Oga you should understand scarcism when u see one. We need to respect our host but some people have this mentality of causing trouble for themselves.

There was no indication your statement was sarcasm!
Your statement alone can really escalate the issue.
Besides, how many would understand an indirect meaning from a direct sentence?

I can't understand this silly obsession with titles especially amongst igbos. Can't you just respect yourself and have a president or chairman of an association in diaspora? any small thing person don drag iron condemn throne and stick come outside, it's really embarrassing.
What are you trying to prove?
This is behavior also seen amongst black Americans post-slavery , could this be a result of the unspoken oppression by the Nigerian contraption as well ?

a good research topic for sociology students out there

The Igbo would appear to have learnt little from their experiences living in the space settled in by others. The same attitude that got the Igbo bad Press in Nigeria is what they have displayed in Ghana.

If we pull out our investments from Ghana, can the economy survive it? They should ask Lagosians about what happened in the stock market when we nearly pulled out.

Up till now we are still receiving thank you messages simply because we later stayed back.

I don’t even know what to call it either hate of fear of Ibo community because Yoruba and Hausa have their respective leader (call it King for Yoruba) with no fear of hijacking their land.
Ibo should just leave their country I come back home abeg

MyExpression:
Does he rule over any kingdom or people?
That's a ceremonial title with voluntary followership

He is saying he is a king and wants to establish a kingdom in Ghana

There is surely something interesting here, as majority of black Americans trace their roots to the Igbos. The need to overcompensate, loudness and boastfulness, insistence on clannish behaviors all resulting from low self esteem

franchasng:
Much ado about nothing

Igbo kings in Igbo land don't even command much respect except few first class kings of ancient Igbo kingdoms like Onitsha, Abiriba, etc, talk more of an ordinary young man that decided to give himself a frivolous title in a foreign land.


It's the Yorubas that made people to start seeing this Eze Ndigbo in Lagos, etc as a big deal. They have no weight, their respect end within their circle of friends but out of envy, jealousy and hatred you guys are making them look big and powerful.


Abeg that's una wahala jareh, black Africans and making unimportant people popular with their jealousy, envy and hatred, tufiakwa

If everybody is complaining about you, don't you think it's time to look inward instead of deflecting blames. Self awareness is not you people's forte anyway

Some people from this tribe like trouble and love to be disrespected. What is this? Why The few who obviously suffer from some sort of complex and mental illness are so loud and out of control. This is completely unbelievable.

You now see that when Yoruba resist, it’s not hate. No other society, not even Oyinbo will ever accept such effrontery.

Mariangeles:
It is an embarrassment to Igbo people, and disrespectful to the people that accommodated them.
I mean, who crowns a king in a foreign land?
Why not chief, or one of those head titles? Shameless lots!

No "Igbo king" outside Igbo land is recognized as king.
These ones are those that have forgotten their lands, and their way home.
I'm sure there's a perfect term for them.

I guess it's just a way to feel connected to their roots but like U said a cheiftaincy title would have made more meaning but their ego and inflated pride will make men do and undo. And that they're not even recognised as kings or title holders back home says a lot too. It's all shades of wrong

Emnyte:
are your governors, lawmakers, politicians and elites class interested in this your so called biafra? If yes why are they not championing it? Why are they not sponsoring referendum or doing something about it whatsoever? It seems the whole biafra thing is only pushed by online ipob touts and villagers. If the people that matter and have the power to push it effectively are silent and not doing anything about it then I don't think anyone else can help you.

Nobody asked your help. Just stop opposing it and writing endless propaganda against a good course. You claim you did not oppose it but your fathers fought war to keep Igbos with you despite the leadership of Igbos agreeing at the time to exit Nigeria, you didn't know about that part of history? Of course we know that politicians might not support it because they are part of the fraud Biafra wants to take care of, but you ordinary citizen, what have you been benefiting from the one Nigeria?

certainly there seems to be some compensating going on.

Ghanaians are being insecure for nothing. There's nothing wrong with a group of people in a foreign land forming an association and appointing a leader. Or is there no freedom of association in Ghana? There's Igbo Community in Kano with their Eze and it has never affected the cultures and traditions of the Hausas there. Not to talk of a country as big as Ghana with ancient traditions. They're worried that an Igbo association is a threat to them. Well, I think the hatred for the Igbos have been brewing for a long time and they're just looking for an avenue to air it out because this doesn't make sense in any way.

ZoomTravels:
The funny thing is if they really wanted a country of their own, they simply need to vote in governors and politicians who support the cause. But we all know this is a struggle rooted in greed and corruption. No single person is holding them back, looking at them I compare them to danfo drivers who are squaring up to fight but keep telling non existent people to stop holding them. They are the very ones who cannot survive without the consumer base and environment the people they despise create.

It's not just about them. The people who sat down to draft the arrangement for this country where from different parts of this country and had their own interests at heart. Every generation of military or civil leaders since then has been thesame. You think they are fighting a fight for all but they are for themselves.

Once their plans start failing, they throw in the ethnic or religious card. Ojukwu was not fighting for Biafrans, he was part of the Nigerian military. When things didn't go his way, he turned around to use the Biafra card. He proved that when he contested for presidency. A man that led a war that claimed millions of Biafran lives had no excuses wanting to president of a country he wedged war against.
Gowon himself wanted to keep power and of cause would rally his men along religious and ethnic grounds. We saw what happens at the last elections when Tinubu wanted power at all costs but obi had the advantage. They just threw in ethnic brouhaha, the next thing that happened was that yorubas who were in support of obi began working in Yoruba interest and then threats to Biafrans in Lagos.
We saw how the north defended buhari even though he was clearly an abysmal failure.

