This is weird, especially his wife mourning him while he's alive, also weird is the fact that a burial rite will be done for him while he's still alive. Does it mean that there would be no burial ceremony for him wen he eventually passes on? Udmaster come and answer

Udmaster:
its done mainly from father to the first son which the new wife after the coronation will give birth to.

Igbo enweghi Eze.



He is Eze Nri, he has no influence in other igbo communities. You guys should stop this hyping. I'm Igbo, my genealogy and that of my village didn't originate from Nri.

scholes0:


This is 948AD to date, not BC.
Also, some of these Ezes seem to be reigning for too long, some for over 95 years, one even around 100 year reign. How come?
Nice post.

Infact when my dad told me our full history I discovered we were from Ijaw and migrated to present day Imo state. He also told me that so many Igbo communities especially from Imo and Abia migrated from rivers and some from Congo. For instance some okrika people live presently in Imo and bears umuokrika.......so the igbos do not hve once source. Basically Igbos were migrants and settlers!

fluxbush:
We Abians have no link or history whatsoever with Nri. I don't understand why Anambraians believe that ALL Igbos originated from Nri. Balderdash.

SoNature:


There are 3 types of Igbo

1. Igbo ochie: People no longer speak it, and Igbos of nowadays may struggle to understand it

2. Igbo ohuru: This is a major change from Igbo ochie and often not in use. Example of Igbo ohuru is "akpa ego ise." Most of us don't even understand it.

3. Igbo ugbua: This is the Igbo we speak and understand nowadays.

In summary, some of the names you didn't understand fall into the category of Igbo ochie.

It is sad most of us claim to be Igbo but we have not done enough to learn our language. Smh

Thats a Lie from the PIT OF HELL.
Nri was the origin of all Igbos, then migration started when Igbos started settling in more hinterland and deeper areas.
- I will recommend you a book on that for you know properly about Nri Migration.

Liar Liar...NRI IS NOT THE ORIGIN OF ALL IGBOS. STOP CLAIMING NONSENSE! Aro, ngwa, owerre, wawa are from an entirely different stock. What do u gain from distorting history

You Abians??... That's the problem of our society and the major problem in igboland.
What is Abia? What is Anambra??
Mental enslavement. The create states for you, give you a geopolitical name and next thing you start to discriminate, deny and divide your heritage.
I pity for this generation of Igbos

babyfaceafrica:
I thought I was the only one that noticed that..how come some Ezes reign up to 95 to 100 years....dey lived that long?..please someone should explain

Representing uruofolo Nri

Bigmarx:
I am from Imo and Igbo. Truth be told most Imolites and Abians were migrants. Due to the position of my family I was able to see some historical documents. Though different part migrated from different source. For Instance we were originally Ikwere's and settled in parts of Imo. Some part of Abia originated from the riverside of calabar and Akwa-ibom. It varies from communities. In Imo you have a community umuokrika but they migrated from Okirika in rivers. My dad said some Imo and Abia communities came from Congo. But when they migrated Nri Kingdom was already established. Unlike the Aros that were just wanders, Nri was already an established kingdom when the rest of the region were still wandering.....loool...so technically is not wrong to call Nri the cradle of civilisation in Igbo Land....we met them here

princejayboss:


Igbo have accent writing pattern..... That got lost post colonia existence.

Biko if you don't know something... learn than to sabotage other persons work

FOODIC:
Igbo e weghi Eze...... Nri kingdom ends in ENUGU and Anambra..... Im from OWERRI and i neva knew of Nri until i started senior secondary...... Please Nri is not my Ancestor

Bigmarx:
sure now. The heir apparent was usually given birth when the eze is already old. They start reigning at a very young age and live up to 100
