UTUTU And Her Neibouring Villages






 IHECHIOWA:  Ututu Clan is bounded in the North by Ihechiowa Clan. Oral history tells us that the Ututu migration (which happened at the same time as the Ohafia and Abam migrations respectively) took place before the Ihechiowa people came to inhabit their present location.
However some Ihechiowa Villages notably Umuchiakuma still trace their history to Asaga Ohafia, and the similarity in language between the Clans attest to the fact that there is some strong connection between the ancestors of the two Clans. Also the maternal descents “Ikwu” made up of descents who can trace their maternal lineage from a particular woman are all evidences of the strong ties between the two Clans.

The TRADITIONAL Ceremonies In UTUTU Land



 
It is a debt that every society owes posterity, to research and document their culture in order to avail future generation the opportunity to appreciate the cultural traits as practiced by their forbears. Ututu people are known throughout Igboland for their rich and diverse traditional ceremonies and this chapter is my humble attempt to shed some light on this buoyant cultural heritage of the people. Ututu people chronicle the months of the year by different traditional ceremonies, and because the people are farmers, these festivals are also in consonance with the people's agricultural cycle.

A REVIEW OF THE PRE-COLONIAL UTUTU



 
The purpose of this chapter is to examine exhaustively the life of the Ututu people before contact was made with the white-people at the beginning of the 20th century. A convenient point to begin this scrutiny is the method of acquisition of land; this is because land was the single most important property that determined the status of an Ututu man in the pre-colonial days.
There are two categories of land in Ututu; i.e.
(a) Residential lands.
                     (b) Farm lands.

A Review Of The TRADITIONAL Administration In UTUTU



In order to survive, men must organize themselves into groups and subgroups. And in order to keep the group functioning well, men must learn to co-operate. They must try to avoid violent, ruthless struggles for wealth and power in favour of peaceful competition, and they must make and enforce rules to prevent "anti­social behaviours from disrupting the group. A well organized community is simply the practicalization of methods that various people have devised to create and maintain collective orderliness and security.
