Ondo Council Of Obas Condemns Eze Ndigbo Title In S-west by helinues: 10:16am On Nov 27, 2015 |
THE Council of Obas in Ondo State has said that the title of Eze Ndigbo in the South-West is a calculated attempt to embarrass the Yoruba traditional rulers and desecrate their traditional institution. A communiqué issued by the council in Akure after its monthly meeting described the trend as “an affront on the state traditional rulers.” They, therefore, stated that the title should be prohibited in the state and that there should not be any Ndigbo chieftaincy title for leaders of Igbo or other ethic group in the state. It said that the use of titles such as Eze, Igwe, Obi or any other synonym is not acceptable in the state and that the only chieftaincy title that would be recognized is the one bestowed by the traditional ruler in the state on Igbo indigenes such as chairman or president or leader of Igbo indigenes. The Communiqué noted that efforts had been made in the past by several Igbo leaders residing in the state to assume the Eze Ndigbo title but such moves have always been resisted. The Obas declared: “The continued use of Eze Ndigbo chieftaincy title and flaunting of paraphernalia of Ndigbo traditional institution in Ondo State is a calculated attempt to embarrass the Yoruba traditional rulers. “It is also meant to desecrate the Yoruba traditional institution. It is also an affront on Ondo State traditional rulers.” The Obas said that the issue of Eze Ndigbo chieftaincy title in Ondo State, which is the title of traditional rulers in Igbo communities, is alien to Yoruba and tradition. “It is a way of arrogating to the Igbo leaders the traditional power and equating themselves to Yoruba Obas. They said that it is forbidden under the extant Chiefs Law for any person who is not a recognized Oba in Ondo State to wear a crown, costume or any other paraphernalia of an Oba. “It is an infraction of the penal law and indeed the Chiefs Law in Ondo State for any person to parade himself as either a minor chief or recognized chief without the requisite approval of the prescribed authority or the State Executive Council as the case may be,’’ they said. The Council therefore warned that; “Whoever wants to be a traditional ruler among the Igbos or any other ethnic groups should go to his domain for such dispensation.

It's true so that most of these impersonations and scams all in the name of chieftaincy title would stop. Including lots of evils perpetrated with it. |

helinues: IMAGINE SUCH A CONFUSION FROM THE OBA's that the Igbos are free to have CHAIRMAN, PRESIDENT or LEADER but cannot have EZE, IGWE or OBI. Is chairman, president and leader not translated igwe, obi and eze in Igbo? When you get to Kano you will see the EZE NDI IGBO fully dressed in his regalia even when HE visits Emir Sanusi Lamido, likewise in Awka the sarkin hawsa puts on his regalia whhile visiting the Eze-Uzu of Awka. YORUBA TRAVELL OUT AND SEE, LIFE DOES NOT END IN SOUTHWEST. if you know say you chop belleful quote me. |

Well, they can't do anything about it except to ask their people to stop patronizing Igbo business. The Eze ndigbo wasn't appointed by the oba, but by private individuals This won't stop Igbos from taking your lands and your money. If you don't like it, ask Buhari to give them Biafra...idiot noisemakers |
