Historical Background
According to oral and written traditions the progenitor of Ihima is Onotu, one of the six children of Itaazi Itanije, the father and ancestor of Egbira-Tao speaking people of Kogi State.
While leaving the history of how the Egbira-Tao people, along with their kith and kin of the Igala kingdom, migrated from Kwararrafa in the far North to Idah in Igala land before coming to live in her present country to those who deal with the historical background of Egbira as a whole, it will suffice to trace the migration of the Egbira Tao people from Idah to their present habitation. Legend has it that after settling down in Idah in the present day Igala Kingdom, there arose an Ata Idaa by the name of Ayegba who became tyrannical and introduced the Igala policy of Assimilation making Igala, a hither to court language, the Lingua Franca. This did not go down well with the other two half brothers, Ohimi and Itaazi, thus paving the way for their peaceful separation with Itaazi Itanije sailing across River Niger with his party to settle down in their present location.
Ihima: A Derivative Name
The name “Ihima” is derived from the exclamation “Ihi mi ma!”. When the three sons of Itaazi Itanije of the same mother, Uka, Adaviriku and Onotu, migrated from Idah to Ebira Opete, Uka the eldest was said to have settled in the present day Okengwe while Adviriku settled on the hill of the present day Adavi-Odu. The other brothers then advised their youngest brother, Onotu, to proceed to the high hill in Ikuehi and settle on top in order to serve as sentry to the others in case of an approaching warlike people. Upayi, the mother of Ebira Tao people, was said to have exclaimed; Ihi mi ma! Meaning when did I give birth to him that you want to use him as a guard against war-mongers. It was this exclamation that was shortened to ‘Ihima’ which has stuck to this day.
The Ihima People
As has been established, the progenitor of Ihima is Adai Onotu. Onotu being one of the sons of Itaazi Itanije, automatically makes Ihima a descendant of Itaazi Itanije and a district in Ebira Tao speaking people of Ebira land.
Onotu married three wives and gave birth to six male children. The first wife gave birth to Emani, the second gave birth to Ure, Ohueta and Odumi while the youngest wife gave birth to Ohionwa and Oha. These six children are the progenitors of the six native clans that make up Ihima district.
The claim of these six clans to nativity derives from their ownership of land, market and economic trees. These distinguished them from settler clans like Akuta from Okengwe and Anigwere from Epe-Edo in Edo State.
Each of the six clans enjoys absolute autonomy as they do not need to take permission from or hold consultations with one another before installing their own clan chiefs. Suffice it to say that each of the six clans is independent of one another. They only came together to consult one another when these was need to take collective decisions on matters that concerned the society. And we still do today.
