"OKEHO IN HISTORY was commissioned to celebrate the centenary of the relocation of Okeho back to its original site in 1917....... "In the beginning, Okeho did not exist as one entity. Instead, there were eleven villages separated by hills and valleys, each living in solitude and in fear of aggression from greedy land grabbers and heartless enslavers. Without external prodding, however, the original settlers had the insight to initiate an unusual arrangement in the annals of history. Leaders of the eleven villages decided to combine their forces to fight for their survival and prosperity amidst the onslaught of brutal wars of aggression from far and near. In their native wisdom, without any exposure to Western ideas of governance, they started a confederal arrangement which has since morphed into a solid community of patriots. In Okeho, the many became one."
