Behold High Chief Ojiabu Onyeachonam : A Pillar of Onitsha Greatness

Clad in the majestic ndi ichie regalia of the early 1960s, High Chief Onyeachonam was more than just a chief, he was a custodian of tradition, a master of protocol, and a guardian of Onitsha’s dignity.

As a prominent member of the Ndichie Okwa, the senior-ranking council of red cap chiefs, he played a vital role in managing the corporate and political affairs of the Onitsha kingdom. These elders weren’t just figureheads; they were kingmakers, advisers, and keepers of communal harmony.

Through their wisdom, the Obi of Onitsha ruled with cultural depth and ancestral guidance.

Onitsha, a city with roots tracing back to migrations across the River Niger centuries ago, stands tall today because of noble figures like High Chief Onyeachonam who upheld its sacred traditions and helped shape its modern identity.

To be ndị Igbo is to come from a lineage of wisdom, resilience, and regal splendor. Let this image remind us: our history is not just rich, it is royal.
