Who is an NZE na Ozo?
NZE na Ozo is a person of extraordinary wisdom who has entered a state of sanctity or holiness with the result that he always speaks, acts and stands on the side of Truth even if he stands alone.
An Nze na ozo is the mouthpiece and defender of the downtrodden, the defenceless, the oppressed and the victimized.
An NZE na Ozo represents the conscience of the society such that when the community is in utter despondency, the people will be asking "olee ihe Ndi NZE na Ozo kwuru".
Nze na ozo society is the pivot of the community. In the ancient days, the Nze na ozo society constituted the House of Lords of every community. That's the meaning of "A hu NZE e bie okwu"!
Ndigbo must go back to pick the shattered pieces of their lives by renacting this agelong sociopolitical institution.
@YouCanCallMeOma I definitely know you will be here and you will kike this one...You have done your birthday and enjoyed ego my brother alone... jisie ike shaa.
The earlier we stop deceiving ourselves, the better for us.
A good man needs a good woman and a good woman needs a good man.
A koromoto man needs a koromoto woman and a koromoto woman needs a koromoto man.
A stingy man needs a stingy woman and a stingy woman needs a stingy man.
A strong hearted man needs a strong hearted woman and a strong hearted woman needs a strong hearted man.
A dirty man needs a dirty woman and a dirty woman needs a dirty man.
If you're good and you marry a bad partner and he or she refused to change, divorce him or her, you ain't a mechanic to fix anybody.
We all know what we are doing.
With this, problem adịgo solved.

@Chekwube_02 A responsible woman won't allow such question to even come up if she truly loves you...If she loves you as she claim... definitely she will do the needful by deleting her with any man.
Ize Iwe Ritual with raw Egg, red oil and salt in Odinani.
PERFORM THIS RITUAL TOMORROW BEING EKE MARKET DAY IN IGBO-LAND.
In Odinani, the ritual of Ize Iwe (appeasement of anger) is an ancestral practice that serves to mend the rift between humans and the spirits they may have inadvertently offended.
The use of a raw egg in this ritual is symbolic and powerful, as it embodies life, purity, new beginnings, and the ability to absorb and neutralize negative energies.
Here we provide a detailed guide on how to perform the Ize Iwe appeasement ritual using an egg, red oil, and salt, to ensure that “spiritual” anger is calmed and their favor is restored.
The Significance of the Egg in Igbo Spirituality
Egg is a potent symbol in Igbo spirituality, as it represents life-force energy, purity, and potential. It is believed that an egg has the unique ability to absorb negative energies and neutralize spiritual anger.
In the Ize Iwe ritual, the egg acts as a medium through which one can communicate with the spirit world, to seek forgiveness and restore harmony.
Preparing for the Ritual.
To perform the Ize Iwe appeasement ritual, you will need the following items:
A native raw egg...red oil and salt.
Alligator pepper for cleansing.
The best time to perform this ritual is at dawn, as the rising sun (Anyanwu Ututu) is a powerful symbol of new beginnings and renewal.
Cleansing with Alligator Pepper: Begin the ritual at the first sight of the morning sunshine. Take a few seeds of alligator pepper, and use them to cleanse your body by gently rubbing the seeds all over yourself. This act of cleansing removes any negative energies that may be attached to you and prepares your spirit for the appeasement ritual.
Connecting with the Spirits: After cleansing, take the raw egg in your hands and rub the whole egg with a mixture of salt and palm oil, then face east. Address the spirits of your ancestors, from both your father’s and mother’s lineage. If you do not know their names, you can invoke them collectively by asking them as a collective e.g Spirits of my father's and mother's land, the spirits who brought me into this world e.t.c. The Igbo saying "Nnu na mmanu adighi ese okwu" (Salt and oil do not argue or quarrel) is an acknowledgment of the harmonious relationship you seek to restore.
Appealing to the Universe: Raise the egg towards the sun, and begin to speak to the universe. Declare your intentions clearly, ask all the spirits you may have offended, knowingly or unknowingly, to forgive you. Request that any negative energies or curses (uchu) that you may have brought upon yourself be removed. Speak with sincerity, and make positive declarations about your life and path.
Breaking the Egg: Once you have finished speaking, cross the egg over your head four times in an anti-clockwise motion. This act symbolizes the undoing of any negative influences or anger directed at you. Then, take the egg outside. Choose a road or path, and break the egg on the ground by throwing it with force. As you break the egg, declare aloud that you are breaking every barrier and calming the anger of the spirits. If the egg does not break, you must repeat the process with a new egg.
Washing Your Hands: After breaking the egg, wash your hands thoroughly preferable with running water to cleanse yourself of any residual negative energies. This act of washing also signifies the completion of the ritual.
Important Considerations
Location: You can perform this ritual in your room if you have an open window that allows sunlight to enter. Afterwards, try to take the egg outside to break it. If that is an impossible feat for you then break it in a clean toilet and throw in some alligator pepper before you flush to ensure it delivers its message.
Frequency: The Ize Iwe ritual can be performed whenever you feel a disconnect or sense that you have offended your spirit guides. Regular practice helps maintain a harmonious relationship with the spiritual world.
A man in Ohafia k!|led his own kinsman. By accident,
So he ran to his father's people. Because That's who you belong to.
But they gave him up. Handed him over to the dead man's family.
So he went to his mother's people instead.
And they hid him.
That, they say, is why Ohafia belongs to its mothers.
Now they tell that story more than one way, and nobody agrees which is true. But what the place is today nobody argues about that.
A man there hardly train his own son. He trains his sister's son. And when he dies, what he owned goes to that same boy, not to his own children.
If a child misbehaves, it's the mother's family that gets called. Not the father's.
You can marry from your father's side. But your mother's side, never.
A woman can own land there. And the Eze’s, the men who rule, are chosen through the mother.
Everywhere else in our land, the first thing they ask you is who your father is. There, they ask about your mother.
Have you heard this before?
What version of the story did you hear?
Any Ohafia here?
@mayorde4you2 Money is never the reason people cheat....A man that load his wife with enough cash always even bought her expensive car...She still cheated with a bus driver..It has nothing to do with money or wealth.
Do you know in the Igbo language, there is a difference between OKENYE AND AGADI?
If you're grounded in Igbo language kindly tell us the difference between Okenye and Agadi.
@TheBigMan2Pees@maxnonso Most people doesn't know that womanizing burns money more than anything because every weekend you're spending even when you don't have to spend you will still borrow.
