BUSENI AND OKORDIA IBES

BUSENI AND OKORDIA IBES: The Buseni and Okordiaf are in present day Bayelsa State. The founding ancestors of these two Ebes derived from Kolokuma and OPU-Beni (Benin city during the time of Oba Ewuare 1450 AD, of his authoritarian rule). The Okodia have as their Ebetemesuo or clan ancestral deity, Aluku-Dogo, the same as the Kolokuma.  Of course Aluku-Dogo was the nickname of Kala-Okun the ancestor of the Kolokuma. Some of the ancestors first settled at Nembe or Debe, but due to civil conflict, they moved to Orumo and Agbobiri, giving birth to those clans.

At Benin divergent traditions maintain that one Idu was the grandson of Ere, the grandson of Igodo, the first Ogiso of Benin. Refer to Olaniyan R (Certificate  History of Nigeria), p63.
