An Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo,
has backed the Deji of Akure, Oba Ogunlade
Aladetoyinbo, for banning the Eze Ndigbo title
within the state capital.
Specifically, the group said the title was not
recognised by traditional rulers in the South-East
and added that it was wrong of any Igbo man to
parade himself as the Eze Ndigbo in the South-
West.
Aladetoyinbo banned the title in the town
following the face-off he had with the leader of
the Igbo community in Akure, Gregory Iloehike,
over the crisis at Mojere market.
The Ohanaeze Ndigbo called for the
implementation of a February 20, 2008
resolution by the South-South traditional rulers,
who condemned and banned the use of the Eze
Ndigbo title outside the South-East.
A statement issued by the leaders of the group,
Joseph Okeke, and Lemmy-Kingsley Chukwuma,
said, “It is the hitherto refusal of the relevant
authorities to stop Iloehika from parading
himself as Eze Ndigbo of Akure as directed by
the South-East traditional rulers and the
Ohanaeze Ndigbo since 2008, that gave him the
courage to desecrate the stool of the Deji, an act
which the Igbo in the state were not satisfied
with.”
The group commended the monarch for
employing maturity in resolving the face-off
between Igbo people and the indigenes of
Akure.

Yes it shoukd be banned outside the southeast zone.

Igbo men and titles sha.

The title never existed anywhere; doesn't exist. There's no need to ban something which amounts to nothing.

very brilliant move. I totally support Ohaneze on this one. There should be nothing like Eze Ndigbo outside Igbo land. Whoever wants to be Eze should sit in his domain in the East.

I never knew ohanaeze had sense.

I see maturity

kokoA:
Igbo men and titles sha.

Honestly. I don't know what they do with all these traditional titles.

Good. This is word of wisdom, Eze Indigbo is null and void. Can you have a king without a kingdom !!!

.

K

good I hope all those unemployed ibo cretins on nairaland can read this?

Hmmmm

this ohaneze of a thing self go just dey misyarn

kayusely:

Where are the ibo urchins on nairaland. Is Ohaneze Ndigbo also being unfair?

neolboy:
this ohaneze of a thing self go just dey misyarn
