There's a lot of igbo culture being promoted in the Igbo-British community. Have a look at their channel, they are trying to keep the language alive.

You guys need to stop fixating on religion. It is starting to look like an obsession and it explains why groups like boko haram can easily spring up from you people. What was the religion of your ancestors in 1530 A.C ?
There are much better things to discuss than religion: science, history, politics, economy, engineering, litterature...

Isokowadoo:
Sultan is an idol worshiping monarch.

Same as Oba of Benin

Difference is that one is Presiding over the poorest Enclave in Zo* republic while the other is An influential Monarch whose abode is free for all to live in

God bless the Oba of Benin, it was high time.
The quasi-absence of the Oba of Benin in diplomatic trips (outside of Benin Kingdom) allowed some imposters to pretend to be him.
I won't give their names but they will know who they are.

I think you might be confusing game of thrones with reality.
There was no bending of knee involved in the visit.
Just two Kings in a diplomatic visit.
The Sultan of Sokoto had already visited the Oba of Benin at least twice.

This young Oba should know that his father got respect from other monarchs and the world, by staying in the ancient city of Benin almost throughout his life time.

he's not Yoruba. don't make a fool of yourself. a lot of your people here criticised the ooni even though Yorubas didn't complain about his traveling. he's one of such people.

One alake woke up one day and decided to make a "ranking of obas" which consists of him just saying: "this guy is number one, this other guy is number two, this guy is number three and I am number four". And somehow that has become your bible ?
How old are you ? The title Oba comes from a longer title: "Omo n'Oba n'Edo".
Now go figure who is copying who ?
Also did your ooni or alafin fight against the british ?
The real Oba did !
Guess what his name was and what kingdom he ruled.

I was only guessing, not all my guesses can be spot on, as any human I can make mistakes while guessing rather than reasoning.
Look, the Oba has made only 2 visits outside of his kingdom, and that is after one year of his rule.
And really, I don't think you know the origin of the people who were unhappy with your ooni's more than frequent presence at parties, trips abroad, any sort of event whatsoever. The only thing I didn't like your ooni for was his misrepresentation of himself:
He is calling himself an emperor: when exactly did ife ever have an empire ?

he's not Yoruba. don't make a fool of yourself. a lot of your people here criticised the ooni even though Yorubas didn't complain about his traveling. he's one of such people.

ur so called ooni is not bigger than amayambo of okrika neither is he bigger than Igwe of my small village but he might be god in the south west but if he come down to east or Ss he must show respect,did he see any tribal marks on ur cheeks? So his power end with people with tiger craw face

yoruba story telling is really confusing the masses.
There is only one Oba and that is Omo n'Oba n'Edo.
I hate the fact that history keeps taking a beating in nigeria.
I have never seen a more confused people anywhere else.

PLS you all should stop saying what you dont know. it is better to learn daily than to prove you are an author of knowledge. I am repeating it again Its not a new thing. His fore fathers did same before him. Even Oba Akenzua II went as far as the UK to visit the Queen. so its a visit of appreciation for honoring his invitation to his coronation. Buhari, Osinbajo, the Sultan of Sokoto amongst others has also paid homage to him in his palace more than once. so its normal for him to say thanks and build on existing relationship...

Thank you for educating all these illiterate bro.

A copycat Oba trying to immitate the one in South west. Next time he go go visit primary school principal 4 UK coz a university invited his MENTOR. Na real wa for una. Yes, Quote me dumbies.

The king himself is the tradition of the pple. however he choses to rule automatically becomes the tradition. Thats why they say, Traditional rulers are the custodians of the pple's culture. they're d culture, so they change it n remake it to suit modernization. But I hope he also visits our urhobo monarchs or show them some honour eg HRM Oharisi 111(jp) ovie of ughelli, HRM Orhue 1, Orodje of Okpe n others. Today is my father's 66th posthumous birthday, HRM Onajite Igere Adjara 111 (JP)Ovie Of Ogor kingdom, Delta State. he was the oldest on throne and the chairman of Urhobo Traditional Rulers Council and also the chairman of Traditional Rulers Of Oil Mineral Producing Communities Of Nigeria (TROMPCON) he was also the first graduate to be crowned a monarch in (1986)after studying English and Linguistics from O.A.U ile-ife making him the first monarch graduate in Urhobo land and given staff of office by Ibrahim Babagida. he celebrated his 25th coronation anniversary which was graced by prominent monarchs n leaders across the country n diaspora. he joined his ancestors in 2014 may 9. although my eldest brother has been coronated king I always love and miss my father especially when I see his colleagues in news or when I see him in newspapers. Nairalanders show some love to HRM Onajite Igere Adjara 111 (JP). he's all I think of today!

Like i earlier predicted during HRM visit to Abuja where he met President and VP, i said his next stop would be Sokoto. Now his next visit would likely be at Kano to see the Emir there. He might see the Etsu Nupe who has visited him twice already since coronation. Probably after that he would be heading southwards to either Ile ife or Oyo and i expect the wailers to wail heavily during this period. He would visit Eko, Oba Jagabani has always been around. After that of the south west, i think the Obi of Onitsha woukd be next before he comes to the south south. Delta state is like his former abode so he has lots of monarchs to visit there but he will pick a few......

Trust me He would visit them. Either the Ovie of Ughelli or the Orodje of Okpe. It is likely he would visit both because if he stops at warri to see the Olu, he would stroll in to see the Ovie of Ugheli and since he would be coming through sapele road to Benin he would make a stop at the Orodje palace. If He should tour delta state it could be a month. He might see the Dein of Agbor probably or he could just be hosted by the whole Delta state council of Traditional rulers....i am just saying.

Maximum Respect to Omo n'oba n'edo uku akpolokpolor, Erediauwa II

Emeijeh, you were a bit unkind to Oba Ewuare...Even his father, Omo N'oba N'edo Uku Akpolokpolor, Erediauwa II who you mentioned, visited Oba Adesoji Aderemi, late Ooni of Ife, in his Ile-Ife palace. He also visited other monarchs.

Again, Oba Ewuare has only left Edo state once- his visit to the President at the Villa and Sultan of Sokoto? Or did you expect him not to visit his peer kings who attended his colourful coronation? It may even be difficult for an Oba in 2017 (Oba Ewuare) to have the same nuances as an Oba (Erediauwa) installed in 1979...

I do not think that there is anything wrong with the visit, Emeijeh.
