What is this one saying?

When you are told to go to school, you said no that you are interested in trading. Now see what it has caused.

It is APOLOGY and not APOPLOGY.

emmalexabl:
Is the apoplogy only on 9ja stations ??

what if we apologise on CNN.,BBC or may be AL-JAZEERA...

This yoruba monarchs are all clowns.

BIAFRA IS ALREADY HERE...

GentleToks:
This repulsive attitude of your kinsmen was what led to Pogrom, Igbo coup, civil war and what we are all witnessing today.

It's shame that no single Igbo man has what it takes to live in a foreign land.

The question you all Igbos failed to ask yourselves is this "If Igbos have been living in that city for over 50years without any issue like this or any other one, How come the same King and people are suddenly fighting the same Igbos?

You and i know that it has a known fact that in all Nigeria history, Igbos have never accepted responsibility for anything. They are always victims....

omoharry:
This is the arrogance people are talking about...who goes to another man house to insult his elders without an eye brow. can you guys tolerate this nonsense in your land..i am not an Igbo, Hausa nor a Yoruba person but i have to support the Yorubas' in this...what you cannot tolerate in your land, do not do so in another man's land...all this show of bravado over nothing will land you guys in trouble one day...will i say because the constitution allows every one to reside and do business in any state of the federation give another ethnic group the right to have a crowned king in your village in the east..will you guys tolerate such action? you guys will never tolerate that.How will you feel if you wake one morning to discover that a Baale in your region has been crowned and questioning the authority of your own high chief or king in your village........This is what i call arrogance, arrogant at its peak..Goodness..you guys will just not stop..later you will be shouting victimization when you are the ones disrespecting yourselves...if you don't have respect for others who will then respect you...EZE IN AKURE INDEED.

HungerBAD:
The Deji of Akure, Oba Aladetoyinbo Aladelusi, has banned the title of ‘Eze Ndi Igbo’ in Akureland and ordered it to be reviewed and replaced with a non-controversial honorary title.

This is one of the conditions given by the monarch to end the crisis between him and the leader of the Igbo community in the town, Mr. Gregory Iloehike. The monarch said the condition must be met before Igbo traders in the area would be allowed to continue operating their businesses in the community.

The traditional ruler dethroned the Igbo leader last week and stopped his men from opening their shops following an alleged rude behaviour against the traditional ruler at his palace by the Igbo leader during a meeting with Oba Aladelusi.

Some other conditions included that the dethroned Eze must apologise for his behaviour, said to be unruly in at least three national dailies as well as go to broadcast stations to also tender an unreserved apology. He was also ordered to write a letter of apology to the monarch and the Deji-in-Council.

Oba Adelusi also directed that the Igbo leader should stop wearing any form of crown and must comply with all the directives of the palace.

To this end, the state Governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, met with the two leaders separately on Tuesday evening at the Governor’s Office, Alagbaka, Akure, and reportedly pleaded with the Akure traditional ruler to forgive the embattled Igbo leader.

At the meeting, it was gathered that the governor maintained that the Igbo leader could not go against the tradition and custom of the land, as there was no basis or constitutional back up for such attitude.

The governor, however, thanked the youths of the town, praising them for their maturity and peaceful disposition towards the matter.

The traditional ruler maintained that a truce can then be brokered once the conditions were met.

As a result of the crisis, all shops occupied by Igbo people at the Moferere Market, Akure, remained closed as of the time of filing this report on Wednesday.

I saw ur profile picture...a labelled ear of course....now let this vibrate in ur ossicles,incus,hammer and stapes,even d tympanic membrane that d yorubas aint shit...u said d ibos av refused 2 go 2 school....yet u hear of pple like philips emeagwali who is now billgates righthand man in. sw(software) development,22yr old ohuabunwa who is d first black man to break the US record in neuroscience.....and so many other ibos u know...only ato eze will buy all d yoruba land with his money........d ibos should b likened 2 israelites cos u can never stop them from progressing n they are blessed.....just think about this.....after d biafra was won by our fulani counterparts all ibos were left with nothing with their houses all burnt down and were penniless at that time. But now d Ibos have risen beyond everyones expectation,good houses everywhere with good businesses....but our rivals then still have mud houses,no formal education given 2 them, cattle rearers evrywer.......one thing that baffles me with yorubas only form of trading is their 7coloured malaria medicine which sells a #50 naira 4 a jug with #20 sweet given freely 2 soothe d bitterness of their local medicine, this is d on trade they r good at, nothing more.

Chibaba247:
Wat a silly king

truefact:
Fetishes yorubas claims all the goodie goodies. Diabolical yorubas claims sophistication and progressive, then

Why do yorubas still want be in the same country with violent-illiterate hausa-fulani?

