Igbos and Yorubas won't burn this country for us!
I'm posting this photo to correct this rumour going up and down about people in diaspora leaders can't wear their crown to visit the state king. That is the Eze Ndigbo of kano with Sanusi.

Whenever my owan people want to visit the Emir in kano, our Enogie goes with his full regalia, and nothing has happened.
Even in universities, when a tribe in the school want to visit a traditional leader, they go along with their appointed or voted king/queen.

Ok

ok

There is more to what happened in akure.

Igbos everywhere you go

truth be told, eze ndigbos are meant to be in every state in nigeria, to protect her people's interest, why obas are not in south east and north is because only few yoruba people are found there, these set of people don't like exploring round nigeria, they prefer staying in their south west region only, so they should allow igbos to go about with their normal eze ndigbo activities and stop causing violence, thats what one nigeria is meant for.

So?..what's is this supose to achieve?....all tribal rants and hate exist genrelly online,yoruba,hausa,igbo and other tribes co-habited well outside,if you build you information and assumptions on tins you hear on social media,you will be misled,personal experience is the best teacher!!

The traditional culture in the North is very different from what is obtainable in the south west. In Yoruba tradition, the subject of a King can not wear a beaded crown in the presence of the King. It is that simple.

Thank you op. Speaking up by people like is the reason why some of us still have hope in Nigeria. Otherwise it looks debilitating when you live in a country with a people who think others must bend to their way of thinking. Thank God you made reference to Igbo and Yoruba fight, I assure you that the only thing that implicates Igbo in that fight is self-defense. We are being attacked unprovoked by this people. The hate is too deep.

@op, thanks a lot. I hope this corrects the hypocritic phools that quoted me in the other thread.

...2. Wearing a crown to the Deji's palace

Dressing in full royal regalia to a true King's palace is the height of insult. Putting on an ordinary cap in front of a king in his palace is not acceptable not to talk of a crown. Do in rome what romans do. He ought to have seen that no one had even a cap on at the palace. His apologists say he should have been told to off his crown at the gate. An eze who claims his people have spent over 70yrs in Akure ought to know better. He failed to study the traditions of his host. His lord summoned him, only for him to appear as dressed as his lord in his lord's palace. He should have sat on the Deji's throne then.

3. Installing leadership in the king's market

Just cos his igbo people dominate a market owned by the King doesn't mean they have the right to install a leader of their choice. This is not democracy but customary rules which gives the Deji power over the market. There is no room for voting as his will must be done. He and is people claim to have lived in Akure for over 70yrs yet they don't know what is called babaloja and iyaloja.

4. Staging a protest

This is the height of it all- staging a protest cos you were put in your rightful place. Which law in akure recognises an eze ndigbo in akure(an igbo king in akure)? The protest showed he wanted to plunge the city into unrest even after going against the custom and culture of the land. For that, he was dealt with.

In as much as we are still one in thesame country, we shouldn't go about disregarding rules, customs, culture and traditions of wherever we find ourselves.

Having gone beyond incendiary headlines, to review the circumstances which resulted in the current breakdown of ethnic relations in Akure, I am in complete agreement with you.

With respect to pt #2, I think his transgression was not simply to do with the "crown" he wore but the inauspicious circumstances under which it was worn. Apparently, after being corrected by palace officials who explained that his action was considered a taboo in Akure, he continued with his defiance nonetheless - see Youtube video included below. The following article also speaks to the restless combativeness which seemingly underscored his visit to the palace. You will note that the picture I attached (further below), which was taken from a video on Youtube, shows him sitting alongside the Olowo in his full regalia. No problem there, as it was for a specific festival.

Then comes the story of an Eze. Worried by his alleged disrespect for his host and apparent disdain for the Akure monarchy, the man had been suspended as the Eze Ndigbo by the Deji of Akureland, Oba Ogunlade Aladelusi Aladetoyinbo, Odundun II, whose office had bestowed on him the title in the first instance. What was Iloh’s infraction? A market in the city, which had hitherto enjoyed the leadership of indigenes of the state capital, had succumbed to the subtle but powerful mercantile and commercial power of their Igbo brothers. Before the natives knew what was happening, the Igbo had imposed their suzerainty on the market and were not only determining the leadership of the market but ensuring that natives did not have a say in the affairs of their own market.

Worried by what they tagged native colonialism on their own land, a spat had occurred between some Igbo in the market and the natives. Afraid that this could turn violent, the Deji, one of the most humble kings to have ascended the monarchy in this part of the country, was said to have invited the Igbo leader for a meeting last Saturday through his Iru Okun, the king’s staff of office. The insignia was reportedly seized by some Igbo hirelings of the man, while the Eze did not honour the Kabiyesi’s invitation. Oba Aladetoyinbo was said to have invited the man again for another meeting on Monday and the latter stormed the palace wearing his haughtiness and conceit on his sleeves. He was reported to have preened himself in the presence of the Kabiyesi, making calls on his cell phone before him and telling the Deji that even King Solomon in his wisdom could not dare to look down on those who had equal intelligence as him. Disturbed by this ride on a self horse and spit on their king, the chiefs present in the palace had collected his beads. The man reportedly later mobilised some Igbo youth to protest against the monarchy.

In my view, your third and fourth points zero-in on what set the current chain of events in motion. Where does this particular Eze Ndigbo derive his authority to decide who the local market leaders should be? In reference to Beremx's post, why aren't his equivalents not appointing market leaders all over Lagos - in a similar act of defiance?

