progenitor of Adazi-Nnukwu is named Obunnkwu, the son of Okonikpa, who
was the son of Okotu. Obunnkwu is reputed to be an insatiable drinker of
water. So because of this uncontrollable thirst, his partimony was an
expense of land close to the stream. But instead of setting where he was
given, he pitched his tent chose to his relations (the other Okotu
sons). But this move appeared to have been dictated that some people
were already settled in the area that he was given. This people were the
Umudiana, the only autochthonous people of Adazi-Nnukwu. Obunnkwu
eventually settled at a place called Aro-Umuonyegwu, otherwise known as
Ana-Isi-Ora. The immediate descendants of Umuonyegwu became the Amolu
ward.
Adazi-Nnukwu in the present day has three clans namely Amolu
clan, Nnukwu clan and Amata clan. The Amolu clan is considered eldest of
the three clans.
