In this video I explain the meaning of the Nze title system, often known as ‘Nze na Ozo’. I tell the story of Eri, and his descent from the sky, and the struggle of his son Nri in Igbo mythology. The Nze is a part of a mysterious spiritual religious and social grouping in the Igbo society of Southeast Nigeria, and it’s origins and meanings may shock you.
