Before now, nobody actually cares about all these things.

But we Yoruba have come to understand Nigeria better. When you try to be civil and look away, people actually think you are mumu. That’s why that tag “Accomodators and liberal” is a dangerous thing.

Ordinary Edo state they can’t try this there because those one go show them shege. But imagine the effrontery in trying this in the domain of the largest single ethnic bloc in Nigeria.

Why do they love title so much? Could it stem from the fact that their ancestors never have an established kingship kingdom, so they somehow just have low self esteem of trying to have the tittle “king”.

DomPerignon:
All these nonsense shows that Ibos do not have any regards for their hosts but most alarmingly, they don't even have any respect for their own traditional titles.

You can never see an Igala man declaring himself the Attah of Lagos or an Effik doing same and claiming to be the Obong because they understand the importance of their rulers back home and know not to ridicule the position by claiming such both within or outside their land.

But ibos do not respect their rulers and that's why they have this thing I refer to as Autonomous Kingdom syndrome which if you have been to the SE you will see it dotted every 5km.

Autonomous kingdoms are breakaway kingdoms that sprout up over kingship tussles. A section of the purported kingdom led by an usurper will rise up and carve hamlets out of their village kingdom and declare it independent and himself as the new king.

This autonomous kingdom syndrome is unique to the SE especially in places like Anambra , Imo and parts of Enugu.

It is unique to ibo land because they never had kings or kingdoms nor an empire to begin with just clusters of villages that went to war regularly against each other.

What they refer to kings today originated from the British created Warrant District chiefs that were positions created to instil a sense of centralized leadership. After the civil war , the Gowon military govt decided to elevate them to full tractional rulers as what is seen across Nigeria to act and serve as a go between the govt and the ibo populace.

Then came Nollywood with their brash and fictional movies that overemphasised on non existing ibo kings which later inspired usurpers to create their own kingdom from within another.

You can see how some of them on this thread do not understand the level of desecration committed by these old clowns in trying to crown one of theirs as the Obi of Lagos because such behaviour is normal to them regarding autonomous kingdom! Syndrome and the fact that they can never appreciate how tractional tittle holders outside the SE are revered and respected by their people.

This lack of cultural heritage in the SE and callousness and arrogance of not wanting to respect the traditions of others that leads to this madness.

Why leave the Southeast to claim lands and accord yourselves titles in other regions and even nations?!!

Buhari4dullard:

HydraFeeds:

I guess it's the Aro confederacy gene .

ComeToJesus:
Can they allow Oba of Onitsha?

What's really wrong with them?

Same shii is going on in Ghana...

Can't they just make money and go back home to become kings?

Na wao!

This is the malnourisheddd pipu proclaiming themselves as Obi of Lagos. Such effrontery.

Now they will cool off in prison just as the previous Eze Kirikiri.

Special thanks to the Ronu people on Twitter for seeing that the Lagos police deal with these guys.

This is why we demand for state police so we can always have a responsive police force and protect indigenous people right and ensure there is no breakdown of law and order.

Beremx:
charged for what exactly? What crimes did they commit? What are you afraid of? Why are you afraid of Igbo people?

Beremx:
So what will they be charged for and what is their offense? Why are you panicking because of a mere program concerning Igbo people?

The fear of an Igbo man...

zeuss:
Self acclaiming cannot and does not break any law.
Enforcement authority that arrested this man should do their legal job and leave this sort of idle distraction for jobless people.

Franklyspeakin:
Lols but emirs exist. People only see who they consider their enemies shaaaaa. No be lie

TechSkill:
When you people are done with your actors for hire, come and meet Nigerians at the poll.


You are just wasting your time on a strategy that will not work. Better go and meet INEC and pay them well.

learnedman:
Most Africans have little minds,how can a cultural content constitute a crime,no wonder Nigeria has never attained greatness. If it was in Europe or America,would it have attracted this kind of attention and reaction? Igbophobia is a reflection of disease of the mind afflicting a vast majority of Nigerians. Little contricted minds can never attain greatness or prominence but always languish in mediocrity and backwardness
