Can never understand why yorubas feel extremely insecure (almost to the point of wetting their pants) when issues concerning Igbos arise?
Is this not the so-called unity in diversity. You got to accept the other tribes and their ways of life (so long as that way of life obeys the Nigerian Constitution) or you should call for a split if you are truly honest about rejecting them. Its not a favour and it's not to be begged for.
In all the cities in the worls there always an Eze Ndigbo. But it's only in Yoruba land that people shiver, pee and poo upon hearing it.
in igbo land, there are Serikis all over the cities and nobody cares despite the fact that occasional tribal clashes between Igbos and Hausa's which also happens nationwide.
There are also Serikis in Yoruba land
Tomorrow, out of arrogance, someone will start telling us that they are very accommodatingb, simply because Lagos was made the nation's capital without our consents and was therefore developed with everyone's money. The attendant result is ripple effect that also spread to neighbouring Yoruba lands. It has nothing to do with being nice or tolerant because any other part of Nigeria that was made the capital will still have the semblance of what u see now in the West including even the North East.
Some will raise the nauseating poo that people easily buy land in the West. That's the most asinine argument anyone has ever heard. How does selling land as business to make a living show that you love the buyer? Why not give out for free? Where will u not buy land in any part of this world if u have your money and can afford it?

Why are the ibos the only one that always have issues with their host wherever they go? There are other tribes in Ibadan also but one wouldnt hear nonsense such as this from them. Why must it always be the ibos? Why must you fight over Kingship title in another mans Kingdom?


There is a large Lebanese and Syrian community in Ibadan. There are Hausas, Calabars, Ijaws, Idomas, Tivs, Ogonis and all other ethnic group working and residing in Ibadan, but they all respect the custom of their host onlike the ibos who would always want to upset others

dignity33:
Why is Yoruba people like to bite the finger that feed them, the igbo people has made the SW what they are in Nigeria today, and again what issue those Yoruba have concerning Ezendigbo because every known citizen of Nigeria knows that Ezendigbo is just a ceremonial that help to preserve igbo culture any where they are in the World. Eze ndigbo is any where you find igbo people in Nigeria and Diaspora so why is yoruba become different in any thing that concern igbo people . First Awolowo after the war give every igbo person 20 pounce to survive, Oba of lagos treating igbo people on Election and now the issue of Ezendigbo that is every where in the World.

Shymm3x:


Eff a federal republic. There's a reason why there are customary laws and the provincial agreements that created the entity called "Nigeria" were signed by traditional rulers.

If you want a king - go install one in ya village. Yorubaland is Yorubaland and Igboland is Igboland.

director1900:
there is smething u ibos dnt understand,in ur land yoruba or hausa man has never became a chairman in ur market bt whn u go to alaba in lagos who is their chairman or ladipo or GSM villige,u dmt sell land to other tribes yet u wnt to claim right on sme1 land is dat popssible?

Shegebanti007:


No is your parents fault that made you useless, because if you were not useless, you will comment with good sense of human. look at you, if igbo people have good upbringing will they have problem with other tribe in Nigeria. Don't worry, we will teach you morons manners on this Nairaland. Oponu oloshi.

There cannot be two Kings in a particular Kingdom.


The ibos are fighting for biafra. They want to break away from Nigeria yet they still want to install kings in other parts of Nigeria.


The ibos unlike all other tribes had no Kings prior to the coming of the British colonialist. It was the colonialist that appointed warrant chiefs for the ibos, hence they still do not have a full cultural grasp of what royalty and Kingship is all about.


The ibos are the only one that always have issues with their host. First it was with the Oba of Lagos, later it was with the Deji of Akure and now it is with the Olubadan.


Read the comment below me and imagine the affront, imagine the audacity, imagine the justification of imposing your own culture in domains that are not your just because of the excuse that your people reside there. This was one of the factors that precipitated the pogrom against the ibos in the North and subseqtently the civil war that led to the slaughter of thousands of ibos. Unfortunately, the ibos havent learnt from the mistake of their fathers.

I dont why we made issues out of nothing the eze ndigbo of a thing is just ceremonial title, the title bearer is still subject to the laws and customs of the host community.
So no need to blow the whole thing out of proportion.

Would you allow one Kabiesi or Emir in Onitsha?

mbjsuki:

It's sad and very unfortunate. Everywhere this set of people are,they always create issues. In my best of opinion, I can never admit or grant an ibo man a rent in my house. Can a stool of an Oba or baale be created in Owerri,Aba or Enugu? Don't preach what you can not accept,please. Ibo man and title another case study!

Imagine. Can a Yoruba or Hausa hold a traditional office in Igboland?

Honestly it beats me,Why for God's sake can't they just respect another man's land.They are a great problem not just to Nigeria but even beyond.

If there's an oba in abuja, he speaks for himself. But beyond that my last paragraph still applies; if his actions whether cultural or not, is not in sync or causes discomfort to the hosts, its behoves on him to change and modify his actions to suit his host; and not just tell them its his culture and they should get along. That's foolhardy.

Prominent Igbo not making controversial statements is your opinion and can easily be put down. Prominent Igbo have called Lagos no man's land. Their eze have a 'palace'. In akure the eze wore his crown into the Deji of Akure's palace ( conflicting seriously with the ruling culture there). If those are not examples of controversial statements and intents, I don't know what is...

HaneefahRN:


Don't be an hypocrite, how can an Igbo come to yoruba land and ask to be a king? If he wants to be a king, he has to go back to his father's land. U guys talk as if pple are treating u bad while u're d ones tht spread ur tentacles wide most in Nigeria and yorubas readily welcome u bt we wnt take such insults.

Go to Biafra

Kgdavid:


This is the problem with Nigerians who do not read. The Olubadan's comments address the fact that he feels that the particular person currently bearing the title Eze Ndigbo is not meant to do so, not that there should be no Eze Ndigbo in Oyo state.

chimaobikanu:
Smh in disgust! Please, please, and please... If you dont understand the title "Eze ndi-Igbo" in diaspora, please ask questions before you come on to a public forum like to display your high level of ignorance. Eze ndi Igbo in diaspora is just a representative of the Igbo's in a forgien land. He has no palace nor office like your Oba's and Emires, he's just the head of the Igbo association in his domain and is subjected to the law of the land. Please most of you guys should get your facts right before jumping to conclusion. Well, common sense they say is not common.
