AHEBI UGBABE (FIRST FEMALE KING IN ENIGU-EZIKE) Once upon a time in Igboland, there was a young woman named Ahebi Ugbabe. Born in Enugu-Ezike, Ahebi’s life began in a society where women were meant to stay within strict boundaries. But from the start, she was different—rebellious, bold, and determined to control her destiny. One fateful day, Ahebi was forced to flee her village after a dispute threatened her safety. She made her way to Igala land, where she began working as a sex worker, a role that, in her hands, became a means of survival and empowerment. Over time, she became close to local Igala leaders and later to British colonial officers. This unique position allowed her to master languages, including Igbo, Igala, Nupe, and Pidgin English, making her a formidable communicator.
