Notes for Onukuewu ETIE
He was a descendant of the sixteenth Olu of the Itsekiri. This could have been through Ejoh, or more likely Ejoki, a brother or half-brother of Ejoh.
There is a reference to a man or a boy named Etie twice in
55History of Itsekiri, by William A. Moore
On Page 106 there is a reference to an Etie meeting Governor Nana as a descendant of the sixteenth Olu in order to receive “their own shares of the comey paid by the European firms trading at Benin River”. On Page 112 of the book, Onukuewu Etie is listed among children of Itsekiri Chiefs sent for education at the Ogungunmanga Government School, Bonny, and when in 1903 a Government School was opened in Warri, the same Onukuewu Etie was listed among its students. Mrs Diana McIntosh attended Government School, Warri, because the headmaster was a relative. ( This was Onukuewu Etie.)
