You are. Right.... Kanu can never apologize for saying the truth

The best way to insult a misbehaving elder is


By saying your mind when it pain and then you can apologize afterwards

At least despite your apology, the insult will still be ringing bell on their ear

YORUBA is different in terms of respecting the elders

so part of the respect is telling lies to appease the elders ?

Sunday Igboho is a very good example of the type of people we call alagbara tio lero (a powerful fool). In yorubaland, if you insult kings and elders, you will lose sympathy. When I watched the video where he insulted a whole Oonirisa, I knew it will not end well for him.

You see the difference with igbo... The igbo are very republican and the kings are there as mere figure heads... They don't have any power ... The power is in the hands of umunna... A kind of parliament where things are debated upon


You don't respect a stealing or rapist old man .. do you?

Ooni and Sunday, who is older? How is the Ooni an elder?

[quote author=longetivity post=98718487] YORUBA is different in terms of respecting the elders[/quote

Been elderly is not in age or status but in ability to stand up for the truth when the need be,how can you call someone who doesn't care about you an elder...thats the problem with Yoruba people always claiming to be respectful but to a fault...yoruba's are the easiest to buy over in Nigeria

Amos 3 vs 3. Yorubas are mannered and cultured. We don't disrespect elders and if by mistake we did we always apologize because Yoruba adage says "omode le laso bi agba sugbon ko le lakisa bi agba" aska aYoruba person around you to interpret to you if you don't understand.

It's not by age. The Ooni is the king of Yorubas worldwide. So he's the elder by status.

“They said I insulted him”. But everyone saw it and heard it. Respecting elders has nothing to do with tribes. Truthfully Igboho expresses the minds of the oppressed farmers and travelers but he chose the wrong words in that occasion. He must also be careful as he is within the reach of security agencies.

Every reasonable Nigerian needs quality leadership. We all need to move forward and get out of the Fulani Stone Age behavior. This evil Fulani behavior must be put to an end in all states where they think they can misbehave freely. Everyone feels oppressed by the Fulanis and they must not be allowed to return to the presidency. Abacha/Yaradua were Fulanis yet the heavens did not fall over Nigeria.

But I think Igboho’s actions may be subverted by some greedy leaders.

King schming. Let the king stop the herdsmen. It's not just to beat your wife and wear white.

God in heaven will continue to be with this man,,he has proved to be a leader,,you will never fall Mr igboho

Apologize for what? that why I love the Igbo culture.An elder cannot be respected by the people,when he is after his own personal gain.

how's it working for you since civil war?

longetivity:
YORUBA is different in terms of respecting the elders

Respecting elders who can't speak and defend his people in times of killings, raping and kidnapping of his subject.

The problem of average black man is his brain, He can't reason.

Note: respect is earned not demanded.

We rise by lifting others.

Don’t come here and say what you do not know.

“They don’t have any power”. Who told you that? If Kings don’t have powers why do the people refer cases to him to handle? Why do the people make complaints to him? Why do the people look to him to speak with governments and governors on their behalf? Please choose your words carefully when you speak about Igbo Kings. Even those from autonomous communities are well respected and honored by their people.

You can say those words when you have an irresponsible king and they are in every tribe.

So according to foolish Igbos reasoning now Ooni of Ife is now working against Yoruba's interest ?! To de read from cursed Igbos like you don tire me I swear na beating lunatic like you suppose de chop for street with the level of foolishness you display on subject that does not concern you in anyway.

Yorubas are more cursed. Useless VP, useless Obas. The only useful person is about to turn useless.
Always afraid to face your fears! Make una dey there, soon they will add Ondo, Ogun and Osun to Illorin

Wise man, our great hero, over a hundred million Southerners are with you. Nothing must happen to Sunday Ighoho, otherwise what happened recently will be childs play...Sunday Ighoho is fighting a righteous cause. Nothing must happen to him.

Seem like you have never been caught in a losing mode. Where someone to be representing you begin to dance across the truth, it vr hurt and painful and can make someone lose self respect. He has apologized, the best thing to have done. This guy is a Messiah.

exactly my point, igbos are too impetuous, they aint tactical, i will always say it, their blood too dey hot, they should sit and draw their blue print instead of just jumping up and down at start acting once the thought comes to their head.

I don't know of wife beating o. But it seems the Ooni wears only white by tradition. He's cute though.

You are not ready yet, not until you people looking this saboteurs in the face and warn them to stop sabotaging the Yoruba projects for their personal interest you can not get any good results, some may have to go to make it work,if you know you know.

who is Ooni? It just a pity we have this kind of people in power be it Ooni,Alaafin or who so ever all these so called elders, religious leaders and those traditional rulers are the sole beneficiary of the problem I could remember few years ago there was a crisis between Hausa and Yoruba in Ile Ife do you know that the leader of Hausa were flew to Ife and arrested some baale there what is the response of the Ooni then everyone of them keep mute.i have no respect for them all . freedom fighters don't have friend

Abeg Sunday matter tire me jare... Na God hand we dey now...

Shuuut up! Igboho wey first call Ooni saboteur na igbo man abi? Be there deceiving yourself..

Its alwsys about the bigger picture

Fcvk Ego

Sensible step you took

We appreciate the steps you took. Thinking you can do it alone is very unreasonable. Tongue lashing the Obas is not advisable and not acceptable.

You have spoken well by your action, you dare it all. You told our leaders, Obas in Yoruba land to wake up and surely they will.

Please be careful of unnecessary popularity, one thousand voice that is not equal to one, miscreant who want to profit from your ovation.

@hotwax your usual name calling and curses are expected.

princemillla:



No matter what you still don’t abuse the elders. Whether they r doing the right thing or not but one thing am sure of is their decision will consume them and their kinsmen!


More reason why I supported this guy wen he said he won’t go back to oyo to face the supposed waklili, he is a lone fighter with backlash at home

Exactly, we respect our Elders no matter the circumstance

Ooni of Ife make a move shows he's not comfortable with the oppression of his people but me I insist that, no leaders traditional or political deserved respect if they continue to keep silent on the killing of their communities



who respect EPP in the face of death? Nonsense

Flackoo:
What shall it profit a King to protect his throne and lose his People!!!

So many griots sat us down to tell us about tales of great men of Yoruba cultural history while we were young!!!

Balogun Ogunmola
Efusetan Aniwura
Bashorun Gaa
Fabunmi Okemesi
Balogun Ogedengbe
Kurumi
Great Lisabi of Egba
Ajayi Ogboriefon

Add Yours!!!

Trust me one day Igboho will go up there on that list as one of the greatest Yoruba hero of all time
