Thank God... am happy with the development, yorubas shud also start treating igbos with hostility.
They are set of people who learn by hard experience, back then when we were in school, we and d ppl in our clique asked each other where we would base of all of them I was the only one that choose igbo land, they thought they were wise, I pray dz continues so much that for any igbo man to buy even half plot of land outside igbo land would be war.
why to the yorubas that sent for a man who respected and honoured there Obas call and went to see him, if in yoruba land another king cant come into there palace with a crown, all they wud do before they usher him into the palace is tell him to remove it, they allowed him in planned youths to lurk around with canes because they knew what they wanted to do and looked for the flimsiest excuse or mis yarn to insult him and belittle him. I am happy this is happening because I keep count in it ti score my points. But yorubas we igbos wud be merciful when ur time comes I promise u, that mantle u hold thats making u insult others would be taken away from u one day.

one thing I dont understand is we all call for one Nigeria but we dont want to practice it, the only crime igbos ever did was migrate, even some of this minority from ss and the yorubas if like there numbers were like dat of igbos in some states thats not theres, there would hv been a big problem, igbos that oncd they are in a foreign land try there best to avoid any form of confrontation with there host are termed trouble makers, now compare us with the fulanis who are also travellers and there has been recorded attempts of them coming to other states and commiting sm gruesome crime with impunity, fulanis kidnapped a yoruba leader and they said they were just mere criminals and nothing more, why an igbo man honoured an Obas visit just because he wore his hat the entire yoruba land wants to burn.

In Rome do as the Romans do! This is the way to be accepted and respected but not by foolish pride and show-off!

Bear in mind, I'm not Yoruba but i'm only giving candid advice.

Of course, there are millions of Ibos all over Nigeria and they have every right just like the natives to be there as citizens of Nigeria and cannot be called immigrants. But wherever you go, there are the aboriginals or natives whose tradition must be respected. This is part of our African heritage.

Rayhut:
Freedom of association is allowed in Nigerian constitution, Igbos are free to have Eze Ndi Igbo in their state of abode, if they have a community of Igbos that come together and decide that a particular person will be their leader, there is nothing wrong in it, but the said Ezeh should not interfere in the affairs of the king of the native of that town or parade himself as King because it is just an appointed post by his people and not a real king. About recognition, the governor and Obas should not recognize them as king, they should recognize them as a representer of his own people. Group of people speaking the same language and living outside their domain suppose to have a leader to protect their interest, that is why they have Sarakin Fulani, Hausa in Lagos.

The Sarkin hausawa(s) and Sarkin fulani(s) never and will never disrespect their hosts.

It is the y1bos that disrespect their hosts.

Lol! See concocted story! Who told you that was what happened?
The real truth is that after the Oba warned the eediot and installed a leader in the market, the eediot went ahead to gather his comrades to protest in front of the palace. It was that moment the Ondo youths descended on him and his fellow eediots!
Imagine, protesting on our land and outside the palace! Were they planning to beat the king or what?
Shameless people!

Trut:
A Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere Renewal Group, has denounced what it described as an unrelenting desecration of Yoruba culture by the Igbo communities’ obsession with having a crowned king in Yoruba domains.

In a statement on Friday, the group said the title of Eze Ndigbo in Yorubaland is not backed by any customary law and is therefore considered alien.

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.

[s]I am waiting for those jokers of Ohaneze to issue their usual lame ultimatum of going to ICC.

They do not have an iota of resoecr for others.

To them, yorubas are dirty and Aba and Onitsha are like the way they are. There is no place in the whole of yorubaland that is like those despicable cesspit of Aba and Onitsha.

To them, every other person is lazy because they are not into following their crime infested lives. At best they are involved in a no brainer of sabotaging our economy by dealing in only importation of fake products.

Bunch of clowns[/s].

One nigeria does not mean you have to disrespect other culture and tradition.

Afeniferere are bunch of confused old fools who decided to chase rat when their brown roof house is on fire..
Fulanis have been desecrating their land and kidnapping their obas and they never coughed.,so how come eze ndigbo (igbo affair).,is giving them insomnia ??

This generation of yorobass are FOOLISH AND DEVILISH !!

wirinet:
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.

I am happy with whats happening I wont lie, everything is just going exactly as I planned it abd prayed for, doh I pray igbos dont loose there life during the transition.

Careful what you pray for, you just might get it.
Would achieving biafra mean Ndigbo would not have Eze Ndigbo anywhere in what is left of Nigeria. Does it mean also that Ndigbo would not live and trade anywhere in Yoruba or hausa land ?

What exactly would change for the Igbos in diaspora (what is left of Nigeria) after achieving Biafra?

Aareonakakanfo:
I told Igbos yesterday that the Yorubas in Ondo state don't mess around,they thought i was cracking jokes because i added smileys. They're even lucky its in Akure,if it was Ondo town, that eze might have been killed.Igbos think its the regular owambe-loving yorubas they see in Lagos they're dealing with . I kind of feel sorry for Igbos tho, they getting excessively fvcked these days

lygn19:

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 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.
