The Afenifere Renewal Group, ARG, has expressed support for the stand of the Deji of Akure, Oba Aladetoyinbo Aladelusi, against the continued existence of the Eze Ndigbo title by South-easterners residing in the town, the capital of Ondo State, Nigeria.

The Yoruba organisation on Thursday described the Eze Ndigbo title as unsubstantial adding that the stand of the Akure monarch would help to put the South-west and its culture on a pedestal.

The ARG said this act by the Deji of Akure would go down in the history of Yoruba nation and amongst other nationalities as noble and needful.

According to the organisation, “contrary to what many particularly the mischief makers have been saying, this move has the potential to strengthen inter-ethnic relationship as it eliminates the friction points amongst nationalities, be it in Yorubaland or elsewhere.

“There is no gainsaying that the structure of Eze Ndigbo outside Igboland is deployed towards an expansionist end, with possible occupational intent.

“It is our conviction that the Igbo community in Yorubaland does not need to have a king, since by Yoruba custom, two kings cannot coexist in a domain.

“Yorubaland, from time immemorial, welcomes and encourages trade associations and development unions and their activities are supported by Yoruba people who are ever tolerant of settlers amongst them.

“We therefore want to reiterate our proposition to the heads of executive governments in Yorubaland and other traditional rulers that the title of Eze Ndigbo, or any other monarchical title that is alien to Yoruba customs, be scrapped in all Southwest states.”

Nice one.

bia bia fraud

I support this move. There is no need having any form of Eze Ndigbo outside Igbo land. It is a pity that Ohaneze is no longer useful otherwise they ought to have addressed issues like this long before now. We could have Igbo leaders in places where there are large number of Igbos but calling such a person an Eze (King) is very unnecessary.

@Setaje how are you? i missed ya. No sweet pix on your profile again?

It is very shameful Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo leaders didn't issue one statement concerning this issue. They have long lost their value.

Honestly. Kings should sit in their domain or kingdoms so I wonder why we have so-called Ezes scattered all over Nigeria, makes no sense to me. Ohaneze Ndigbo are busy looking for money every where and are no longer relevant. Anyway, I like all that has been happening recently because our people are being brought back to earth with a bang. Imagine calling Lagos which shares no boundary with the East no man's land just because we have very good representation in the state population. See a lot of SS people on nairaland distancing themselves from the IPOB madness because they don't trust our people. If we can call faraway Lagos no man's land what are we going to call SS lands if they join this Biafra? When you try to talk common sense to our people thet curse you and even call you Yoruba. I smh..

Correct. I like all that has been happening recently because it will reset the minds of my Igbo people. Let us go and develope the SE and take it to enviable status we refuse. Instead, out of greed and selfishness you see different Igbo men scattered all over Nigeria calling themselves Eze Ndigbo, what a big shame.
