Nevertheless we cannot stop<br \/>\ncommending the effort of Agukwu to preserve the glories and artifacts of<br \/>\nNri.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In doing this, they should not forget to accord respect to the first<br \/>\nson of Nri who is Okpalanakana-Ukabia Nri. Quick realization of this and<br \/>\ncooperation would help Nri Kingdom to restore its place in history.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Together we shall move mountains, but in rancour, disintegration and<br \/>\nincoherent achievement is the consequence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Also contributing, the Traditional Culture Minister of Enugwu-Ukwu,<br \/>\nChief Jude Ekwunife said that Enugwu-Ukwu is the first son among the<br \/>\nnuclear children of Nri and Nri was one of the sons of Eri.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221; Nri who migrated from Aguleri spent most of his active life at a spot<br \/>\nknown as Nkpume-Onyilienyi in Ugwu Awovu area of Isionye quarter of<br \/>\nEnugwu-Ukwu.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221; It was while sojourning at Nkpume-Onyilienyi that Nri begat<br \/>\nOkpalanakana, the revered father of Enugwu-Ukwu.&#8221; Ekwunife posited.<\/p>\n<p>Nri\u00a0 is the oldest kingdom in Nigeria as it existed since 900 AD and the<br \/>\nnext is Kanem Bornu empire that also existed in the mid 900 AD.<\/p>\n<p>It was anthropologically researched and universally acknowledged that<br \/>\nancient Nri kingdom has been the ancestral home of Ndigbo and custodian<br \/>\nof Igbo culture and traditional values.<\/p>\n<p>It is said that history owes its excellence more to the writer&#8217;s manner<br \/>\nof which it is composed; therefore, the indigenes of Nri kingdom believe<br \/>\nthat the royal father couched the statement with elements of doubt, thus<br \/>\nskewed the historical narrative.<\/p>\n<p>In reaction, Prince Engr. Charles Tabansi, the former President General<br \/>\nof Nri kingdom and great grandson of the former Nri king, EzeNri Tabansi<br \/>\nUdene Nrijiofor, frowned at the word &#8216;usurpation&#8217; used, stating\u00a0 that,<br \/>\n&#8220;It is obvious from the many utterances of prominent men of Enugu-ukwu<br \/>\nand now the big masquerade himself, the Igwe of Enugu-Ukwu, that our<br \/>\nEnugu-Ukwu brothers have lost sense of their history and ours too.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The following write-up is intended to educate them on the History of<br \/>\nEnugu-Ukwu and Nri and the filial relationship between the two. One<br \/>\nhopes that this will help them know and appreciate who they are, so that<br \/>\ntogether we move forward as aptly stated by the Igwe.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Narrating the history, Tabansi said that the children of Eri are made<br \/>\nup of Agulu, Ogbodudu, Onogu, Iguedo (female), Onuoja and Menri.<\/p>\n<p>Eri was a very spiritual and a mystic man with great charisma. His son<br \/>\nMenri inherited his spiritual powers and mysticism but decided to<br \/>\ndistance himself from such practices even taking over his father&#8217;s<br \/>\npowers, he then started wandering about under the influence of the<br \/>\nsupernatural.<\/p>\n<p>His first port of call during his wandering life was Amanuke, then to<br \/>\nUgbenu and later to Ugwu Iru Okpu or Mkpume Onyilenyi at Enugu-Ukwu.<\/p>\n<p>He settled in the area at a place now called Osili village in Enugu-Ukwu<br \/>\nand by then\u00a0 had four children; the progenitor of Enugu-Ukwu called<br \/>\nOkpalanakana (also called Kanu Ukabia); the progenitor of Isu-na-Agidi<br \/>\n(presently known as\u00a0 Enugu-Agidi), the Umenekanu, progenitor of Nawfia<br \/>\ncalled Ariam; and the progenitor of Oruora that became extinct.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At this time, Menri was under the inspiration of the spirits and was<br \/>\nbehaving abnormally. Because of Menri&#8217;s delay in taking on the powers of<br \/>\nhis father, Eri, and taking the title of Nri (the highest title that<br \/>\ncould be taken in Nri sphere of influence), as sanctioned by Chukwu and<br \/>\nthe ancestors, tragedy struck him and he started losing his children<br \/>\nmysteriously.