Anyagbara
Obi of Asaba
Asaba Kingdom
About
Anyagbara was the second ruler of Asaba, succeeding his father Nnebisi, the founder of the kingdom. He belonged to the Enuani (Anioma) people of present-day Delta State, Nigeria. His reign is placed approximately between 1650 and 1680, a period during which the nascent Asaba settlement continued to consolidate its identity along the western bank of the Niger River. As the son of Nnebisi, Anyagbara inherited the leadership of a community that traced its origins to a migration from Igala or Benin, and his rule helped to establish the hereditary line that would evolve into the Asagba stool.
