Most discussions on the Igbo, in fact, practically all discussions on the Igbo mention the Ozo society. Material on the Ozo society is howver limited becuase of in effect restrictions to entry and code of silence observed by members. By my count this afternoon, at least 56 articles on Wikipadia mentioned Nze na Ozo, without a single one explaining what it is. I have actually spent a lot of time working on Nze na Ozo, and the information I have uploaded onto wikipadia is to the best of my knowledge factualy. The only limitation I have is that I have not been able to establish what the individual titles of Ozo mean apart from three (Igwe, Ezeana and Okpala).

Further to my earlier comments, it will seem very strange to consider deleting an entry for Nze na Ozo, while for example retaining an entry for Ekpe. Igbo communities are primarily divided into four major sub-groups. The Northern Igbo (Nsukka area), the central Igbo's of the Awka-Nri axis, the Onitsha-Anioma Igbo (also called Delta Igbo), and the southern Igbo (Aro axis). While the first three have Ozo in different forms, the last (southern Igbo), don't. Instead, thier institutions are formed around societies such as Ekpe.