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;First to die was Okpalanakana, Ariam and then Umenekanu. Menri was<br \/>\nstill under a spiritual torment, and he then abandoned the Osili sojourn<br \/>\nand migrated down into the Valley of Agulu Lake where he founded a new<br \/>\nsettlement called Agukwu (being the name the area was called because of<br \/>\nits thick forest nature).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At Agukwu, he finally took the title of Nri and became Eze Nri<br \/>\nIfikwuanim, the first Eze Nri of Agukwu. Normally when one takes the<br \/>\ntitle of Nri, one takes a new name after his symbolic &#8216;death&#8217; funeral<br \/>\nrites and &#8216;resurrection&#8217; which occurs during the coronation. &#8220;Tabansi<br \/>\nstated.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing, during this symbolic death, his wives mourn him as being<br \/>\nreally dead and after his resurrection; he takes a new name and marries<br \/>\nnew wives. This is what was said that happened to Menri.<\/p>\n<p>After his symbolic resurrection, he took the name of Nri Ifikwuanim and<br \/>\nmarried two new wives who gave birth to Onyiora (progenitor of<br \/>\nAgbadana); Alike (progenitor of Uruoji), Ogboo (progenitor of Obeagu)<br \/>\nand Odili (who died early and his brother from the same mother, Onyiora,<br \/>\ntook custody of some of his children (Uruanata kindred of Agbadana).<\/p>\n<p>While his wife who hailed from Orji village in Enugu-Ukwu went back to<br \/>\nher people with some of the very young Odili&#8217;s children who grew into<br \/>\nUrunebo of Enugu-Ukwu).<\/p>\n<p>Actually, the Urunebo descendants have strong tie of consanguinity with<br \/>\nAgukwu Nri and were the ones\u00a0 doing all the traditional and spiritual<br \/>\njobs in Enugu-Ukwu in the absence of Nri people who are exclusively<br \/>\nresponsible to perform such rituals like spiritual cleansing (Ikpu Alu)<br \/>\nand\u00a0 Igbaye atali (granting Nze titleship).<\/p>\n<p>Nri Ifikwuanim equally built marriage ties with the aborigines he met.<br \/>\nIn the South he met Akamkpisi people led by one Ezikanebo whom he gave<br \/>\nhis daughter in marriage.<\/p>\n<p>In the North side of Nri kingdom where the Diodo people, his cousins who<br \/>\nare also descendants of\u00a0 Eri were led by a man who had also taken the<br \/>\nNri title and called Nri Namoke na Ogbodudu.<\/p>\n<p>Nri Ifikwuanim further took Namoke&#8217;s daughter in marriage for his third<br \/>\nson, Ogboo, which formed the basis for the unity that prevailed among<br \/>\nthe three sections into one town,Nri.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, Tabansi contended that, &#8220;from the above history, it is<br \/>\nobvious that Enugu-Ukwu cannot claim to be Nri because their progenitor,<br \/>\nOkpalanakana was born before Menri became Nri.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With his symbolic death, the old person had gone and with his symbolic<br \/>\nresurrection, a new person (half spirit, half man) was born.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So, even though in reality, Enugu-Ukwu is Agukwu Nri&#8217;s senior brother<br \/>\nand the first son of Menri and by the dictates of our tradition as<br \/>\nearlier illustrated, they cannot claim Nri, talkless of being the first<br \/>\nborn of Nri.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;According to Igbo tradition, if the male child or children of a man<br \/>\ndies before the man, they loss their position in the inheritance ladder.<br \/>\nSo, being that Okpalanakana died before his father, he lost the position<br \/>\nof Okpala of Menri and so cannot claim to be Okpala or claim right of<br \/>\nprimogeniture.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A life example is Eze Nrijiofor the 2nd, who in his live time before<br \/>\nhis coronation begot my father, Prince R.N Tabansi and his brothers.<br \/>\nWhen Eze Nrijiofor the 2nd travelled (died), the person that inherited<br \/>\nhis palace was my uncle and age mate, Prince Augustine Tabansi, who is<br \/>\nthe first son of Eze Nrijiofor 2nd after his coronation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Enugu-Ukwu,\u00a0 therefore cannot answer Isi-Nri or Okpala of Menri or Nri<br \/>\nas they are neither. They cannot even answer anything Nri.