I once asked an Igbo friend if the eze ndigbos still bears the titles at home and he told me that's an abomination. He even told me a story of a guy who tried it in his own village, the guy had to run away before morning in order to escape the wrath of the youths.

If you were smart by half you would understand that it will be a clash if an Eze ndigbo of Lagos goes to Owerri to parade himself as Eze Ndigbo because that place already has an Eze Ndigbo. Are you people this dumb in real life?

Epositive:
this is more like a tradition, so why the talk? one of the reasons akure kings dont last.... 3 kings in one decade

The 4th is on the way while the 5th is doing press up, but God forbid.

This is what stupidity leads to, how can one deji be telling other Nigerians how to organize their meetings when e no be cult. This is one stupid divisive and thugish ultimatum I have heard of.
I understand the blah blah blah about region and tribe. I am not in support of the dispute between the eze group, but they have broken no law when gathered. I understand the Yoruba's tribe fears in Ondo state,but just to clear this out - i would have condemned this act if it happened in any other region. With that being said, the deji does not have any right to demand/command a group of people to do what he wishes without their desire. He is not the law of Ondo state or that local government where they have the dispute.

I have said this before, lawyers are supposed to be the reapers of this administration. Am speaking of good lawyers and not noise makers, factual type lawyers. The group should sue the oba for this incidence(i don't know what case it falls on), but he can be sued. It is not a matter of money or not, if the court do their job. It is high time our legal system buckle up, because it is not the government alone that has the last word when it goes against the constitution, talkless of one deji or eze or sultan or anybody. If we mean nobody is above the law, then let's mean it. The deji could have sued the group if he had a point outside of tribalism.

Anyway, Nigeria is backward and stupid, we lack developmental wisdom. We are a slow bunch mentally. That is the revolution we need. Equality.

Speaking from a neutral point of view, I see no wrong in what the Deji dude have done concerning the title change. If you are so ignorant as to call yourself king in someone's land when you are a mere representative, then putting you back in your place is in order. Imagine Nigerian ambassador in US being referred to as President and Commander-chief of Nigeria. It smacks of absolute ignorance, nasisscism, head-honchoism, and nomansland mentality. The rule of thumb is to respect the culture and norms of your host. That is what some igbo bad elements fail to do in the north. They go about insulting their hosts' way of life and religion in an 'in your face fashion' and when you have Hausa bad elements then you have a recipe for disaster.

There are RULES for Chieftancy titles. in each State of Nigeria. Fact.
This is to ensure legality for traditional and ancestral institutions in the country. Without this ANYBODY or group can take whatever titles they want in any community and the traditional institutions will lose relevance.

That is why there are procedures to the Obi, Oba, Emir, or traditional ruler of any community in each state. State Governments have the final AUTHORITY to confer such titles at formal coronation ceremonies. Sometimes the selection process drags into the courstas various ANCESTRAL families battle for the title.

Traditional title holders in turn can confer Traditional as specified by the traditions . They may also confer Honourary titles as they deem fit. Honourary tiles are NOT given by right but as a PRIVILEGE.



Therefore NO tribal group whether Ijaw, Annag, Itshekiri, Edo, or any over 250 DIFFERRENT TRIBES can ON ITS OWN confer any traditional Title
on any member of their group. NONE. It would be Illegal and such person or persons should be arrested and jailed by the same laws that prevent a Kachikwu Okonkwo from declaring himself the Asagba of Asaba or the Obi of Onitsha.
.

How would you FEEL if Alhaji Sanusi Buhari is declared BY HIS TRIBES MEN as the SARKIN FULANi of Onitsha ? or Ibadan ? or Jos ? or Yenagoa ?
How would you FEEL if Adamu Igbira is declared BY HIS TRIBES MEN as the OHI NOYI of Port Harcourt ? or Uyo ? or Kano ? or Ilorin ?


Tribal Organizatiosn and associations such as the Tribes Development Unions, Miyetti Allah Fulani, etc must be registered with the CAC as Non-profit organizations with stated constitution that will stipulate the leadership hierachy of the organization. the CAC will NOT and has never licenced any NGO or tribal organization to take Chieftancy titles. NEVER


It is sad and shameful that State Governments and politicians are allowing this NONSENSE to fester.

It is ALWAYS about a particular section of the country for whom the civil war never ended and which remains resolute to TAKE OVER other people's land, culture and traditions. They are always playing the VICTIM when in fact they are the aggressor.

