you are a very f00lish bastard for saying this. God punish you. Thunder fire you. Who made achebe the foremost ruler in igboland. You need to go back to nursery school imbecille like you. Idi0tic bastard.

Ofodirinwa:
It's a very primitive and foolish practice. Autonomous Community frenzy has turned every tom dick and harry into an Eze and an Igwe.


None of this is relevant.
Congrats to the Obi of Onitcha for his celebrity. Asaba is older than Onitcha and Onitcha started as an extension of Asaba. Let everyone play in their own lane

Chiwude:
Nwanne this is the problem I have with some Ignorant and misguided supremacist amongst us. The authority of the Obi of Onitsha ends in his area let alone nearby Obosi and Ogbaru. It is even an insult to say he is the custodian of Igbo culture. The same applies to every King in Igboland.

Dhugal:

*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.

bros am not saying that you're wrong Agbogidi is not the custodian of Igbo culture we are onitsha we're not igbo but we love igbos as brothers

mike404:
LOL YOU ARE FUNNY BRO IGWE NNAMEMEKA ACHEBE IS NOT EVEN MORE POPULAR THAN LATE IGWE OSITA AGWUNA (EZE ENUGWU - UKWU NA IGWE UMUNRI)

Dhugal:

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.

Eze Nri and Igwe Nnewi would come before Obi of Onitsha.

But don't forget that Igbo culture has been messed up by moneybags. Without his wealth, Igwe Achebe will not be influential.

Just a side note, even some towns today have retired and professional 419ers as Igwe. That's how much Igbo culture has been dismantled. Go figure!

Very unnecessary choice of words. Totally off point as everybody understood wat AnamCity implied and as it stands today, that is the truth.



The Obi of Onitsha has distinguished himself and is now the acting Nri Priest or Eze Nri.(The Custodian of igbo culture.)



Nri Priest or Eze Nri has to come from somewhere in igboland and all road at present leads to Onitsha.

Dunce shut up. We are not saying because Obi of Onitsha is the most influential and most powerful KING in Igboland that by that stand he is ruling the whole Igboland. We are saying that he is the foremost KING in Igboland. All other kings with the exception of Eze Nri and Igwe Orizu of Nnewi are all inconsequential village rulers.

AnamCity:


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.

murphyibiam15:

thank you so much for this dear...if i had more than one like i would have given u..simply stated: igbo enwe eze.
most ppl.dont know this above igbo proverb is true..nothing makes obi of onitsha foremost igbo king...before now the igbo have been largely living amongst their communities with a king and council of elders just as onitsha is inclusive.think about the great kings of Arochukwu; Ohafia and Edda.
the obi of onitsha is just popular bc onitsha is a commercial city.
we just have ourselves as igbos bc we came under a bigger body called NIGERIA and our respective cultures in igboland vary greatly and we are somewhat heterogenous and thats why it seems the igbi is naturally un-united in Nigeria.
Though i rep obi of onitsha...he's a very well respected king

THUNDER4real:
People argue unnecessarily, :The following are facts:
There's no king given full recognition by the ibos.
Obi of Onitsha is the only recognized king in Nigeria and International wise from the East.
90 to 100% of people living in the East has heard of or know Obi of Onitsha.
96% to 100% of individuals(hausa, yoruba, ijaw, Efik, Tiv etc.) that schooled in Nigeria has heard of or know Obi of Onitsha.

cocaineaddict:

that is why you will die an untimely death cos you keep on encouraging lies and wrongdoings. Ugly lying baboon. Achebe is only recognised in igboland cos of the popularity of onitsha (his jurisdiction). Apart from that he is just as ordinary as the king of ohaozara community in ebonyi state. F00lish idiot like you. Go to hell

I have never heard of Igwe Osita Agwuna.

Stolen:


That is not true becos we have kings in Enugu, but they are not popular(powerful) for now.


It is down to personality and hard work. That Igwe is tall, visible and influential. There have been other Obi of Onitsha but not this powerful.


The Obi of Onitsha is working and today is the acting Nri Priest or Eze Nri. (Custodian of Igbo Culture)
