The town of Nsugbe consists of ten villages, namely Agbalagbo, Enugwu, Nnadi, Amumu, Akpalagu, Ogwuari, Amagu, Offianta, Abah, and Amaofu.
Additionally, there was a significant influx of immigrants from the Igbo-speaking parts of Delta State, who had previously lived alongside the Edo people.
Eventually, they crossed the Niger and Anambra Rivers, establishing their settlement between Ugbo Eke and Akpaka (present-day Onitsha Forest reserve), while entrusting their lands and fishing ponds to the Anam people as caretakers through an oath.
During the predynastic period, Nsugbe was a confederation of villages governed by three distinct groups: the Okala Okwule, the Umuotu, and the Otuogene.
The Okala Okwule comprised a body of village elders, while the Umuotu consisted of energetic and able-bodied men from the town.
[3] The dynastic period marked the introduction of kingship or the monarchical institution in Nsugbe, which was brought by the Ogwuari people.
A group called Ndi-Eze emerged, representing a class of multiple kings and challenging the multi-eze society.
This situation persisted until the British colonial administration arrived in Igbo land, which led to the era of warrant chiefs.
