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.

Edited to include:


Qualities and responsibilities expected Eze Ndi Igbo Nairaland
The Eze Ndi Igbo Nairaland is expected to

1   understands and listens to Ndi Igbo

6   inspires Ndi Igbo
7   credits Ndi Igbo
8   helps Ndi Igbo

LMHO

Nyway, Point B AND Ezeuche comes to mind. Chyz lest i forget.

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.

^^ 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.

I nominate myself.

is it by appointment, election or selection. and i suggest. igbo should be the official language. ya di kwara anyi nma igbo ndi oma we nmadu

Mba, we need to accommodate Igbos at home and abroad who doesn't speak igbo.

@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.

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).

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.

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?

The only igbo i respect here on nairaland is Ezianchi. i wonder where he is right now.

@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.

If u dont mind, it is.

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.

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

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

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

andre uweh,

PointB(you can lead the way bro)

eze uche <= Why look elsewhere?

^^^
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 gburu gburu    

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

The sooner we rid this country of obas and emirs ,igwe and all those titles like eze indi igbagba, the better for us all,
Confusion coming to n.l.

I nominate

Okija Juju

Ifyalways

ndu Chuks

Aigbofa

and Alj harem

^^^
You could have as well nominated yourself. Lol. In any case, you have won yourself the right to vote. Congratulations!

@Ode remo, noted. But we are still taking nominations. Thanks.

Still expecting more nominations.

Point B, I don't still understand the functions of eze indigbo real life in other states not to talk of Nairaland.

I don't mind if you could explain. also I would guest he is a leader of the igbos groups so I nominate

1. I my self alj harem

2. Manny4life

3 Asha80

4. Chyz

5. ndu chuks

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
