StOla:
Eze Ndigbo who was also appointing chiefs?

By what authority was he appointing Igbo chiefs in Akure that already has a sovereign called Deji?

When summoned to the palace, asides the way he was dressed before the king, he had the audacity to be talking back at the king, and saying he had somewhere else that he had to be so the king and his council should hasten the meeting.

Akure Youths taught him a lesson of his life.

He went to mobilize his Igbo kin who closed down their own shops and were protesting. The Deji then gave traditional backing to their shop closure and declared them forever closed. They were the ones that begged the king to allow them to re-open their shops.

So I welcome this move by the Deji, and I know that Ohaneze Ndigbo had also condenmed this Eze Ndigbo rubbish by title loving commoners.

SirBrightoc:
Why the noise about an Igbo traditional title in Akure, as if Yorubas don't take traditional titles in other kingdoms.
See below the picture of a Yoruba traditional title holder in Gombe.
The title "Leader" is not traditional to Igboland and come to think of it, what does it tend to address, if not a show of shame on the Deji's side.
Please, observe that this man goes by the title "Sarkin" which is a traditional title for Hausa monarch. Even when there is the real Sarkin Gombe, he doesn't feel threatened by this Sarkin Yorubawa in his own kingdom.

Zedoo:


Why are you dumb?
He was born there,
But where did he live and develop?
Was it not in the west?
He had the right as a Nigerian to contest anywhere he damn wished...but tribalism....

Guyman02:

I dont think you are a true Warri guy, because in the first instance you can't even get across to the Olu without invitation and proper briefing by the Palace chiefs on how to behave.
Apologise for what? He never disrespected the Deji. The issue is that the guy is very rich and built a palace like structure for himself in Akure. Meanwhile, he contributed to the installation of the Deji, so this is simply a matter of inferiority complex.
Igbos can help the Deji to build a befitting palace and buy him a Rolls Royce if he asks for it.
Do you think the Ooni will condescend to the point of making public statements and issuing ultimatums about an obscure Eze Ndigbo or Sarki Hausa in Ife?

Kagawa10:


You are stupid!

Zik lived in the North as well and spoke Hausa fluently than Yoruba. He lived most of his teenage years in the North and Onitsha. He only came to work in Lagos like most of your brethen do. You dumb heads now think he could now usurp our people and rule over us because of this?

No wonder the common saying says if you give an Ibo man inch, he would ask for more!

Why didn't he contest for the Northern premier where he's more fluent and was born is the question that goes begging?

Zedoo:


Where did he establish himself

That was a time when anybody could be anything anywhere in Nigeria.... But your fathers spoilt it with tribalism and tomorrow you will complain that your kids ddnt get admission because they are non-indigenes or job, or even appointment...

See the ripple?

Nobody stopped awolowo from going over to the east to canvass for premier... Nobody stopped him....

The northeners had already started their own tribalism, the west and east were basically free for anybody, then zik tried only for your men ro come out on the basis of tribalism.
I am not saying opposing him was wrong, but that seed of a Yoruba man should be premier of the west is still responsible for EVERYTHING wrong with Nigeria ...

Kagawa10:
Shut your trap.

The normal criteria to contest for presidential post is if you're a fellow citizen of the region which Zik isn't. He was born in the North, why not go there? That 's the question you can't answer!

Funny enough, the same Zik went to displace Eyoita from his elected post in the Eastern region, considering Eyoita is actually from the eastern region (Calabar) unlike Zik who's neither Yoruba, Edo or Urhobo! Foolish self entitled being!

Zedoo:


Went to displace him after he had been tribalistically zoned out. The igbos were the most populous in the eastern region na. Like i said your fathers planted the seed...

I can see you know nothing about citizenship.

1. By birth
2. By naturalization (having stayed there for a certain period and conversant with all the requirements to coexist in the region)
3. Nationalization (in the case of a country, obtaining citizenship card after going thru the necessary steps.


So what are you saying he wasn't eligible?

Accept for once that your tribalist awolowo is the reason why Nigeria is sharply divided along ethnic lines.... Would it harm you?

do you history...
That's my turf...you dont walk up to me with whimsical talks, present hard facts and be schooled...

uckennety:


Refugee ke!!!!

Eyaaa are you educated?

Come does refugee buy lands?

Come no vex does refugee build Houses?

Come does refugee become landlord and rent houses n shops to you?

Ooooo come abeg does refugee not pay tax! See afonja take time!

Go and learn to use words

Not wen you hear/see your elders use words you come here to abuse it

laudate:


What am I seeing here? I thought your people said that it is only Lagos, that they migrate to. So they are now in Akure, Ondo and other parts of the South-west? This is rather interesting.....

chibuzorAbia:


Because 1 out of 5000 do these things? You think Yoruba will not change and turn on you one day, abi? Go and develop the Eas! You hear?

