UMUAGBAI NDOKI

The histories of communities are significant in the lives of such people who inhabit the areas whose histories have been documented. And to Umuagbai people, this memoir, the first of its kind in the life of the community, is yet another contribution to general scholarship. It is a fascinating and insightful account of the history and culture of Umuagbai Town in Ndoki land. The intention of this book, entitled Umuagbai - Ndoki: History and Culture is to set down these past events, taken from those who can still remember them, before they aretotally lost to us and to hand some down to our children and generations yet unborn in a written form. This has been my simple aim in documenting Umuagbai - Ndoki: History and Culture. With regard tothe proof of the historical facts contained in this narrative, I have left that task to future researchers bearing in mind that history is never an end to itself in its entirety; and in documenting the Umuagbai - Ndoki:History and Culture, I have placed reliance on several documents and works of other scholars among which include the Intelligence Reports on Ndoki Clan, etc. The gratitude I owe them is reflected in the manyquotes that were cited in developing the main thrust of this narrative. Umuagbai - Ndoki: History and Culture consist of eight chapters with a number of sub-sections embedded in each chapter. I accept soleresponsibility for any error of fact.
