Umueze Anam

Umueze Anam is a community in Anambra West Local Government Area of Anambra State, Nigeria.
==Origin and history==

It is said that Umueze Anam was founded by one hunter from Amadioba Nteje known as Nwavor in the 17th century. As a hunter, he used to hunt for game around the Omambala River when he found a peaceful peninsula across the river and settled there. He first arrived at a place called Odah Anam where he found a lot of wildlife and fertile land for agricultural purposes. After settling for about a week he went back and brought his wife and brother Udora who was a farmer and fisherman to settle in the area. They were first to settle at Odah before other settlers like Mmiata, Oroma, Umuoba, Umuikwu and Iyiora to make up Anam. Anam is a corrupt form of Anagba which means coming together of diverse people.
The people of Anam decided that their king should be the diokpala (oldest man), and since there was no means of knowing who is the oldest person among them, decided that whoever would be brave enough to fetch fire from the slave camp at Odene-Nneyi would be crowned the diokpala. Nobody took that bold step, but the Great Aziam, who went and brought fire from the camp for his brothers to use, was then crowned Diokpala (Eze-Anam).