Billyonaire:
I am not Igbo, but I am always pro-Igbo because the people are very enterprising and creative. After the civl war, they were left with nothing but yet they are independent business people who can not be too affected by recession. They mark up their prices to match inflation and recession and they are buying even your back yard. No vex for them, learn from them

laudate:


Vexing for who? The Igbo? Abeg, don't make me laugh, biko. There are so many independent business people doing great things from every single ethnic group in Nigeria, that you do not even know about, who are even making legitimate money despite this recession. Quiet, smooth, humble entrepreneurs. Learn from them...

Billyonaire:
See me see wahala oh. I never see when paupers dey tell billionaires where to learn business from based on their active tribalism oh. Make una helep me tell this man who I be oh. I hate no tribe, I hate no country, am a universal human, advise yourself not me biko.

laudate:


Guy, you mean you are a pauper? Is that the new word you use to describe yourself? What a pity. And for you to start lamenting about active tribalism, it means it is something you have actively engaged in, recently. Now, no one is accusing you of hatred, so why are you lamenting and exposing yourself like this? Or do you have hatred hidden in your heart? Advise yourself, biko.

AshiwajuFoward:
Guy, don't waste your time with that egocentric preek. I wonder who he's trying to impress by denying his igbo background which is already common knowledge on here. He's so full of himself.

Kagawa10:


Which stayed there for long? Someone who couldn't speak Yoruba fluently?

You mean a Nigerian could contest for a UK/USA presidential position without having being born there? Even Usa wouldn't allow for such nonsense!

Just admit it that you lots are bunch of greedy self entitled beings! Give an ibo man an inch, he would ask more!

The funny thing you actually agreed with Zik forcing Eyoita out of his legally elected post because of ibo majority nonsense yet still contesting the fact that Zik was never a Western citizen to begin with.

Anyway, the point is there's not going to be Eze Ndigbo now and in the years to come until our King says so. You can go and die with your greedy self entitled mentality. That's not how we, the Yorubas operate, we always know our place and expect you greedy folks to know yours as well!

laudate:


Are you talking about the same Zik that chased Eyo Ita out of his appointed seat in the East, so that he (i.e. Zik) could take over that same position?

AFTER AWOLOWO HAD TRIBALISTICALLY ZONED HIM OUT WITH THE TALK THAT A WESTERNER SHOULD BE PREMIER OF THE WEST.... IT IS AWOLOWO'S SHORT SIGHTED, ETHNIC BIGOTRY THAT HAS SEEN NIGERIA SHARPLY DIVIDED ALONG ETHNIC LINES. A NIGERIAN IS MEANT TO BE A NIGERIAN FULL STOP.


I didn't even realise that you had replied him citing the Eyo Ita example.

laudate:


Alright, so after Awo had said that to Zik, Zik also wielded the tribalistic bat against Eyo-Ita and chased Eyo-Ita who was already occupying a seat to which he had been elected, out of that seat simply because he (i.e. Zik) wanted to occupy it. He did exactly the same thing Awo did. So why are you getting worked up?

Zedoo:
That's exactly what I am saying...
The issue is WHO STARTED THE TRIBALISTIC APPROACH?
The westerners did.
Nobody said zik was right to chase eyo ita out na

laudate:


Guess what?? 37 of your Eze Nd'Igbo were in attendance in the Oba of Lagos' palace that day when he made that speech, and they clapped for him like excited school kids after he finished, and also eagerly promised to do his bidding!

vanbonattel:
They were clapping for the man that won the prize for the most stewpid comment of the century

laudate:


Ah, they were showing their full enthusiastic support for his comments and assuring him of their support! You know what boot lickers like them are called, not so?

vanbonattel:

They couldn't believe a human could utter such rubbish. So they cheered him on while he used his mouth th Bury himself.

laudate:


Is that what they told you, or is that the deceitful twist you are putting on what transpired during the event? Because if they were cheering him on, it shows how spineless they were. Advise them to take a leaf out of the book of the Urhobo monarchs, who walked out on Okowa their governor recently at a public event in full glare of dignitaries present, over what they perceived as a slight on their personality.

hammerF:
Actually they walked out on Osinbanjo not Okowa.

http://saharareporters.com/2017/01/17/delta-traditional-rulers-walk-out-vice-president-osibanjo-accuse-him-treating-them

Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta state has apologized to Urhobo monarchs for an incident that occurred during Vice President Yemi Osinabajo's visit to the state.

He tendered the apology during the celebration of the 100th birthday anniversary of HRM Ovie Richard Ogbon, the Ohworode of Olomu Kingdom in Ughelli south. The governor said: "I use this occasion to apologise once again to our traditional rulers for what happened during the visit of the vice president to our state, it was most unfortunate that it happened, no matter what, forgive the state and the nation.

“This is a day of joy in Delta state and in our country, Nigeria; I congratulate all of you for this special blessing which can only come from God - for a king who has a lot of burden to carry to live up to a hundred years is very rare to see.

“I believe that every day of your (the celebrant) life, you will continue to press on for the ultimate crown, you must work consistently to ensure that you get the crown of glory on the last day; you are a role model to a lot people, including me." https://www.nigerianbulletin.com/threads/governor-okowa-apologizes-to-delta-monarchs-who-walked-out-on-vp-osinbajo.231374/
