You guys have come here to disgrace the Igbo nation like your so called Eze Ndigbo Lagos or Kano or Jos. Stop this disgrace.I don't even believe that any true Igbo daughter or son would allow himself to be ridiculed to this level. Azen gbokwa!!

The moderator needs to move this to tribalist or joke session.

Re: Can We Have Eze Ndi Igbo Nairaland?
« #378 on: Today at 12:19:33 AM »

I'd like to drop this short write-up as a reminder to all those who will be participating in the voting. . .

     This election, as trivial and jestful as it may seem carries significant importance to the Igbo people. I'd like to make it clear that whatever happens here will definately have a lasting impact on the way Ndiigbo are represented on this forum. Nairaland, being Nigeria's largest online community is often frequented by important personalities both in Nigeria and Africa and it continues to be a means in which the people of Nigeria, and the friends of Nigeria, express themselves and make their presence known. The Igbos, are a numerous group here on Nairaland and a representative chosen for Ndiigbo will have to be someone who is capable of representing us on the internet and in the world.

     Such a person must be a carbon-copy of the ideals, viewpoints, thoughts, and values of the Igbo nation. Our leader, whomever it may be, should be someone we take pride in. It must be someone whose every action on this site brings pride and glory to the Igbo nation rather than embaraces or disgraces. It woulkd be a callamtity for a nation as bright, fruitful, and numerous as ours to select the wrong ambassador. In my idea, I am not asking for a perfect person, and so arent the Igbo. We fully acknowledge that every man has his flaws which are expressed differently, and it would be tragic for us to have to choose between the lesser of two evils. Therefore, the "Eze Ndigbo Nairaland" title is not something to be joked around with.

     Godwillingly, these elections may produce a fresh, intelligent and refined person to be our "Eze". Such an Eze should be a miror image of our physical "Ezes". What I mean by this is that he or she should act in the manner that the Eze Nri, Obi of Onicha, Eze Aro, and all other sovereigns act. His word should be valued and respected and his or her presence should, like I previously stated, represent the presence of the en his Igbo nation.

     Please forgive me if it seems that I am talking about the same things. I only wish for us, Ndiigbo, to select a candidate who will not fail us and who we will not regret appointing tomorrow. If such happens, our people will never be able to hold their heads high again. Also, there are some crucial pieces of information missing.
If someone is elected Eze, how long shall their tenure be?
What will his or her duty be?
What will be done in the worst case scenario?

With this in mind, I hail the Igbo nation and I also commend those who will be participating in the voting. Hopefully, we will be able to select someone worthy to be ou representative to the world. Lastly, I present myself, not as the perfect candidate but as an honest candidate. I did not write this to secure votes for myself but to provide food for thought to all those who will be nominating and voting. However, I am actively running and I present myself as a candidate.

Whatever happens, I wish Ndiigbo good luck and wish to remind you all that our image is in your hands.

-Odumchi.

Which one is more a disgrace to the Igbo, this thread or this your thread?

Like the OP said, it's just symbolic! Deal with it bro.
