Akure the capital of Ondo State, has remained grounded since Tuesday following a clash between Igbo indigenes and Akure youths.

The Akure youths accused the Igbos of disrespecting their monarch, the Deji of Akure, Oba Aladelusi Aladetoyinbo.

This followed the alleged refusal of the Igbos to obey the instruction giving by the monarch.
DAILY POST gathered that the youths were furious over the manner the Eze-Ndigbo of Akure, sir, Gregory Iloehike allegedly addressed the Deji in his palace, when he (Iloehike) was invited.

A palace source disclosed that trouble started between the Deji and Igbo residents, following the installation of an Igbo man as the chairman of one of the markets in Akure by the Eze-Ndigbo.

Oba Aladetoyinbo was said to have been angry, having felt that it was a taboo for an Igbo man to rule over a market in Akure.

It was gathered that the Akure monarch immediately summoned Iloehike but that to his surprise, the Eze-Ndigbo wore his crown to the Deji’s palace, an action said to be against the tradition of Akure.
Irked by his attitude and responses to allegations leveled against him, the Chiefs and some youths who were in the palace ordered him to remove his crown.

Deji of Akure was said to have suspended him from parading himself as Eze-Ndigbo.

This development sent a wrong signal to the Igbo residents, who mobilized themselves to the palace, ordering the Deji to reverse his earlier statement on Iloehike.

But they were unlucky as Akure youths flogged them out of the palace.

Since the incident occurred on Tuesday, the Igbos, who dominate the Oba-Adesida road have refused to open for business.

Rather, on Wednesday morning, they converged on their secretariat located at Gbogi Street, Akure as early as 7.00am and warned the Akure monarch against his plan to dethrone the Eze Ndigbo.

They insisted that the traditional ruler had no power to dethrone Iloehike.

The embattled Eze Ndigbo explained that he had not been rude to the Deji of Akure since he ascended the throne about six months ago, adding that he contributed immensely to the installation of the monarch.

According to him “the Deji called me around 8.48pm last sunday inviting me to his palace and I honoured his invitation on monday morning. I went with one of my Chiefs, but when I got to the palace, I saw youths numbering over 200 who started shouting as I entered. I suspected that the youths were mobilized by the monarch and I showed respect to the Deji by prostrating for him.

“The monarch while addressing me at his palace threatened to drive all the Igbos in Akure out of the city and when I asked for the offence my people committed, the youths at the palace descended on me. They tore my beads and removed my crown. They attempted to beat me but the Police officers at the Palace rescued me.”

The Eze Ndigbo said the invitation by the monarch was the first he would receive from him since the monarch ascended the throne, pointing out that Igbos had been living harmoniously in Akure for over 70 years without friction with the natives.

The spokesman for the Deji-in-Council who is the Asamo of Akureland, High Chief Olusanya was not in his palace for comments.

He also could not pick calls made to him by our correspondent.

If Yorubas wre lazy, they wouldn't have money to buy your products.
Obviously your business is not selling in your erosive enclave that's why you're running to the SW.
As per laziness, Igbos are number one. You call yourselves businessmen/women yet you're too lazy to create original products. You lazy morafcukers litter the market with fake and dangerous goods. Hardworking my azz.
Igbos are too disrespectful, prideful and hateful. What's so hard in respecting your hosts, their culture and land? Would Americans go to China and disrespect the Chinese president? Animals.
Patience is virtue. Yorubas are patient when dealing with leeches like Igbos.

Just watch how u spewed rubbish without addressing what caused the friction..

U complained about fake product because u guyz re very poor, It's only poor people that patronize substandard goods.

If u guyz ain't lazy, why would u want to head an igbo enterprise.

If igbos aren't lazy, why are they littering the market with fake products? Are successful Yoruba businessmen like Odetola littering the market with fake products?

If you don't want a leader to organize the market, head back to the east. It's a tradition in Yorubaland,...if you don't like, go back home and sell. Or is the east a pariah?

TALKING ABOUT POOR PEOPLE, WHEN WILL IGBOS STOP ASKING YORUBA LEADERS FOR GOVERNMENT ASSISTANT?

Most time I wonder if those ur confused leader don't see the need to ask Igbo's to leave.

Sincerely we want to leave ur zoo, buh u guyz keep holding us down..

Can't this same Yoloba forum that threatened the FG over the Fulani's not tell same FG that the igbo's need leave the land..

The igbo's re ready to leave today, as long as every one minds his nation afterward..

Very Lazy set seeking to reap where they did not sow..

Is Yoruba holding you back?

Are we stopping you from leaving all Yoruba states to declare Biafra? Awww, do you need Yorubas to fight your battle for you? Do you want us to hold your hands and tell FG to let you go?

So when will igbos threaten FG over their community leader's death (who was killed by fulani heardsmen).

The truth is Igbos are too lazy to actualize authentic products in the business market, talkless of Biafra. No one is sowing your fake product. We're locking it down until you animals begin to learn respect.

menix:


Hahahaha, u guyz re not stopping us but u fought along side the North to stop us from seceding abii u grew up on the rocks in Abeokuta to be so backward.

Suprise about ur fake goods clamour.
Is it that they only sell those product in the yoloba land cous u guyz can't afford the original??

U know within ur heart, that u guyz re lazy else u would be in the market competing with aliens in ur home land..

Ilekeh:


Is anyone stopping you today?

Is Yorubaland stopping you from carrying your fake kabukabu shoes to igboland?

You guys are inconsequential. Nigeria fought to keep the oil in Nigeria.

Most time I wonder when your lazy toutish youths will actually clamor for Biafra. We're not talking about making cowardly noise on the radio, we're talking about real movement, like, not patronizing anything from Nigeria. i.e going to only igbo colleges, patronizing only igbo goods etc.

My friend u just agreed to the fact ur lazy as5 brodaz have been why we have not ceded.

So ur other post is inconsequential cous u know Laziness is the motto of every yoloba man.

Honestly i hate doing this but i must say at this point,that the older generation of yorubas has created a crowd of wasted young generation,isnt it a big shame that Igbo youths will leave their land,like the Chinese,Indians,jews etc go to one Yoruba state,take over their markets in their quest to achieve greater heights. Make a living out it,bring employment to the large number of unemployable yoruba youths(touts),whose only means of survival is through petty stealing,payement of unwaranted levies to them by hard working igbo youths,inother to keep them from being restive.
At the end of the day,what do they Igbos get from them in return,one useless Oba,will prop their retinue of jobless youths to go and challenge the Igbos,because they ve taken over their markets,lands etc and thats why they the youths may remain jobless.
If nothing is done urgently,this present generation of mainly jobless yoruba youths is a time bomb waiting to explode! There shld be a master plan by yoruba elders to get this army of hungry touts engaged before its too late...i see another boko haram in the making.

Yes I agree that igbos are lazy, am I wrong?

Laziness, fast way to get money, the igbo way

1. Selling hard drugs oversea
2. Selling babies
3. selling fake products

And you wonder why Yorubas still school you in international business, while you stay local.
