Okohia
Okohia is a community in the Isiala Mbano Local Government Area of Imo State, Nigeria, at an altitude of about 211 m.[1]
Okohia lies on the Imo River, a tributary of the Niger River, which creates a natural coastline of sandy beaches, mangrove swamps, lagoons and coastal hills. The official language is Igbo. The majority of the population are Christians, while others follow traditional beliefs.[2]
At the time of the Nigerian civil war, Okohia was part of Okigwe Division. The Administrator was Col. Samuel Onunaka Mbakwe, who later become the first democratic Governor of Imo State.[3] Okohia is the birthplace of Ikedi Ohakim, who became governor of Imo State in May 2007.[4]
