kalu O.★★★★★ — It is a calm place, i think its the church of the Catholic Archbishop in onitsha
Chidimma O.★★★★★ — It is a place I go to worship. I always find peace a quiet there. It is also a great significance to me as it is the first that the Catholic missionaries steppes foot in.
Ebuka★★★★★ — The Igwe Ezeokpoko I Palace is a landmark in Oba, Anambra State, which served as the official seat for the late Igwe Peter Chukwuma (P.C.) Ezenwa, the first traditional ruler of the town.
The palace grounds house the Eze Okpoko 1 Mausoleum, a memorial dedicated to the late monarch's legacy.
Chibuike O.★★★★★ — Nice ambience.
Spacious with relics
fortune ng.★★★★★ — The Obi's palace is one of the best I have I've visited in Nigeria.
The fact that nature was well considered while building the structure is amazing, the palace boasts of a very green environment. Compared to other highly placed monarch I didn't see any tout around the palace taxing visitors constituting nuisance.
CitizenLife TV★★★★★ — We were at the palace to pay the Obi of Onitsha courtesy visit. One of the best monarch in Nigeria, Very intelligent and Educated. Live long king
Mildred O.★★★★★ — It will amaze you to see the wonders of nature when you get here but get ready to settle the community boys at the entrance before being granted access. Your pay determines if you’d be given a tour guide or not. More could be done to make this tourist site attract more tourist if it is well developed by the state government. It also has a place where warm and cold river meet.
Chidera A.★★★★★ — What can I say to convince you to go here? It was a magical experience and I highly recommend it.If you love nature, fun and creepy then this beauty is for you.
At the entrance we paid two thousand each to access the cave joined by a tour guide who kept on telling us the history about the caves. We had to remove our shoes at the point of entry as the cave is deemed sacred.
The inside is very dark, we made use of our phone torchlight in other to see and crawl through the pathways in the caves which comprises of bats, water and muds. The bats are somewhat friendly and scary 😁😁.
We came out through an exit hole and accessed the water coming from the caves and a nearby waterfall.
The maintenance could be improved
The gods should stop eating our money 😂
Road network to the place could be improved
The tour guides could be nicer😏
Going in a smaller group is the best
Nb: there's a healing water for you there 😚
OLUKIRAN J.★★★★★ — Just as Seaman roundabout. It's the four road intersection connecting Awka road in onitsha, Enugu expressway, old road and head bridge. The mausoleum is an edifice that good for the sight

Okechukwu O.★★★★★ — Another glorious Onitsha festival is here at Imeobi life. This is a home for arts and culture, well crafted and beautified with works of nature, green vegetation and you need to remember yesterday today and think of tomorrow.

The place may add a museum or has added following the artistic designs and arts displayed (exhibited) to tell our story, African stories. Come and see things and respect our yesterday today.
