Who We Are

"Enyi Ada Eje Na Mkpa"

Every titled Ozo man in Onitsha is a member of Agbalanze Onitsha Cultural Association (The Parent Body). We are a diaspora association, whose membership is open to any Onitsha indigene domiciled within the branch, who is an Ozo titled man in good standing with the parent body.

Membership in our association is contingent upon continued membership in the parent body. Any member who ceases to be a member of the parent body shall automatically cease to be a member of our association.
