Obosi is a town in Anambra State, southeastern Nigeria. A hotly-contested site during the Nigerian Civil War, the town of about 140,000 people is one of the most densely-populated in West Africa. Presently Obosi Ukwala is situated ina hilly area, bordered by Onitsha to the North-west, Nkpor to the North-east and Oba to the south-east, all part of the old Idemili local government area, with exception of Onitsha. Oral history shows that Obosi people originated from Arochukwu via Ojoto .
Adike, the founder of Obosi, was the son of Okpala, who had other sons who permanently resided in Ojoto. For this relationship he is still known as and referred to as Adike-Okpala. One of the grandsons of Adike was also named Okpala. Listed below is the genealogy of Adike. Okpala, Ezeani and Okpo are the first sons of the first son of Adike, named Oba. Ota, Ura, Makum, Uruowulu, Ugama and Ire are the sons of Adike’s son, named Okudu. In addition to these nine descendants of Adike, another family (named Chima), came from the western side of the river Niger to settle at Obosi. Amongst these ten families, Ota, Umuru, Okpala, Ezeani, Okpo and Chima formed one quarter, now known as Umuota, meaning the Ota’s children, while the remaining four, Makum, Ugama, Uruwulu and Ire each formed a quarter.
