Yoruba Group Backs Akure Monarch On Eze Ndigbo Title, Says No Igbo King In Akure (Page 3)

Ndigbo enwere Eze. Ndigbo do not have a KING but kings in Igbo lands. Every man is a king of his home. Ndigbo are naturally and historically republicans hence any Igbo indigenes that form or bear the so called title of Ezendigbo whether in Igbo lands or abroad are fools. As matter of facts, the persons are only deceiving themselves. I agree the connotations of these Yoruba groups not to recognise any so called Eze Ndigbo in Yoruba lands but the context their statement is based is not acceptable. If one Oba of any Yoruba segments visits Igbo land or Hausa land does that person's forfeit his Oba title because he is in foreign land? The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi and his 4 wives caused a little commotion when they shopped recently in London, Westfield. People of Yoruba decent were bowing and others of non-Yoruba decent respected and accorded due respects and diligences.
The point to all this is no one should be Eze-Ndigbo because such title is very much alien to Igbo culture and history. However, an Eze from Igbo land can reside in Yoruba land and still maintain his royalty and due respects and diligences should be accorded to him. That Eze should represent his people in that Yoruba land just like the Oba will if he happens to find himself in Igbo land.

Those who have ears let them hear. PMB, the country is under your watch. While the nation is at war (supposedly) with corruption, it's time to also address this type of antagonistic leadership. While the nation thinks it appropriate to arrest Nnamdi Kanu for supporting a movement for emancipation, the govt should not allow any king to operate with divisiveness.
