There has been a long standing dispute that kept resurfacing at the time of installation of a new successor to the dead ruler in Etinan, an ancient town located inland along the coast of the Atlantic in the southeastern part of Nigeria in West Africa. The disputing families, Nung Otu Oyo and Nung Umo Etukudo had on two occasions in 1918 (between Akpan Osukpong and Udo Ema), and in 1947 (between Jonah Akpan Nsek and Harry Inyang Etuk) disputed about whose right it was to rule Etinan. The wisdom of the aged, the maturity and peaceful nature of the Etinan people are revealed in the documented session proceedings in this book. It has unravelled in depth history of this small community which is now the headquarters of Etinan Local Government Area in Akwa Ibom State in Nigeria.
