Welcome to Ozikoro
Ozikoro was born out of a passion for preserving the cultural heritage of Africans. Our mission with this website is to explore the often-overlooked aspects of African history and culture, especially to understand the societal structures, spiritual practices, and ways of life of African peoples that existed long before colonial contact. We aspire to make this a platform where h
istory meets anthropology, customs, and philosophies that have influenced modern African life. Our Aim: The primary motivation for this website is to challenge the misconceptions we have learned about African history. Our ancestors were deliberately dehumanised by those who sought to exploit them, and although time has passed, the harm that was done persists. These false narratives continue to shape media, societal culture, politics, and history by reinforcing habits of self-neglect and a lack of true self-awareness. What We Do: At Ozikoro, we create a rich repository of articles, research, and valuable content that celebrate African heritage in all its forms. From the ancient origins of African civilisations and indigenous spiritual traditions to the social norms and political structures of precolonial societies, we strive to cover every aspect that defines what is known today as African identity. We aim to educate, inspire, and spark meaningful conversations, encouraging our readers to reconnect with their heritage, history, and traditions in purposeful ways.
