Culture & Leadership
The Ukwe
The Ukwe is the Supreme Head of the Kutebland. In the proceeds of time as already ordained by KUTEB himself, this position is reserved for the Likam and Akente, which eventually appears that the value attached to seniority in Kuteb culture accounts for the retention of certain superiority by the Likam, and Akente the next most senior and neighbouring clan to Likam by being the source of the two royal families of Takum for the stool of Ukwe Takum. Even in modern Politics and Government, the seniority factor among the Kutebs still accounts rulers since 1500 AD.
