Is it a must that the Eze of NL must be a Ojukwu worshiper? That to me is sttupid if true such should have a mind of his own.

PointB: Since we aim to build unity not to continue in the atmosphere of rife, I would like to ask Okija_juju to make peace with those who strongly oppose his candidacy and obtain endorsement from the incumbent Eze.

berem: I don't care if he is an ojukwu worshipper or not! But whoever causes division amongst ndi igbo must be ruled out! He is not fit to be an Eze.I have never seen on NL where Ogun state indigenes throw curses on Ondo indigenes.or Lagosians insult Ekiti people.But people like Okija juju are fond of passing their hatred especially to Imo state.we want an Eze who would not bring hatred among NL igbos or always speak in favour his own state.

OKIJA JUJU CAN NEVER BE AN EZE!!

EWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Onye na ekwu i fa?!

Berem!!!!!

Mba... It cant be.. Not her!! This is an impostor..

PointB: I am also seriously considering the position of 'Lolo' in this election. I would like to see them rather as female Council members. Having seen the exploits of Dora, Ezekwesili, NOI, I believe that our women are more than capable of holding their own. Moreover, Igboland is a place where female empowerment is taken seriously, I believe our Nairaland should reflect this. I will therefore be willing to add two or more women to the list to give us this balance representation. The title they will go by, is however open for deliberation. But how to deploy them would be the responsibility of the incoming Eze.

So lets add a female each to our nomination while we deliberate on the appropriate title and responsibility to assign them. It will however cost us nothing to drop the idea if it is unworkable.

The issue of Lolo is something worth consideration and serious deliberation if possible by the Eze council members alone. If time is not on our side to allow the council member to deliberate on this issue and come out with final decision, i will suggest we the electoral Team look into it as we did in the case of re-electing Eze onlytruth.

How did you become a mediator in Igbo customary matters when you obviously dont know Omenani..

YOU CANT ELECT A LOLO!!!! Tufiakwa!!! Do you want to bring the wrath f the gods on us?!

An Eze Nwayi (maybe) but definitely not a 'Lolo'. The reason being that LOLO is not 'an office' anywhere in Igbo land.. Dont

PointB: Let me say a few words about the guidelines with the hope that Igbos understand the thinking behind them. I am using my mobile phone, my responses will be limited.

Some of us have observed that the rule are meant to disqualify some people. I am afraid they are correct. Electoral rules in every nation or organisation aim to disqualify a lot of people while ensuring that the very qualified stands. On the contrary our rule seek to do the opposite.

it has been made clear that Igbo on Nairaland seeks unity - that is at the heart of Ezeship. This Ezeship will not pay for our browsing time. Nor will it offer paid employment, build schools and other infrastructure for Igbos on Nairaland. It is a symbolic position, which main objective to promote Igbo unity and values.

To this end, this Eze responsibility is to gradually align the minority opinions towards the majority, not the other way round. Let me give you a typical example, majority Igbo sees Achebe, Ojukwu as a heroes, the minority sees them differently. Should the minority who sees them differently be allowed to lord over the majority? Clearly, this is a recipe for discord and disunity. There is no way the majority will be drawn to such individual, and such Eze who goes about denigrating our heros, other Igbo groups and institution clearly represent himself and his skewed minority. The rule aims to stop such people from representing us. The best place to stop them is here, with the nomination and rules. We cannot allow the all and sundry on Nairaland to decide our fate.

PointB

If and when it becomes a popular Igbo way to denigrate or cause the denigration our heroes, other Igbo sub-group, and cultural institution, then people at the forefront of this will be promoted, at the expense of those who don't.

He is not fit to be an Eze.I have never seen on NL where Ogun state indigenes throw curses on Ondo indigenes.or Lagosians insult Ekiti people.But people like Okija juju are fond of passing their hatred especially to Imo state.we want an Eze who would not bring hatred among NL igbos or always speak in favour his own state.

I will decisively reply you all after the charade going on here....

gbanikiti: eji kwanu m ego gi eme gini? Nke a bukwa okwu ego. Ihe di m n'obi ka m kwuputara. Anyi achogi Eze ga ekebi umuigbo ka ha nwe nsogbu. Ama m na Okija Juju bu onye ma Omeenala nke ukwu mana, anyi choro onye ga achikota anyi onu.

gbanikiti: but that's the plain truth! Atugha m asi? You were the first person that came to my mind about the Ezeship nominee but I have being following your comments and found out that you don't say anything good about Imo state.you,chino11 and Zubby77 are fond of causing wahala among ndi igbo.you might take it as a joke but its not funny at all! Someone who constantly makes ridicule of his fellow ndi igbos is not fit to be an Eze gburu gburu!

DerideGull:


No, Eze of NL must not be Ojukwu's worshoper. Howvever, I guess Mazi Okija_juju contravened the foremost cardinal rule in politics, thus, all politics are local. Ojukwu had been placed on my crosshair for a blunder commiited while handling certain aspect of civil war but never for standing against the aggressors who wanted easterners annihilated.

The scathing diatribes leveled against Ojukwu when few offspring of the aforementioned aggressors wanted the image of Ikemba tarnished did not sit well with most Biafrans. Ndigbo are not praise singers as evidenced during certain senatorial election in Nigeria where Ojukwu was soundly defeated by an out-of-town physician.

Thank you Honorable commissioner. I am seconding you on the statement of you stepping down and contest if the need be. Thank you for accepting the call to lead your people. One thing i will like to make clear right here is that it will be a shambolic and fruitless exercise if after the expiration of Eze Onlytruth tenure Ndigbo Nairaland mistakenly vote in someone who is unfit to climb the throne knowing how enemy surrounded us. Umu nne m cheta kwanu na ndi igbo kwuru si onye ndi enro gbala gburu gburu na eche ndu ya nche oge nine.

Obu mua ka I na kpo 'onye ilo' ?!

How do you determine an 'onye ilo' and an 'ezigbo madu'!?


I must really have a lot of haters... Darn!

Okija_juju:


Nne mma, Biko gba aram, odo'm anya kita na iche na ma furo ndi Owerri na anya. I have alway loved all Igbos without malice or prejudice, Owerri and Imo state is no exception. The only beef I have is with Rochas Okorocha as a person and his policies that I find ridiculous and of no value to the people of Imo state in general.

If I gave off that impression, please forgive me.

DerideGull:

Who gives a ratazz about what Olodoboy says pertaining to any topic possibly? Fact remains it takes the son of Ashawoo to recognize a woman he branded as Ashawoo, period.

ujchief: No one has explicitly disqualified okija. If okija feels a section in the by-laws was purposely aimed at disqualifying him, he should direct his complains to we, the election tribunal. He should stop raising dust and seeking unnecesary sympathy from ndi igbo by playing the victim card.
This is an open system, the people's vote must count. If theres need for constitutional amendment, theres always a due process to follow.

berem: nsogbu adighi. I hope all imo indigenes will forgive you also.for me I have forgiven.I will be watching your utterances about imo state.if eventually you become an Eze and you yarn dust about Imo state,walahi talahi I shall stage a war for your dethronment!

Dede1: From the ongoing, with respect to the nomination, I did not sense an idea the electoral committee handpicked or shortlisted the would-be nominees. I thought the nomination process is open and different from the main election. Based on this assumption, it is foolhardy to debate the issue of Mazi Okija_juju’s qualification for the Ezeship of NL.
