This Is How An OZO Title Holder Is Buried In The South East (Photos) by LagosOrigin(op): 12:13pm On Jul 02
Did you know that an OZO title holder in the east is not buried lying down?

He is buried seated.

To the Igbo, an OZO never truly dies. He joined Ndi Ichie, the ancestors, and continue as a guardian of tradition and justice.

That is why his burial is unlike an ordinary burial.

Only fellow OZO title holders perform the sacred final rites, following customs that have been preserved for generations.

Every step reflects the honour, responsibility and spiritual status that comes with the OZO title.

It is one of the many traditions that remind us how deeply the Igbo people value leadership, culture and the enduring bond between the living and their ancestors.

But there is actually no other thing to talk about him Na.
He will be buried like an OZO and he will develop back problems while been dead for not lying flat in his grave 🪦

The Ọzọ title is a rare title conferred on those who have made their mark in a community. The title is not for riffraffs, table rousers or never-do-wells. It is also expensive.

There are rules and regulations on how an Ọzọ chieftain should live, but I won't post it here.

Ozo is a very important title in igbo land. They are the decision makers of our land before the British invasion. Before we don't have a king rather it's chief priest tho he is also considered as eze(king).
