Histories about Okpoha
The archive links no published history to Okpoha 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 Okpoha
These are published records whose own words name Okpoha. A mention is not a history of Okpoha, which is why they are listed here rather than with the histories about it.
Read as: Okpoha. 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.

Okpoha is a village of the Afikpo clan in Afikpo North, Ebonyi State — one of the settlements that make up Ehugbo rather than a clan in its own right.
Okpoha stands with the other villages of Afikpo and is governed with them. It has no separate origin tradition: it is part of Ehugbo, and its people are Afikpo.
