Ihembosi,oftentimes is mistaken for another community in Ihiala local government Area named 'Mbosi' with whom they share a patrilineal bond.
These two, traces their origins to Otolo Nnewi and are bounded by their common totem animal 'the african giant white tailed rat'called ewi in the local parlance.
It will be noted that Nnewi means 'mother of the white tailed giant rat',and these three communities are forbidden to feast on this rodentia.
Recently, the Anambra State government under Chukwuma Soludo has taken up the erosion control projects by diverting the flash floods that runs down the hill towards Umuohi village where much of the devastation are being witnessed to Ubu river through some intricate channels of underground drainages.The community also celebrates cultural activities like the New Yam festival.
This was caused by the delay in constructing the Ihembosi – Ozubulu -Ukpor roads which were contracted in 2016 but abandoned until recently.
The eight communities that are affected by the flood are Umuabo, Umunakwa, Uhualor, Chiekenta, Otukwe, Onucha, Ubahu and Umuohi.
