Nkpor

It is attached to the much larger city of Onitsha to the west, Oze to the north, Ogidi and Umuoji to the east, and Obosi to the south. The name 'Nkpor' is derived from the adulteration of the Igbo word nkpogho meaning 'repositioning,’ and pronounced Nkpọọ in Nkpor dialect of Idemmili. Nkpor is known for its farming prowess. There is a maize known as ‘akpu aka Nkpor’ because of its robust yield and is reminiscent of Nkpor men who are often muscular. In ancient times, a rich man is known in Nkpor for his rich yam barn and the number of animals in his pen. An average Nkpor indigene does not buy foodstuff in the market, and does not deny his visitors food. Nkpor is a traditional Community that worshiped the God of their ancestors like Idemmili before the advent of Christianity.
