Ogugu Ntu-egbenese Kingdom[1] is an Ancient Kingdom[2] located in Awgu local government area[3], Enugu State,[3] Nigeria. The kingdom shares similarities with Ogugu in Olamaboro Local government area, Kogi State. The first traditional ruler of Ogugu Ntu-egbenese[1] was HRH Godwin Ochi[3], who passed away in 1999. Ogugu Ntu-egbenese experienced a leadership crisis after Ochi's death.[4]
The kingdom is currently led by HRH Igwe Chief Aloysius Chidozie Ogbonna Jnr, the Ìgwè elect of Ogugu Ntu-egbenese[5] who was elected on January 14, 2024[3]. The Ntu-egbenese clan extends across Awgu, Nkanu West, and Nkanu East Local Government Areas in Enugu State. Ogugu Ntu-egbenese is dedicated to preserving Igbo customs and cultural values.
The community is also known for its triennial festival, called Mgbajinwankwu, which celebrates unity, peace, and the ancestral traditions of the people.
Origin of Ogugu
editOgugu[1], originally known as Ogwugwu, is a community situated in the Awgu Local Government Area of Enugu State, Nigeria. The current name, "Ogugu[1]," emerged from dialectical variations between the native language and that of colonial settlers, which led to the adoption of "Ogugu[1]" over the original "Ogwugwu."
The name "Ogwugwu" originated from the community's founder, inspired by the area's distinct physical features. The settlement is located in a fertile valley known as Ogwugwulu, surrounded by hills that provided natural protection. The name "Ogwugwu" directly references this valley. Over time, external influences caused a shift in pronunciation, which led to the adoption of "Ogugu.”
Geography
editOgugu is bordered by Owelli town to the North,[6] the rolling lowlands of Nenwe to the South,[6] the Ọgbaku hills to the East and the Ugbo/Mmaku hills to the West.
Political structure
editOgugu is part of the Awgu North Constituency and is included in the Awgu/Aninri/Oji.[1] River Federal Constituency. It also falls within the Enugu North Senatorial Zone in Enugu State, Nigeria. The community is administratively grouped under the Ogugu/Ugbo/Owelli/Amoli political ward[6]
