A young Igbo woman from Onicha Olona, or surrounding settlement, c. 1912-13.

Onicha-Olona, located in present-day Aniocha North, Delta State, Nigeria, is a historic Anioma-Igbo town with origins linked to early migrations from the Igbo heartland across the Niger River.

Oral traditions suggest a shared ancestry with Onitsha, Obior, and Issele-Uku, with influences from both the Igbo and Benin civilizations.

The town has long upheld Igbo cultural traditions, including age-grade systems, masquerade festivals, and chieftaincy titles, with farming and trade as historical economic pillars.
