barcanista: As long as i am concerned, all na wash. As the saying goes THERE'S NO KING IN IGBOLAND...

Dreal1247: .



Who is edo? Edo is the goddesse established through a woman who was married to Ezemewi. They were very strong couple. Though the woman was more powerful than the husband. NNEWI IS 2 BIG TO BE DEDICATED TO A MAN MADE DEITY. If you as a christian as you stated can pray in the name of Edo, then i will agree with you. It is not Edo-kingdom, but Jesus-kingdom.

gibson81: Nso ala how can an Igwe travel out of his Royal territory to celebrate 5 yrs on the throne. Ofo adi eje mba ofesi. Unu arapula omenani mebe omenenu. Because his family are in USA, they decided to carry a celebration that's due in Igboland to obodo oyibo. This is NSO ALA!

My friend if you have nothing useful to say, SHUT THE HELL UP.

iamdsam: Nice one but why didn't he celebrate it with his people? Monarchs in foreign countries won't do this

Sirnokiopee: its rather unfortunate how Nigerians are so sentimental, am sure most people criticising the igwe visit to California are either jealous or bad belle-ish in nature.

as the Op already stated ( that its part of the celebration, not the main celebration. which the op categorically said its still going on in Nnewi as we speak) Igwe visit to California might be one of the treat his appreciative kingdom decide to give the King whom they believe deserve it.

most people don't even know the way to there village,not to talk of the full name of their king. some are so ashamed of their root.

i foresee three reason for bad-mouthing/hating and bad-belle-ing

1. your kingdom are so poor they cant afford to foot the bill of their king to California
2.probably there is nobody that ever travelled to USA in your kingdom( so nobody to visit)
3.you are just logged up in the traditional/African story like we are still in stone age. (wake up the world is Globalized now, Nnewi may have annex anywhere in the world and stil be ruled upon by the igwe)

before you quote me. am a full yoruba man from Lagos precisely Epe to be more precise
long live the igwe.... long live Nnewi.... long live Nigeria One Nigeria One nation One people.

Chynx:

So u think for him to have traveled to the States to celebrate, nothing happened in Nnewi?
My dear, more than enough gidi had already happened in Nnewi (and is still happening in his absence).
Besides, his people are ALL OVER THE WORLD!...for they thrive anywhere they go! Thus, he can choose to tour the whole world if he chooses! No biffs!

Okija_juju:

He has raised some valid concerns.. His concerns have been forwarded to the gods who are currently delibrating on the matter. Dont forget that similar issues arose when the Eze Nri of Igboland travelled to New York last year or so..

He will get his response when once I hear from the gods..

biafranqueen: With the children of his Kingdom via California.

igbo2011: Why did he choose California?

Onlytruth:

Nne I'll try and come. As a matter of fact that is one of the MAIN reason I visit home.
The last one surpassed all others and I hope this one ga adi egwu.

Do you know the Ofomatas, Okongwus, Ofomas, Etiabas? These are family friends you may know from Inyaba (Umudim)?

gudugudumeje: Not the longest surviving monarch in Nigeria. THE AWUJALE OF IJEBU-ODE IS the longest surviving monarch in Nigeria; CROWNED 7TH APRIL 1960. Pls. take note.

Jakumo: By the way, I wish to tender my marriage proposal to the Igwe's grand-daughter that is standing to the left, with the white top, nice jugs and red cardigan. If my proposal is approved, I want to know where the traditional 20 heads of cattle are to be delivered in Southern California, particularly since my Fulani herdsmen are not very familiar with the SoCal freeway system.
