Maybe because he's way too popular in South Africa. A Nigerian based elsewhere can purchase real estate via his company's name.

The South Africans have been tramautized by numreous fake pastors so it is understandable that they are skeptical of "pastors" in general however the way it was framed by that half child minister is what is insulting.

JaceBlaze:
How was the Ozoro grape festival?

Terrible event. Not representative of our culture and needs to be purged. Look up every comment on any Nigerian news outlet for condemnation.

Meanwhile your media is fanning the flames of Xenophobic propaganda.

Chibuezem:
otilor
The reason for this behaviour is because our country is messed up
We don't have a place to call home that wants us to survive

Because the men in power keep us divided while they enjoy our resources.

aswani:
Final one from me on this.

The locals don't want your Eze Ndigbo BS, get it out of their lands.

A so called owambe night party with the visible presence of crowns and thrones àbi?

Dey play.

Facts over feelings.

You said nothing.

There is nowhere in the video they hail that man as a "King", in fact the comments reiterate that he is not one and his sole responsibility is to preserve the culture in South Africa which is not against any law that I know of.

The event was in a small hall full of traditionally dressed individuals and refered to as "symbolic" far from any "Regal" event.

When confronted with facts and interrogated, people like you start to reach all over for anything to make sense.

aswani:
Stop calling yourself Kings, installing yourself as one, wearing crowns and robes, sitting on thrones, you are nothing more than an informal community leader, keep it at that.

Please refer to video below for your answer. This is the usual internet South African bru haha. Investigation will be done. Nothing will come of it.

Much ado about nothing.

aswani:
The aborigines abhor such, respect their wishes or leave their lands to go and do such elsewhere.

Read the room! Stop claiming everyone is xenophobic or hates you!

I would refer you back to the communique sent out by the Union of "Nigerians"...not Igbos in South Africa. If you cannot comprehend what was written on it to clarify their stance then I cannot help your tribalism.

aswani:
You are here solely defending the nonsense and riling the South African poster even more with your nonsense defence of rubbish, who benefits from that?

If you care to watch, your so called "Regal" ceremony is no more than an "Owambe" night party by a group of socio-cultural Igbo groups who came to celebrate their culture. Facts don't have feelings.

aswani:
Accra, Akure and Ibadan to name a few, we have had two factions of people claiming to be Ndigbo and looking foolish as a result because the local rulers have had to suspend it until it's being resolved.

That one no concern this matter.

aswani:
Whether or not that poster cares, I have said my piece.

The South African poster should not only have to read your opinion on the matter at hand, especially when it is a poor defence of what is happening.

Not just poor sef but a minority opinion.

How did you determine that it is a minority opinion?

aswani:
It's their land and they don't want an Ndigbo King or Eze Ndigbo, in any shape or form, accept and respect it or leave their land and go to places that do.

I would refer you back to the communique by the Union of Nigerians in South Africa for clarity. If you read it and don't understand, there is nothing I can do for you.

aswani:
Every immigrant community all over the world has elders that represent their interests in the community they chose to settle, those elders don't need to identify in the "Regal" manner some are trying to do which causes problems.

It all needs to stop.

What "Regal" manner are you refering to, Please expand?

Was the occasion broadcast on national Television?

Was there a public announcement of the ceremony?

Did they invite South African dignitaries to attend?

SMH in bewilderment.

aswani:
Hopefully you realise that the person you are arguing with is not representative of all Nigerians.

This same Eze Ndigbo BS has caused problems in the land of other tribes in Nigeria so welcome to our world I guess.

Igbo people are good, hardworking people for the most part, it just so happens that a few make a lot of money and start wanting to be labelled what they are not. They also care less about the concerns of the local populace and much like the person you are arguing with, start playing the victim card when you challenge them.

A real shame.

You really think he cares about your explanation.

When will people like you learn that most people in this world default to their most innate primordial instincts when it comes to issues like this.

Keep wasting your time.

KobolanderSegun:
Alot of Nigerians abroad need to learn humility..look at Ghanaians, Kenyans, quietly living their lives abroad but no Nigerians are the noiseist Africans and we are proud of it. Shaking my head.

If we become humble as you say, we will loose the very element that makes us Nigerians.

IronGalaxy:
Don't care what you call it.. We won't have an Igbo" calling himself "The King of Eastern Cape." I reiterate, take that thing you call King back where it belongs. certainly not gonna be apologetic about that. The time for political correctness is over. You have TikToks of Nigerians living in SA openly insulting South Africans and calling us names..and we must toe the line because we don't wanna be labeled "xenophobic" f..that

You can respond to Nigerians insulting South Africans all you want on the net and get dragged into useless internet wars all you like as a demonstration of your emotional immaturity but that really has nothing to do with this issue in particular.

