Elemaga

Elemaga is a small farming village in Ibere, Ikwuano, Abia State, Nigeria. Elemaga is located in the center of Inyila, Isiala Ibere, Ahia Orie, Iberenta, Itunta and Obuoru at the food belt of Ibere, about 15 km southwest of Umuahia, the Abia State capital. Elemaga is believed to be derived syntactically from the words Ele ("look"), Ma ("well") and Ga ("go") which literally means "look well before you go". Climate is tropical monsoon.

The history of Elemaga is still sketchy in general view of the Ibere community, where some argue that their ancestors moved downward with the Jewish tribes of Israel who vacated Egypt during the mass exodus of Pharaoh's era before the colonial period. Others contend that the ancestors may have migrated with Olokoro/Ibeku in Umuahia during the stone era.

Elemaga is composed of Ono-Mara-Ano (four clans), namely;

• Umunyiaokwu

• Ngboko

• Nlialanyi

• Agbommiri

There are some other kinsmen in Ahaba, Ntalakwu and Bende in neighboring Bende Local Government Area also in Abia State.
