Monarchy makes a people docile, peasant like and subservient. The Obi of Onitcha is a title imported from Bini, the stool of Nri is that of a priest, not a king. The Eze Nri is traditional more like a priest or a Pope than a King. Most of the kingships in Igbo land are from the slave era and were strengthened/validated by the British because it made Igbo people controllable and sellable. Hardly something I aspire to celebrate. The Obi of Onitcha as a man is a man of great stature. His achievements as a man command the highest respect and he carries his culture with the utmost dignity and pride. No disrespect to him or other stools but the practice is very foreign and unnecessary. 99% of these ezes even fail to uphold their culture in their domains. A historic shrine was destroyed by a mad priest in Anambra last month. Tiv, Ijaw, Hausa and Nupe people knowing your name won't bring it back. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Dhugal: No, I don't. I don't care. We don't talk about Nnewi in my town, as people in that town don't talk about my own. Japan's emperor is the world's oldest, and we'll have a hard time finding someone that can name him w/o Google on this thread which is full of well educated people. and Chino. |

Ranting of a dunce. Obi of Onitsha is the most influential and most powerful KING in Igboland. His dynasty is over 500yrs which makes Onitsha the oldest city after Lagos, because Ajayi Crowther berthed in Onitsha. Accept these FACT or go and kill yourself. Choose one [s] Ofodirinwa:[/s] |

pazienza:Tell them especially those who carried it like trophy on their head. Obi of Onitsha is a first class king in his own right. The same goes for Eze Nri, Eze Aro, Igwe Orlu and Igwe Nnewi. Their jurisdiction ends in the locality they govern. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Ofodirinwa: Mind you there were people living in what is known as Onicha today,prior to the arrival of Ezechime. I don't know why you people are hyperventilating... Again,Obi of Onicha is the most influential and famous king in Igbo land but that doesn't make him the custodian of Igbo culture. 1 Like |

With the exception of Eze Nri and maybe Igwe Orizu of Nnewi, remove all those other little kings from the list. We are not talking about rural and inconsequential little kings. [s] Chiwude:[/s] |

GenbIoodykiller: Lol. I know. I was just messing about - OdenigboAroli the NriPriest of old from Omanbala, Odumchi, and Andre_Uweh should be able to tell you that I know more about Igbo history and culture than most Igbo people. We had our time back in the day in the culture section when the section was still golden. Not what it is today. However, the wrapper reference is always a weapon of choice when Yoruba vs Igbo hostilities resume loool. Anyway, I have got the Igbotic red cap though. Got it off my darg a few months ago and I wear sometimes when I go to naij parties. 1 Like |

chino11: In your dreams. Every Igbo town recognise only their Eze or Igwe as called in Anambra/Enugu axis. The towns of Nri and Arochukwu however at a stage had their Kings recognised beyond their towns but never had authority over other towns like Benin Oba or Alaafin. |

joeyfire: religious figurehead would make him a priest. Many villages followed Nri's version of Omenala as taught by Nri priests and came to Nri for spiritual cleansing and oath taking without being under Nri 'jurisdiction'. His role in our history and culture resembles an apex priest more than a King. 2 Likes |

AnamCity: Oga sorry o buh u took dis ur obi of onitsha hyping tin 2 far. So u mean the obi of onitsha is higher Dan the alaafin of oyo(one of d foremost west african super powers/empires),olubadan of ibadan(one of the foremost precolonial powers having vast territory/land almost the size of the entire anambra state!!),sultan of sokoto(leader of over 25 million Muslims),tor tiv(ruler of the entire tiv nation stretching from benue,cross river ,plateau nd taraba),olu of warri(entire itsekiri ethnic group),kanem bornu(bornu,some part of Chad,cameroun,)lamido of adamawa. It mostly an historical stuff not just because ur stool is within a metropolis. Is there even any know precolonial stuff bout that stool I would have no probs if u had just limited it to iboland I doubt if he is even taken serious in onitsha sef not to talk of the entire iboland nd then nigeria abeg don't go there sef.he should robbing shoulders with asagba of asaba 2 Likes |
