THE GATEWAY TO THE EAST - ONITSHA


The serenity, the hospitality and all that welcomes a visitor will never be forgotten. I was well received when I got to Onitsha and I must be honest with you the drive on the Long Onitsha bridge connecting to Asaba 

There few towns that connects this Ancient pride of the East

Nkpor
Obosi

Onitsha operates a traditional government headed by the Obi, who is assisted by Ndi Ichie, titled red cap elders or chiefs. 


Among these are Ndi Ichie Ume, who are the First Class Chiefs. The Ndi Ichie are classified into six, namely: Onowu Iyasele, Ajie Ukadiugwu, Odu Osodi, Onya Ozoma, Ogene Onira and Owelle Osowa, with Onowu Iyasele as the traditional Prime Minister. There are also other Ndi Ichie, who are ranked second class, known as Ndi Okwa and third class, known as Ndi Ichie Okwareze. The Ndi Ichie serve as Council of Advisers to the Obi who solicits their advice in major decisions he makes in the Kingdom.
