Ezaa or Ezza is a northeastern Igbo sub-group, in Ebonyi State, southeastern Nigeria. [2] [3] The Ezaa are direct descendants of Anakiwha, the progenitor of Umuekumeyi which comprises Nnoyo, Nnodo and Ezekuna respectively. Ezekuna and his wife, Anyigo are known as the parents of Ezza. They are therefore, often referred to as Ezaa Ezekuna. [4] The group is found at the north of Afikpo. [2]
