Can We Have Eze Ndi Igbo Nairaland? by PointB: 3:14pm On Dec 02, 2011
Nairalanders, shall we begin?

I know this will piss off some people, but are we beholden to them?

I think for better political and social cultural cohesion of the Igbo nation on Nairaland, we should nominate and elect an Eze Ndigbo Nairaland.

We can also discuss here his functions and term of office.

Who knows what other use this can be put to? Of course other ethnic group are free to do theirs.

Nominations please.

Thanks sweetheart, in any case I am not qualified. I am the electoral officer here.

Though you are a lady you are aptly qualified for nomination. If I get favourable nomination for you, you will feature. It will be up to the voters to choose.

There is no precedence for Eze Ndi Igbo on Nairaland and since we cannot verify the s.ex of the posters I would not suggest that female cannot be virtual Eze.
Re: Can We Have Eze Ndi Igbo Nairaland? by Bliss4Lyfe(f): 3:56pm On Dec 02, 2011
^^ Thanks for the vote of confidence but will be limiting my nairaland activities in the near future, so wouldn't make a good candidate. thanks all the same. wink

Mba, we need to accommodate Igbos at home and abroad who doesn't speak igbo.
Re: Can We Have Eze Ndi Igbo Nairaland? by PointB: 4:11pm On Dec 02, 2011
@Aigbofa, lol you are a diehard Yoruba ethnic champion. Nice one all the same. Anyway you can participate in the voting.

@bliss4life, it's well taken even though you will be missed.

@ryo, it is by nomination, then election.
This process in the worse case scenario will show us the most respected and popular Igbo on Nairaland. Subsequent, he would be expected to champion the Igbo cause same way he has been doing. Only that he will be more self conscious of that responsibility.
Re: Can We Have Eze Ndi Igbo Nairaland? by egift(m): 4:11pm On Dec 02, 2011
Igbo ewegi Eze. - Igbo have no King.

We could have those we regard, respect and those whose voice count, but we do not have King. Anyone promoting one don't have a clue to what it means to have Igbo Heritage.

Alternatively, you could go for Igbo Representative (for ceremonial purpose) - Truth be told, that person will not speak on my behave or that of a true Igbo person (considering the complexities and divergence of issues here daily).
Re: Can We Have Eze Ndi Igbo Nairaland? by PointB: 4:20pm On Dec 02, 2011
To avoid manipulation of the Igbo choice, 1. well known ethnic champion of rival ethnic group nominations will be discounted. 2. Freshly registered posters nomination will have to be seconded by a old poster without bias to rule 1 above.

3. Posters whose ethicity/loyalty have been challenged severally by well known Igbo posters will have their nomination/seconding discounted.
Re: Can We Have Eze Ndi Igbo Nairaland? by PointB: 4:26pm On Dec 02, 2011
We are on the same page egift. This exercise is purely for recognition. In any case having not king has not be very good politically for Igbos.

Flash back to  the bible time (the Jews an offshoot of the Igbo race or the other way round) recognized this problem and demanded for a king. Having a king, ruler, rep, or spokeman for the Igbo ethnic group is not bad in the real sense. It is goof for unity and cohesion. Time has changed so many things.

What qualities must they possess?
Re: Can We Have Eze Ndi Igbo Nairaland? by Demdem(m): 4:34pm On Dec 02, 2011
The only igbo i respect here on nairaland is Ezianchi. i wonder where he is right now.
Re: Can We Have Eze Ndi Igbo Nairaland? by PointB: 4:52pm On Dec 02, 2011
@Jay bee, we can't measure qualities, follow your heart.

@demdem, is that a nomination? I havent seen him of late too. He might have gotten tired of Nairaland tribalism.
Re: Can We Have Eze Ndi Igbo Nairaland? by Demdem(m): 4:58pm On Dec 02, 2011
If u dont mind, it is.
Re: Can We Have Eze Ndi Igbo Nairaland? by lailaiwala: 5:16pm On Dec 02, 2011
thanks to the poster who reminded us that igbo typically have no king. being 15% igbo, i was aware of this. that is why i nominated a council of elders. cheesy

if i can add to my earlier post, i will say that eziachi, ezeuche, and chyz are also good choices to be considered.

PointB:

To avoid manipulation of the Igbo choice, 1. well known ethnic champion of rival ethnic group nominations will be discounted. 2. Freshly registered posters nomination will have to be seconded by a old poster without bias to rule 1 above.

the bolded sounds like n attempt to disqualify chinwerenemeyerechinaman. ojoro has started.  shocked

anyway, i myself will challenge someone like okija-juju. i dare anyone to nominate him. aigbofa is more igbo than he is. grin

Noted. But then even in the council of elders there is always a senior or leader. The final election will make it clear.

Lol at the oJoro allegations, and I couldn't help but agree to your comment about Okija_juju. That guy has managed to piss of even very moderate Igbo posters.

Ndu_Chucks go away you are not Igbo. Go and start a thread for Sultan or emirates. Lol.

Anyway I can't stop you from voting, can I? So that is your consolation.

Ndu_Chucks gburu gburu indeed. Lol

Re: Can We Have Eze Ndi Igbo Nairaland? by PointB: 11:31pm On Dec 02, 2011
Ahj harem the title on Niaraland is symbolic. And part of this nominating process is also to discuss what role they will be playing here especially to support the current igbo renaissance.

Thanks for your nominations. But I am afraid you and Ndu_Chucks are not qualified as Igbos. But in any case you are entitled to vote when the poll begins.

Why can't we be qualified as eze ndigbo

In fact I would remove myself given the fact that I have said some pretty horrible stuff about Igbos even though I NEVER MEANT ANY ONE OF THEM.

What of Ndu chuks ?

He understands Igbo well, interact with Igbos, and never tribalistic. so what is stopping him.

Also I forgot to add, rhymes
