Igbo Enwe Eze (the Igbo Have No King) by InovativeCritic: 8:37am On Feb 15, 2016

In recent news your forgotten leader, Kanu had to put up an act, so he can be remembered by his fair whether supporters that are only aggressive online and not offline. Its a pitiful state he is in; the wild horses he rode on have taken him to a place I doubt he is pleased with.



Igbo enwe Eze (The Igbo have no King)
This is a common phrase in the eastern part of Nigeria, one every Igbo man should be proud of cause it implies the Igbo people embraced the concept of equality and democracy before any other ethnic group in Africa that had Kings.

Then again this tells us an issue with succession they might have. If the eastern group of Nigeria should ever successfully exit this country. They will be plagued by internal wars on who to lead the new nation forward, it would be the case of Libya, where all the people united only for a common goal to dethrone Gaddafi and after that was achieved they entered turmoil because they didn't have an adequate plan.

The Igbos boost about how industrious, united they are as a people, how their leaders support them and vice versa.
Hence when they felt marginalized by the current administration, they deemed it fit to exit the country with pride and honor. Yet that's false, this administration placed two extremely fundamental offices in the hands of two the Igbos or at least the easterners i.e Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu and Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele.

I advise all my eastern brothers to stop placing comments on Facebook and other social networking sites unless you have precise goal after your exodus from this country unless you seal the fate of Libya as your own.

What did you learn from your first attempt?, Nothing? . Take a moment and think about how wealthy the eastern people would have been if they remain part of Nigeria when Oil was discovered. If they didnt not try to exit the country, they would have been welcomed to the table when the Oil wells where being shared and most wouldn't have gone to the North.

Your failed plot crumbled your generation, now the real Bread was shared among the wealthy while your people where impoverished by the shrewdness of the Gowon Administration were given crumbs.

Do not blame the Administration at that time, but blame yourselves and learn from the lesson of greed that handicapped your people; wanting all the Oil to yourselves left you with nothing but crumbs. Even your leader went on exile and later came back to run for Office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, a country he almost destroyed but failed to win and later died as a Nigerian. He famously said that leading the Igbos was like trying to tame a wild horse.

If you ever do succeed, be aware that for the first 20 years foreign investment and forms of international borrowing wouldn't be an option also prepare internal stresses that could lead to a civil war within your new.

In conclusion have a justified reason and plan why you want to live this country and where you are going to with steps on how you are going to reach there.

@InovativeCritic
IGBO Enwe Eze is a word misinterpreted and misunderstood!
IGBOS had monarchies even b4 the coming of the white man and also mixed it up with a democracy style with Ndi Ichie as senators.
- The Oldest Kingdom in Nigeria history is NRI KINGDOM founded by IGBOS and ruled by Eze Nri.
Nri is the birthplace of Igbo Civillization(IGBO UKWU)
Eze Nri Enwealana II Onyeso, CFR is the current and reigning Eze Nri and custodian of Igbo Culture, Religion and Deities.

....
- Aro, Nnewi, Aguleri, Onitcha are Pre colonial Igbo Kingdoms.
- We practise both Monarchy and also Democratic style even before the white man came.
