harmless011:
I dont why we made issues out of nothing the eze ndigbo of a thing is just ceremonial title, the title bearer is still subject to the laws and customs of the host community.
So no need to blow the whole thing out of proportion.

Musiwa419:
Why are the ibos the only one that always have issues with their host wherever they go? There are other tribes in Ibadan also but one wouldnt hear nonsense such as this from them. Why must it always be the ibos? Why must you fight over Kingship title in another mans Kingdom?


There is a large Lebanese and Syrian community in Ibadan. There are Hausas, Calabars, Ijaws, Idomas, Tivs, Ogonis and all other ethnic group working and residing in Ibadan, but they all respect the custom of their host onlike the ibos who would always want to upset others

semitunde:


But then that's the issue here; you are using your own attitude towards such titles ( indifference) to judge others and their attitude towards such in their own land. That's wrong. Cultures are different and the importance given to the crown in yorubaland isn't same in igboland ( in fact from records the igbo culture isn't used to having kings hence the indifference).

If your culture conflicts with another, especially on that other person's land, yours should be the one to pull back.

This also applies to grazing fulanis who say its
their culture to graze. If it causes conflict or discord in grazing areas outside Fulani land, the fulanis should be the ones to change their culture in those areas to suit the hosts.

Imagine. Can a Yoruba or Hausa hold a traditional office in Igboland?

lestat:


My dear don't generalize, that man is probably an illiterate trader whose low self esteem can only be stoked by answering an irrelative title such as eze ndigbo. Trust me when I say for too long these illiterates have paraded themselves as representatives of Igbos and given us bad named because we the educated ones kept silent... But no more, I for one do not recognise any eze ndigbo in any state outside the South East, so relax and don't loose any sleep. Just take these guys the way you take agberos because that's how we see them.
Igbos are peace loving and friendly but like other tribes we have miscreants who go around claiming some sort of status like nnamdi kanu.

HaneefahRN:
Is the man mad? What nonsense. I fthe idiot wants to be a king why nt go back to his father-land. U come to live in another man's land then tell him u also want to be king. They can go to Biafra and do what they like nt come to our lands and wanting to be king. Bastard

jcflex:

Sir seriki is not the same as Emir, find out from pple close to you.

now, from your assertion upther, you said Eze should subject themselve to the king.

but me and you know reverse is the case, some eze ndiigbo, even instigate their fellow igbo men against the king, just like we witness in Akure few month.


Eze ndiigbo equating themselve with the traditional ruler of their host community is what is causing all this hullabaloo.

igbo need to respect their host community tradition.

with that am sure, there will not be any problem, and we will all live in peace.

Thank you

Ucheosefoh:
I hope you know that yoruba people have oba in ABUJA. You are right an average igbo man is not a cultural fanatic that is why people hardly hear prominent igbo traditional rules making controversial statements or trying to impose igbo cultures on non igbos living in igboland.

There cannot be two Kings in a particular Kingdom.


The ibos are fighting for biafra. They want to break away from Nigeria yet they still want to install kings in other parts of Nigeria.


The ibos unlike all other tribes had no Kings prior to the coming of the British colonialist. It was the colonialist that appointed warrant chiefs for the ibos, hence they still do not have a full cultural grasp of what royalty and Kingship is all about.


The ibos are the only one that always have issues with their host. First it was with the Oba of Lagos, later it was with the Deji of Akure and now it is with the Olubadan.


Read the comment below me and imagine the affront, imagine the audacity, imagine the justification of imposing your own culture in domains that are not your just because of the excuse that your people reside there. This was one of the factors that precipitated the pogrom against the ibos in the North and subseqtently the civil war that led to the slaughter of thousands of ibos. Unfortunately, the ibos havent learnt from the mistake of their fathers.

zuchyblink:
That is our way of life,our culture is not rigid and this is one Nigeria. we install Eze ndi Igbo in diapora to maintain our culture. If they are not comfortable with that,they should call for disintegration. As far as there is one Nigeria,we shall continue installing Eze ndi Igbo outside our territories

Mekzmoney:
I wanted to respond to dis ur trash buh when I saw ur ugly face, I now understand Y ur rude and stupid.
I pity your future husband, dat is, if ur gonna hav a nice 1.
Look at who's calling igbos idiot. U tok as if u can live and survive without mixed tribes in ur state.
Stay in ur father land and remain there all ur life.
Arrant nonsense!!!

