Nluonu people are the descendant of Eze Nwana, the first son of Nnofo. No one owned Nluonu as a name , and its imposition upon Eze Nwana resulted simply from an event with which Enem was principally connected. The matter was all like a play in w hich the important actors were the Enems on the one part and the Eze Nwanas on the other

Nigeria, known for its rich cultural diversity, is home to over 200 million people representing more than 250 ethnic groups, each with a unique history and lineage. From the ancient Benin Kingdom to the revered Sokoto Caliphate, Nigeria’s historical landscape is woven with stories of resilience, migration, and unity in diversity. Yet, as modernity and urbanization sweep across the nation, many ancestral stories are at risk of fading into obscurity.

To prevent this, the mission of our platform is clear: to become Nigeria’s largest repository of genealogical records, preserving the legacies of every Nigerian family for future generations.

Genealogy, the study of family history and ancestry, provides a profound sense of identity and connection to one’s roots. In Nigeria, where family lineage and heritage have always been paramount, tracing ancestry connects individuals to their communities, cultures, and shared values.

This connection fosters a sense of pride in one's heritage and provides a deeper understanding of Nigeria's collective history. Genealogy also plays a critical role in resolving personal questions about ancestry, such as understanding cultural practices, inheritance traditions, and even answering questions about ancestral migrations and kinship.
