To see a country president without the approval of the state govt who gave them certificate of authority in their various domain hv bcom a norm bah... See how Ukpo billionaire man made them useless because of money

Mr. Man take corrections when freely given. I know about this since my history days at senior high school. What do they teach in school these days? He is right. 120 years ago, there's nothing like Eze or Igwe title 'properly so called' in ala Igbo.

it's just childish to call someone a child when been corrected for your ignorance bra.

You were making sense until you ruined it with your last paragraph.

There are classes of Obas or Kings. The Igwe title in Igboland will pass as Baálè or some third class king title in the West and South. Why? Most of the first class king titles had long been in existence before the formation of Nigeria and long before the system of government we adopted came into being. It is why most first class stools are revered and greatly feared.

NO GOVERNOR IN THE WEST WILL TALK RECKLESSLY AT THE OONIRSA, let alone Oyetola of Osun State as a sitting governor. And none will dare the Aláàfin of Ọ̀yọ́, except a fellow first class king in a scuffle with him as is the case between the late Ooni and the current Aláàfin. The same applies to the Ọba of Benin. As crazy and destructive as Obaseki is, he wouldn't dare talk in a condescending manner at the Ọba, let alone ever dream of suspending the Ọba, just because he is the "state government".

Does that mean he can't? Heck, no. He can but he wouldn't dream of it. All he can do, at best is cook a cold War and that's it.

As for the Emir, the status has been abused greatly. Unfortunately for Sanusi, he was rewarded with the position and it was wrestled out of his grip same way.

I don't understand the story of the Sultans and won't dabble into that with my limited knowledge in that aspect, but I sure as hell believe the Sultan is not under the control of the Local government.

Unlike the first class Kings of the South South and South West, the Emir, today, is more of a manager while the formers are regarded as custodians, reincarnated gods and divine beings.

First class Kings wield an unbelievable amount of power over vast areas, including multiple local governments. That of the Ooni transcends beyond Ifẹ̀ and even Osun State and that of the Aláàfin runs across the entire Ọ̀yọ́ State. The Ọba of Benin, I'm sure you know.

Please get it today, the kingship of first class Kings IS NOT UNDER THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AUTHORITY. They are answerable to their State government who doesn't have any outright control over them. There is more to this than what applies with Igboland.

what sort of explanation do obiano want the traditional rulers to give him.......are they juvenile who owe obligations to their parents..

I'm not sure the money was the motive. Even N2m is piss change for any traditional ruler in Anambra to hustle for.

EagleNest:
Some people above do not understand how this thing works. Learn from Sanusi vs Ganduje saga. The governor welds so much power on who becomes Igwe, Emir or Oba. The staff of office comes from state government and they can sack as well. You can't gallivant to Aso Rock as a group of Igwes from a particular state without checking with the leader of the traditional Igwes or commissioner in charge of chieftaincy in the state. Unless you are going as an individual on private visit. That's why Buhari didn't give them attention. Try this nonsense in Lagos state and you're gone.

Obiano Slams one-year Suspension on 12 Traditional Rulers

By James Eze

The Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano has placed one year suspension on the 12 Igwes who went on an ill-advised trip to Abuja without consultation or approval from the Government of Anambra State.

Announcing the suspension in a circular titled “Suspension of Twelve (12) Traditional Rulers in Anambra State,” and dated Tuesday August 11, 2020, the Commissioner for Local Government, Chieftaincy and Community Affairs, Mr. Greg Obi listed the affected traditional rulers as follows -
1. Igwe Alex Edozieuno of Mkpunando
2. Igwe Mark Anthony Okonkwo of Alor
3. Igwe Chukuwma Bob Vincent Orji of Ezinifite
4. Igwe Engr G.B.C Mbakwe of Abacha
5. Igwe Chijioke Nwankwo of Nawfia
6. Igwe Nkeli Nelly of Igbariam
7. Igwe Anthony Onyekwere of Owelle
8. Igwe A. N Onwuneme of Ikenga
9. Igwe Simon Ikechukwu Chidubem of Umumbo
10. Igwe S. O Uche of Ezira
11. Igwe Dr Emeka Ilouno of Ifitedunu
12. Igwe Peter Ikegbunem Udoji of Eziagulu Otu.

The suspension took effect from Tuesday, August 11, 2020.

The circular warned the suspended traditional rulers not to parade themselves as traditional rulers and desist from discharging their functions as traditional rulers in their communities or anywhere within the state and beyond with immediate effect.

The circular also revoked their membership of Anambra State Traditional Rulers Council and cancelled any appointment they may be holding in government committees until the suspension is lifted.

The suspension may be lifted at the end of one year, renewed or upgraded in the intervening period depending on government’s review of the conduct of the errant royal fathers.

The suspension of the Igwes followed the recommendation of their colleagues in the Anambra State Traditional Rulers Council after their meeting at Prof Dora Akunyili Women Development Center Awka on Tuesday which took umbrage at the public conduct of the 12 Igwes that has been generating negative reviews in the media in the past one week.

The Anambra State Traditional Rulers Council led by the Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Nnaemeka Achebe had strongly condemned the ill-fated trip of the rebellious traditional rulers who were lured to Abuja by a controversial billionaire on a chest-thumping mission to demonstrate his ambition to turn Anambra State into his private fiefdom.

In leaving their respective domains without notifying either the state or their respective local governments, the traditional rulers had violated the code of conduct prescribed for their office.

It would be recalled that the Traditional Ruler of Ukwulu, Igwe Peter Uyanwa had similarly been suspended for a similar misconduct the previous week.

Certificate of authority that became relevant as from when?

That institution has been there before the arrival of British government.

If any should sanction them, it is the people, council of elders and the town they rule and not Obiano govt arrogating the monopoly of wisdom to himself.


The real disgrace here is the state governor playing petty politics..


The monarchs doesn't need obianos' validation to collect money from anyone.

Tkester:
Very good! Arthur Eze should know that we are not like the Afonjazees were one man will be playing king. Our people are thorough bred republicans.

Go Obiano, go!
