I have watched with keen interest the imbroglio currently going on between the Afenifere and the Eze Ndigbo in Yorubalands and I cannot stop to imagine how a man can claim to be a king of his village in another man’s territory where a real king of that land exists!

The Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere Renewal Group, seems to have just realized the negative effect this might later have on them as they are viewing this as an unrelenting desecration of Yoruba culture by the Igbo communities’ obsession with having a crowned king in Yoruba domains.

A chunk of the blame should first go to some Yorubas who have acted in the way of Esau by selling their birthright for just a plate of porridge allying themselves to the polity of the Igbos in the Yorubaland in decorating their Eze in a borrowed robe. It is globally accepted that there cannot be two kings in the same domain as there cannot be two captains in the same boat.

By asking South West Governors to stop recognizing Eze Ndigbo titles in their states is a nice move by Afenifere. How many Yorubas are Baales or Obas in Igbolands? Being a town's association president is quite different from being a 'king' in another man's land. I hope this would be settled amicably without brewing any tribal sentiment or become an impediment to our co-habitation.

Whoever wrote this shit is high on tribalism.

I think the Afeniferes are working on it and there will be a stop to the insult on the tradition of the Yoruba people.

The King rules every individual in his domain and no 2 kings can reign in the same territory.

They should abolish this crap and respect their landlords!

People with open minds will see this as constructive. The froward people only see Tribalism!
