Adeyemi Olajide » Do you know that Ata Ameh oboni refused to bow to Queen Elizabeth ii when she visited Lokoja??

Ata Ameh oboni said " I'm a father, it is a taboo for a father to bow for his children, and abomination for a man to bow for a woman. Abomination!!!
The ability and boldness of atta ameh oboni then made Igala Kingdom to earn a great respect among other kingdom and ethnic nationalities.
And this display of courage made Queen Elizabeth ii to send a special Royal seat all the way from UK to Ata Ameh oboni.
Again,,, Do you know?
. Do you know that it was Ata Ameh oboni that erected the present statue of Inikpi Oma ufédô baba at the exact spot where she was buried alive?
It was just formally preserved by local fence . It was during the reign of Attah Ameh oboni that the present statue was erected.

Do you still know that Ata Ameh oboni rejected an offer of a high powered plant for the palace simply because the plant could not serve the entire Idah community??

Do you know that the first primary school in aguleri, Anambra state was built by the then Igala native Authority under the watch of Atta ameh oboni?
