They are so quiet and peaceful. You won't even know they are there.

gawu1:
Very good! If we can have Eze of Lagos and Eze of Kano, why not have Oba of Enugu? What is good for the goose is also good for the geese.
Let us see what IPOB terrorists will do.

PulaPower:
Which wailing?

Is there no Eze Ndigbo in all SW states?

PulaPower:
I said that cuz you intentionally omitted *Yoruba community* in your headline..

There’s nothing like Oba of Imo state! It’s Oba of Yoruba community of Imo state..

Which one is the one about Igbos? Don’t Igbos have Eze Ndigbo in all SW states?

LegendHero:
THem suppose flog them .

Oba of where. Who crown them Oba? Under what authority?

There are obviously Ibo people disguising as Yoruba.

PigTormentor:
Up

You mean the way you people were beating APC voters in the East during the last election? Oh I forgot, you are always blind to those things in the East, n only SW you sabi see. Hypocrisy

You can send those fake Obas out, we don't care. No one will even wail and cry about it like you always do.

ibedun:
Exactly! By our culture and tradition that’s nonsense. It’s pure yam leg and female hairy chest propaganda!!!!

Nwanne, REST!

casualobserver:
stop celebrating nonsense or trying to use the unjustifiable to justify the nonsense you do with ill motive in other people's land. the title Oba means King.

First of all an Oba is a King. To be called an oba there must be historical obaship and kingdom. Who is his ancestor in ibo land that made him Oba? Who are his subjects, where is his kingdom? where is the land that belongs to the crown? Even in yorubaland someone like him would not bear the title of an Oba, at best he would be a baale or community leader.

For any yoruba man to declare himself an Oba in another man's land is sacrilegious and an abomination.
If you allow nonsense, or allow any ill brought up yoruba man to call himself Oba in your land probably because you dont know what it means to be an Oba because it is not part of your culture, that is your business but dont use it an excuse to declare Ezes or justify nonsense in yoruba land.

T9ksy:
Abi o jare!!!

Who even sabi them for yorubaland.Any yoruba oba anywhere without any iota of royal blood is a nonentity to us. We don't reckon with them.

jogojogo:
They are not nuisance and would never be nuisance to their host unlike the noisy neighbours who wants to dominate their host and condider every good will as an act of foolishness

TyroneP:
It seems you're naive to some things. Let me educate you. There are cultural/ethnic groups across all Yoruba land and across all states of the Federation. For example, Igbos have their association in all states in which they meet from time to time. If you're outside the Igbo-centralised states, locate one and start attending meetings. Most Igbo merchants participates in these meetings, they can direct you. Association/Communities exists. Kingship is what is forbidden.

Chucks13:
Hello biko guys stop all these petty political gambling it doesn't make any sense.

Nothing like Oba of Imo and Oba of Enugu anywhere. If you say oba of Yoruba in Imo and Enugu not Oba of Imo or Oba of Enugu its all fake and politically driven nonsense to cause another nonsense tribal jabs.

Provide the date, the video evidence and who coronated them?

Una no dey rest

Kurugu92:
in addition they will never present a candidate to be voted for during election

IDERAWOLE:
You dey make me laugh.

Why are you guys just interested in grabbing things outside of your domain?

If you like replace them with your governor, that's your headache.

Sirjamo:
How can we feel inferior to ibos? We practically feed you through patronage.
We have the purchasing power, you have the products, we buy with our money. If we don't buy, you can't feed.
At least, 80% of your customers in Yoruba land are Yoruba. So how can I feel inferior to you in my own land?

IDERAWOLE:
Cite anywhere those innocent people you go carry come take foto has stated that they built IMO or Enugu State.

Where have they claimed that the place they reside is a no man's land?

You guys are just funny people.

According to history and sociology/social anthropology, the Igbo society is stateless. I'll take you as one of my students, now listen.
The Igbo society is referred to as stateless in Nigeria because, traditionally, it did not have a centralized system of government or a single ruler like a king or chief governing the entire group. Instead, political authority was decentralized and based on a republican system where decisions were made collectively through village assemblies, councils of elders, age grades, and titled men. Each community or village governed itself through consensus and collective participation, reflecting equality and shared leadership rather than hierarchical control. This absence of a central political authority led scholars to describe the Igbo society as a “stateless” or “acephalous” society.
Eze translates to a King and there can never be two kings in a domain or kingdom. There are way of doing things in Yoruba culture which is quite different from Igbo. Igbo system may allow proliferation or duplication of King or Royal titles outside their kingdoms but the Yoruba culture forbids it as the saying goes, "Oba ba lori ohun gbogbo" (The King is supreme amongst all creatures)
Oba ni alase ikeji orisa" (After the gods, comes the king or the king deputizes the gods) Nobody jokes with the king title in Yoruba land. What your culture permits might be forbidden in another culture.

LagosOrigin:
Igbos are the true lovers of Nigeria , it's crystal clear.

The Igbos are tolerant on there home land and accommodating . It has been proven many times .

Believeintruth:
Just as no one sabi those Eze's that are outside igbo land. So you cannot be spreading bigotry anyhow

Christistruth00:
Such Titles are unconstitutional

Believeintruth:
But Lagos was not entirely built by Yoruba naaaa it is a fact.

ayoncox:
As a Yoruba boy I hereby declare this as nonsensical. Why should there be a Yoruba Oba in other man's land of different ethnicities, this is so so wrong

Believeintruth:
Eze doesn't translate to King. It is Obi that is king basically.

Believeintruth:
Oga hide your face in shame.

xxxx999jon:
If them born them well make them come Yoruba land and call themselves Oba of anything..bunch of clowns..it has been said long time ago no one should call himself Oba of Yoruba community in any foreign land..there are other names they could AV bear like asiwaju..Olu..olori etc not Oba a sovereign.

TyroneP:
Now listen, In the Igbo language, “Eze” means king or traditional ruler. It is a title given to a person who holds authority and leadership in a community or kingdom. The Eze serves as the custodian of culture, traditions, and customs, and often acts as a spiritual and political leader. While traditional Igbo society was largely stateless and republican, some Igbo communities, especially in areas like Nri, Arochukwu, and Onitsha, developed monarchies where the Eze played a central role in governance and cultural preservation.
So, in short, “Eze” and “Obi” can both mean king depending on the community, but “Obi” also carries the cultural meaning of the heart or center—symbolizing leadership, home, and unity. Many Igbo communities use the “Eze” title, though others may prefer “Obi,” “Igwe,” or “Ochi” depending on local traditions. Each title carries similar respect and authority but reflects the community’s unique history and identity.

Examples of communities in Igboland that use the title “Eze” for their traditional rulers:

1. Eze Nri – in Nri, Anambra State; one of the oldest and most spiritually significant Igbo kingdoms.
2. Eze Aro – in Arochukwu, Abia State; the traditional ruler of the Aro people.
3. Eze Enugu-Ukwu – in Enugu-Ukwu, Anambra State.
4. Eze Ngwa – in Ngwa land, Abia State.
5. Eze Awka – in Awka, the capital of Anambra State.
6. Eze Mbieri – in Mbieri, Imo State.
7. Eze Nkwere – in Nkwerre, Imo State.
8. Eze Mbaise – in Mbaise, Imo State.
9. Eze Ogbunike – in Ogbunike, Anambra State.
10. Eze Owerre – in Owerri, Imo State.
