Nri is an Igbo city-state in Anambra State, Nigeria.
Nri (the founder of Nri clan) and Aguleri were two of the sons of Eri (founder of Aguleri) and had migrated to the present day Nri from the Anambra (Omambala) river valley (Eriaka) in Aguleri in Northern Igboland.
Nri was said to have inherited spiritual powers from his father.
The Nri people belong to the Umueri clans who trace their origins to Eri.
In the Nri mythology, Nri sent by Chukwu to make peace (settle disputes and cleanse abominations) and provide Igbo people food (yam and cocoyam).
