The Obi of Onitsha,though well-reknowned,is not the foremost King in Igboland nor is he the custodian of Igbo culture.
He's deserving of respect and accolade,but you went overboard with that.

I don't like arguing unnecessarily but I will educate you over this. Obi of Onitsha is the only king in Igboland you can mention on the same page with Emir of Kano, Ooni of Ife and Oba of Benin. In otther words the Obi of Onitsha, Emir of Kano, Ooni of Ife and Oba of Benin are the frontline kings in Nigeria and even in West Africa because some of them dates back to 1500AD. Coming to Igboland, Obi of Onitsha is the most influential and most recognized among all other low lying kings.

*sigh*
I won't even go Igbo-wide,Anambra state alone will suffice.
The Onitsha monarchy,though presiding over a well known city,does not and cannot hold a candle to the Eze Nri and the Igwe Nnewi.
Being popular does not a custodian of culture nor foremost King make.Onitsha monarchy is but a baby placed beside the antiquity of Nri or Nnewi.
If any traditional ruler in Anambra should lay claim to being custodian of Igbo culture,it's the Eze Nri followed by Igwe Nnewi.
Go check how the Traditional Rulers Council in Anambra is ordered,backed by law,before you make more childish show of yourself.
Btw,the Emirship of Kano may be popular,but his overlord still remain the Sultan of Sokoto.
You would educate me over something you know nothing about,smh.
Let's not detract from celebrating a worthy monarch,an awesome heritage.Just cool it with the overly enthusiastic verbiage.

You don't get the point. I understand your position of the Eze Nri and rest of them. I am telling you that the most recognized kings in Nigeria are Obi of Onitsha, Emir of Kano, Ooni of Ife and Oba of Benin. These kings are classified as the first class kings in Nigeria. There influence is far reaching because some of them are in the major cosmopolitan cities like of Emir of Kano, Obi of Onitsha and Oba of Benin. Even of Oba of Lagos(stool) is equally kicking because of the city the kings live.

Ordinarily,I would have taken a switch to your backside for that bit of stupidity,but I see you're still high on the euphoria of Agbogidi's Ofala,so I'll let it lie.I'm old enough to have fathered you.

Jesus.
You still don't get it,do you?.Being presiding monarch over a popular growing city does not make one foremost king and custodian of an ethnic nation's culture.That's what I was correcting you about.Rather than note it,you dug in like a stubborn tick.
Get this,Agbogidi Obi Nnaemeka Alfred Achebe is not the custodian of Igbo culture nor foremost king,though the most well known,in Anambra state not to talk of the Igbo nation.Learn to take correction.

This nuisance stop disturbing us here with your silly argument. He has made his point and I and so many others believed him. Igwe Nnaemeka Achebe is the foremost king in Igbo-land. He is the most revered as he has received visitor who came to pay homage from and outside the country. He is equally very powerful as his words can ignite the people as the foremost king in Igbo-land. If you can't accept that reality then go and kill yourself. Simple! cool

These are the most powerful kings of Nigeria(Ooni of Ife, Emir of Kano, Obi of Onitsha and Oba of Benin). You don't mess with them, though some are late but their dynasty is what we are talking about.

The following Anambra traditional rulers are culturally above the Obi of Onitsha as there are tasks they can perform for Ndigbo that the Obi of Onitsha can never perform

1. Eze Enugwu-Ukwu na Igwe UmuNri
2. Igwe Nawfia na Igwe UmuNri
3. Igwe Enugwu-Agidi na Igwe UmuNri
4. Eze Nri (the custodian of Ofo Nri-Menri, the highest ofo in Igboland, jointly owned by the 4 principal Nri towns of Enugwu Ukwu, Nawfia, Enugwu Agidi and Agukwu-Nri)

Arguably, kingdoms like Oraeri and even places like Aguleri, Igbariam, Nnewi have powerful claims that will trump the Onitsha claim.
It was Zik who pushed the Onitsha monarchy when he held sway as a frontline nationalist, to the detriment of more deserving kingdoms, but traditionalists know the main traditional dawgz and the pretenders.

I'm old enough to have fathered you and that bit of flotsam you quoted.
You would teach of traditional institutions you know absolutely nothing about.Tell me,how does that work in that alternate universe you appear to dwell in?
