Ogbunka is a town in Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra State, Nigeria. It has five villages: Awuka, Umunobe, Akwuoba, Agbala and Isiokpu. ==History of Ogbunka== Ogbunka began with a man called Nka who was believed to have migrated from Iwollo in Ezeagu Local Area of Enugu State in the 14th century A.D. to place that is called Ogbunka today. He got married and begat a son called Ogbuzuru, acronymed Ogbu. His full name became Ogbunka - a concatenation of Ogbu and Nka, which translates as Ogbu, the son of Nka. As time progressed, Ogbu married three wives and made five sons. The first wife gave birth to Isisekpunti and Oba, the second wife produced Onwuka and Okparanaku, while the last wife had only Nobem Echina. The immigrant settler called Nkazimuzo ‘Nka’ discovered the virgin land and settled therein. Though the actual year was not known, history and archaeology point towards the 14th century AD. Legend indicates that a team of four hunters left their abode in the ancient Iwollo settlement for hunting expedition outside their forests. In the ancient days, dangerous animals were prevalent in the forest; as a result, hunters moved in teams. This would offer them the opportunity for excellent defence if they were attacked by any of these animals. It is believed that these hunters were able to determine their position by reading the rising and the setting of the sun. While they hunted within the forest south of Udi River, one of them ran into a woman in the forest. Though the origin of the woman was not recorded, the hunter was believed to have fallen for the woman and subsequently settled with her in the forest. The name of this hunter was not known. But it is believed that the six descendants of this couple formed the Achi people in the present Oji-River Local Government Area of Enugu State. Ogbunka comprises five villages - Isiokpu, Awuka, Agbala, Umunobe and Akwuoba. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ogbunka」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
