Emehen "The Oraculist"
447AD-466AD
One of the greatest diviner who became Ogie Odionwere was Idudia known as Ogiso “Emehe”. He was chosen from Emehe quarters in the present areas of Owinna in Igun Eronmwon. Many people in the city had known him because of his profession as a diviner- an Oguega oraclist. He told stories when divining and interpreted his spiritual message. Only clever people were able to understand his interpretation of the oracle, but when understood and adhered, his divination prescription hardly failed. Because of this people went to Emehe quarters to consult the oracle in his place. He became known as “Emehe the Oraclist”. After he became Ogiso he still continued his ‘Oguega’ practice and used his ‘Ewaise’ or servants to consult for people. He ruled for 19 years. There was a reported movement of stars in the sky before he died. This was a sign of his greatness
