Igbos In Ashanti Region Oppose Installation Of Chief Date: 20-Aug-2013 The 1,000-member strong Igbo community in the Ashanti Region has opposed a planned installation of an Igbo chief of the region by a group residing in Accra. According to them, someone in Accra who described himself as “Eze Ndi Igbo” of Ghana (the King of Igbos in Ghana) and his agents were preparing feverishly to install an Igbo chief in the Ashanti Region, which is against the tradition of the Igbo people. They explained that the Igbos in the Ashanti Region were committed to peace and would, therefore, not allow anyone or group of people to create confusion in the region. A statement issued by the Igbo community in Ashanti Region, after a meeting in Kumasi, said, by their tradition, the installation of heads of Igbo communities in the 10 regions of the country is done at the regional level and not by anyone residing outside a particular region. The statement signed by Mr John Chukwu Korie, the President of the Igbo community in Ashanti Region, and others, welcomed the position taken by the various Igbo communities in the remaining nine regions of Ghana not to pay homage to any Igbo King of Ghana because such an office or royalty did not exist. The statement said the Igbo community in the Ashanti Region was duly registered for the welfare of its members and would not hesitate to hand over to the appropriate security agents illegal chiefs or their agents who will disturb the peace of the Igbos in the Ashanti Region. “For the moment, the Igbos in Ashanti Region have no chief and as well are not supporting any ‘Eze’ and assume there is no ‘Eze Ndi Igbo’ in Ghana,” the statement said. While commending the chiefs and people of the Ashanti Region for their hospitality that had enabled Igbos to live in the region in peace over the years, the statement gave an assurance that nothing would be done to disturb such peace. It commended the Nigeria High Commissioner in Ghana, Mr Ademola Oluseyi Onafowokan, for his untiring efforts and commitment to peace among Nigerians in Ghana.

When are these people going to learn it's mandatory to respect the tradition and culture of their hosts? They blamed Hausas for hating them, said Ikweres are envious of them, shout of genocide in yoruba land, cry when South Africans deal with them, same with Botswana, Malaysia, Kenya, China and now Ghana. Is it not in the same Accra Yorubas celebrated 200 years they've migrated to Ghana and living peacefully with their hosts. These people better check themselves in the mirror and make necessary adjustment in their manners toward other people. 15 Likes |

I like the reaction of the people. They stayed true to their way of life and stood for what they believed in, even against the wish of a fellow Igbo. They prefer peace to forceful installations of made up offices and positions. Well done my people in Ashanti region. 7 Likes |

Eko Atlantic: When are these people going to learn it mandatory to respect the tradition and culture of their hosts?# Did you actually read the piece before replying? It is about a FELLOW IGBO trying to install himself as an Eze of Igbos living in Ghana. The Igbos have rejected it, as it is not an Igbo tradition to have a king of all Igbos.....ANYWHERE. It is not Ghanaians trying to install anyone....they don't do that. Go back and read the piece again please. 19 Likes |

Eko Atlantic: When are these people going to learn it mandatory to respect the tradition and culture of their hosts? bro See what we are saying ! Is that not what Yorubas just experienced in Lagos?.. When we say "Charity begins at home" , its only a entity that will know that HOME IS CHARITY AND CHARITY IS HOME ITSELF. Now see the life of mess these set of scoundrels just portrayed outside Nigeria! Soon some of them will deny they are the ones tarnishing the image of the country outside. TO IBOS VIEWING MY COMMENTS, if u peopke can still go out there apart from Lagos and still show how ill-mannered you are, ...THEN I WONDER when u will all stop been EXHIBITS in other people's lands ! .....CHEIIIII. see them, ... Very Annoying set of Alien Bugs |

Re: Igbos In Ashanti Region Oppose Installation Of Chief by EkoAtlantic: 1:25pm On Aug 20, 2013 |
londoner: Man, I'm standing by earlier posts, no mistake or any misinterpretation. My point is that must it only be the Igbos that we hear of anytime they are outside their lands? We want this.. We don't want that... Mehn, you're not in your home to choose what suit you and what doesn't. You just have to blend with whatever comes and make necessary adjustment. |

St_Ichimaro.Gin: The same question goes to you....what is the article actually saying? I really don't know why both yourself and Eko atlantic, are unable to just write what you understand the piece to be saying here.

londoner: If you think the responses I've given does not correlate with the article, well it's your thought which I have no problem with. I assume no sane person on this forum won't be able to grab the gist of the article. But I'm sure you got my own view and interpretation about the whole write-up. Again, you all need to live with others without being too forceful and loud mouthed. |

Re: Igbos In Ashanti Region Oppose Installation Of Chief by Nobody: 1:50pm On Aug 20, 2013 |
londoner: ok , what says the article? In simplicity, it says someone (whether Ghanian by logic or not) presented himself as king of igbos BUT was rejected by the visitors (igbos) themselves. Lets say he was a Ghanian, pls tell me, if such individual sees a part of Accra ( his fatherland) in need of a leader , and decides to impact his land through Leadership, so you mean he his not entitled to such position? bro, no hocus about that. U people lack both manners & charity to respect ur boundaries , especially in cultural matters like this. .... No wonder you are victims of discrimination !!! |
Re: Igbos In Ashanti Region Oppose Installation Of Chief by Nobody: 1:58pm On Aug 20, 2013 |
londoner: Ironically, U are the who only thinks the article says no more than how its written. .... THE ARTICLE IS SELF-EXPLANATORY; Ibos exhibit their ill-manners BY disrespecting the interests of their hosts everywhere they are visitors ...... |
Re: Igbos In Ashanti Region Oppose Installation Of Chief by EkoAtlantic: 1:58pm On Aug 20, 2013 |
londoner: Well, I just realized I'm not the only one you're doubting about rightfully comprehension of the article and you are also the only one doubting others if they understood what it says. Meaning I've actually wasted my time responding to u. Enjoy man... |
Re: Igbos In Ashanti Region Oppose Installation Of Chief by londoner: 2:02pm On Aug 20, 2013 |
St_Ichimaro.Gin: This is why I asked you to explain what you understood of the article. Let me explain to you what the article says. 1- An IGBO person is trying to install himself as an Eze over ALL Igbos in Ghana. 2-The Igbo community has rejected this, as it is NOT AN IGBO TRADITION TO HAVE A KING OVER ALL IGBOS. You know yourself there is no such title, not even in Nigeria. 3- The Igbos are vocally letting people know that this person parading himself as such is doing so FRAUDULENTLY. It has NOTHING TO DO WITH A NON IGBO person trying to be 'King of Igbos'. Ghanaians would never even seek to do such a thing. 6 Likes |

Eko Atlantic: When are these people going to learn it's mandatory to respect the tradition and culture of their hosts? Did you even read the article? Before you write something, maybe you should read it first and digest the article before sounding like a fool. The Igbos in this article are against an Eze Ndigbo being forced on them by other Igbos. 2 Likes |
