Umuakasiada

Also recorded as Akashiada, Akashiada clans

Umuakasiada is the Akashiada group of Ukwuani clans in Delta State: Eziokpor, Ezionum and Umuebu, with Obiaruku grown out of Umuebu land. Their own account of where they came from is an Igbo one — migration out of eastern Igboland by way of the western Igbo towns of Asaba, Ebu, Utchi and Afor — and the older story that traces them to Benin is rejected by the researchers who have worked on it.
