The Era of Agentic AI
For the past three years, we’ve been smitten with "prompt engineering."

The Timeless Title: “Olu of Warri” – A Pre-Colonial Legacy Rooted in History, Affirmed by Colonial Recognition Before 1952
The title “Olu of Warri” stands as an enduring symbol of sovereignty, predating colonial rule by centuries and embodying the unbroken monarchy of the Warri Kingdom. Far from being a modern invention, this title traces its origins to the late 15th century, when Prince Ginuwa, son of the Oba of Benin, founded the kingdom in 1480 as “Iwere” – the ancestral homeland of the Itsekiri people. Historical records, maps, and accounts from European explorers unequivocally demonstrate that the monarch was consistently referred to as the Olu or King of Warri long before British colonial interference. The temporary shift to “Olu of Itsekiri” in the 1930s was a colonial administrative concession tied to the creation of Warri Province, but compelling evidence from colonial documents reveals that the British authorities had already recognized and supported the historical validity of “Olu of Warri” as early as 1936 – well before the formal restoration in 1952. Through persuasive evidence from Portuguese decrees, ancient maps, literary accounts, royal narratives, and declassified colonial dispatches, this article affirms that the “Olu of Warri” has always been the rightful designation, reflecting a kingdom’s sovereignty and its king’s dominion, with pre-1952 colonial endorsements underscoring its legitimacy.
