California welcomed Igwe Kenneth Onyeneke Orizu III the 17th Obi of Otolo and Igwe of Nnewi kingdom, during his global tour. He is the traditional supreme ruler and spiritual leader in Nnewi. He is a member of the Nnofo Royal lineage and the successor to his father Igwe Josiah Orizu II, his grandfather Igwe Orizu I (Eze Ugbonyamba), and great-grandfather Igwe Iwuchukwu Ezeifekaibeyahe.

Igwe Orizu III is the longest serving monarch in Nigeria and he is currently the 17th monarch in the Nnofo Royal lineage, he promotes and improves the quality of life of his people and the residents of Nnewi.

Unlike most Igbo monarchies, there were kings of Nnewi before the arrival of Europeans. Igwe Kenneth Onyeneke Orizu III has sat on the throne for 50 years and counting. His son the crowned Prince Obi Orizu is responsible for the development of several schools and houses for the widowed.

Long Live Igwe! Long Live Nnewi!Long Live The Federal Republic Of Nigeria!

The Igwe of Nnewi is breaking the kola nut.As Nd’Igbo would say, ‘He who brings kola brings life’. At such gatherings, only titled men are allowed to bless and break the kola nut.

Please can we see some shots of the Igwe of Nnewi surfing some big waves at Huntington Beach, in order that we may be convinced that the Igwe was not just California dreaming, but also shredding some face while hanging ten as the big wave breaks to the left.

I'm a Christian too, but unlike you I don't like demoting God.

God (Jesus) owns Edo (like he owns all other things on this earth of course), so don't demote Jesus unnecessarily.

It is like saying that Jonathan is the president of Nnewi.

By the way, I wish to tender my marriage proposal to the Igwe's grand-daughter that is standing to the left, with the white top, nice jugs and red cardigan. If my proposal is approved, I want to know where the traditional 20 heads of cattle are to be delivered in Southern California, particularly since my Fulani herdsmen are not very familiar with the SoCal freeway system.

Nwanne make una no kill me today biko.
The truth though is that Nnewi basically stopped bride price more than ten years ago.
Now, that doesn't mean you won't put up a decent "igba nkwu", but that's still according to your pocket. No one would deny you a babe because you are poor, unless the babe no gree.
