Below is a list of the names of the kings and the queens that ruled the Chollo Kingdom from Nyikang Wad Okwa to the present king - Kwong Wad [John] Dak Padiet, in the following format: Name - Place of Reign - Period. However, I am not sure if it is all correct in terms of dates, spelling, etc.
Therefore, I am hereby asking anyone out there that may have a better or correct narration than the one shown below to come forward, and post it here. I found this narration on the bottom of the page shown in the link provided below. After having have had corrected some minor typos such as the 15-year gap that was between the reigns of Dak Wad Nyikang, which was mistakenly dated: 1590-1590 on line 3, and the one of Nyidor Wad Nyikang dated: 1605-1615 on line 4, and another 10-year gap between the reigns of Dyelguth Wad Nyadaway, which was also mistakenly dated: 1760-1760 on line 15, and the one of Kudit Wad Akon dated: 1770-1780 on line 16, as well as a few spelling mistakes here and there. Yet I am still not sure if some of the names are even spelled correctly such as Ocol on line 5, Bwoc on line 7, Akon on line 11, and Dyelguth on line 15, etc (just to name a few). Thus, your assistance will be highly appreciated.
