About

Okolie I is listed as the sixth Obi (monarch) of Ogwashi-Uku, an Enuani (Anioma) kingdom in present-day Delta State, Nigeria. He belongs to the early phase of the monarchy, which was founded by an ancestor named Ogwashi. His father, also bearing the name Ogwashi, suggests a tradition of names recurring within the ruling lineage. Documentary details of his personal reign are scarce, and he is remembered primarily through oral and genealogical accounts that maintain the roll of Obis.
