Abakaliki Territory[]

Owing to their antecedent in present day Ebonyi State, Abakaliki scholars like C.C Ugoh in his book "gods of Abakaliki"^[3]accounted that the Orring people have been settling in the Abakaliki territory prior to the coming of the four major Igbo groups of Ezza, Izzi, Ikwo and Ngbo. Further writers have included the Orring a as the aboriginals of Abakaliki region prior to the coming of the Igbo groups. This therefore makes understanding in the sense that the Orring are more or less Igbos and have over the years, intermarried with their Igbo counterpart which thus create a beautiful culture different from the aboriginal Orring civilization. The Orring settled in a place called Ntezi-Aba presently in Abakaliki before expansion or migration to other settlements within Ebonyi State. The term Abakaliki according to linguistical contention is a Mbembe term which was very ancient before the coming of the progeny of the later Abakaliki People.
