Adaure4ever:
Obiano is not wearing his image cloth today. Lols.
Obi of onitsha is very matured and has some class.
Obi of Onitcha, Igwe of Nnewi and EzeAro of Arochukwu.
Three traditional monarchs that I admire in the South East.
Don't forget the descendant of Heaven, His Majesty, the Ezenri, the custodian of the sacred throne of Eri, the Son of Gad, the son of Jacob. Am from Abia, but my primary allegiance lies to my King, the Igwe (Son of Heaven) of Igboland.

ArmedRobber:
Onitsha extension of benin stoogegrin

Before u qoute me. Answer this question..?

What is the meaning of OBI in igbo..?

Why is that every monarch in igboland is either known as EZE and IGWE but obi of onitsha is different.?

Why is obi of onitsha dressing different from all monarchs in igboland ..??

Why is OBI of onitsha dress like benin monarch..?

Why is that any OBI of onitsha must make sacrifice to all dieties in benin kingdom after he ascends throne..?

Why did Nnamdi Azikiwe said Onitsha people re not pure igbo descendants..?
Obi is purely an Igbo language. Every head of family in Igboland has an obi, let's just call it his oval office nd receives dignitaries there. The Obi passes to the eldest son at the demise of the father. The Obi Gad (Obi of Gad, the son of Jacob) is in Nri. There is a section of the Sacred Palace that is known as Obi Gad. The descendant of Heaven (Igwe), the Ezenri presides over proceedings at the Obi. Obi is not a corruption of Oba, nor does it mean king. The Obi of onitsha is formally known as Igwe Achebe, the Obi of Onitsha. Onitsha was a kingdom under the former ancient Nri Empire, an Empire that precedes that of Bini. FYI, the Obi does not dress like the Oba, there are similarities, but dresses mch like the descendant of Heaven.

Our people know little about ancient kingdom Nri, Eze Nri is sacred Igbo leader all Igbo kings allegiances to, Nri ji ofor Igbo that's what is called, he is not like other Igbo kings.

The Kingdom of Nri (948 - 1911) was the West African medieval state of the Nri-Igbo, a subgroup of the Igbo people, and is the oldest kingdom in Nigeria. The kingdom was a center of learning, religion, and commerce in pre-colonial West Africa. The Kingdom of Nri was unusual in the history of world government in that its leader exercised no military power over his subjects. The kingdom existed as a sphere of religious and political influence over much of Igboland, and was administered by a priest-king called the eze Nri.The eze Nri managed trade and diplomacy on behalf of the Igbo people, and possessed divine authority in religious matters. The eze Nri had the privilege of making the Oguji, or yam medicine, which he distributed to all towns that subjected themselves to him. In exchange, people from surrounding towns would come in and pay tribute. Traveling delegations carrying a palm frond (omu) were considered protected and no one would attack or harm them.For many centuries, the people within the Nri hegemony were committed to peace. This religious pacifism was rooted in a belief that violence was an abomination which polluted the earth. Instead, the eze Nri could declare a form of excommunication against those who violated specific taboos.

Eri 

Eri is said to be the original legendary cultural head of the Nri-Igbo, a subgroup of the Igbo people. From oral and recorded accounts, he is said to come down from the sky, having been sent by God (Chukwu). Eri settled and established in the middle of Anambra river valley where he married two wives. The first wife, Nneamaku, bore him five children. The second was Nri Ifikuanim, the founder of the Kingdom of Nri (Umunri), while the other children founded settlements of their own.Nri Ifikuanim migrated from Aguleri, the ancestral temple of the people, in search of a place of settlement. His second wife Oboli begot Onoja, the only son, who founded the Igala Kingdom in Kogi State.

Dawn of Man

Divine Eri, eze Nri; priest-king to the Igbo people, the heavens have granted us your grace, and we are surely blessed. Through the pursuit of peace and harmony, you forged without arms an allegiance of the Igbo communities which would become the Nri Kingdom. For centuries, Nri would stand as a realm of great prosperity and, uniquely, as a place where slavery was forbidden, and where all escaped slaves were welcomed as free men. Today, the religious authority which you once held remains as an integral part of traditional, Igbo society, and the devout legacy of your people lives on.
