What did you just say?

You guys will just come online to yarn carelessly grin

When we talk of respected or most regarded Monarch in the East not only Anambra, that's Obi of Onitsha.

Monarch is not Nnewi thing. You can just talk of business/trade. For traditon, leave it for Anambra North and Awka
True, because the igwe of Nnewi is 99 years old. Igwe Nnewi is more powerful than the obi of onitcha.

Nnewi had king before the white men came. You can make your research too.

Pulling down a structure to build another is not a wise decision. Those buildings could serve as historical monuments for generations to come. They could acquire another place for such a structure.

Not true, my brother. The Obi of Onitsha is the most powerful Igbo king, even recognised by both the colonial and Nigerian governments.

People like Innoson and Coscharis should join Ibeto so that we can have something like White House at Nnewi. I have never heard anybody saying something bad about Igwe Orizu.

Oga you're yarning dust and still do that boldly.

Why are you emotional?

No.1 Monarch system in the East is Obi of Onitsha.

If you have issue with Onitsha that your personal problem and it can't change the fact.

Apart from Nri, most of these kings you mentioned don't exist before the white came to Nigeria. White recorgnized Onitsha monarch when they arrived.

Have you seen where Eastern Kings gathered and observed their leader?. If the president or so want to visit East and see traditional leader, Obi of Onitsha is who they know.

Who knows igwe orizu outside Nnewi?
From what you are saying, it is definitely fact that you are not from Anambra state or maybe an Igbo. In the cultural dynasty of Anambra state as it is structured, obi of onitsha is not mostly regarded as a reverend igwe in that state. His infulencial no doubt, but when kings with great cultural value is talking, he wouldn't dare to speak.
Igwe nwafor orizu is in the category of Eze Nri, Igwe osita agwuna na Enugwu ukwu (Late), Eze amosu na Mbaukwu, Uzu awka, etc. Orizu is a living ancestor and can't be compared to a political king of onitsha. Mind you, most of this kings like Osita agwuna Na Enugwu ukwu had more opportunity to make himself a political king, but he followed the odinala and rejected the white man's lobby.

Make Ibeto no disappear after pulling down the existing structure undecided

This is what typical Nigerian contractors are known for - pull down existing structure and take years to put a new one.

Read what you just typed and ask yourself if you made sense.

Apart from Nri and Obi, howmany other monarch existed in the east before the wihite came?

You can believe anything you chose but fact remain unchanged grin

Igwe of Nnewi is not as powerful as Obi Cubana not to talk of Obi of Onitsha.

Why pulling down the old palace to build a new one??
I so much believe in the preservation of history.

The old palace shouldn't have been pulled down rather a new one should be built beside the old one.

oldest monarchy indeed but certainly another British appointed warrant chief! Let us stop building castles in the air...........Ndigbo had zero monarchy b4 the British came!
Exactly.

kaltonga:
You see the reason why we asked your likes to go learn history? If you are conversant with history you will know that when the Portuguese arrived the Ogbo territory, they met a certain monarch in NRI that's around mid 1800s , the Igwe they met at that time was the thirteenth Igwe on that throne..This was long before the Fulanis came with their trouble..so go get your history before you say things you don't kniw
So can you tell us where the ancient saying "Igbo enwe Eze" ("Igbos have no kings"} came from? Or are Nnewi not Igbo? Also, how come there were no "chiefs" in Igbo land before the Biafran war? Also, WHO made Orizu king of Nnewi and on what basis?

Why? It is people like you that hang unto tradition even when it is no longer useful or has even become harmful. What you do is, you preserve key items or elements that'd remind of the old palace then tear it down

Although decking takes 21 days to cure properly, I have seen banks built within 5 weeks. From the scratch. So, it depends on the type of structure they want to conjure as a palace.

Zenith Bank in Festac near 1st gate was built within a month and half. Work was ongoing day and night. They used floodlights to illuminate the site at night.
I have constructed a 6 bedroom duplex in 3 months

Yes suspended slabs takes betqeen 21 - 28 days to cure, set and proper development will take place. It doesnt stop you from progressing with the superstructure ( block setting) immediately after the concreting of the. slab.

“ What kind of palace is Chief Ibeto going to build in 3 months?
Is the palace going to be built with Lego blocks or prefab units?”

Your words.
If those words are not negative, how else would a right thinking youth define them? Someone set up to build a property in 3 months and there you disputed the fact. Or you did not reason that the builder had planned it effectively, along with the King and the palace, who would be would have to manage for the duration? Or you looked at it a a government project that should go on endlessly?

Who talks like “people with no grey matter”, between us and you after reading your initial comment again?
