An Island now known as Okujagu-Ama was discovered and inhabited by a great Man called OKOMBA. He occupied the island with some of his relatives, slaves and servants. They migrated from Egweme Biri in the Okirika Island.
Okujagu Island originally served as fishing port before it was eventually transformed to an autonomous Community.
It was previously referred to as “Iwoama” , that is “New Settlement” in Okrika language.
Ojimba and Okuru were also relatives of Okomba. They relocated from Egweme Biri and got their respective settlements with the assistance of Okomba.
OKOMBA was a well-known chief, wealthy but Tyrant and Autocratic in nature. He was a warlord and also a trader in slaves.

OKOMBA had a special love for one of his slaves which he called CHE-INABOSO (meaning what has been offending people in you) with the nickname OKUJAGU.
OKOMBA adopted his beloved servant (Che-Iniaboso) as a son, though he (OKOMBA) had other children. Ibitamuno (CHIOMA) was one of his children.
His kingship was ironically taking away from his biological children when he adopted his slave CHE-INIABOSO as his successor.
CHE-INABOSO became the king of the land at the demise of OKOMBA. The popularity of his nickname gradually took over as the name of the Island "OKUJAGU-AMA" which led to gradual wiping away of his master's name OKOMBA. The Island is presently referred to as Okujagu-Ama.
He acted as mercenary for some neigbouring Ikwere communities during communal conflicts. He was given some spans of lands as honourarium for taking them to victories.
The present Azuabie is one of such lands. Others have been lost to land grabbers.
OKOMBA gave birth to CHIOMA, Chioma gave birth to TAMUNO-MIEYE (Tamie the only son) and some daughters commonly referred to as Ada Furo (i.e. families of daughters) in the community presently.
At this point in time, the community was already divided into compounds. Tamie came from the Bipialaka Compound.
