[s]The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu was allegedly sent away from the palace of Obidiegwu Onyesoh, the traditional ruler of Nri, a community in Aniocha local government area of Anambra state, for reportedly violating tradition.

Speaking with journalists in Awka, the state capital on Thursday, Ifeanyi Onyesoh, personal assistant to the monarch, said Kanu and his supporters attempted to force their way into the palace.

“They tried to forcefully open the entrance gate of the palace and it was this unruly conduct that made the traditional ruler to telephone the security agents who responded promptly and dispersed Kanu and his supporters,’’ Onyesoh said.

Onyesoh said Kanu and his wife, Uchechi, and supporters violated the tradition of the town during their visit on July 19 and that the people were angry.

Onyesoh said a day before Kanu’s visit, 12 young people came to the palace of Eze Nri requesting an appointment with the traditional ruler.

“I was the person that received them and so I told them to go and come back with a written letter so that they will get official reply from the palace since the delegation looked unusual, in that there was no titled person among them,” he said.

“At this point, they all left and what we saw the next day was Kanu visiting Nri community with a huge crowd of his supporters.

“He (Kanu) went straight to the house of one Chief Shadrack Mbanefo, a subject of the traditional ruler of Nri.
“The feelers we later got, was that the said Mbanefo claimed he handed over the `Offo Nri ’, (symbol of royalty) to Kanu, and even allowed Kanu to visit the historic ‘Ohianwehi forest’ revered as ‘forest of life’ by Igbo tradition.
“This forest is believed to be the place the first burnt offering was offered by the Jewish Igbo ancestors when they migrated from Israel more than 2,000 years ago.”

Onyesoh said Nri people considered Kanu’s conduct as a taboo because no high profile visitor entered the community without first visiting the traditional ruler, “let alone a sacred place without the knowledge of the ruler”.
He said the people regarded Kanu’s action as an affront on their values and so resolved not to sweep the matter under the carpet.

“It is a taboo in Nri and equally against the Anambra state traditional rulers’ council law for a high profile visitor to visit a community without first paying homage to the traditional ruler,” he said.

“The people of Nri and her traditional ruler are not against Nnamdi Kanu and his agitation/aspiration but what we cannot take is for Kanu to come and mess up the Nri culture and tradition under whatever motive.

“The community will drag him to customary court to ensure that nobody else gives such insult to the community and its heritage.

“If Kanu wants a title, Eze Nri is not aware of such aspiration.
“If Kanu indeed met with anybody and claimed he was given `Offo Nri’, it means he is seeking the title through the back door and for the title he claimed was given to him by `Adama’ (Mbanefo ), a servant to Eze Nri, is a nullity.
“Nri is the ancestral home of all Igbo people and for him to visit Nri in the manner he did means he has no knowledge of Igbo tradition and culture.

‘’So, he must first study Igbo tradition and culture and properly be advised before he misleads himself.’’

The only thing wrong with what kanu is doing is the language and insult he is using towards other tribes in his struggle for biafra. He can get biafra without having to insult others and provoke unnecessary fights or hatred. The south west and other southern region should speak up about wanting to leave Nigeria to form a country or better still be more vocal about restructuring. Yorubas especially need to speak up and put pressure on the FG concerning restructuring or getting their republic. People should not just leave kanu alone to be doing the fight. I am very sure if Kanu succeeds today with biafra, many other tribes will want to have their own countries. If that is the case, why aren't they speaking up.

Other regions need to let the north know that they do not have absolute power over Nigeria. Yorubas are probably keeping quiet because they have Osibanjo as VP and probably thinking he might become president if anything happens to Buhari. Well we all know the fulanis won't accept this. Even if Buhari decides to willingly resign today, the fulanis will do everything possible to frustrate osibanjo out of power and if they don't succeed, they'll definitely start another trouble to destroy his government. It will be funny to now see yourubas clamoring to leave Nigeria if the north refuses Osibanjo or insist that the north must continue to rule. The north can NEVER be comfortable if they are not in power, they will always create problems if they don't get power. This will never stop and if it's never going to stop, the solution is for everybody to go their separate ways.

Kanu doesn't need to insult anybody. He just needs to keep pushing and never relent. He must tell is followers never to engage in any form of violence , hence the FG sees an opportunity to use it against them. Whether every Nigerian likes it or not, the country will split at one point IF the northerners continue with the born to rule mentality. You cannot be saying ONE Nigeria and believe that you are above others.

very childish, and also talks more than acting.

They always feel threatened by igbos, why ? Because they are jealous of our success.

This story doesn't add up. We didn't hear much from his side of the story.
Even his so called attorney didn't sound like he went there to defend him.
I can never support or sympathize with rapists.
But I hate to know that most "sex offenders" were actually framed up.
