Ohaozara People are the people of Ugwulangwu, Uburu, Oshiri, Okposi, Onicha and Isu. Ohaozara People are a subgroup of the Igbo people, who speak Ohaozara dialects of Igbo language. Each of the six towns represents a unique identity and lineage, yet together they share one heritage and lifestyle.
From the heart of Ebonyi State in Igboland to the cities of Nigeria, and across the diaspora in Europe, America, Asia, and Africa, Ohaozara people remain united by a shared identity, strong community spirit, and an unbreakable bond with home. Our story did not end with our ancestors — it continues in every generation that carries the name with pride. The achievements of Ndi Ohaozara, the projects that uplift our land, and the connections that keep the flame of unity burning around the world.
Diaspora associations such as the Ohaozara People’s Union and Ohaozara Welfare Association play vital roles in preserving identity and supporting development back home.
They organize cultural events, scholarship programs, and humanitarian projects — building bridges between Ohaozara communities across continents.
These global networks ensure that every Ohaozara person, no matter where they live, remains connected to their roots.
The diaspora also serves as ambassadors of Igbo excellence — contributing to arts, education, business, sports and governance while representing Ohaozara’s values of hard work, unity, and integrity.
Through the internet and social platforms, Ohaozara sons and daughters now share stories, memories, and traditions digitally — continuing the same oral heritage our ancestors began, with every story, photograph, and memory strengthens the bond between generations. Every sons and daughters of Ohaozara can contribute by submitting articles, family stories, and oral histories. Ndi Ohaozara is urged to join Ohaozara unions at home or anywhere in Nigeria or in diaspora. Together, we can preserve our heritage, build stronger communities, and ensure that the story of Ohaozara continues to inspire the world.
In every town of/in Ohaozara — Oshiri-Ugoeze, Uburu-Adunsiegbe, Isu-Okoma, Ugwulangwu-Ezeokechima, Okposi-Ezinasato, and Onicha-Igboeze — there are ongoing efforts to improve education, healthcare, agriculture, and community infrastructure.
Education: Community schools, scholarship schemes, and mentorship initiatives continue to empower young people to reach their potential. Many Ohaozara sons and daughters who studied abroad return to invest their skills back home.
Healthcare: Local health centers, mission hospitals, and diaspora-funded medical outreaches provide essential services and improve quality of life.
Agriculture: Farming remains the backbone of Ohaozara’s economy — yam, cassava, rice, and vegetables sustain families and feed neighbouring communities. Cooperative societies and NGOs now promote sustainable farming and agribusiness among youth.
Civic Growth: Town unions, local NGOs, and cultural organizations partner to build boreholes, maintain roads, and support widows and orphans.
These projects show one truth — that progress is most meaningful when it uplifts the community.
From the early migrations of the 1700s to modern-day achievements across the world, Ohaozara people have preserved a shared lineage of courage, wisdom, and communal spirit. Across the six towns, young innovators are shaping change — developing local startups, driving agricultural modernization, and leading creative industries that spotlight Ohaozara on a global stage.
They are musicians, engineers, developers, designers, and social changemakers — proud of their roots and ready to redefine the future.
Through youth-led projects, digital skills training, and cultural revival programs, Ohaozara is experiencing a renaissance — proving that tradition and innovation can thrive together. The youth are the heartbeat of modern Ohaozara.
They carry the legacy of their forebears while leading new movements in technology, education, arts, and entrepreneurship.
Across time, Ohaozara has produced distinguished sons and daughters who have excelled in education, politics, medicine, arts, religion, entrepreneurship, and community service. Their achievements continue to reflect the pride and values of their ancestral home.
From traditional rulers and missionaries to scholars, inventors, and global leaders, these personalities represent the spirit of progress and the belief that Ohaozara excellence knows no boundary. This archive honours their contributions — reminding us that greatness is born from heritage.
The Ohaozara People website is a bridge between past, present and future which honors the ancestors who built this land, celebrates those shaping it today, and inspires the generations yet to come.
Through our stories, dialects, and customs, Ohaozara continues to stand tall — a land of six towns, one people, and one unbreakable heritage.
The Ohaozara community — at home and abroad — stands as proof that distance can never erase identity. Together, we can preserve our heritage, build stronger communities, and ensure that the story of Ohaozara continues to inspire the world.
We are one people connected by the same roots, guided by the same values, and committed to the same vision: to honour our past and build a future worthy of our ancestors. No matter where life takes us, we remain Ohaozara — one heart, one heritage, one destiny.
