List of Clans in Ebiraland: Welcome to another piece of article from me (Yakubu Binuyaminu Adeiza). In this article I will list out clans in Ebiraland with the towns and villages they pre dominate, though this article will feature the sub clans (Abara) under each clan before their various locations.
In the olden days it is said that people from the same clan can marry each other but once they are from the same sub clan that means they are strictly related, and so for that reason alone they are restricted from marrying each other. That is back in the days when the population is not much and when Islam has not dominated the land, Islam teaches us that even cousins can marry each other not to talk of sub clans (Abara).

You are indeed, an enigma and your research is putting our unique tribe on the world map. Keep promoting our unique culture and traditions and I can bet, the best is yet to come. I am proud of you as most of the clans you have mentioned, i must confess, their roots and places you can find them are not known to me before now. Akooro.
Thanks for your comment and words of encouragement sir
Good Job. My clan is though yet to be included. Egiri. Dominant in Okaito, Usungwe and EikaAdagu

Great Job Bro, a good place to learn indeed. You omitted Ozi Onoko clan in mostly Eganyi also in Eika
I love what you are doing, and I have copied your number and I have sent you message, I will like to be getting some of your articles to be published in our upcoming magazine. Lets work together bro.
Keep moving…greater days ahead.
The guy is trying wallahi tallahi. That’s why ebira online is my best site to visit.
U try for even bringing this to our notice but think it remains somewhere those clan u did not mention their sub clan and also were they originated from like for example no clan is from okene if u hear history and also for example omoye have sub clan so as other clans but it was ommited
My clan is there . Keep it up Yakub, more power to your elbow.
Nice one I must comment…. Thanks so much for your article has really enlighten me on the clans and their origination in Ebira….. Keep up the good work bro the sky shall certainly be your starting point… Bravo
Nice one Bro. But the clan may be the same in name but can not be the same in subclan e.g ozi uka in ihima has omoko and ayisana as subclan, while ozi otu in ihima also has Ata and Ava as subclan.
You have tried but I think you need to do a whole of research next time so that you won’t feed the coming children with scrabs.
We have Ezi Agada in okene a brother to Ezi Okovi
Adayi Agada has five sons
Ezi Obe foundly known as Ezi Akuta
subclans
EGIRI
ONOBO
ADOHE
ASAIDU
OWEH
Ezi Osusu
(Research for subclan)
Ezi Avi
Ezi Ede Ezi ohimoroko
Research for subclan
Ezi Ogu
Subclans include Okara and others
Predominately in okengwe,okene ,ihima ,Adavi and Ajaokuta.
God bless you this.
Thank you all for your comments
Thanks for all of your write-ups
Great work… But i think u should know dat some of this clan are actually related… For instance ozi ogu and ozi omoye are said to be related as they were fathered by one man… I think ur next research should be more wholistic, that our people will know that we are all one and no need for the hating.
Very poor research, pls try to be accurate in a vital subject like this as most of your sub-clan is incorrect, incomplete and even the place they’re based.
For me you have really tryed …as I have read all the comments..it is time to fix things as its globally viewed…either mistake or omissions I am still impressed on your wisdom too. May Allah make it easier for you n your team. I am in kano as if I am at home . Good work please .
I must commend you for good starting. A lot need to be done. The history of Ebiraland have been suffocated and strangulated with lies, lies, and lies.
Walohi i’m very happy to this un disputable work, put more effort sir God will raise you to a lofty attain. I doff my cap for you sir
Thank you sir
I commend you for the useful write up but you really need to do more research on your next article. Talking about the town & villages Otu clan dominates I was expecting to see places like Kuroko which is where they even celebrate Onyete day yearly, Osisi & some other places
Ozi- Obe which popular known as Akuta clan in Ebira Land have five Sub clan ( Abara)
1 Egiri
2. Asaidu
3. Adohe
4. Owe and
5. Onobo
This is a great piece but you didn’t list the sub-clans under “oziada”. They are 3 subclans under Oziada: Asuwe (eldest), Omavi(middle) and Ehebe (youngest).
It’s really a commendable one but what I noticed here is bringing forth an unrelated clan by making them one. For posterity sake, Aniku and Eyire are not historically related and as such, can’t be identified as a particular clan for the purpose of your research. Further more, places like Upake that’s the ancestral home of ebiras was not captured in your analysis. Take note.
Ozi obaji from obangede an d 5clan dat combine them together. U try Sha 07030568998