Lushore1:
So you for got when your Eze went to the palace with crown on his head and parading himself as a King?.....

Mumu so deji can not go to the palace oba of benin or emir of kano with his crown, yeye they smell.

klax:
Nwanone I guess you are sick this Sunday morning. Is their any Olu or Baale of Yoruba in any igbo land Is their any hausa or fulani Mogaji parading himself as a monarch in any of our town or city in igbo land

Bro you are sick tell your fellow anuofia kinsmen who called Nigeria zoo but want to Eze in another man's land but can not and never allow such in any part of igbo land to f u c k off. No Yoruba land should allow any useless Eze in their land.

Oh wait a minute so you want to install Eze in the land of people we so hated with passion You are made and all your followers are mad.

Please Deji your highness sir don't and I repeat don't allow my people to install their shameless Eze in your land if that annoys them they can pack their bags and baggages and leave your land or does my people has no land Shameless confused people dying of ego I was so ashamed when I went to village last week and all the villagesame I saw are so scanty no souls only the very old ones the whole villages as like ghost land I was so ashamedd of my people and they are all in Lagos dragging lands, they are all in kaduna dragging lands but their own villages are already a ghost villages. Go and die if Deji refuse your silly chirfaincy. I'm so angry with my people this morning.

Nonsense!!!

If e pain you too much, just jump into akure lagoon

Must igbos cause confusion in every society they find themselves? Hw on earth would you put on crown outside ur region or domain when it is obvious it is not really traditionally oriented. Chai confused people with insecure minds

Anoda lagoon chief again

vanbonattel:
Jealousy has no medicine. My question is, is the Eze ndi igbo fighting for power with the deji?

If not why is the deji worried or is he just intolerant?

Y'all are just talking like Kids. In future this can cause a serious Problem. Take the case of the Ijaws in Gelegele in the Bini Kingdom. They wanted to have a King(Pere) for their community But the Oba Refused. Instead he told them to present whoever they want to use as their KING for him to bestow a Chieftaincy title on him as one of his palace chiefs. Simply because u cannot have 2 KINGS in one KINGDOM.

If the Deji wants to bestow a chieftaincy title on the head of the Igbos in his domain it is the most logical thing to do.

So my name should change from obinna to nnaobi..... Just because my neighbor don't like it.. This is meaningless and childish tussle. This is their culture and way of life. And people must accept it that way because each and every one of us have their own system and culture to uphold. Nigerians abroad do do have such union what do it got to do with the name. This is simply language misinterpretation. I see intolerance.

okwobros:
Mumu so deji can not go to the palace oba of benin or emir of kano with his crown, yeye they smell.

with due respect sir that is different. The supposed eze in question was not living outside dejis area of influence. Oba of Benin coming to sultan palace with his crown if perfectly okay but a yoruba rep in kano coming to sultan's palace with a crown is not.

vanbonattel:
These people are chronically insecure. I can remember one unhinged Oba in Lagos who threatened his peaceful visitors to drown them in the lagoon if they refused to vote a particular candidate!

Shut the crap bitch. Do u even knw d meaning of insecure u mentioned? Igbos r d ones that feel insecure that is y they make useless eze ndigbo everywhere proving to the world that they r united of whc d reverse is d case. Igbos hate igbos

Y osus always digging their graves by themselves so are they in akure to trade or to disobey our oba ok lets see first but their heads will catch fire this time.

owobokiri:
That deji is a sickening illiterate.. I mean how can the Obi of Onitsha feel threatened by the leader of the Hausa community in Onitsha?? Is that not pitiful?? You see the emir of Kano in a photo-shoot with the so-called Eze ndigbo Kano every now and then. . Everybody knows his place and role. But here, one inebriated deji full of ignorance has been disturbing the public peace for over 2 years over an inconsequential matter.. I like the way the local igbo community there has been annoyingly sticking it up to him.. , that deji chap must be a boring character..