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tabansi appreciated the sound advice of Igwe Ekpeh of coming together as<br \/>\none family to protect what is theirs by extension, stressing that the<br \/>\nfour towns comprising of Enugu-Ukwu, Enugu- Agidi, Nawfia and Nri have<br \/>\ncommon Ancestry in Menri who was better known as Nri after his<br \/>\ncoronation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nri was the name known and documented by the early writers. By<br \/>\nanswering UmuNri, they sought to capitalise on a known quantity. The<br \/>\nreal name of the group should have been UmuMenri.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The term UmuNri was a creation of the 1970s by people like Chief FGN<br \/>\nOkoye, Chief R.O. Nwocha, (both of Enugu-Ukwu); Chief Ikeanyi, Chief<br \/>\nUmeano (both of Enugu-Agidi); Chief F. F. B. C. Nwankwo (Nawfia); Prince<br \/>\nR. N. Tabansi (Nri); etc, and was created to build brotherhood and<br \/>\ncommon front to seek for common good,&#8221; he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Reacting Igwe Chijioke Nwankwo, the traditional ruler of Nawfia kingdom<br \/>\nin Njikoka local government council, Anambra state, at his country home<br \/>\nwho also spoke raging issue said &#8220;No,<br \/>\nif the first son dies before the father, he has no inheritance in that<br \/>\nfamily and he losses all his entitle.<\/p>\n<p>Well, from everything I can understand in that issue, the first son<br \/>\ndied, Menri who took a title of Nri became EzeNri and re-married. The<br \/>\nissue now is whether Enugwu-Ukwu who died as the first son before their<br \/>\nfather, according to the tradition, the next wife who had Agukwu-Ukwu<br \/>\nNri is entitled to first son.<\/p>\n<p>From my own understanding, if a child dies before their parents, they<br \/>\nare not usually given proper burial because it is an abomination.<\/p>\n<p>So, if that is the case, I don&#8217;t see what we are fighting about except<br \/>\nto sit down and have a dialogue and give the thing to whom it belongs<br \/>\nto.<\/p>\n<p>By the way it seems now from everything we are putting together, it<br \/>\nfalls on Agukwu-Nri.<\/p>\n<p>The reason is that the first son died in front of his father. I never<br \/>\nknew these till I did an indepth research which gave me impetus to<br \/>\nhonour this historical interview.<\/p>\n<p>The thing is that once you are the first son and died before your<br \/>\nfather, even your son cannot inherit anything because you cannot inherit<br \/>\nwhat your father doesn&#8217;t have, it immediately ends there.<\/p>\n<p>If government takes your father&#8217;s house, you don&#8217;t have the house<br \/>\nanymore and that is my rereason.<\/p>\n<p>On the former Igwe Agwuna of Enugwu-Ukwu claiming the head of UmuNri<br \/>\nclan comprising Enugwu-Agidi, Nawfia, Agukwu-Nri and Enugwu-Ukwu, he<br \/>\nposited\u00a0 that there was nothing wrong with what late Igwe Agwuna was<br \/>\ndoing. He said he was elected to be the head uof UmuNri clan, perfectly<br \/>\nright. You can be the chairman of Ozo title holders but can&#8217;t be the<br \/>\nhead because the head is the man that first took the Ozo title.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nothing wrong only if he used that elected position to claim the first<br \/>\nson, that is where it will be wrong.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You don&#8217;t create first son by election but by inheritance which is a<br \/>\nnatural phenomenon. The first son is by nature not by election,&#8221; Igwe<br \/>\nNwankwo said.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The age long affinity been enjoyed by the two communities, Enugwu-Ukwu and Agukwu Nri, in Njikoka and Anaocha local government areas respectively, of Anambra state, is seemingly getting sour based&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":73465,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-73464","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-other-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