The fact remains the coronation of an Igwe in a socio-cultural organization does not in any way infringe upon the political power or sovereignty of traditional rulers in the Eastern cape as explained multiple times by several Nigerian organizations in South Africa and if it was misconstrued as such and "EXPLANATION" has been tendered refuting that assertion.

IronGalaxy:
Abeg shift left and take that thing you call "King" to where it belongs.. South Africa ain't Biafra, Ghana said No, We're sayin' No too.. Stop flooding us with your nonsense..

And alas the Xenophobia is revealed.

IronGalaxy:
Honest Nigerians (few that exist) are all over the net, calling this BS out, but the eternal "xenophobia" victim called Seppuku is doing what he does best, galsighting and playing the victim..

You conveniently ignored the communique that went out explaining the situation to the general South African public about the so called Kings coronation and the comments on the net also clarifying this issue but seek to concentrate on those who support your narrative, but alas we all know that the propaganda is to turn the "Nigerian" into the boogie man in SA to clear the way for their expulsion.

IronGalaxy:
CALL YOUR PEOPLE OUT AND STOP DEFLECTING!!!!!

After numerous communiques have gone out to the public from the Union of Nigerians in South Africa clarifying the issue.

Abeg shift left.

kingsavage:
I prefer south africans to igbos

Don't worry, after you visit and come back we will see you at Mama Chinyere's bukka eating ofe nsala and pounded yam narrating how you escaped the Tsotsi's over there.

IronGalaxy:
Point1.. They were being chased away. Didn't say they moved.. difference.. point of the matter.. You caused commotion in Ghana, in the same way you're now doing in SA.. YOU are always the common denominator.

Can you point to evidence where that incident caused the government to ask the Nigerian's to depart their country?

A commotion caused by some mischievous delinquents doesn't speak for the entirety of the Ghanian people.

IronGalaxy:
Point2. Take your Igwe" or whatever, and do that nonsense in your country.. Simple

You are proving my point, Mfethu. Its not really about coming to any sort of understanding. This episode is simply to feed your insecurities.

IronGalaxy:
Point3. Ah Chidnma.. Victimhood, yet again!

Not victimhood. Pointing out the consistency of harassing innocent people who are busy going about their lives and causing no immediate problems.

IronGalaxy:
If you really wanna talk about low IQ'd, look no further than your own people. Also, look at yourself and your inability to self reflect

Upon self reflection concerning this matter I have come to understand that there are very unintelligent people in this world who like self attention and refuse to face the resolution of serious issues like crime, GBV and corruption and instead are deliberately trying to make the life of immigrants unbearable so these poor individuals are forced to exit their spaces.

How's that on my growth, Mfethu?

IronGalaxy:
Absolute BS.
.A Chinese person is Chinese beyond China, not Tibetan, not Han, not Manchu..etc.. this is reality, nothing to do with intelligence. Stop trying too hard

This particular case is an ethnic issue because it is being compared to certain ethnic groups that exist within South Africa.

The Afrikaans community in South Africa could care less about the newly installed "King of Eastern cape".

Try harder my friend.

IronGalaxy:
They are still Nigerians at the end of the day, one of your tribes.. an Indian man of Tamil or Gujarati extraction is still an Indian.. nobody cares about the distinction beyond Nigeria

Intelligent people do.

kingsavage:
please the man is if the Igbo tribe..
They are a problem to us here in Nigeria too..

Shameless Nigerian. Look at you supporting a foreigner against your fellow compatriot.

Tomorrow you will be cheering Super eagles who are predominantly made up of Igbos or dancing to Flavor's song.

JaceBlaze:
True cause I know they won't dare this behaviour in KZN...NEVER!!!

Yes your Zulu warriors will come out and dubula them, no?

but GBV will still continue in those communities.

IronGalaxy:
Yup.. Eastern Cape people seem to be asleep generally

Lets watch what will become of this bru haha as usuall.

A lot of noise by low IQ'd individuals who want to steer up sentiments and then the government will look into it and determine no laws have been broken

Bunch of cry babies.

IronGalaxy:
Again, you're not calling out your people out..choosing the victim route instead of reflecting.. Always.. !
The same people went to Ghana and then proclaimed themselves as Kings over there, they got chased away there They're now doing the same thing in South Africa..in the Eastern Cape, a region wth many chiefs. You see no problem with this.. The day you Nigerians take accountability for your actions will be the day pigs fly

Point 1. Nobody chased Nigerians away from Ghana. They are still there.

