₦airaland Forum

BushidoBlue:
I have listened and watched and read comments from the future generation of Nigeria and I am appalled by what I have observed.

This incident has brought to the fore the underlying animosity that tribalism breeds.

I am not privy to all sides of information so my opinion is based on the respect and reciprocal attitudes of both parties involved.

Let's start by assuming the Igbos erred in some way right there in Akure.
The magnitude of the misdemeanour can't be ascertained by me.
So the Deji of Akure now summons the Eze Igbo of Akure.
Before I continue, I want to ask a question.
Who is an ambassador if not a representative of a nation in another nation and even the embassy grounds are given the same respect as the nation from which the ambassador hails from.
Having said that, an ambassador can be summoned before the president of a country and must honour such an invitation. Being unruly to the "host nation" is a abhorred by any nation or people.
However, being violent on the ambassador is also in distaste and does not speak well of the host nation and can even lead to diplomatic issues or war.

Can we then say that the Eze Igbo is a representative of the entire Igbo community in Akure and as such an ambassador of the Igbos in Akure?
Can we also safely assume that he was summoned and respected the host community by honouring the invitation?
Can we as well say he has the right to ask for the root cause of the issues at stake in order to settle or mediate between the host and his kinsmen?

If the answer to the above is yes in all three positions, will it be personable or civil for the Eze Igbo to be beaten and derobed in the palace of the host community if due to cultural differences, he errs right there in the palace?

I have stated in other posts and threads on this forum that I have been fortunate to travel around this great nation and visit different traditional rulers for different reasons.

One thing I have found in common is that the hospitality and cultural handlers (or special assistants) to the palaces usually explain the do's and dont's of the host community.

I want to know really, what the Eze Igbo said that would have warranted the violent reaction.
If he was found to have erred he must apologize and the initial matter be settled.

With the kind of responses I read here in this forum it would seem that there is a subhuman hatred for the Igbo. The reason I say this is because we hear Nairalanders threaten fire and brimstone ok the igbo's as if the flogging of the Eze Igbo wa not enough humiliation.

When the tables turn and these youth are found to err in another man's land where ever on this earth they may find themselves, I hope and pray their hosts will be more merciful than the youth in the palace of the paramount ruler, the Deji of Akure.

Ioannes:
why won't they over flog the issue. it is paining them. they boasted up and down this forum and many more that the yorubas are cowards.

now the same Yorubas flog them and their eze, why won't it pain them now.

if I was living in some other climes I think the appropriate thing is to respect their tradition and cultural values, not these people o.

they provoke you, you react, they start playing victim. that sums them up doesn't it?

IGBOSON1:
I concur! Never give anyone that hates you any excuse to vent their pent up hatred and frustrations on you.....they'll do it given half a chance!

Though the picture you painted of Yoruba youths pursuing their Oba from his palace is a funny one....just had to suppress a chuckle! They probably dobaled for the dude in the morning then carry matchete pursue am comot from im palace for evening!

steveeeee5:
instead of you to find a way to lift the curse given to you when you were caught fvcking a 4yrs old boy in the azz. ok since you do not have a repentant spirit now listen as i add more curse to you now.. let the earth bear witness let the moon bear witness let the sun bear witness as long as you live you will be uncontrollably and incurably epileptic in and out of season, all your decendants will continue to fvck their mothers from generation to generation, you will continue to face untold hardship and lack all your life, even a running water from tap will see you and seize its water because of the mark of curse and penury on your forehead.. as long as the sun rules the day and as the moon rules the night so shall this curse be ever fresh all your life and even your children will inherit it like property and so shall their children children till eternity.. amen

Hahahaha. FAYOSE!! The only fearless Yoloba man I know... I will love to be like you when I grow old.


Baba Fayose knows dat the Daura illiterate has no single gut to probe our hero GEJ.
He's even suffering from dementia, so how does he even think he will remember what happened yesterday.


Don't be surprised if Femi comes out to deny dis tomorrow. Don't say I didn't tell u. Cos when an illiterate rules, the people regret!!

React to Waku :
Pay Waku no attention- Tinubu Media Office

No one should pay former Senator Waku any attention. We know when he is broke and needs a quick fix. What he has said is fit for the trash.  Waku is Godwin Daboh resurrected. No one should dignify Waku's tales by moonlight with any attention or ever take him serious.  For any serious individual with a reputation to protect Waku is a very poor hire. Waku is an individual with no shred of reputation and a  political pariah In his home state. Tinubu does not run or dictate to the EFCC. And like countless others Tinubu has also being investigated by the EFCC severely in the past. Tinubu has no hand in the travails of any one because  he is right now very  busy working with others of like mind  on how the APC political agenda can set sail as quickly as possible. That is the urgency of now and not the tantrums of the likes of Waku.

Spybradd:
you are getting me wrong totally,gej wad equally denied access to weaponry by the same west hence his decision to head down south agrica....buhari can follow suit too,like you urself said in your own post,to the east,to south africa,to ...anywhere else like gej did and was unnecessary ridiculed for....we are virtually saying the same thing and if you got my drift,you should've known that i was indirectly pointing fingers at buhari who has suddenly found himself in that same spotlite and scene gej found himself...

Spybradd:
i begin to wonder how you've forgotten that gej had similar issue and headed down south Africa via the private jet of a certain clergyman..a private jet stashed with a $1b...

tony,pls always try and decipher and read
between lines na,haba..

steveeeee5:
My dad is a bastard. My mom is a prostitute. My disgraceful birth has brought a generational curse on me. I am cursed from my birth to the end of my life. I will never know peace and evil will never depart from my home. Everything I lay my hands on this year is cursed. There is no remedy for my cursed head other than to be a wanderer all the days of my life.

Spybradd:

Chiaka:
You don't get it they don't want them anywhere near their place is too to hard to understand has nothing to do with being scared or not. If you so wish write a letter of request to post them to your place.........and lastly stop having sleepless nights about Ibos your post is so full of hate.

lunaticfringe:
Guy take chill pill... Maga, mugu, or mumu sef, the truth is that he(Kanu) is not just waking the minds of biafran youths up from the delusions of grandeur in a system which is partial to max, but also he is teaching about the way things are run in this pathetic contraption of a country... I'm not one to try and tutor you a bit but I did like it if you get to listen to his program then you will understand why he calls your type monkeys and baboons...

lunaticfringe:
Why don't you want to rest, eh What's with you? Abi dey swear for you? Btw, why you dey call me maga? ... Moreover I wud want to give him my savings only if he will let me....

Rose2014:
You Yorubas are so confused

You threaten us with lagoon in Lagos and call us immigrants. You rejoice when u hear BH killed an Igbo man in the north. You rejoice at the marginalization of Igbos, but then u don't want us to have Biafra.

I've never seen a people more confused
