Histories that mention Awgu
These are published records whose own words name Awgu. A mention is not a history of Awgu, which is why they are listed here rather than with the histories about it. Records already listed above are not repeated.
Read as: Awgu. 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.

It is a village group of small size that came out of Awgunta, one of the towns of the Anike group (No. 20).
The group lies on the plains of southern Nkanu, which were settled westward out of the eastern uplands, largely from that uplands' southern part and from Abaja Udi. It has no towns within Awgu, and Forde & Jones report no other tradition.
