The traditional rulers of Aguleri communities gathered yesterday at Obu Gad in Enugwu Aguleri to induct members of Okpoke age grade into the prestigious Ndi Ichie Aguleri society.


This year's ceremony which was sponsored by Aguleri World Forum was also used to promote the members of Mgbadabuanu age grade to Ojiana Aguleri society while Ochunagaliekwolo age grade also migrated to Ojiana Uno Aguleri.


The prestigious Ndi Ichie Society of Aguleri is considered to be the highest decision making body of the town, admission into it automatically makes one a member of the ruling class. OMT gathered that one has to attend the age of 90 years to qualify as a member and the current Okpoke age grade members alive are all qualified to join the supreme decision making organ.


OMT gathered that Aguleri town believe that at such age of a human life people tend to maintain integrity, for the sake of their family  members who regard them as role models.


Membership confers one the right to be the one to break kola nuts in family gatherings, and to give out daughters as wives to suitors in the family.
