Meanwhile do you have eZe in onitsha ?
I under Oba sorry obi of onitsha is not called EZe

Why do you try to make a connection between Obi and Oba, when it is clear you do not understand a lick of Igbo?

Obi and Eze are synonymous and mean King in the Igbo language. There are many communities (not just Onicha) where the two are used interchangeably.

Obi means, heart. Same way the King is called Obi, because he is the heart/lifeblood of the community.
It is for the same reason that you have names like Obiora (heart of the people), Obinna (the fathers' heart), Obidiya which is applied to women and means, her husbands heart.
The Living Room is also called Obi, because it is seen as the heart of a home. Now, we also have Oba, which is the barnyard in which farm produce are kept. Is it that of which you speak of?

Good evening fellow nairalanders. Pardon me for having to deviate from the topic...please I'd like to solicit your support on behalf of one of my protégés. I am a teacher.