What am I trying to say?
We have a people problem. The issues are within us.
I often get to wonder how we are so similar and yet so different. How the they manage to pull us together?

Ghana has different tribes and religions but hardly hear of conflict. They have a strong sense of national consciousness and ethnic religious tolerance

It's been debunked ,no such protest anywhere against the igbos

Jeje247:
Even this is going to be an issue cos there are areas that are being pointed as Biafra regions but the people have clearly stated severally that they don't want to be art of Biafra. Are you going to force them into Biafra?

Do you force people that were originally Biafrans into becoming Biafra?

What's clear is that there's a space called the old Eastern region, and those areas are Biafra land, anyone opposed to identifying with the original owners of the space might not really be interested in remaining there

Did you watch the video and see the guy in a throne? They don't trivialise issues there.

Similar issue played out recently in Benin city when some Hausa/Fulani wanted to crown a leader in the city last year. They even rented a hall and printed invitations. That plan was shot down immediately by the palace. Next thing you will hear in 50 years time is one mythical story of how they landed from the moon on to the land 2000 years ago

Now Ghananians are jealous of the igbo tribe just like Hausa and Yorubas are jealous of them.

ILoveNG:
What’s wrong with “president igbo community” “chairman Igbo community” “Igbo people’s association” ?

That is exactly what they are.

There is nothing like Eze Ndigbo outside Igbo Land. It's just a poor choice of words

It is the Igbo men who have made too much money that has allowed that money get to their heads to proclaim themselves king.

You cannot be king if you are not indigenous to a land and born into the royalty of the people of that land

ZoomTravels:

there appears to be a correlation amongst groups with a history of oppression.

So you are going to chase them out of the lands because they refuse to be part of Biafra? The aniomas, ikwerres, etc?

Evilthoughts:
Why are you people always causing trouble for other Nigerians with this your useless talk,do you realise that this kind of talk might cause xenophobia in Ghana .

Waited for such submission
Why ignite hate as if na only una be Naija
Learn to stay your OWN lane
This is one of the attributes gotten from Sir Ajayi......

Commentor:
Just like Fulani.

You can't give them one inch.
Na wa.

How many of your land have they forcefully take? How many of your farm and women have they taken forcefully? How many people have they kill in your community? Eze Ndigbo are not meant to govern a non Igbos or enforce any law against anybody. It's just a ceremonial something.

NSK4U:
Stop advising Igbos, support the Biafran course so you don't even share a country with Igbos, it's that simple

Those who want something should go for the thing by themselves. Support is not by force.

muhammaduyusufu:
https://mobile.ghanaweb.com/blogs/zeqblog/Ghanaian-Youth-Rally-Against-Igbo-Kingship-in-Fiery-Demonstrations-Over-Cultural-Concerns-12517

No one should do stuff like this.

Yet, our people keep on with this.......I hope Nigerians will not become pariahs in Ghana because of people installing kings in countries where they are strangers.

Ah......

mikeapollo:

Nobody asked for your support, just steer clear off or continue complaining of being dominated and writing endless propaganda to discredit Igbos, since that's all you can do

Very wrong.

It's like a slap in the face of your host.
They made you feel free and welcome, you wan show say na you get sense pass.
Why not respect boundaries?

If it's allowed, imagine what will happen in the next 2-3 generations.
So, let's say the truth, and not call it "nothing".

You don ever hear oba of Bini something-something outside Bini kingdom?

Wetin bad, na the first time wey you hear/see you go know.
When you ignore it, it becomes "normal" overtime.

Na so Fulani people take start. 🤣

Bendeco02:
Black are their own problem.

I have watched two of the man video where he explained and cleared himself.

You sold land to the man, what's your concern if he buit Houses, Schools and Hospitals?. They are complaining that Nigeria need Hospitals and Schools more because we don't have standard ones

This is just hate, some people have issues sha

They won't have any issue having Chinese community in their country.

This is just insecurity. I have listened to their video and found no point instead already piled up anger they have for Nigerians in Ghana.

Their lamentation is that Nigerians there are kidnappers, Arm robbers, Ashawo e.t.c

The man already cleared that he is just a chief for Igbos living in Ghana and they are crying that he is having much power because they sees him rolling with most of their leaders.

If this man is a chinese, they will be happy seeing chinese people and their community in their land

trying to justify nonsense, will a Chinese man come to Ghana and start calling himself an emperor?

Does igbo have an indigenous community in ghana that they are awarding themselves chiefs?

The next thing you will say is Ghanaians hate igbos.

NSK4U:
It's why you should be fighting tooth and nail to make sure there's Biafra. By then, you will become the Eldorado that Igbos have been stopping you from reaching.

Nigeria won't be Eldarado without you but it will have some peace without noisy victim mentality people who make excuses about victimization because they have failed to dominate in politics because of their uncouth tongue and immature way of handling things.

Ibadanfarmroad

They have started accusing Ghana of hate and jealousy against the Eboes

Unbelievable.

Everywhere they go ,it's the same story even here in Southy ,they cause problems for us,and when the locals come out to meet them ,they claim victim, hiding behind xenophobia and jealousy.
