Etsu Nupe

Etsu nupe is the etsu of all nupecizhi in the world.

In this article, we shall be discussing the following:

Etsu of nupe.

This is a traditional tittle conferred to only Emir of Bida as the etsu of all nupe people.
Emir of nupe is the leader of all nupezhi in the world. Be who you are, one’s you’re a nupe. Emir of nupe is your king.

You may want to know the position of other etsuzhi in kinnupe? Example:
Emir of Agaye.
Emir of Patigi
Emir of Lafiyagi
And any other etsuzhi in kinnupe.




The question will be better be answer as; all the Etsuzhi in kinnupe are under his Royal Highness “Etsu Nupe”. It will be better we say Emir of nupe is also the the Etsu of Etsuzhi in kinnupe.

Emir of Agaye, Emir of Lapai, Emir of lafiyagi, Emir of Patigi e.t.c are all representative of there places. Each head the nupe of his locality.

As kinnupe is very large, their is need we have many kings as we have it today. And among these kings, their is need they have a leader to be the eyeball of the kingdom. That is the Reason why Emir of bida was chosen to be head of these Kings. And this is not restricted to a particular person or a ruling king. This tittle is given to the Emirate.

As history has it, Bida Emirate is not the first Emirate to be confer with title of Etsu nupe. Perhaps it might shift one day but for now Bida Emirate owns the tittle of Etsu of nupe.
