Ọba Ozolua N'Ibaromi

This is the story of Ọba Ozolua, the great warrior king. Chief Utete n'giabi speaks about the circumstances that surround his birth and why his father, Ọba Ewuare I had to decree that an heir apparent will never die as a prince. He says that Ọba Ozolua was named Okpame at birth because at the moment Okpota, the herbalist, was preparing the medicine to be given his mother a heavy rain started - okpame n'okhua. Furthermore, he explains the meaning of the name Ozolua and how his father Ọba Ewuare I met Idiaro and a very mystical warrior king when he became king. He uses figurative expressions to narrate the tragedy that befell Ọba Ozolua in the hands of his sword-bearer, Ise n'omuada n'Utekon. He also speaks about Ọba Ewuakpe, Queen Iden n'Okpokhuo and Iyase Ode. He narrates what led to the civil war that broke out during the reign of Ọba Ewuakpe. He uses coded Edo language that only someone well grounded in Edo language can easily understand. This shows how the past has been communicated by the people over the years.
