UROMI HISTORY


The correct name is URONMUN. Uronmun is the largest and most populated Land in Esanland. Uronmun was formed by two waves of settlers from BINI between 900 and 1400AD; during the reign of the OGISOS, and 1460, during the reign of Oba Ewuare. These early Bini settlers were either fugitives fleeing persecution and the harsh rule of the OGISOs.
The founder of the first settlement in URONMUN was EGBELE, the second son of OAKHA, one of Oba EGBEKA’S wives.(1370–1400), Oakha’s other two sons- ASOKPODUDU and the third brother settled in UZOZOGAINGHAIN of Idinegbon-UZEA.
The second wave of organized mass emigration from Bini, was around 1460, during the reign of Oba Ewuare the selfish. His attempt to stop the emigration of BINIS to the present day ESANLAND was the moat he built around the city. Most of these immigrants during this wave were from IDUMOZA of BINI City.
Uronmun, is divided into three groups recognized as: OKHIODE, OBIRUAN and OBIYUAN.
