Olu Ginuwa was a Prince from Benin Kingdom who arrived Itsekiri land in present day Ijala in an ark and later became the first Olu of Warri around 1480. He was the eldest son of Oba Olua of Benin Kingdom and the heir apparent to the throne of the Benin Kingdom until he migrated to Warri, where he was later crowned.
According to Jacob U. Egharevba’s History of Benin page 21, Prince Ginuwa later known as Oba Ginuwa was a kind and generous king. He was noted to be one of the most generous kings who sometimes paid the debt of his subjects when they can’t afford to pay their debtors.
