The Chairman, traditional rulers council of Cross River State, His Majesty, Chief (Dr) Etim Okon Edet has released a press statement warning the Igbo Community in Cross River State to desist from its plan installation and coronation of Sir E. A Ezenwenyi (KSS, KSM, JP) as the Eze Ndi Igbo of Cross River State.

In a statement released on the 13th of November, 2018, the traditional rulers council suggested that the Igbo Community in Cross River State are free to choose such other title that reflects the association but not one which is reserved for traditional rulers in igboland.

The traditional rulers council advised the Igbo Community to use such titles as president, chairman, etc, but not necessarily, Eze Ndi Igbo of Cross River State.

The press statement was co-signed by HRM, Barr. (Dr) Patrick Oqua Agbor.

That press statement is attached below.

My yeastern blodas and their wahala na like MTN... every where you (dey) go.

very good I like it.

Ndigbo must respect the laws of their host community.

Two captains can't be on one ship .

Lies! Afonja at work!

Dear Cross Riverians, we have a manual in the south west on how to deal with disturbances like this. We call it the 'Akure treatment'. We can extend it to you if you ask.

What's wrong with the title?
But they will accept Sarki hausawa or mai angwa. Ignorance is really a disease.

Unnecessary issue the Cross River kings should ignore except there is more to the issue.

Igbos should also forget about this Eze this Eze that because not everyone is comfortable with the progress of the Igbo people.

igbos re getting rejected evry where they go. even here in the south south that they claimed to be part of there mirage called biafra

Your Majesty , don't worry yourself too much about the title.They said Exe ndigbo of Cross Rivers...not the non Igbos.Besides,the title does not threaten anybody..your interference is productive of idleness... concentrate on freeing your people from the shackles of economic degradation.

so cannot develop in peace

afonja.
There igbos in almost every ss state except bayelsa.
In ss,we ijaws are the first tribe as we are in every ss state including ondo and edo state.
Igbos are the second with the highest population as they are in almost every ss state excluding ondo and bayelsa.
The rest have indigenous igbos.
For your info ijaws rule ss and we ijaws support biafra.you can ask asari,gej,tompolo etc.

I like this.
The indegenes of any land would feel threatened by the ever increase in population of non indegenes among them for obvious reasons. You igbos would feel same way if it were the other way round.

The Hausa's have the Sarikin Hausawa who resides in Nasarawa Bakoko, 8miles in calabar so why are they raising alarm over eze ndigbo who naturally is a subject of the Obong of Calabar. In calabar, the Obong is just like a nickname. They don't have regards for him at all. It is only in calabar that a traditional ruler goes to work (Palace) like any other civil servant. He lives in Adiabo Tinapa road and his palace is in Calabar South. 80% of residents in calabar does not even know the name of the Obong let alone know him in person.

What about the indigenous igbos people that were carved into crossrivers state during state creation. Doesn’t that mean that they cant have eze in their ancestral land.

These people need to calm down with igbophobia and leave it for losers. Igbophobia has a tendency to blind people because it is driven by blind hate.

It is sheer hate . That is all.

Like Lagos like Calabar. Trouble makers everywhere you go.

How can he warn Igbos when they are key to the economy of Cross River?

We yoruba muslims are happy about this. We thank Allahu for making Cross riverians to hate Ibo people and love our yoruba muslim skulls in the spirit of one nigeria. We thank prophet mohammed (SAW) for sowing the seed of discord among SE and SS. This mean that Cross river will vote for our sai buhari and not Atikwu the Ibo man.

Our yoruba skulls hereby rejoices and becomes glad in him. Let us dance owambe.

Masha Allah!

ipobs and their wahala, when everyone hates you, the problem is not with them, you are the problem

same thing happened in Ondo State last year thereabout.
every rich igbo man wants to be refereed as King

I think it doesn't matter and its not a threat to the people of CRS...even in Canada and usa igbos do have such tittles.

It will a threat if they have obong oseni or any tittle reserved for crs chiefs

Coneheads afonja ajokas will carry this thread for head like agege bread
