The Ga Traditional Council has raised alarm over a planned event titled “2025 Igbo Day in Ghana/New Yam Festival” scheduled for Sunday, 21st September 2025, at the Efua Sutherland Children’s Park.

According to the Council, the event, organized by Eze Dr. Amb. Chukwudi Jude Ihenetu, could disturb peace and security within the Ga State.

Referring to a previous press release issued on 9th July 2025, the Council reminded the public that the said individual had already been cautioned against holding traditional and cultural festivities under the guise of importing Igbo culture into Ga land.

HRM King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II has requested immediate intervention to halt the event and maintain order within the Ga State.

A self-acclaimed Nigerian king in Ghana attempted to shake hands with a Ghanaian king during a royal event What happened next got people talking as he was stopped by a royal official while trying to shake the Ghanaian king As the video went viral, netizens shared their observations about the embarrassing scene captured in the clip

The self-acclaimed Igbo king in Ghana, Eze Chukwudi Jude Ihenetu, was blocked from greeting the King of the Ashanti people, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, also known as the Asantehene.

Eze Ihenetu had attended the burial of the queen mother of Ashanti, Asantehemaa, which was being presided over by the Ashanti king.

A video showed the Igbo king and his entourage arriving in grand style for the event.

In another video, Eze Ihenetu faced an embarrassing situation when he tried to greet the Ashanti king.

The Igbo king tried to shake the Ashanti king but was blocked by the king’s linguist from doing so. As reported by Yen. com. gh, Otumfuo’s linguist, who was directing affairs, stopped the Igbo King from shaking the Asante monarch’s hand as other people had done.

Mariangeles:
What is the matter with Ghanaians?
Is this inferiority complex or what?
Or are they gradually becoming the new South Africans?

What is wrong with Igbos celebrating new yams' festival in Ghana?
This has become bullying.

They should bear in mind that their people are also here in Nigeria freely.

aswani:
It's their land so they can determine who can do what.

I believe Ga's also have New Yam festival and they do not wish for a duplicate one.

If some Ndigbo don't like it, of course they are free to leave Ghana or go and celebrate New Yam festival elsewhere.

Also, their people here are doing their things in the manner that the line caks are ok with.

This Eze Ndigbo of Accra guy has now added Doctor and Ambassador to his name and still wearing crown.

Mariangeles:
There is nothing wrong with Nigerians celebrating new yams' festival in Ghana or anywhere else in the world.

Hopefully, they're okay with it when the same treatment is meted out to their people in Nigeria.

Armaggedon:
you are the biggest patron of this "Nigerian" king. You make him trend a lot.

Goodvibes007:
Same man that is trending all over Tiktok, twitter and YouTube. Nairaland na small fry ooo

aswani:
If they don't want Nigerians (and we both know this is an Ndigbo thing) breathing in their land, it is their choice. Respect local people and their ways.

Their people here, just like Ndi Yoruba in Ghana, seem to be able to exist without seemingly causing offence to the locals.

Mariangeles:
Really?
Don't complain when your words come back to haunt you.

Guyman02:
Yrubas should have better things to think about than expending so much effort on an Igbo man living his life in Ghana

aswani:
If I am in a foreign land and they are kind enough to tell me they don't want me, I will vamoose immediately.

Why should I die ontop anoda persin land.

Besides, unlike some disrespectful people, on occasions I have been away from my homeland, I have ensured I don't do anything to make the locals consider me an unrepetant nuisance.

Goodvibes007:
Are the Yorubas now the Ga writing letters to the IG of police in Ghana.

The Yorubas are your nightmare.

stanluiz:
They will celebrate their new yam festival in Ghana tomorrow being Sunday.

Op, stop crying. You can't stop it.
