Histories about Odiani
The archive links no published history to Odiani yet. Its neighbours’ histories are not shown here, because a link to another community is not a history of this one.
Named in other records
Histories that mention Odiani
These are published records whose own words name Odiani. A mention is not a history of Odiani, which is why they are listed here rather than with the histories about it.
Read as: Odiani. 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.

Akua Yoruba is a second language here.
Its seven constituents are small village groups or villages in three parts: Ukwugu, Idumogo and Uburubu, which a Yoruba named Orogbuda is said to have founded; and Oburukpa, from Ezechima.
Oburukpa is the same village attached to Ezechima, entry 12, so the two entries overlap at this point. The people of Odiani are also said to speak the Akua Yoruba dialect as a second language.
