I’m not Ibo/Igbo but I love them, because their culture, tradition and ways of life never cease to intrigue me.

I often hear EZE (think of Eze Goes to School), and I phoned one elderly man in Owerri, who happens to be my friend’s dad. He told me Eze has something to do with “king.” But he lived most of his life in Lagos before he went back to Owerri.

His children were born and bred in Lagos, and therefore, they don’t understand Igbo language.

Now, please, what’s Eze? And most importantly, what Ezemo?

Is it a name or a title or what?

I’d appreciate and answer by a knowledgeable person.

am not an igbo but Eze is like a leader i.e king in Igbo land
But the ezemo.. The Jewish migrants people will explain better
Over to you

Oba orun! King of spirits. Shikena!

Eze means King but I didn't get the Ezemo part or is it Ezemmuo you wanted to ask about? Ezemmuo means King of the spirits or another appellation for Chief Priest. Maybe you are thinking of Ezemo o! used in Natheniel Bassey's Imeela, it however, means my King!

Eze m ooo means my king. If you meant to say Eze mmuo, it means king of the spirits or one who has access to commune with the spirits. Eze simply means king or leader.
