the oba of akure has advice ibo people to call thier leader OYENDU OF IGBO which means LEADER OF NDIGBO AND NOT EZE NDIGBO

Lushore1:


Your Eze won a crown to the king palace, he was asked to remove it and he refused and you are talking about winning.

Wait o!, are you saying it was your Eze who made him the King? ....Smh.

Jaideyone:
if your eze doesn't comply with customary laws he'll be flogged again. anyone that stands up for him will also be flogged. get the Deji arrested of file a civil suit and let's see the winner

modath:



Sarki is CHIEF, Yoruba has Leader .... None is called emir or oba!! & I'm sure none of them goes to the Obi's domain without first asking people around (incase he is new or a toddler who doesn't know the tradition of a place he has been for donkey years) how things are done in Onitsha....


You don't wear a crown to an Oba's palace unless you are a king of equal stature.... it is not done!!

Let's even leave that aside, we may all live in Nigeria but Akure is in the southwestern part of Nigeria & populated by a Yoruba majority which as it's extant in the republican/democratic falsehood most of you propagate, the same "sick demented" person has the paramount leadership position & has the right to give an executive order!!!! & like y'all hailed drumpf, it is HIS RIGHT to do so..

There is nothing the deji can do,the ezebdigbo of ondo can only be dethroned by Igbo's and not any insecure monarch. The right to freedom of association is a constitutional and fundamental human rights matter. The useless deji can go ahead and commit suicide come Feb 28

Gibberish
Who told u he wore a crown or r u a member of the Dejis cabinet. Make we hear word joor.always supporting evil,beats my imagination how u lot sleep at night

tifany89:

This is how we support impunity by our words n actions. Flogging a full grown man for whatever reason to u is right abi? Until ur father is at the receiving end.

Shayetet13:


Then stop talking about killing pythons. There is a law in Nigeria against indiscriminate killing of wildlife with jail sentences. So if Nigeria was to be a law abiding nation, you won't be killing wildlife anyways. So if you want to talk about culture, please choose another topic aside killing wildlife.

obstead200:

@ the bolded, that is exactly my point. If I live in akure, I can go around and proclaim to the world that I am the Eze of my family and my compound in akure. As far as I don't usurp the authority of the Deji of akure over the akure pple, I am entirely within my rights to rule my compound and my family.
That is exactly the circumstance we are looking at here. The eze ndigbo is not usurping the authority of the Deji. He acknowledges that the Deji is the monarch over all akure. His pple however selected him and said be our leader in akure. Be our representative in front of the Deji. As our tradition demands, we will call u 'Eze'. That is all. If not for spite, the stupid Deji need not worry his petty head over what the igbo chose to call their leader, as long as they did not crown him another Deji and as long as his activities does not usurp the authority of the dDeji.

Lightening:


Deji is the one that should go to court, unless he wishes to take laws into his hands. This time around, he will be thoroughly embarrassed.

Lightening:


Funny. You are as illiterate as your dumb deji. Take away a title he did not give? How foolish!

vanbonattel:


These people are chronically insecure. I can remember one unhinged Oba in Lagos who threatened his peaceful visitors to drown them in the lagoon if they refused to vote a particular candidate!

bundle33:
....u'are mad for sayin such words on this platform for elders...U Ibo are lunatics anmd full of pride that's the reason you will not smell president of Nigeria till enternity...take the post or leave Akure...well it can't happened in my area of Okitipupa/Ikale district...

OBAGADAFFI:


Is Ohaneze ndigbo one man?

You don't even know you culture

cyrilamx:
That why I cherish my Benin monarch...the bini culture forbids giving out chieftaincy title to non Binis. And no one can parade himself a monarch of any sort in Benin Kingdom. There is no such title as eze-indigbo or igwe in Benin. To be candid the igbos must learn to obey stipulated rules of their host community...the Deji ain't say you can't reside in his domain, rather he against u having a parallel monarchy regardless of whatever name it comes with...it is not about bring insecure as some igbos re posting here, rather a veil challenge to his regal authority. When u re in Rome, learn to live as the Romans. Such impudence can't be tolerated in Benin Kingdom. Nothing like Eze-indigbo...I guess Benin is d only city with such an exception.

tifany89:

Please let's be sensible n stop making wild allegations. Where u there? Dats how u people say things u don't know n makes it looks like it's d truth. Is dat the first time d Eze ndigbo will be going to d Dejis palace oga? Has he been wearing his cap? Why wld he refused to take off his cap? Stop spreading false rumours I beg in God's name

tifany89:

Please u r educated speak like someone dat is. U r arguments so far does not hold water. U know d truth but u r just trying to be partial here out of ethnic sentiments. How does d issue at hand has to do with u killing pythons? Ur analogy doesn't make sense n it is flawed. Quit looking at d issue from the surface coz I believe there is more to it. I don't see how wat a people choose to refer to their leader becomes a problem to anyone . Nobody is trying to usurp the Deji's authority or whatever. From the write up u will see d palace even solicited for the Igbos support for his coronation through the Eze ndigbo so wat den is the problem? The title has been there for long n even in Benin where I reside it's the same thing but u don't see d Oba insisting on choosing a leader or a title for the Igbos.

Okay. This is my opinion. In Warri we also have the Ndigbo-leader but we have no problem with them because the Igbos in Warri respect themselves. I don't think the indigbo-leader Warri would dare disrespect the Olu of Warri. If he did, we will make sure he is replaced sharp sharp. This is why I think that the problem is not the title but the disrespect of the Deji by this particular Ezeindigbo. The Igbos in Akure should do the following:

1. Apologize to the Deji for the uncouth conduct of their leader.

2. Accept the name change - this will show the people of Akure that you are committed to peace.

Please don't quote me with rubbish. I don't have time for little kids.

GodIsBiafran:

Gawd (while I do not support the Ezeindigbo title outside Igboland) why am I not surprised you are supporting the Deji? Typical Itshekiri man of course you will ALWAYS support Yoruba over Igbos. The Yorubas don't even recognize your people but you spend all your time taking their side against Igbos - grow up boy!

Jaideyone:
good you are the eze of your family not the eze of akure. some of you are just not smart enough to get it. disrespectful iPod yoots and empty pride are like bread and butter.
if you like call the obi of Onitsha he-goat and greet him with a sliding tackle but the moment you get to Yoruba land respect our customs and tradition

lie lie iPod yoot. if I kill a Python in iboland I'll be asked to perform some dvmbass rituals. it's your custom and I didn't kill a Python during my stay there. when you get to akure respect constituted authority. simple as ABC

Horllamideh:

The former king is not the father of the current king..... kingship is rotated between the royal families and it's sometimes up to 5 in a town. Call the Deji's order anything you like......There's even a clause for the King's stand on the issue "A means to check excesses". His say is final and nothing (not even the court) can stop it. The best any court can rule over the matter is out-of-court settlement and that put the Eze ndigbo matter in the hand of the King again.