Here they go again
Can never understand why yorubas feel extremely insecure (almost to the point of wetting their pants) when issues concerning Igbos arise?
Is this not the so-called unity in diversity. You got to accept the other tribes and their ways of life (so long as that way of life obeys the Nigerian Constitution) or you should call for a split if you are truly honest about rejecting them. Its not a favour and it's not to be begged for.
In all the cities in the worls there always an Eze Ndigbo. But it's only in Yoruba land that people shiver, pee and poo upon hearing it.
in igbo land, there are Serikis all over the cities and nobody cares despite the fact that occasional tribal clashes between Igbos and Hausa's which also happens nationwide.
There are also Serikis in Yoruba land
Tomorrow, out of arrogance, someone will start telling us that they are very accommodatingb, simply because Lagos was made the nation's capital without our consents and was therefore developed with everyone's money. The attendant result is ripple effect that also spread to neighbouring Yoruba lands. It has nothing to do with being nice or tolerant because any other part of Nigeria that was made the capital will still have the semblance of what u see now in the West including even the North East.
Some will raise the nauseating poo that people easily buy land in the West. That's the most asinine argument anyone has ever heard. How does selling land as business to make a living show that you love the buyer? Why not give out for free? Where will u not buy land in any part of this world if u have your money and can afford it?

Shymm3x:
Gaddamn! This heifer even has a "palace" in Yorubaland - hysterical.

Yoruba culture has been bastardised and desecrated with too compromise for a fictitious country that only exist on paper.

Is this the same Ibadan with all kinds of legends about how brave and militant they're in battles? Ibadan is soft.

This mofo ought to be whipped and dragged around butt-nake3d, with his crown confiscated.

There can only be one king in one kingdom, unless it's a conquered one.

Joshthefirst:
Nigeria is a Federal Republic. It is not divided into kingdoms.

What exactly is your problem with people from another tribe having a leader for themselves in your locality?

Mekzmoney:
Sum people's mentality is quite annoying. U sound as if you don't have ur people in oda states like east..
Maybe u haven't traveled out of ur state 4 once. Dats Y ur making dis statement. No offense pls.

Karanka:

You don't know what you're talking about. You need to travel more and learn what is happening else where apart from your village. Who told you Yorubas and Hausas don't have titles or hold traditional offices in South east?
The Hausa/Fulani communities in the South east have their traditional leaders. Same with Yorubas.
Nobody bothers them.
Igbos don't have time to be bickering over what you choose to call yourself so long as you maintain law and order and don't interfere in another man's right.
What I see happening here is unnecessary inferiority complex and greed on the part of the Yorubas. They're simply scared that the Eze ndiigbo might become more influential than them,so they are attempting to nip it in the bud on time.
Go to Enohia in Afikpo,Ebonyi state and you'll see a huge community of majorly Hausas and some Yorubas who have been living there for decades. They have their traditional leaders,they practice their Religion,yet you don't see Igbos carrying placards protesting and whining like little bitc*hes over that.

EreluY:


My reading of Achebe's "Things Fall Apart", in the 1980s when I read the book in secondary school, is that in traditional Igbo society, each clan or compound had a compound/clan leader but not kings as obtainable in other African cultures (e.g. Yorubas, Hausas, etc.). Suddenly, Igbo villages and hamlets in the 1980s started declaring themselves as autonomous communities with self-acclaimed traditional "rulers" laying claims to obnoxious and utterly despicable titles.

I'm sorry if you lack parental upbringing it is not your fault that the people in charge of your upbringing failed to teach you manners. You don't insult people while making your points despite the difference in the opinion, try and learn it before quoting me again. Thanks
