In the wake of recent security threats, including the tragic killing of 16 travelers in Uromi, the Onojie of Ujiogba Kingdom, HRH Solomon Ojeaga, has introduced  a set of guidelines to ensure harmonious coexistence between economic migrants and  indigenous occupants  residing in the area. These guidelines aim to promote mutual respect, understanding, and safety

The traditional ruler's message emphasizes the importance of adhering to local customs and regulations, ensuring a harmonious coexistence between migrants and the indigenous population.

While addressing the migrants at his palace, Ojeaga reassured them of their safety, highlighting the kingdom's long-standing tradition of hospitality towards people from all walks of life.

He encouraged the migrants to disregard negative comments that could potentially lead to violence, instead focusing on building a prosperous life in their adopted home.

He Urged migrants  to respect and adhere to the rules and regulations of Esanland, upholding the kingdom's rich cultural heritage.

 The Onojie emphasized the kingdom's zero-tolerance policy towards social vices, including theft, violence, and other harmful practices.

He warned that those who engage in evil practices will face severe consequences, while good people will be protected by the kingdom's shrine.

The Onojie of Ujiogba Kingdom's message serves as a reminder of the importance of community cohesion and respect for local traditions. By embracing these values, migrants can build a brighter future for themselves and their families in their adopted home.

The Esan people have a rich cultural heritage, with 35 independent kingdoms, each governed by its own Onojie (king). Their history dates back to 1000 B.C., with migrations from various regions shaping their identity.
