Image
                  Written by Matarazee Do you know that the great Nri kingdom of Awka was founded in the 900 AD in the North Central of Igboland and is considered the oldest kingdom in Nigeria. It was a center of spirituality, learning, and commerce. The Nsukka-Awka-Orlu axis is said to be the oldest area of Igbo settlement and therefore, homeland of the Igbo people. . They were agents of peace and harmony whose influence stretched beyond Igboland.