Why do yorubas still want to be with uncultured igbos?

What is wrong with yorubas?
Or are yorubas simply living on lies?

GhaliNaaba:
This boy is a bas.star.d from a very rude tribe and you people will be taught a bitter lesson in Yoruba land.

QuotaSystem:
The shorter their rope the better, these people would call Akure no man's land in no time if not contained.

Those conditions though... the Oba got no chill, he forgot to ask for the ibo man's left testicle

liberty300:
You don't pick a fight with the igbos and win. Ask northern nigeria how they're looking now, ask the oba that wished them death by lagoon how his people are dying in the lagoon(they say am insensitive by saying this but what da hell..)

If this news is true, then the oba and his people have difficult days ahead. Am not bragging, am just stating the obvious

Before you talk, remember what led to this..the dressing of an Igbo that honored his invitation. After Wch the Igbo apologized after being humiliated..it takes a big man to admit when he's wrong, it takes a bigger man to apologize even when he's right

ozodigboo:
You talk rubb**sh. Pls keep quiet if u have nothing to say.
Possibly u left igboland in 1975 and haven't been back since then.
The Sarkin Hausawa is the king or head of all hausa in southern states....The one at Onitsha lives at Bida Street, and have their meetings at Sokoto road where you have many tailor shops .
There are other sarkin hausawa in aba, nnewi, owerri and in the garki area of enugu.

I'm not quite sure where the heads of the yorubas live here ....but they have a HeAd....or Baale or whatever. so i won't guess.
Don't make general statements about what u aren't sure about.

If u tell me that the yorubas and hausas in igboland aren't allowed to have any posts.....i agree. Its something we should look at.
Buh don't tell me they don't have leaders here....they do, and they wear their regalia. But we don't bother about what they wear because it doesnt resemble ours.....we just look and pass.

kingzizzy:
This is absolute nonsense. The Deji of Akure has no right to dictate to Igbos how to conduct their cultural affairs. What business of his is it? He may have the right to decide who can wear a crown in his palace but he has no right to dethrone anybody. Does he he think he is dealing with his fellow Yorubas here? This is laughable

Wow, this is what I call falling hand but dry bone shall rise again..

If e pain us make we go back nd build an European East..

magicminister:
[size=19pt]woooow!!

I don tire for this country i swear!.
too much hate, too much tribalism.

I thought the eze-ndigbo guy has already apologized?
Why not show some mercy and let him be after some serious caution and probably Fine!
This one is unnecessary show of power![/size]

How can we claim "one Nigeria" when an Oba is Hindering other Nigerians (ibos) from trading within a Nigeria state due to their tribal affiliations?
Of course, the culture of the Home state should be respected and honored but traders should not be asked to close shops as long as they are up to date on their rent, tax and levies.

tete7000:
Thank you. Another question though. If the situation arises, can the governor depose the king just like Abacha did with Dasuki?

Godsonkemz:
I'm quite disappointed that a closest brother who suppose to share a common interest with us is going against us. We regard you Ibibios as brothers in our land and transact biz with all fairness but some of u guys like u see us as strangers in ur land and envy our progress. U must've eaten the forbidden fruit from Yoruba people.

You dont seem to know the difference between being "Threatened" ... and being "Insulted"?


For one nomadic Nnyamirin to crown himself King, where there is a sitting "authentic" King .. and then to proceed to usurp the role of that authentic King by replacing subjects selected by such King (Babaloja of Akure market), is the height of treachery.


If not for civilisation, that Eze Ndigbo would have been BEHEADED straight-away!
he should count himself lucky.... and yes, he needs to be properly HUMILIATED...Properly, l repeat

shurlermoz:
The governor no wan die na, depose a first class traditional ruler? it can't happen anywhere in Nigeria.
even the military administrator that tried it with Oba of Benin lost his wife to a strange sickness and had to apologise before he was left off the hook.

Killing spree ? Who will fight ? You ?
Hiding behind a laptop.....have you seen blood before ?
Yes we fought a war 50 yrs ago and lost after 4 long years......how many have you fought ?
You want a riot so that you and your family will go and start looking for shops to break in and loot.
If its fight, we are ready.......on the field....not some tribal villagers breaking into people's shops and looting in d name of fighting.
Last week, 3 fulani herdsmen kidnapped a yoruba leader [ Falae ] and fed him with cow poo for 5 days, and showed him toilets to scrub.....una no talk.
Na only where igbo dey, una dey form hardman.

hardbody:
My exact thoughts. Whatever happened to developing our region. Some people will argue that we are landlocked please tell me how many of the central african states are bordered by the atlantic or any oceans or seas at all. Our normadic tendency has remained our greatest undoing. Chai....ewu atago m igu n'isi. Ya diba....make oburu mgbe gbo....
