California welcomed Igwe Kenneth Onyeneke Orizu III the 17th Obi of Otolo and Igwe of Nnewi kingdom, during his global tour. He is the traditional supreme ruler and spiritual leader in Nnewi. He is a member of the Nnofo Royal lineage and the successor to his father Igwe Josiah Orizu II, his grandfather Igwe Orizu I (Eze Ugbonyamba), and great-grandfather Igwe Iwuchukwu Ezeifekaibeyahe.

Igwe Orizu III is the longest serving monarch in Nigeria and he is currently the 17th monarch in the Nnofo Royal lineage, he promotes and improves the quality of life of his people and the residents of Nnewi.
