The second era of kingship started at the present Kula, with HRM (King) Igbaniye Oko 1st, who was also the last king that ruled at the old Shipping. HRM (King) Igbaniye Oko 1st had a lot to his credit; Firstly, he successfully moved the whole Kula to the present location. Secondly, and perhaps the most remarkable was his mysterious journey to the mermaid world where he spent seven day and emerged with a new kingship attire. This is no fable, everyone in Kula knew of how a strange woman by name Queen Oruba visited HRM (King) Igbaniye Oko 1st from the river and how he was abducted for days. Seven days later, he re-emerged with heavy spiritual prowess and authority that redefined kingship in Kula. The success of the king further gained spiritual backing for the King Oko Royal House of Kula Kingdom.
Thirdly, HRM (King) Igbaniye Oko 1st is the one that had direct relationship with the titulary deity, Fenibeso of Kula Kingdom. History had it that, two of his chiefs; Chief Opuari and his brother Chief Opu-akia went fishing while they were still at the old settlement, Opu Kula and encountered a strange thing. As they were fishing in the creek with their net called Onguro, a dragging net they pulled out a human skull. They were surprised and threw the skull back into the river and continued their expedition. They turned the net to another side and dragged only to discover that the skull had been caught for the second time. Again, they threw it back into the river, but this time, the skull jumped into the boat, they threw it back, it jumped in again. Not knowing what else to do, they wrapped the skull with the net and went back home. They kept the net at their backyard and did not communicate their encounter with anybody. They also did not return the net to the owner from whom they had borrowed it. The Onguro belonged to Chief Opusinya, the head of Kongoma Community in Kula kingdom.
At mid-night, the community heard a voice calling Kulaooo! Kulaooo!! Kulaooo!!! three times, and stopped, at dawn there was mysterious sickness and death. After some days, the mysterious voice called again at mid-night, and at dawn it was calamity. At the third time, HRM King Igbaniye Oko 1st went out and responded by asking "who is the voice that is calling and disturbing the community in the dead night?". The skull replied by saying, "eyabe" meaning my friend and asked the king to receive it as a deity. "I am a deity of warfare I will take you to victory if you accept my friendship". Meanwhile, the main deity of the entire Kula kingdom is called Oblogbodo. They agreed on terms and at dawn, they took the skull to a place called Amaogonu-ju, which is the back of the community a sacred place. They built a hut and kept Obiogbodo and abandoned it there for Fenibeso, because Fenibeso has never failed Kula in warfare till date.
At Opu Kula, only men were allowed to call the deity Fenibeso by name, it is forbidden for women to call the deity by name but refer to it as Ayamina-Oru, because of a female deity called AyaminaOru that was previously abandoned. It became the female voice for the deity, and they called the Community as Ayamina-Ama and not Kula as men would do. Therefore, the present Kula is known and called Ayamina-Ama by women and called Kula by men. But with civilization and the acceptance of women's right, women can now call the community by its name - Kula. But it is still forbidden for women to call the deity, Fenibeso by name. With these achievements, HRM King Igbaniye Oko 1st started the kingship order. As the Oko the first and every other king after him took their spot behind Oko the first.
