Uromi
Uromi is a city in north-eastern Esan, an ethnic group in Central Edo state, Nigeria. At various points in Uromi's history, the city and people have been known for their resilience and strength. The people of Uromi, led by Agba N'Ojie resisted the Benin Empire expansionism during the reign of Oba Ozolua. They were also at the forefront of the resistance of the British invasion of Esanland.
Uromi, originally known as 'Uronmun', is the most populated area in Esanland, settled by several waves of people. The first wave consisted of the aborigines who were believed to have settled in the various autonomous villages, from the present day central Nigeria. These settlements date as far back as 100 AD. The villages had a system of gerontocracy where the eldest man was the head. Then other migrants poured in from various places in present day Esanland, Ifeku Island and Igodomigodo. The Kingdom itself was formed by around the 1100 AD to 1200 AD.
The Kingdom is headed by a King who is known as Onojie in Esan language. The present King of the town is HRM, the Ojiuromi (Ojie Uromi) Anslem Okojie Aidenojie II.
