I am the second issue in my family and a boy that came after a girl....In Omanbala culture women are not expected to cater nor provide for the family rather its the sole responsibility of the man to take charge and provide for his family. I contributed in raising my elder sister in the University and she finished and to married. End of the road. Today I am taking care of all my family problems including my non-working parents,three siblings in the University and everything that comes with it. Its very tough to be the first boy in an Omanbala household. And what do we get? You get to keep your father's "Obi" when he passes,becomes the head of the family even while your mother still lives and performs all the rituals during "Igbankwu",burial and other customs.

[quote author=Negro_Ntns]I dont know much about the igbo monarchy and their roles...I know the titles but dont have a clue how the titles rank in terms of roles .

For example, using the ones I know.

Ooni of Ife is a Priest-King title and the overall first tier ruler of Yoruba race.

Alaafin of Oyo is the political King of the Yoruba sovereingty (not the race, only the sovereingty) and tributes from all Kings in the commonwealth must go to him.

Omo N'Oba will pay tribute to Ife but not to Oyo. Oba of Lagos must pay tribute to both Bini and Oyo.

In North, Sultan is the Priest-King of all Emirates (not the fulani race and not the hausa race....just the conquered thrones or seat of political power). Therefore, even though the Kanuris are muslims, they do not pay tribute to Sultan. All the Emirates, including Ilorin pay tribute to Sultan but the Yorubas do not.....this is why they have the Balogun.

Each Emirate is autonomous and sovereign and the Emir draws tribute from Sarki (King) of sub domains.

So to rank the monarchs as the op requests will be difficult without first understanding their roles, tiers and functions. You cannot lump a Sarki of Gumel for instance with Emir of Katsina.[/quote]Get off your high horse,Ode....Well,I'm at work right now but I will confront your post later.

Eze Aro is not a religious leader.[/quote]I was gonna correct that,too....Eze Nri and the Sultan is the only are the only Kings\religious leaders we have in Nigeria.

Na today...Enugu sacked all civil servants of Anambra extraction after Enugu was carved out of the old Anambra and the state capital went to Enugu....Not only that but Onoh also went around claiming all the lands owned by Anambrarians out of jealousy..."Pride of the East my" my a..ss!

musiwa7: they should shoot some of you for telling lies.. there was nothing call anioma , champion newspaper and followed later by thisday and sun were the once who came up with the idea. go into old nigeria newspaper in the early 40, 50,60,70,80's, you will not find that word anioma in any newspaper in Nigeria. I will give $1 trillion if you find any word like that..

You are hilarious! Goodnight.

P

musiwa7: we are talking of ownership of land.. benin are the owners of the law. not igbo people.. so since igbo move to abuja.. are igbo now the owners of abuja... the answer is No...it is because of the bridge that why, you do not know your history...

edo people was not benin city only.. the edo people had more than one town and villages before. not only benin city. it was moving of benin people that why people move from others villages to benin city.. One of the captain of your soccer team. I can take you to his home village in the east.. where he comes from ..

if you claim you are from that area ask your parent, where in the east.. you are from.. You are either from anambra state or imo state.. etc.. just ask your parent.. people dont ask their parent question like this in africa culture.. that why you think you are from that place.. You are from igbo land across the river..

is like the ijaws in the border of ondo and delta state.. they are not from ondo or delta state.. they are from bayelsa state.. people dont ask their parent question.

Are mentally sick ?? Which Bini are you refering to?? How did Bini manage to own Asaba land...The Oba of Bini can only claim ownership of Bini city and not the whole of Edo talk more of Anioma. You are a complete re.tard.

musiwa7: it is not ahaba.. it is azagba.. that why, all of the villages around it have benin names.. even agbor is not an igbo name, but a benin name..

You are completely ignorant of this topic you are trying to delve into..You know absolutely nothing about Asaba/Ahaba and the rest of Anioma....There was never a time Asaba/Ahaba was called "Azagba"!

Tusky44: So he wants to be addressed as Chief? Hehehehe.... OBJ the ugliest president we ever had. A president who made sure the country endured the abnormally high rate of politically motivated assassinations. A man who only woke up to fight corruption when he was about to get the boot. Hear him suggest we address him as a chief - a chief in his hometown anyway cos for normal folks, he is a nuisance to society.

He wanted to use Wilbros to steal oil and gas from Rivers State. He wanted to get a huge stake in Bonny Island and did all he could through the NNPC. I have one question for the old and haggard chief......what happened to Marshall Harry, Bola Ige, The Igwes, OGB, our beloved Chuba Okadigbo, Funsho Williams, the helpless residents of Odi & Zaki Biam, and many more unaccounted for?

OBJ, some of us really hate you and your entire generation hence you are in my daily prayer. AGBAYA

OBJ is a blood sucking demon.....He has destroyed somany lives...May God judge him!

somalia5: ayanle456 is a great nominee


i nominate this somali warrior from the ancient land of somalia

I nominate you for the hungry children of Somali...kpele!

Antivirus nwannem...Dude took the culture section by storm.

Fine and hairy toto...shikena.

Abagworo: Hope you understood my quote. This is fun.

