Mortiple: This link shows the writings of a highly placed Igala palace official clearly stating that Nri was the elder brother of the Igala ancestor https://www.nairaland.com/1036147/family-bond-between-igala-igbos This link reveals slightly how deep Nri goes http://www.igbofocus.co.uk/NRI-IS-THE-FOCUS-IN-IGBO-CIVIL/nri-is-the-focus-in-igbo-civilization.html 2 Likes |

Obi of Onitsha dynasty spans over 200yrs. All those Igwe you mentioned are more or less village elders because when they meet Obi of Onitsha they will all have to kneel down. [s] murphyibiam15:[/s] 1 Like |

Stop deceiving yourself. What are the names of those kings you are yapping about? Don't they have names? I told you that they are mere village heads that whenever Obi of Onitsha appears they will have to kneel down. [s] murphyibiam15:[/s] |

OfoIgbo:In my school, my teacher didn't mention names like Eze Nri, but names like Oba of Benin, Oba of Lagos, Obi of onitsha, Sultan of Sokoto etc. I asked my teacher : Which of them is connected to Ibo land. She told me: Obi of Onitsha is the only recognized king Nationally and Internationally that is from East, Others are just recognized within their vicinity. 1 Like |

Chiwude: The Eze Nri, or indeed any of the UmuNri King's domain flows into other territories, but mainly in its priestly format. ●UmuNri are the owners of the deities used in naming the Igbo market days, and as long as other Igbos outside the Nri clans use those market days, then they are subliminally acquiescing to Nri astrological hegemony ●UmuNri introduced the ozo, nze, duru, mgburuichi (embrenche according to Olaudah Equiano) to Igboland ●UmuNri have the copyright in counting and announcing new years to Igbo, Igala, Bini peoples ●When an abomination is committed in Igboland, only an Nri priest is culturally high enough to lift it. If an abomination is committed in Onitsha, the obi of Onitsha or any of his titled men are not culturally significant enough to abrogate the alu. They have to seek out Nri priests to do that There are many more duties Nri perform for Igbos, which is why kings from the Nri lineage are culturally more powerful than any other king. In non-Nri domains, they operate more as priests 5 Likes |

Shut up this dunce. This one you called a king is just a village head when compare to Obi whenever Obi of Onitsha steps out he will kneel down before the Obi. [s] cocaineaddict:[/s] 1 Like |

chino11:The word Village head is too big. In Imo state, If I have excess money, I will just call like 5 to 6 extended families and I become their Autonomous King, or village head as you mentioned. In actual sense is more or less Family Head. |

OdenigboAroli: Igwe of Orlu - is there any Igbo that doesn't know about the Igwe of Orlu? The most famous Igwe of Orlu was a Senator that represented Orlu senatorial district in the first republic. Until he died a few years ago, traditional rulers from different parts of Nigeria, including the Emir of Kano, came to Orlu nearly every year he celebrated his years on the throne. His son that was about to take over his stool unfortunately died a Supreme Court judge. A very relatively young son of the judge - a medical practioner - is the Igwe of Orlu today. He doesn't get much into politics, perhaps that's why the likes of chino/OdenigboAroli the politician may not have heard about him. Meanwhile, it's colourful the celebration of Obi of O'sha. 3 Likes |

Ofodirinwa: You are very correct. Let me put it more succinctly. Eze Nri was both a king and chief priest in the four principal Nri towns, but he was only a chief priest in non-Nri Igbo towns. His priestly dominion even extended to Benin and Igala provinces |

Ofodirinwa:Typical hinterland igbo behaviour.Every time "ndigbo enwero eze,ndigbo enwero eze".Do you think Onitshans wanted to identify as igbo in the first place?precolonially, igbos without kings were at the bottom of the social hierarchy among tribes in the south,all they were good for was farmwork and thats why they were mostly sold as slaves by the Ijaw and Efiks.Onitshans got their social exposure from the great Benin Empire,which was majestic and very prestigious centuries back and hence with that kind of pride,they were condescending towards igbos-who could not properly organize themselves socially.Onitshan,Aniomas,Aros also grew wealthy from coastal trade in the past and had started wearing clothes when you bush igbo people were still running around naked with your änyi enwero eze" trope.The Akwa-Ocha cloth has been worn for centuries.Not that clownish Isi Agu atture! Till date,the Enu Onitsha man wiil prefer his daughter not to marry from interior igboland but rather from Onitsha westwards(Anioma,Benin,Nigerdelta,Yoruba or even Igala) Igbos and unnecessary pride......ordinary respect a grand King is hard,and you expect to produce the President of Nigeria?When you cant organize yourselves socially.Jokers 1 Like |
