Ondo state is the one with rocks and forest all over if I remember well, so if I come to Ondo and I want to start breaking these rocks into gravel whicb I would pay for to the govt, if after I start and I measure it and pay royalty to the state so if my company doesnt know that there is a reverred stone in ondo dat nobody should touch and I dont know that and I touch it, instead of u people to have warned me before now because am an igbo man even my workers that are yorubas wont gimme a tip off saying "Oga dat stone na sacred one no touch am o" they would allow me touch it so that there village head would gimme a friendly invitation to his palace only to tell some youths to hide at his backyard with cane when I to respect the oba, someone I cud just shun if the worst happen I enter the nearest bus back to the east, but I respected his throne by honouring his invitation greeted him bowed to him only for the moment am about to raise my face some youths pounce on me and start flogging me....Its not so o.

Ur mentioning your fellow tribalist I can help call em out more

Firefire:
I don't support this call outrightly but...

“It is globally accepted that there cannot be two kings in the same domain as there cannot be two captains in the same boat.”


However, this calls is against the spirit of National Unity and Oneness, BUT our Igbo brothers and sisters should tread softly and let understand our limitation when on foreign land until the law is amended.

Agba ki wa lo ja, ki ori omo tuntun wo oooo.

I am proudly Nigerian and not advocating for any tribe / race.

Yoruba should stop diverting attention. A yoruba general has just been sentenced to death, Fualnis have captured the entire yorubaland. These are the real issues. Yorubas should man up and confront their masters and not picking side battles. Anyway, the news is a welcome development for some reasons.

Which one does the Fulani herdsmen belong to? Are they Igbos too?

Keep turning the truth on its head.

Thank God... am happy with the development, yorubas shud also start treating igbos with hostility.
They are set of people who learn by hard experience, back then when we were in school, we and d ppl in our clique asked each other where we would base of all of them I was the only one that choose igbo land, they thought they were wise, I pray dz continues so much that for any igbo man to buy even half plot of land outside igbo land would be war.
why to the yorubas that sent for a man who respected and honoured there Obas call and went to see him, if in yoruba land another king cant come into there palace with a crown, all they wud do before they usher him into the palace is tell him to remove it, they allowed him in planned youths to lurk around with canes because they knew what they wanted to do and looked for the flimsiest excuse or mis yarn to insult him and belittle him. I am happy this is happening because I keep count in it ti score my points. But yorubas we igbos wud be merciful when ur time comes I promise u, that mantle u hold thats making u insult others would be taken away from u one day.

if in london u dont wear crown before the queen u won't be allowed to come in and u wud be asked to remove it or leave, u people allowed him pass the Obas gate security guards didnt tell him, he passed doors, greeted people nobody told him, was ushered to the palace while he waited for the Oba nobody told him, then when the oba came they used it as an excuse to carry out there plans, and to proove my assertions true the day it happened was not a weekend neither was a festival going on, how did youths appear suddenly with kane, youths up to that number for that matter, u guys shud just tell the world the truth u yorubas and your oba had him in mind that; that day was his day. fullstop.

Need I remind you of Ore? Need I remind you of Black Scorp? Alabi Isama? Alani Akinrinade to mention a few.

Don't be dnmb, Kwara is a conglomerate - Nupe, Bariba, Fulani and Yoruba. Kwara is already demarcated due to settlements along ethnic lines. So, from Ilorin South: Ganmo to Offa is Oduduwa's and we have no reason to worry.

Don't bother about the Fulani, Olodumare will take care of them.

liberty300:
yea, the Hausas rape, kidnap murder and pillage through your towns but no..focus on the Igbo man that caused you harm by his dressing to an event.. Clap for yourself, you get sense

Gamesmart:


So it appears you are saying Yorubas should pick on someone their own size and not turn to bully minnows?

gbosaa:


In what way are the Igbos disrespectful??

Would you dare go to a cattle market to mess with their leadership? Would you appoint a babaloja over a miyetti Allah chief??

Would an oba dare summon a miyetti Allah chief to his palace, close his ranch/market at his whims even though those places are full of shanks, dirts and stink to high heaven?

