About

The Obi of Ogwashi-Uku is the traditional ruler of the Ogwashi-Uku Kingdom, an Enuani (Anioma) community in present-day Delta State, Nigeria. The monarchy traces its lineage through a succession of Obis who governed the kingdom before and during the British colonial period. By the early twentieth century, the kingdom, like many in the region, was navigating the pressures of colonial administration while maintaining its cultural and political institutions. The reign of various Obis in that era witnessed transitions that shaped the modern identity of Ogwashi-Uku.
