Ebuka ★★★★★ : The Nnewi Royal Palace is the traditional residence and administrative seat of His Royal Highness, Igwe Dr. Kenneth Onyeneke Orizu III, the 20th monarch of the Nnewi Kingdom. As of February 2026, the palace remains a central cultural landmark and recently served as the focal point for the monarch's historic double celebration: his 100th birthday and 62nd year on the throne in December 2025.
nwa A. ★★★★★ : There should be better parking arrangements. Eg have a field or space dedicated to parking. It was so chaotic during the Ofala. By now they should know better. In a brightee note, happy 100th birthday to our dear King and uncle, Igwe Orizu 👑

Afamefune ★★★★★ : The Igbo-Ukwu Museum is a remarkable window into the deep history of the Igbo people. Walking through the exhibits, I was amazed by the ancient artifacts, intricate bronze works, and cultural treasures that tell the story of a sophisticated civilization dating back centuries. Every piece reflects the creativity, skill, and rich heritage of the Igbo, and it’s humbling to see how much of this history has been preserved. Visiting the museum felt like stepping into the past while gaining a deeper understanding of Igbo identity and its relevance today. It’s truly a must visit for anyone who wants to appreciate Nigeria’s cultural legacy.
Chinedu O. ★★★★★ : A land filled with hardworking individuals and families. It is a vibrant place with developing infrastructure and welcoming people. Love the motherland.

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

Ebuka ★★★★★ : Located at the entrance of the Igwe Orizu Palace in Otolo, Nnewi, the Nnewi Museum is a historical and arts institution dedicated to the preservation of Nnewi and Igbo cultural heritage. Historical Artifacts: The collection includes items dating as far back as the 1400s, ranging from pre-colonial tools to royal regalia and historical documents related to the Nnofo royal dynasty.
Goodnews C. ★★★★★ : The Nnewi Museum is located by the right in front of Nnewi palace, Nnewi, Anambra State. The museum has a notable collection of indigenous art, including some pieces of statuary, carvings, and artifacts including masks, textiles, drums, dane guns and wooden figures, pots, costumes, amongst others. It has pictures of Notable pre colonial, colonial and recent leaders of the community. There are available curators to tour you round the museum. It has a serene environment with courteous staff. The Director of the museum; Chukwumaife C.F Okeke-Enyobi is doing well to make the museum of world class standard. I strongly recommend the museum for Lovers of culture and history as well as young people for excursions too.

Nnaedozie U. ★★★★★ : Honestly, this is supposed to serve as a tourist center This encompasses little knowledge of the ancient city of Onitsha and the pre-colonial era, together with the civil war era But, poor management will make this place phase out The day I went, there was no light, the standby generator wasn't working, no tour guide, it was just the waiter and manager that could do nothing or less to help out Had high Hopes, only got to drink palm wine and leave later Something can be done about this place to make it more lively and accommodating
