About

The Obi of Ogwashi-Uku is the traditional monarch of the Ogwashi-Uku Kingdom, an Enuani (Anioma) community in present-day Delta State, Nigeria. The title traces a long line of succession rooted in the kingdom’s founding narratives. The tenth Obi, known as Okolie III, was the son of the previous ruler, Okolie II, and occupied the ancient throne at an undetermined period in the kingdom's pre-colonial or early colonial history. Detailed records of his reign, specific accomplishments, and exact dates are not widely documented in published sources, making his individual historical footprint difficult to reconstruct with certainty. He is remembered primarily through oral tradition and the royal genealogy of the Ogwashi-Uku ruling house.
