Forget the cultural nonsense. Where Obi of Onitsha sit those kings cannot even come close. Those kings you mentioned are equally powerful but the Obi of Onitsha is the most powerful king among them because he sits with other regional kings across the country unlike all those kings you mentioned OfoIgbo: 2 Likes |

OfoIgbo:We don't even have to go down history,the Anambra state Traditional Rulers Council law that recognize and grade traditional rulers in the state is there for even the most lazy to look up. Onitsha lie way down the list. This thread is about celebrating the Obi though,if only the boy will learn to curb his outbursts 7 Likes |

Agbogidi,ekene. Traditionally,Eze Nri,Ogalagidi Aguleri are higher than Agbogidi but he is more more influential,powerful and famous politically than them all. And unlike a lot of the Igbos Onicha worship their king and that has helped to elevate the status and position of Onicha as an economic nerve center is an added advantage. 4 Likes 1 Share |

chino11: Obi Onitsha is the chairman of Anambra traditional rulers and so he can go and represent Anambra monarchs in some circles. Eze Ilomuanya of Obingwa in Imo state is the chairman of southeast traditional rulers, so there are places he can sit that the Obi of Onitsha cannot sit. But does that make Eze Ilomuanya superior to Obi Onitsha? Obingwa is an autonomous community that was created about twenty years ago or so. So Onitsha is much older than Obingwa, yet their king represents Igbo monarchs Well, Nri kingship is hundreds of years older than Onitsha kingship, and is by far, more important to Igbo cultural life than Onitsha kingship whose only sphere of cultural influence is Onitsha. 15 Likes |

You don't get it. Presently the Obi of Onitsha is not even the chairman of traditional rulers in Anambra State. So its not about who is the chairman of traditional rulers, it is about who is most influential among all the kings. The point I am making is that the Obi of Onitsha carries with it a lot of weight and influence with it both politically and otherwise. These and many more has placed the Obi of Onitsha as the most influential king in Igboland. Where he stand no other king can thread on it. The doors he opens are powerful doors that all those little kings in Igboland cannot even dare to touch. I consider those kings you mentioned as little kings with exception of Eze Nri. Obi of Onitsha is the most influential king in Igboland. You can choose to accept it or leave it. OfoIgbo: 6 Likes |

Ofcourse Eze Nri is the custodian of culture but as for the most powerful and influential KING in Igboland it is none other than Igwe Nnaemeka Achebe the Obi of Onitsha. You can take that to the Hagues! Yeske2: 2 Likes |

flossy007: You could be right but am not in the country right now, its unfortunate that I missed this year's Ofala festival but information my people in Onitsha sent to me stated that it is ongoing as it continued even today. It is usually a week long event with other groups coming up with different celebrations. 1 Like |
