Igwegbe Odum

Eze Igwegbe Odum (sometimes called Chief Igwebe Odum) was an Aro Igbo politician born in the Nigerian town of Mbaukwu in present-day Awka South LGA in Anambra state.

Igwegbe Odum, was not Aro by origin, but a migrant like many settlers in Arondizuogu.

His life story became the subject of Omenuko[1] the earliest Igbo novel written by Pita Nwana.

Igwegbe Odum never made it back to his homeland of Mbaukwu.

Along with his brothers, he settled in Ndi-Aniche Uno in Arondizuogu.
