By Agbor is meant a race, a metropolis or a seed or
a seed on which a family grows, biologically, a swamp.
The Obi or Eze is the
symbol of unity, the most powerful figure in the state/area. The Dein, Eze Agbor
ruled through his Governors posted to all the village of his kingdom, encouraging
over 50 000 inhabitants in approximately 110 square miles or about one half in
numbers and in size or the area "Ika"
as a whole.
The
traditional Monarchy
Agbor cherishes the
Ezeship institution and designates the king as Eze or Dein. The office of Dein
Eze Agbor is hereditary from father to senior son.
No female ruler is
allowed on Agbor throne. Every Eze Agbor is an Ogbea - Nmuw - Dein born. Every
Agbor citizen is obliged to support the Eze and regard him as a brother and as
the friend of all.
Any wrecklessness he
treats with impunity, for he is the supreme head of our state who rules through
a hierarchy of noble elders and title holders. These men in council uphold the
native law and custom with justice and equity as the custodians of Agbor
culture, lives and properties, they also enact laws and have the right to
execute them justly under democratic principles.
One of the monarchs that have carried himself
with admirable gait and candor in Niger Delta, nay Nigeria and the world is His Royal Majesty, Benjamin Ikenchukwu
Keagborekuzi, Dein of Agbor Kingdom, an Igbo town in Delta North Senatorial
district, Delta State. Dein of Agbor Born June 29, 1977, the monarch who will
be 40 very soon, became the world’s youngest monarch when kingmakers installed
him in 1979 at the age of two years, four months, has demonstrated wisdom
beyond his age. The Guinness Book of World Records captured the rare feat in
its 1981 edition. He has avoided scandal like a plague and rarely grants press
interviews. The Guinness Book of Records recorded the country as having the
world’s youngest crowned monarch at the time.Agbor have a tradition here that
dates back to 721 BC, which is our first dynasty of which he is the 19th monarch.
From 1270 AD, the monarchy here is hereditary.
Agbor kingdom is an amazing place; it is an amazing
kingdom, it boast of illustrious sons such as the Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele and
one of the most successful business-entrepreneur in Africa, Jim Ovia, is also from
Agbor kingdom too.
