Named in other records
Histories that mention Amagunze
These are published records whose own words name Amagunze. A mention is not a history of Amagunze, which is why they are listed here rather than with the histories about it.
Read as: Amagunze. Counted where the name is written with a capital, because a lower-case occurrence of a name that is also an ordinary word is the word.
The record
What the archive holds for Amagunze
| Region | Enugu |
|---|---|
| Division | Northern Igbo |
| Ethnic group | Igbo |
| Recorded as | clan |
Each community has its own derivation: Amagunze itself is related to the Akunano section of Akegbe-Ozalla (No. 33); Akpofu, which split from Akpugo, the clan entered above as No. 32; Onicha Agu, whose people came from Onicha among the North-Eastern Igbo; and Ihuokpara, from Akpugo as well as from that same Onicha.
It is counted among the settlements of the southern Nkanu plains, where offshoots that left the uplands for the plains and foothills form village groups no longer identifying with the hill people and claiming descent from a mixture of upland centres as well as from groups of the North-Eastern Igbo and of the Cross River area.
