Very interesting.

A visitor that disrespects the tradition and culture of the host should be beheaded.

If you cannot respect the culture and traditional institution of the host, go back to your cursed gully eroded land of red mud.

Simple as ABC.

Must you stay in a foreign land by force??

BushidoBlue:



Yet we are communicating in English because of our cultural differences
Why don't all Nigerians speak their language and live in confusion? It's the same reason I state that explaining the culture is more superior to beating the cultural offender. At the palace for that matter.

superstar1:


Naaaaa.

The koko is that when you get to a foreign land, you do not wait for them to lecture you on their culture and tradition before you do that yourself by asking the people that were there before you.

So, if you travel out, you will expect the government of that country to lecture you on their do's and dont's or you will ask other naijas that you see there?

BushidoBlue:


Are there two Nigerias?
I still ask, wouldn't it have made sense for the palace assistants to have stopped the Eze igbo at the palace gates and told him not to proceed than to beat him.
Where was civilisation in that civilisation?

omonnakoda:
Flogging is a form of explanation,very effective in my humble opinion

BushidoBlue:


I have been to a palace where the courtiers sat my delegation down and explained their do's and don'ts before we even stepped in. That's a civil society. What happened to the courtiers in the Deji of Akure's palace?

superstar1:


You can develop operational manual for the palace guards of Deji of Akure and equally take it to him in your own crown and regalia too.

I hope you will live to tell the story.

superstar1:


What stops you from paying your fare to Akure, ask for the description to Deji's palace. Then ask for the head of the Palace Guards and then lecture him on how to do their job, instead of wasting your hand typing on NL.

BushidoBlue:



In other words a soldier should koboko my father's head this evening as he drives by the barracks instead of telling him to stop for his Oga? Ok oooo...

mofayodeyahoo:
I was no there but as a yoruba man i want you to thing of these:

does a market leader need a crown?
Tinubu mother even his daughter in lagos never wear one

how many village head in yoruba land are entitled to put on crown?

Government or paramount ruler are only permit to wear crown for the new king not whoever can buy it.

How much knowledge of that place or respect does the eze has now?

Igbo man thinks money is everythin many of dem travels but no knowledge...

So does it know how a village a suppose to greet paramount ruler? Is just anticipating market leader

Come kano kano come see how a district kings dey pay obeisant

BushidoBlue:


U no get leg? Why don't u make others understand your culture? Na fight all d time? What's the wahala here now? Really?

Ioannes:


that wasn't what I read sir. I read that despite the advice given to the eze not to appear bedecked like a king, he ignored that.

ofcourse we both were not there, But I will rather believe that something grave must have happened for the floggings to take place. How many other floggings of igbos in Yoruba palace have you heard? I will give the benefit of the doubt to the Deji.

superstar1:
Utter rubbish.

He should thank his stars that it is not Alafin he did that to. I am sure his head would have been used to worship the next Ogun Festival.

he should wear his crown among his people and not in a palace of a King.

You got it!
This is one of those follow up threads (with dozens more to come) just to plant guilt in some tissue paper Yoruba's minds, and as soon as you make the mistake of condemning the Oba's action, Ibos will quickly grow wings and demand for apology, then the removal of the oba and spend the next 1 year bashing him all in a bid to further denigrate Yoruba. Remember what they said to Oba Akiolu because they got some Yoruba' s backing.

IGBOSON1:


^^^Forget that shi/t...something grave indeed! Since when have Yoruba waited for 'something grave' happening before showing their hatred for Igbos at the earliest opportunity! It's quite telling that you lot see nothing wrong in your Oba setting up someone invited to his palace and ambushing him with hundreds of thugs and miscreants! An Eze or Obi in Igboland can never descend to such an uncivilized level, and if he does will be roundly condemned by all Igbos....the ethnicity of the victim notwithstanding!

I have a strong suspicion some of those thugs are the bigots and haters we come across on this forum!

Anyway, i don't blame you Yoruba....it's the daft Igbos that go to such a place in the name of 'one Nigeria' that i blame! They think the constitution, the law and basic human decency would give them some cover from a place brimming with xenophobes and bigots just waiting for the slightest opportunity to strike!

Where was civilisation in that civilisation?

cjrane:
If this truly happened, I am wondering why Igbos cannot retaliate. Just invite the Yoruba leader in the east you'd sob headquarters to explain. If he doesn't show up, grab a fee Yoruba men from the streets. Naked them and flog them mercilessly.

seunny4lif:

Why, he no try wear the yeye crown in front of OluofIbadan or Oni of Ife
Na him head dem go Use for Ogun...
As a Akure guy, we gentle make him try that nonsense with in Ondo Town those people no dey hear word even all Ondo state dey fear OWO people and Ondo town

omonnakoda:
That is exactly what we would like to see. Brilliant idea

Proud of you a bunch, I wish Lagos and the rest of the SW can follow your in your footsteps jare!

BushidoBlue:


My uncivilized mother is a debased prostitute

BushidoBlue:


So even you know that something is amiss in this scenario? It goes to show how deep the emotions run, the same way you are annoyed is the same way those Igbos feel slighted. In every conflict, a resolution must play out. Not more violence.

All evidence seems to suggest Eboes understand that language very well.Their governors are known for inviting citizens to Government House for floggings
