About

 Welcome to Ozikoro

Ozikoro was born from the passion for preserving the cultural heritage of the Igbo people. Our mission with this website is to explore the often-overlooked aspects of Igbo history and culture, especially to understand the societal structures, spiritual practices, and ways of life of Igbo people that existed long before colonial contact. We aspire to make this a platform where history meets anthropology, customs, and philosophies that has influenced modern Igbo life.

Our Aim

The primary motivation for this website was to challenge the misconceptions we have learned about Igbo history. Our Igbo ancestors were deliberately dehumanized by those who strived to exploit them, and even though the time has passed, the harm that was done persists. These false narratives has continued to shape Nigerian media, societal culture, politics and history by reinforcing habits of self-neglect and a lack of true self-awareness.
 

What We Do 

At Ozikoro, we create a rich repository of articles, researches, and valuable content that celebrate Igbo heritage in all of its forms. From the ancient origins of the five main Igbo tribes, Igbo spirituality and the complex rituals of traditional religion (Omenani & Odinani) to the social norms and political structures of precolonial Igbo societies, we strive to cover every aspect that defines what is known today as Igbo identity. We aim to educate, inspire, and spark quality conversations, encouraging our readers to engage with their Igbo tribe/clan history and traditions in meaningful ways.
