"It also chronicles the relationship between various Igbo groups, notably Umunri Clan, Umuiguedo, the larger Igbo subgroups, and the influence of Igala and Benin Kingdoms on the Igbo ethno-cultural heritage. The book highlights similarities and historical cultural links between the people of Umunri, Umuiguedo Clans, and especially the relationship between Umueri and two indigenous villages and cultural heads of Aguleri community, Okpu and Umunoke villages..." - Chief Godwin Obidike, Ex-President, Umueri General Assembly (UGA)