I don't support the proliferation of Eze ndi Igbos but I think the Yorubas should stay clear of this. Any group of people should come together and appoint someone to represent them. Eze ndi Igbos are tasked with affairs related to Igbos and they are not in competition with obas or Yoruba chiefs.

The man who was allegedly crowned at the dejis palace should not have been crowned there. What nonsense was that? i don't support Ezes outside of Igbo land, that's my opinion but if he must be crowned, it mustn't be in any obas, deji or whatever name they are called palaces. That in itself is sacrilege.

superstar1:
I am waiting for those jokers of Ohaneze to issue their usual lame ultimatum of going to ICC.

They do not have an iota of resoecr for others.

To them, yorubas are dirty and Aba and Onitsha are like the way they are. There is no place in the whole of yorubaland that is like those despicable cesspit of Aba and Onitsha.

To them, every other person is lazy because they are not into following their crime infested lives. At best they are involved in a no brainer of sabotaging our economy by dealing in only importation of fake products.

Bunch of clowns.

FreeGlobe:

no, it means yorubas should face the people who are attacking and humiliating them in their own soil. Igbos are not ready for them yet..

IdisuleOurOwn:



The Sarkin hausawa(s) and Sarkin fulani(s) never and will never disrespect their hosts.

It is the y1bos that disrespect their hosts.

Rayhut:
Freedom of association is allowed in Nigerian constitution, Igbos are free to have Eze Ndi Igbo in their state of abode, if they have a community of Igbos that come together and decide that a particular person will be their leader, there is nothing wrong in it, but the said Ezeh should not interfere in the affairs of the king of the native of that town or parade himself as King because it is just an appointed post by his people and not a real king. About recognition, the governor and Obas should not recognize them as king, they should recognize them as a representer of his own people. Group of people speaking the same language and living outside their domain suppose to have a leader to protect their interest, that is why they have Sarakin Fulani, Hausa in Lagos.

So when a Yoruba oba visits an igbo king in imo state, should be remove his clothes n crown n wear mufty just because he's in igbo land

DeLaRue:
I went to Benin city earlier this year, and I was in no doubt I was in a 'foreign land' and conducted myself carefully knowing I was far from 'home'.

Even when l'm in Abuja I feel the same. I feel and know I'm a stranger there. It would be no different from being in Accra or Lome. This feeling did not stop me from doing my business and being friendly with people in Benin or Abuja, but inside me & irrespective of what the Constitution says, I exercised caution in these places at all times. I saw myself as an immigrant in both cities.


I am surprised Igbos seem chocked when they are told they are foreigners in Yorubaland. You are.

Mee234:

And the fulanis not only drag farmland with you but also kill and kidnap you elders for ransom. I will a disrespectful fellow who brings business and investment to my place to a respectful fellow who is a killer

You don't understand and will never understand what am saying till the evil deeds of the Fulani herdsmen will visit you..

Rubbish!

DeLaRue:
Igbos just seem to be a very difficult lot. They will not try to understand the feelings of others.

In Yoruba tradition, the control of markets was central to a King's authority and even with modernisation, democracy, Constitutions etc, markets remain a key bastion of a King's authority. Even civilian governments try & carry the King along when it comes to market matters.

This social contract / understanding between the locals & their traditional rulers dates back centuries, hence why you'll never see a Yoruba man/woman challenge a King over a market.

But now,this arrangement which has served to preserve social order in Yoruba land for centuries is being put in jeopardy because Igbos say it doesn't suit them! They want to control these markets becos of something called democracy or modernisation. This is very insensitive. Why can't Igbos consider other people's feelings?

I can authoritatively tell you that Igbirra constitute about 10 per cent of the voting population of Ondo State, but you'll never see them behave like this.

I think it's unfortunate the man was manhandled, but that's the danger when you push people to the wall.

It's as if the Igbos have an agenda to forment inter tribal chaos. As a stranger in a land, yes, you can challenge some things, but challenging a people's tradition in this way is peculiar to Igbos and ill advised.

I dont want Biafra but if my plans ever come to past u yorubas would wish they gave Igbos Biafra when they had the chance.
if igbos were to hv Biafra there would be no fun in it anymore.
