About
Okolie V reigned as the 14th Obi of Ogwashi-Uku from 1911 until his death in 1953, succeeding his father, Okolie IV. His tenure spanned the late colonial and early pre-independence eras in Nigeria, a period of significant administrative and social change for the Anioma (Enuani) people of present-day Delta State. As the traditional ruler, he would have been responsible for upholding the customs of the Ogwashi-Uku Kingdom while navigating the evolving relationship with British colonial authorities. Details of his personal life and specific achievements remain sparse in accessible records, but his reign contributed to the continuity of the monarchy during a transformative half-century.
