Can someone explain to me exactly what eze ndigbo means and what his functions are. Is he akin to a king?, because according to this Akure saga, he wore a crown (some say it is a cap) and royal regalia to see the Deji, he is also said to have come with some chiefs. Is he a market leader? because the bone of contention was who is to be appointed or elected market leader.

If the the Eze Ndigbo is not well defined, the Igbos will always have issues wherever the migrate. Imagine an Eze Ndigbo of London wearing a crown or cap in front of the Queen of England claiming to the the king of Igbos in London.

The issue in akure is even worse than in Lagos, fulani herdsmen are butchering and humiliating yorubas and yoruba elders in akure and ondo and the youths and their thug deji are no where to be found, instead, the yorubas are choosing to pick side battles with igbos.. I wonder what will happen when igbos begin to follow the footsteps of fulani's in yorubaland

story is now changing from u people saying he wore a crown to the obas palace, its now they protested, I don't know y I hv d feeling that if someone neutral analyzes the story constructively it would be affirmed that the Eze is innocent;
from the stories the igbos hv a market at one certain place like that, and thats an igbo dominated/ igbo area if I cud say based on assessments the same way yorubas hv tailoring shops in the east and northerners hv there goat and cattle market too with there various leaders and representatives yet nobody cares as far as they deliver, so the igbo traders there hold a meeting to elect a leader to be in charge of the market to aid in cleaning the environment and the rest(if the market had yoruba traders or had a leadership before now it was never stated anywhere, d igbos there just thought of it as a way to ease there work), then d yorubas hear about it,Ondo is still backward so if there thinking is backward d it won't be a surprise, they start with there way of thinking"thats how they behave, that's how they said Lagos is a no mans land, now they want to bring it to yoruba land, we wud teach them a lesson" they went and stopped the leadership of the market for reasons known to them, igbo traders there who were annoyed by it, thinking they were living with there brothers who treated them with equality went to protest PEACEFULLY, they waited knowing they were coming staged youths with canes and pounced on them, and started reversing the story.

Firefire:
I don't support this call outrightly but...

“It is globally accepted that there cannot be two kings in the same domain as there cannot be two captains in the same boat.”


However, this calls is against the spirit of National Unity and Oneness, BUT our Igbo brothers and sisters should tread softly and let understand our limitation when on foreign land until the law is amended.

Agba ki wa lo ja, ki ori omo tuntun wo oooo.

I am proudly Nigerian and not advocating for any tribe / race.

Lushore1:


Its not your eze responsiblity to choose market leader anywhere in yorubaland, you need to go and find out what "oja oba" means and just remember that this tradition predate nigeria itself.

salamido:


If ibos are called to order in other parts of Nigeria, must the solution be biafra? What about SE? Remember that biafra was a disaster for you!

Kagawa10:

Nobody is changing the story here! Should I have to remind you that the first story was got from the eediot's narration!
The true story is that he and his cohorts came to protest! And the eediot have the guts to wear his stup!d crown at that!
And you are a goat for that highlighted part! I should inform you that you are conversing with an Ondo citizen here! Yeye man!
Let me ask you, can such 'peaceful' protest happen in your ibo land? Definitely No!
Shameless losers!

lygn19:

I dont want Biafra but if my plans ever come to past u yorubas would wish they gave Igbos Biafra when they had the chance.
if igbos were to hv Biafra there would be no fun in it anymore.

But when will your coward people begin to drop the sophisticated toga on fulanis or is it because igbos have chosen to be peaceful?

So when a Yoruba oba visits an igbo king in imo state, should be remove his clothes n crown n wear mufty just because he's in igbo land

9jacrip:


Igbos have always been known to be poor with history.

Hit google or if you have few bread to break for knowledge, hit jstor and search for Jalumi and Osogbo wars.

Also, look up the various conflicts with Yoruba. One that was so bad Buhari was forced to come down SW to meet with the governor.

Yoruba have long let the sophistication that makes no sense to me push them into certain situations where they took jabs from people they've trumped in wars Pre-independence and Post-independence. And now, it is starting to change, 2014 was a year of awakening.

Stop threatening violence, nobody can predict the outcome of violence. Tune into CNN or Aljazeera and see millions of Syrian refugees treking thousands of miles including virtually swimming across the Mediterranean in order to get to Europe as refugees. If they knew they would suffer this much, they would have "jejely" let Assad be. Even if the war stops today, it will take Syria and syrians 20 years to get back to where they were before the war.

I thought u told us u were from Delta state and was showing us how Agbor and Ndokwa was different, how delta igbo is not igbo but Benin?

So what happened to kwara? What is happening in ondo today with fulani herdsmen? Today, a yoruba general was just sentenced to deat.. Mind you yorubas have not fought any wars.. Yorubas will leave the current situation they are facing with fulanis to pick side battles with peace loving igbos.. what else but cowardice

So an Eze Ndigbo is an Igbo king and must be accorded royal protocols when they visit the traditional kings of where they reside. This is my understanding of your response.

Ondo state is the one with rocks and forest all over if I remember well, so if I come to Ondo and I want to start breaking these rocks into gravel whicb I would pay for to the govt, if after I start and I measure it and pay royalty to the state so if my company doesnt know that there is a reverred stone in ondo dat nobody should touch and I dont know that and I touch it, instead of u people to have warned me before now because am an igbo man even my workers that are yorubas wont gimme a tip off saying "Oga dat stone na sacred one no touch am o" they would allow me touch it so that there village head would gimme a friendly invitation to his palace only to tell some youths to hide at his backyard with cane when I to respect the oba, someone I cud just shun if the worst happen I enter the nearest bus back to the east, but I respected his throne by honouring his invitation greeted him bowed to him only for the moment am about to raise my face some youths pounce on me and start flogging me....Its not so o.

I even replied on that same thread that as an Ondo's citizen, it's not difficult to understand itshekiri's dialect which is no different from the Ilaje's!
Ibo and lies, very synonymous!
Shameless tribe!

so its because of ordinary cap that's making u people disgrace yourself, ur crown in yoruba land might be part of fashion for someone somewhere, so somebody says he is the leader of an organization and wears a fancy hat to the palace its an insult?
that's wat I understand of your own response.

lol... a yoruba man dat cannot hear igbo yet can differentiate between chi and chukwu...lol
thats just what u are portraying by fooling yourself.

wirinet:


Why are you this incoherent. You insinuated that an Eze Ndigbo is equal to a king and i asked for clarification and you are talking about fancy hats. What if the Deji hate the fancy hat and orders for its removal, besides you do not wear hats (fancy or otherwise) when visiting higher authority like kings, elders and deities.

I thought u were d one helping us separate Agbor from Ndokwa so much dat u knew all the villages in Anioma?
