Pmb's Visit To Southeast: Southeast Elders Show Of Shame by Ugik(m): 7:48pm On Nov 17, 2017 |
"all hail the lion king,we love you...let the markets be shut and let the schools close" That was the scenario that played out when the president embarked on his visit to the southeast,the first of its kind since he assumed office...Many reasons can be given for this august visit as it coincides with the period Anambra election is been held. Mr president needed to fortify his defense in the Southeast ahead of 2019, he needed to calm nerves and show not just in words but in action that he was indeed running an all inclusive government. Little wonder he massaged our ego when he told the teeming Igbo populance that gathers to see him that "Nigerians are Igbos and igbos at Nigerians"...I have no problem with his visit and will only advice him to ensure that his actions are in line with his words,you do not flog a child and then tell him not to cry. My problem with the visit is not the president but the show of shame by the Igbo nation as they threw decorum to the trash can in the altar of political sycophancy. cultural values of the Igbo nation was brought to question that I really had to weep for my people. Culture is seen as a peoples way of life and it encompasses their language,music,dance and belief.culture should not be sacrificed on the altar of politics. When PMB came to ebonyi,he was given the title "enyi ebonyi" by the ebonyi state traditional council and that is a good one,just like Atikus "turaki of adamawa". The title "Ochioha ndi Igbo" is a title that was uncalled for unless it was given by the council of traditional rulers in Igbo land,which in this case,it wasn't..a few traditional rulers who are supposed to protect the very sanctity of our cultural value are the same people making it look like a secondary school post. To make matters worse,APC went castigating the Obi of Onitsha for failing to leave his base to meet with Buhari at the state capital. The Obi had insisted that Buhari should visit him in his palace instead. I don't know why any son of the soil should encourage the desecration of his own royal stool because of Politics even if he supports APGA as alleged. When Buhari visits Sokoto, he does not send for the Sultan of Sokoto. He goes to his palace to pay homage. You don't go to Osun and send for the Oni of Ife. You seek him out to pay homage. Not just here. You don't go to England and send for the Queen to come and see you. Donald Trump was in Japan recently. He didn't send for the Emperor. He went to his palace to pay homage. Royal fathers/mothers are the custodians of their domains. That is why they are universally respected. Why should the case of the Obi of Onitsha be different? Can Buhari go to Edo and send someone to call the Oba of Benin for him? Why can't our elders for once think like rationale beings and accord same respect to a royal father of the South East? 1 Like |