Point 2. You need to understand the concept of a King/Igwe in the Igbo cultural context before running your mouth about installing traditional kings in foreign countries. This title exists in every Igbo community that resides outside the country and the individual acts more so as a cultural advisor than a King overseeing a territory.

Point 3. This is the same bru haha your people steered up when they saw a video of that Chidinma being hailed and blessed by her people during a ceremony as their igbo daughter and representative during the SA pageant saga.

It is Xenophobia today, Xenophobia tomorrow and Xenophobia after tomorrow.

IronGalaxy:
Your biggest problem is a lack of self-reflection, Seppuku, nothing else.. The question you should be asking is why is it always your people with this kind of behaviour... You bring so much smoke and attention unto yourselves, then cry victim when people start speaking about you..

Can you answer the question I asked instead of running your mouth please?

Pinklada:
Why are these people so stupid

Why are they fixated with stupidity.

You know South Africa is not same, yet you are foolishly exposing other Nigerians to danger

I think it's an inferiority complex, going to other people domain n be establishing one useless throne

you dey vex say dem never issue you your SA visa?

Chibuezem:
there is nothing wrong in having a leader of a particular tribe in another man's land .
This is common for other tribes
A leader in Igbo is called Eze
Eze is not leading south Africans in that community but Igbos .
It makes it easier to hold the community accountable
South Africans should stop being xenophobic for once in their life and my fellow Nigerians who are tribalistic entities shut up

The day South Africans stop xenophobia will be the day pigs will fly.

MrGerald:
At the end government will still provide security and the ceremony will hold successfully and nothing will happen.

Yes o.

Christlike01:
They did not merely call him a leader, but a king—“Igbo King in Eastern Cape, South Africa.” The question is: is the Eastern Cape his ancestral land that he believes he can establish a kingship over it? Africans are not foolish; however, those who go beyond their native lands and crown themselves kings in foreign territories are the foolish ones!

King wey no get palace or kingdom. Abeg make una pipe down.

Nexus5011:
Why are Nigerians so arrogant? Do you wonder why SAs hate Nigerians so much, it’s not jealousy. It’s because the ones in South Africa act so entitled, arrogant, and walk around chest puffed out like it’s their country. Plus I have seen so many treating SAs like trash, talking on them to their face, the disrespect of the country host is loud. This is why! It’s not jealousy at all like you guys are so quick to say. Only people who welcome the Nigerians are the women because manifesting men spend heavy heavy on them, I mean first time they meet, these women get the red carpet rolls out, so of course they will hail anyone spending money like that. Nigerian men are the biggest simps spending on hoes like they do just to feel like a big man. I lived in Nigeria and I lived in Cape Town so I have seen all.

My friend pipe down. The matter is not as serious as those people are trying to make it. They are always trying to create smoke where there is no fire.

What power does the so-called King have in South Africa is the question you should be asking yourself ?

Foreigner Foreigner are always on the lips of South African.

Charly68:
A man is making wave and they' re envious of him. What is their problem. They put up the place for sale and a pastor came up to buy it so why hue and cry ?

Na Pastor Bushiri and Omotosho show dem na him cause am.

Teeklef:
Having seriki,oba or Igwe is not really the problem. Must you do an elaborate coronation? You can just name your representative within yourselves,no need for rakatia nah.

Na Igbo man way be that.

Na the same thing pepper the South Africans when dem be do party for Chidinma.

HacheNoire:
South Africa should reach out to Iran

Those lots deserve Christmas lights!

Advocating violence.

Where is Seun's bots please.

Cumherepatra:
Sometimes, let us use our tongue to count our teeth. Knowing how xenophobic these people are, why cause more rouse? Some things are just avoidable.

Don't ask anybody to send planes later ooo.

Bros the people were quietly doing their own cultural thing. It is the South Africans looking for any excuse to cause problem. They have decided to put fire under every issue with foreigners. Its Xenophobia, nothing more nothing less.

At the end probe will be done, a lot of bru haha and nothing will come out of it.

Arostar2023:
Really unnecessary. He is just a leader of Igbo people that subscribe to his leadership in SA. I guess the natives were alarmed at the flamboyant installation ceremony that has little or no import...

It is this one that has finally made me now know that Sad Africans are not well upstairs.

This is simply a community practicing a ritual for a selective group of people.

It is an Igbo leader not a Nigerian King.
