 According to Jungwirth (1968), “when he got to Ovia N’Unuame he declared again if he returned safely from Ora he would offer a sacrifice with a ram, four feathers from a parrot, chalk and some cowries”.Oba Esigie (1504-1550) with the support of Unuame, defeated his brother Arhuan N'udo, in a fierce battle for his disrespect to the crown.Before gathering the Benin army at Unuame to engage Udo, Queen Idia made a vow to Ovia N'unuame (Unuame Ovia shrine) on behalf of Esigie so that he would emerge victorious over Arhuanran.