Bros,I always seen you as a very intelligent gentleman but you have changed...This is what nl do to people!

Gaaaadeeeem! Wooooosaaaaa!

Onlytruth,PointB and Dede1....these guys exude enormous confidence and cool.

Chai,see venom! I am so tired!

[quote author=c.fours]Things fall apart indeed!![/quote]You are beginning to turn a troll...pathetic.

BlackPikiN: Adabeke Omalicha, kedu.
Sent you an email.

See this guy man oooh...fire dey burn u dey chase woman...jah jehova onye ebele!

Eko Ile: It's always the same stupid excuses. iboland was bleeped up and neglected and undeveloped by your so called achievers before the war when the west was delivering the firsts in Nigeria and Africa.

After the war, there's been ibo vice president, governors, ministers, directors, SGN, ministers, party leaders, senate leaders and reps leaders. Your states collects taxes and allocations juts like any other states in Nigeria so the question is, what have they done? What have hey delivered? Quit with all the silly excuses.

Lazy people and lazy leaders..

I know you are not refering to the Igbo as "lazy"!

Wow,this is still going and some of my Igbo brothers like DEDE whom I have deep respect for also fell for it! Very shameful...I am really holding myself from placing a curse on the creator of this divisive thread but I pray that they grow up really fast.

Baby mama: It is exciting to see someone capture some pictures of rural Imo and Anambra
Looks a million times better than where some people live in the large cities
Small thing you for enter my village
Loved the pictures to pieces
My best was where you were buying a bottle of cashew nuts,the smile on the face of that little girl was priceless

Keep them coming bro

Most places Okija covered in Anambra were rural areas aka bush villages but you can see that our villages look better than some Nigerian cities. Anambra is not doing bad after all. I like the development to be evenly spread.

seanet01: Typical chest beating that normally got you people into trouble.

Look mr, move along because nobody invited you here.

Paul John: A deep thinking person should understand the deceptive mind that has created this thread.
You feel there is a need to pass an obvious delicate fact to the public and still want to maintain your relationship with ur people on this forum.
Won't rule out the possibility of the OP been the impersonated ID, 'cause of his kins experiences on other threads.

You are a daft monkey! ! Look at this fool....You are not very wise,mumu! And what do you mean by "his kins experiences"? How can I impersonate myself and still use the same handle?

[quote author=c.fours]So this whole saga started from this thread: "Enugu Pride of the East"
https://www.nairaland.com/979128/enugu-pride-east/67


hahaha i can't shout
"get the mulla or die chasing it"
choi...na so?[/quote]Yes,and I stand by my words but dont mistake me for a "supremacist"... I never looked down on anybody but i strive to be the best i can be. I didnt join nl today. I have long before now established my views and stance on the Igbo agenda. So,before you start speaking from your a..nus i suggest you look at the Odenigbo closer!

0lumide: Uhh? CAPITAL NOOOOOOOOO! Your comment has a propaganda in it looll

Explain,sir.

odumchi: It's not normal for a giant python to crawl out of the stream and into a man's house, just like that. Besides, we don't tolerate snakes, where I come from.

Well,not all snakes...

Lasinoh: Oh shatttap!

WHO IS 'WE'? AND WHO ARE 'THEY'? See how confused you are? Yet, you can find a iota of fault wri?te-up presented by the OP?
DID YOU FIGHT ANY WAR IN YOUR PAST OR PRESENTLY USELESS LIFE?
Some other 'm0r0n' must have falsely interpreted and written that your BLOODY, NRI-priesthood exams for ya. . .while you were btw his or her thighs for sure!

Written like a morbidly-DAFT, native-doctor of rats and rabbits for sure!
GO SQUEEZE YOUR IGBOTIC-BABOONISH BALLS BETWEEN YOUR LEGS FOR STARTERS. . . something like brain-cells may just fall out when you 'scream' at the full-moon with eja-cu-latory pleasure for mastu-bating demons likey ya!

Nonsense!

You are a complete nuisance...this is such a waste of my precious time.

[quote author=E_KARO]TALK ABOUT RITUALS

ENUGU THE PRIDE SHAME OF.......? [/quote]You are very blind and ignorant just like your sister Ileke ode...birds of the same feather..smh

shymexx: Can you prove it, NRI PRIEST? - I need proofs!!

I was multitasking before but I'm free now, let's talk about it...

In the early days of the English invasion of Lagos,many Nigerians trouped into Lagos for trade. These same ppl paid taxes that was used to build schools,roads,hospitals and other institution. My point is that the greatness of Lagos was as a result of the combined contributions of all Nigerians.If for some reason today Nnewi becomes a mega city the Anaedo can claim they singlehandedly developed it and nobody will argue that because they made Nnewi what it is today.

shymexx: I don't talk shyte, I do shyte... If Godwon could knock niggaz out in Houston and run the streets of Houston with Scarface, what makes you think I won't slap ya brains out of your head in the same place??

Yo, I'm real nigga and I'll fvck a puzzy up if I need to, on my mums...

Dude,chill out...You gonna f..uck around spent the rest of ya life behind bars...Stop f..ucking with ppl ya don know.