Meet Igbo celeb woman who is Iyaloja of Oluwole market in Lagos



Igbo business woman, Chief (Mrs) Josephine Okeke Onwundiwe is the Iya Oloja of Oluwole Market, Lagos Island. Mrs Onwundiwe, who is from Anambra State was conferred with the Iyaloja title two years ago and was given a Yoruba name Abeni, on her conferment day.

Onwundiwe, born and bred in Lagos State and married to an Easterner of Igbo extraction, led a delegation of market women when she came to represent Chief Folasade Tinubu-Ojo, the Iyaloja General at the Glo Overload N120 million promo event. City People’s Tessy Moore, who was also at the event got Onwundiwe to talk about her life as an Iyaloja in a Yorubaland. Excerpts.

How do you feel as an Iyaloja in a Yorubaland being an Igbo woman?
Oh! I feel great. Being an Iyaloja of Oluwole Market here in Lagos Island is one of the best things that has happened to me. I’m from Anambra State, Udemili Local Government in Ogidi, to be precise. So being an Iyaloja in a Yorubaland is like getting deep into their culture and heritage and a deeper one at that. I’m born and bred in Yorubaland.

So, I so much appreciate it, particularly the person I’m working with, the Iya Oloja General, Chief (Mrs) Folasade Tinubu-Ojo. She is a nice woman and doesn’t discriminate about where you come from. She gives work to whoever she deems fit and doesn’t care whether you are Yoruba or Igbo. There is nothing like tribalism or discrimination in our midst. I really appreciate and admire her a lot.

iboes are found almost everywhere in Nigeria. The tribe can be very annoying sometimes but hey, I like them especially their girls(Genevieve nnaji, Rita etc)

Kano and Akure does not share the same history or culture. He might even be permitted to wear his underwear in Kano but definitely not in Yorubaland.

Why panting when the film is yet to start ? I am baffled the igbos would allow some coward yoruba to beat their Eze n go scot free. I would commit suicide if I am an Igbo just for that. I can't wait to see Igbo run over the people they call cowards.

Igbos know who their real enemies are,so it not about wearing of crown to visit dirty Oba.
Their acts, activities and attitudes towards the Eze ndi Igbo reek of jealousy and hate.

The dirty Oba was simple intimidated by the Eze ndi Igbo presence and swag, may be he was putting some kind diamond ornaments the oba can't afford in his entire life.

You know Igbos and show off.

Are you new on nairaland?

You are a fool. And it does not occur to you that the attack was planned. Otherwise what was over 200 youths doing in the so-called king (appropriately he is a gang-leader) house at that time.

Is that how you abuse your father at home? Dint your parents teach you not to talk to strangers rudely? You better go get some home training before exposing your parents to public ridicule on a public forum.

Absolute bunkum. Are ibos the only non Yorubas living in Yorubaland? Why are others able to co exist peacefully and ibos are not?
Why are ibos having the same issues everywhere they find themselves?
Yorubas are about the only people who can tolerate ibos until the ibos started to think they can kick sands in Yorubas face and get away with it. Big mistake.

@OP, since you're from Owan, I guess you've heard of Igarra. Whenever the Royal Family has a Case in Court with the Non-Royal Families, our King (Otaru) does put on his Crown to the Court Premises, but the self-acclaimed Kings (non-royal family heads) don't try that because the Court doesn't recognise them. If Eze-Ndigbo has a Court Case against the Deji, can he (Eze) put on his Crown to the Court? If NO, why then would he put on his Crown when visiting the Deji?!

Good of you. Next time, don't stray into my mention with your silly insult.

In Yoruba land if even a Yoruba king is going to visit another Yoruba king he doesn't put his crown on. He can only wear a cap. Unless they are meeting somewhere neutral.

The oba of akure is suffering from acute Inferiority complex. Nobody is dragging Oba throne with him . If the Eze ndi igbo is truly disrespectful to the Oba, why then did he honour the Oba's invitation. Eze ndi Igbo is simply the elected leader of Igbo pple living in akure, how does his position challenge the position of the Oba of akure? The Oba behaved like a common street tout


Like Oba of akure, most yoruba youth are suffering
from acute inferiority complex. That's why they
demand for respect rather than work hard to earn it.

The Ogba ewu (Goat market) in head bridge market
in Onitsha is dominated by hausas, even those some
igbos sell goat there also, an Hausas man has
always been the leader of the market and neither
the Obi of Onitsha nor Igbos youths in Onitsha has
ever felt threatened. Everybody is more occupied
with their business.

Why would an Oba feel threatened when an Igbo
man becomes a leader in a market highly
dominated by Igbos? Inferiority complex is the
answer. I understand that yorubas hate competition in their land
especially if the competitor is from another tribe. But they should know that America is great today bcus they welcome competition.

Igbos leave igboland to yorubaland, not that yorubaland is more developed than Igboland, but simply bcus business in Igboland is highly competitive , unlike in yorubaland. In Igboland, everybody has the business brain which makes it highly competitive environ. Yorubas are not known for buying and selling, they are more of white collar jobs, which is an advantage for Igbos in yorubaland who are more of business merchants.

The yorubas , hausas and other tribe exemption of
Igbo always scream 'one Nigeria'. But Igbos are the
tribe who practicalize 'one Nigeria' mantra, and yet they are hated for that.

As east is far from West so is heaven far from the earth. God help us
