The leadership of the Igbo community in Akure, Ondo State, swallowed its pride on Friday and begged the Deji of Akure, Aladetoyinbo Adelusi, following two weeks of hostilities between the Igbo community and the palace. The Deji had vowed to obliterate the position of the Eze Ndigbo of Akure, after the title holder, Gregory Iloehika, allegedly insulted the traditional ruler. Iloehika, was accused of rude behaviour at the Deji’s palace, an action which angered the Chiefs and resulted in a war of wits between the palace chiefs and Igbo traders. The crisis had started two weeks ago with the leadership tussle between Igbos and Yorubas at the Mojere Market in Akure, but became widespread after the intervention from the Deji’s palace were resisted by the Igbo traders. Iloehika was said to have made uncomplimentary remarks against the Deji in Council, and was immediately walked out of the palace by the Chiefs. Viewing the action as an insult to the traditional stool, the Deji ordered the closure of the shops of the Igbo traders as well as the business premises of Iloehika along Cathedral Road in the heart of the city. Iloehika’s position as Eze Ndigbo was also nullified, with a declaration that he should no longer parade himself as the leader of the Igbo community in Akure. In retaliation, the Igbo community also responded by closing their shops in strategic markets in solidarity with their leader, causing some hardship in the town. The spare parts markets were almost grounded and vehicles owners and mechanics had problems getting parts for vehicles needing repairs. The intervention of the Ondo State Government to resolve the matter culminated in Friday’s peace meeting between the palace and the Igbo community. Led by the President of the Ohaeneze Ndigbo, Ondo State, Okechukwu Okorie, the Chief of Staff to the state governor, Kola Ademujimi, Oloehika and other members of the Igbo community prostrated before the monarch, seeking his forgiveness. Speaking on behalf of the delegation, one Anoliefo said the Igbo people had found Akure a hospitable place in the last 100 years and urged the Deji to forgive their errors, promising that such action would not repeat itself in the future. Responding, Oba Aladetoyinbo said he had pardoned the offenders, promising that their shops at the markets would be opened on Saturday. Oba Aladetoyinbo thanked Governor Mimiko for his intervention as well as Akure youths for their peaceful disposition all through the crisis. He however said the position of the disputed Eze Ndigbo would be considered at the council of Obas which would hold next week.

I pity anyone that supports this ban, cos Buhari is now fighting FOI law that allowed APC to excel . Banning of APC will be the beginning of the dark days for the media under Buhari's govt.


TVC and Sahara reporters were never banned even when they were broadcasting lies against Jonathan govt.

My friend, do you understand English at all? Buhari bar and not ban AIT. Take for example with your mobile phone which I believe you have. You can bar someone from calling your line but this does not necessary mean the person cannot call others using the same phone or network. Buhari is not yet president and he has the sole power to decide who participates in his personal affair. He has decided pls respect his choice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have personally observed that gospel musicians especially from the Christian folks hardly sing Love songs (romantic) that can be enjoyed by Christian couples. No wonder most young Christian couples have no choice than listen to LOVE SONG sang basically by NON-GOSPEL Artists e.g Iyawo mi by timi, yori yori by bracket, fall in love by D banj, no one bi like you by P. Square etc. while most elderly couples opt for traditional love songs; just to enjoy and give a nice treat to the partner especially when the atmosphere is romantically charged.
Pls share your opinion

If you care for them that much, you can go and die with them in Indonesia. Fullstop.

The last time 3rd mainland bridge was closed for maintenance work, can u tell me what they did on the expansion joints?

Do u know How old that bridge is?

Did you just said maintenance? Brother let's reason like mature, educated and well enlightened fellows. Thank God you said maintenance. The 3rd mainland bridge was closed in order to repair and fix the worn-out expansion joints that were previously fixed. The same was done to murtala Mohammed bridge lokoja sometimes ago. They shouldn't be fixing an expansion joint long after the bridge has been completed and commissioned. It should have been fixed while the bridge or flyover was still under construction.

kunlej2:
there is no crack on that bridge.
what happened was that the contractor was trying to fix expansion joint on the bridge and has to cut that section and the whole event was misinterpreted

Mr kunlej2, there was a crack on that flyover and I saw it cos I live and work in kano. Do you even understand the concept of expansion joint? Have you ever seen where an expansion joint is been fixed long after a bridge or flyover has been completed? I will like to refer you back to you physics (linear expansivity) if you are a science student. Leave sentiment and politics out of this pls!!!!!!!

kunlej2:
does that look like a crack?

What does it look like? Let's forget about sentiment and politics. Peoples' lives is at stake here. I live in kano. My office is opposite the said flyover. I saw the cracks....... A double crack for that matter.

The fibroid is not the problem here but the location of the fibriod. My wife gave birth through vaginal delivery even though she has a fibroid which is still there till now. I will advise she goes for another Ultra sound scan for the last time b4 her due date. In order to determine the actual location of the fibroid cos as the pregnacy advances and foetus continue to grow, there's often a constant change in the position of the fibroid. Wish her an uncommon Miracle from above

prophet suleiman prophecies has indeed come to pass. Don't know why some people are just delighted and happy at bad news.
