Onyishi is a gerontocracy type of government practise in some parts of Igboland.It is also a common term or name normally taken as surname or title by person/persons whose father is the most eldest in a village or one who is the most eldest in Nsukka or its villages.Nkalagu in Ebonyi state Nigeria also observe such title for the most eldest man per village too. * In otherwords, Onyishi simply means the oldest,head or leader be it man or woman.In normal Nsukka settings,once an adult be it man or woman becomes the oldest in his or her village, he/she picks up the title Onyishi. * For one to be Onyishi in a village, the person be the most eldest in that village.The title "Onyishi" is also used as a surname by the family members of the onyishi but are not permitted if the Onyishi is woman. An example of the title's usage as a surname is Chief Samuel Maduka Onyishi. * If a woman becomes the eldest in her village,she will be regarded as "Onyishi umuwunye" (the oldest of all our daughters).

In Nsukka or Nru Nsukka precisely, you can get an aruah that is over hundreds of years though not yet recorded due to the late arrival of the needed technologies in Nsukka. Thus, making the family name onyishi very common to the Nsukka people. * According to one Mr.Atugwu Kenechukwu from Nru Nsukka he said that every Onyishi in Nsukka has a mode of dressing which is normally a red cap with a red feather (called "awu") from a special bird, fixed on it, a short stick gotten from a known tree called Oho, and a hand bag.
