  • Notes 
    • Eze agha as his name implies, was a warrior. He was reputed to be the first person in Nnewi history to engage the services of mercenary warriors known as agha. He recruited the agha from the riverine towns of Olu to prosecute his war with the Ez eKwuabo people under Eze Okpo Dim Ughannwa. Eze kwuabo were defeated and Eze Agha took the title of Onuo ora (Conqueror of nations) in consequence.
