The source treats it and Osu (No. 14) as a single clan.
Its country lies in the northern belt.
Ehime and Osu (No. 14) are treated as one clan, in which the senior village group is Umueze and the second is Onicha (Dim Neze). Ehime's own groups are Onicha (Dim Neze) and Nsu, with Ikperejere, Abeke and Lowa; Umueze, Umuezeala, Abaja, Umukabia and Umunakanu belong to Osu.
A claim is also recorded about the neighbouring group at No. 16: the founder of Ihite and Umuhu is said to have come from Umueze, the senior village group of Ehime and Osu.