One of them with KG brain

Jaideyone:
which one is jealousy there? the Deji is constitutionally empowered to give and take chieftaincy titles as he so wishes within his jurisdiction which is akure. if your ibo brothers can't respect other people's tradition then he's free to leave akure. you can't wear your own crown to the Deji's palace and expect him to give u a pat on the back

So Ooni will have to remove his crown if he visits your so called Deji

abu12:
THE OBA OF AKURE IS ABOUT TO SET A PRECEDENT, BY CHANGING THE IBO TITLE IN OTHER PEOPLE LAND FROM EZENdigbo 2 OYENDO NDIGBO(meaning leader of igbo or representative of igbo)

What a welcome intiative, kodus to the oba of akure. The ibo shld appreciate it, you can be a leader of your people outside your domain and not a king.

If you are going to spell Igbo please spell it correctly. Onye ndu (someone who leads).

Jaideyone:
we as Yorubas are not surprised. Respect for tradition is alien to Ipod Igbos. Please tell your Eze to wear his crown and go to the palace of the Deji. he'll be flogged again and again. respect your host or leave

Baba shut your mouth and go to church jawe

vanbonattel:
Correct talk. I will like to know the qualification of the deji. Sultan of sokoto comes to Enugu on January and is seen with his full regalia everywhere he went and the masses waved and cheered him to show him we are all the same people. Yorubas are so so insecure.! Why?

Sultan of Sokoto is a king of his own domain, Eze Ndigbo is a nobody leader of a social/cultural organisation who was voted.

The Obi of Onitcha or any other king from the East would always be treated with the same respect that the Sultan got. So stop comparing the non-entity cultural organisation president with a traditional king.

Apples and oranges.

I fully support the Akure monarch. Those of us who know the history of this problem are in full support.

[quote author=owobokiri post=53845342]As stupid as the "eze ndigbo" title is, it is still eze Ndigbo and not Deji ndi igbo... That unserious deji with an insecure attitude should go and drink pure water or rat poison





lolz

KidsNEXTdoor:
Respect your host or leave
Respect your host or drown in the lagoon

That's fantastic
To hell with one Nigeria
We don't want it
We don't believe in it

We don't practice it

Then stay at home and start ur agitation. As a full grown Yoruba man from kwara precisely offa kingdom I also don't want one Nigeria. I support biafra buh living in sw and shouting biafra.... I will assume u have no idea of what u want

Horllamideh:
Your story is far from the truth....The Eze was corrected but he was defiant, an action that got the Deji infuriated and ordered that the title be taken from him and subsequent ban be placed on that title in Akureland. The deposed Eze went to his people selling clothes in 2x2 shops along Oba Adesida road and major markets in Akure and asked them to follow him to come and protest or better still shout at a First class king.....Akure youths (God bless them and their good old brain-resetting koboko) rose up to the occasion and did the needful at that point. The Deji didn't need to mobilize any youth as it's an understatement to call the ever radical Akure youths "Active"

Point of correction, your so called deji is not a first class king.Thanks

Afam4eva:
And a king is not a leader? Maybe he should also tell people whose names are Eze to change their names to Leader as it is a threat to his stool. Moronic dingbats.

And in this case, his own name is eze?

Empty-headed douche bag.

Separation first is the answer

Gassa007:

I mentioned that in the post..... what's your point

Omoikarekimire:
Y are Igbo people always aggressive and like to carry themselves high above the authority of their host this same attitude with the Hausa people brought lots of confrontation Can't they just humble themselves

this same pride of theirs led to the civil war

Chuksonyeike:
The ezendigbo of ondo state across the 18 LGA of ondo states is not one of the chiefs of ur insecure deji.stop making wild assumptions

Eze Ndigbo who was also appointing chiefs?

By what authority was he appointing Igbo chiefs in Akure that already has a sovereign called Deji?

When summoned to the palace, asides the way he was dressed before the king, he had the audacity to be talking back at the king, and saying he had somewhere else that he had to be so the king and his council should hasten the meeting.

Akure Youths taught him a lesson of his life.

He went to mobilize his Igbo kin who closed down their own shops and were protesting. The Deji then gave traditional backing to their shop closure and declared them forever closed. They were the ones that begged the king to allow them to re-open their shops.

So I welcome this move by the Deji, and I know that Ohaneze Ndigbo had also condenmed this Eze Ndigbo rubbish by title loving commoners.

JideAmuGiaka:
Deji you must be high on ASIWAJU WEED.

....u'are mad for sayin such words on this platform for elders...U Ibo are lunatics anmd full of pride that's the reason you will not smell president of Nigeria till enternity...take the post or leave Akure...well it can't happened in my area of Okitipupa/Ikale district...
