Umuanuta kindred Uruoji village Nri 22nd January 2022

Dear Sir,
"Letter to all the villages and kindred in Nri"
Our attention has been drawn to the above subject published in page 155 to 164 of Omenana na Odinana Nri written by one Chukwudi Nwokoye and one Charles Chizoba Chukwurah as co-authors in which Umuanuta kindred of Uruoji village Nri was conspicuously and mischievously not mentioned as a kindred of Uruoji village with the extent to rubble- rouse the already existing problems in the village and Nri community in general that is being managed for peaceful resolutions.
Umuanuta kindred of Uruoji village Nri therefore wish to clearly and unequivocally expressed our disappointment in the ignorance of the authors of the book here above mentioned and we hereby resolve to state our position in the matter as follow:
1. That Nri town so far has six villages which are :
i.Agbadana village
ii. Uruoji Village
III.Obeagu Village
iv.Uruofolo Village
v.Diodo Village
vi. Ekwenaayika village
2. That the four kindreds that make up Uruoji are:
I. Umuanuta kindred
ii. Umuesona kindred
III.Umunrimalo kindred
iv. Umunrievuzo village
We would not like to go into the controversies and ridiculous procedural errors and fiasco that surrounded the purported Anuta village creation since the matter is with a court of competent jurisdiction to avoid any act of contempt of the court until judgement on the matter is given.
Of course the Authors agreed in pages twenty four and twenty five of the book that there are three villages in Agukwu section of Nri, when they stated that there are two Ogwemuo units in Agukwu section (Ogwemuo one and Ogwemuo two) for easy adminstration of Ichi Ozo in Nri in which case only Agbadana village,Obeagu village and Uruoji village kindreds made up the two ogwe muo.Now in which Ogwemuo does the so called Anuta village belongs. This is to further expose their mischief and mission to set confussion in the town . But those who stir up the spring will themselves drink the dirty water.
Umuanuta kindred of Uruoji village Nri therefore wish to disassociate ourselves from the spurious publication as it is misleading, misinforming and grossly ill- intended.
Long live Nri
Long live uruoji village
