Eze (pronounced [ézè]) is an Igbo word which means King. Such words as Igwe and Obi, plus others, are used by Igbo people as titles of respect and homage to the Eze. Igwe is derived from the Igbo word Igwekala or Eluigwekala, "the sky or heaven above the sky is higher or bigger than land", implying that the Eze is a higher servant of the people. Obi usually refers to the centre building for receiving visitors within an Igbo leader's or man's homestead. When used as a title of respect for the Eze, Obi implies: "the one who sits in the throne house or heart of the Kingdom."

Igwe se deriva de la palabra igbo igwekala o eluigwekala, «el cielo sobre el cielo es más alto [o más grande] que la tierra», lo que sugiere que el Eze es superior al pueblo llano.

Cuando se usa como título de respeto, obi significa: «el que se sienta en la casa del trono o en el corazón del Reino». La mujer de un Eze es llamada Lólọ ('reina'). En la tradición y la cultura igbo, el Eze es normalmente un monarca absoluto asesorado por un consejo de jefes o ancianos a quienes nombra en función de su buena reputación dentro de la comunidad. Un dicho popular en igbo es Igbo enwe eze, que se traduce como «los igbo no tienen rey». Sin embargo, este dicho popular no captura la complejidad de las sociedades igbo, las cuales han sido investigadas desde un punto de vista antropológico, sociológico y político. En muchos sentidos, es un comentario sobre un desprecio cultural por la autoridad y la nacionalidad como se vio en la preparación y las secuelas de la Guerra Civil de Biafra. El pueblo igbo tenía y sigue teniendo órganos de gobierno de líderes reales y políticos en los que un individuo puede ser reconocido por toda la sociedad como primus inter pares, es decir, el primero entre iguales. Este estado suele ser hereditario entre el linaje masculino, ya que la cultura igbo es patrilineal. Se sabía que las mujeres en las culturas igbo desarrollaban jerarquías sociales paralelas a través de las cuales competían y colaboraban con su realeza masculina contraparte y las jerarquías gobernantes. Sin embargo, había una mujer Eze en la Nigeria colonial, .​ (es)
  • Eze (pronounced [ézè]) is an Igbo word which means King. Such words as Igwe and Obi, plus others, are used by Igbo people as titles of respect and homage to the Eze.

When used as a title of respect for the Eze, Obi implies: "the one who sits in the throne house or heart of the Kingdom." In Igbo tradition and culture, the Eze is normally an absolute monarch advised by a council of chiefs or elders whom he appoints based on their good standing within the community. A popular saying in Igbo is "Igbo enwe eze", which translates to "the Igbo have no king." This popular saying does not, however, capture the complexity of Igbo societies as it has been explored in many centuries of anthropological, sociological and political research. In many ways, it is a comment on a cultural disregard for authority and nationhood as seen in the build-up and aftermath of the Biafran Civil War. The Igbo people had and still have ruling bodies of royal and political leaders in which an individual can be recognized by the entire society as primus inter pares, i.e., first among equals. This status is usually hereditary among the male lineage, since Igbo culture is patrilineal. Women in Igbo cultures were known to develop parallel social hierarchies through which they both competed and collaborated with their counterpart male kingship and governing hierarchies. However, there was one woman Eze in colonial Nigeria, Ahebi Ugbabe. [1] (en)
