Ighido

When Ogiso Odia died, the kingship was passed to Ighido who hailed from Ugboha or Igun Ughoha near Errie quarters. He used to be a professional black smith who made knives, hoes, chains and domestic iron materials in his ward before he became Odionwere of Igun Ugboha. He was reluctant to accept the crown, because he claimed that the god of iron did not approve of it. But the people prevailed on him that it was God’s wish that he be made king of the people. He bowed to their wish and ruled from the palace at Uhunmwidunmwun. He also had a bald head which shone like the moon. He is remembered for always celebrating his Ogun Festival at the palace and ruled for about fourteen years.
