Someone needs orientate this our primitive Obas on how they conferred chieftain on foreigners .This titles are of cultural values and should not be rubbished ,the Chinese man doesn't see you equally as you might ever suggested .Nigeria and her people getting more knowledge of the world around us and this trend streaming down from the youths through inter-relationship on social network,traveling and exchanges programmes in our campuses.This Oba should know at least better or enquire before unilaterally taking such weighty decision on cultural titles convocation on a Chinese man.The Chinese working in Africa are not there as individual /group interest but are there to represent their government interest ,and execution of project contracted by both government but financed by Nigeria government .Its not like a humanitarian gesture the Chinese workers building roads around the states but a government initiative and government project.So ,the idea of conferring chieftain on a Chinese government worker is out of respect for our own government and our people ,such will not be reciprocated if vise versa .The lack of information and understanding of other culture is reflecting seriously on our cultural leaders.
I understand where you are coming from but do you know that even Nigerians are honoured by the queen in England, which is the equivalent of chieftaincy in africa, anywhichway things like chieftaincy should be rightly based on merit and not appointment like its something divine and some sort of rubbish gods select some random barger to be chief and blah blah blah, it should mainly be based on good deeds and peopek who rightly represent their kingdom
