Ogbeide "The proud eagle"
432AD-447AD
After the death of Evbuobo, there was struggle for seniority between Ogbeide the Odionwere of Ugbague and the Odionwere of Okhegie. The struggle for the post was difficult for the people to settle immediately because they were contemporaries. The Odionwere of Okhegie seemed poised to win because he looked more intelligent and energetic, but unfortunately, he died during the struggle. Ogbeide was crowed. People feared Ogbeide because of the sudden death of the Odionwere of Ukhegie. Also he was very rich and employed people to trade for him. Though old, he was a proud king who always speared out his hands like the Eagle when walking and was fond of rubbing his chest all the time. He died during (Ugie) Eho Festival day. He was nick named as “Ogbeide the proud Eagle” He reined for fifteen years.
