go to the stream.

He never answered the question 'where have you been'. Till this day I never know where he actually lives.


Lived with my in-law when he was only a teacher. Now he is a multimillionaire. Yet everyone around him including his own brothers and sisters are struggling.

Each time time I visits he's kinda scared and doesn't come back home, last time I visited, he hurriedly entered his room and didn't come out till I left.

The Akwete cloths are colorful and woven just like the Yoruba aso-oke cloths.

Davido's paternal grandmother is from Akwete in Abia State. I got to know this in 2009 when she passed on. That was when I first knew that Senator Isiaka Adeleke's biological mother was from Abia State! My jaw nearly hit the floor.


She met her Yoruba husband (Senator Adeleke, later became a
Second Republic Senator) in Enugu where the whole family lived till they all relocated to Ibadan in late 1967 due to the expulsion of all non-Old Eastern Region families as a result of the impending 2 years and 6 months Nigerian Civil War.
