Eko Atlantic: When are these people going to learn it mandatory to respect the tradition and culture of their hosts?

They blamed Hausas for hating them, said Ikweres are envious of them, shout of genocide in yoruba land, cry when South Africans deal with them, same with Botswana, Malaysia, Kenya, China and now Ghana.

Is it not in the same Accra Yorubas celebrated 200 years they've migrated to Ghana and living peacefully with their hosts.

These people better check themselves in the mirror and make necessary adjustment in their manners toward other people.

Did you actually read the piece before replying?

It is about a FELLOW IGBO trying to install himself as an Eze of Igbos living in Ghana. The Igbos have rejected it, as it is not an Igbo tradition to have a king of all Igbos.....ANYWHERE.

It is not Ghanaians trying to install anyone....they don't do that.

Go back and read the piece again please.

Don't stress it.

You know how impulsive Nigerians are.

You all need to respect yourselves.

The General: Igbos In Ashanti Region Oppose Installation Of Chief

Date: 20-Aug-2013

The 1,000-member strong Igbo
community in the Ashanti Region
has opposed a planned installation
of an Igbo chief of the region by a
group residing in Accra.

According to them, someone in Accra
who described himself as “Eze Ndi
Igbo” of Ghana (the King of Igbos in
Ghana) and his agents were
preparing feverishly to install an Igbo
chief in the Ashanti Region, which is
against the tradition of the Igbo
people.

They explained that the Igbos in the
Ashanti Region were committed to
peace and would, therefore, not
allow anyone or group of people to
create confusion in the region.

A statement issued by the Igbo
community in Ashanti Region, after a
meeting in Kumasi, said, by their
tradition, the installation of heads of
Igbo communities in the 10 regions
of the country is done at the regional
level and not by anyone residing
outside a particular region.

The statement signed by Mr John
Chukwu Korie, the President of the
Igbo community in Ashanti Region,
and others, welcomed the position
taken by the various Igbo
communities in the remaining nine
regions of Ghana not to pay homage
to any Igbo King of Ghana because
such an office or royalty did not
exist.

The statement said the Igbo
community in the Ashanti Region was
duly registered for the welfare of its
members and would not hesitate to
hand over to the appropriate security
agents illegal chiefs or their agents
who will disturb the peace of the
Igbos in the Ashanti Region.

“For the moment, the Igbos in
Ashanti Region have no chief and as
well are not supporting any ‘Eze’ and
assume there is no ‘Eze Ndi Igbo’ in
Ghana,” the statement said.

While commending the chiefs and
people of the Ashanti Region for
their hospitality that had enabled
Igbos to live in the region in peace
over the years, the statement gave
an assurance that nothing would be
done to disturb such peace.

It commended the Nigeria High
Commissioner in Ghana, Mr Ademola
Oluseyi Onafowokan, for his untiring
efforts and commitment to peace
among Nigerians in Ghana.

Eko Atlantic....please tell me in no uncertain terms what the actual piece posted here says.

You read it again......and see if you wont actually realize your mistake.

Eko Atlantic:

Man, I'm standing by earlier posts, no mistake or any misinterpretation.
My point is that must it only be the Igbo that we hear of anytime they are outside their lands? We want this.. We don't want that...
Mehn, you're not in your home to chose what suit you and what doesn't. You just have to blend with whatever comes and make necessary adjustment.

londoner:

I asked you to tell me in your words, what the piece actually is saying.

I knew you would try and get around it, because the moment you do, it will be clear to all that you failed to comprehend what it actually said.

So, Eko Atlantic......what was the article saying?

St_Ichimaro.Gin:


And tell me, does it not have a SIMILAR scenario with what held sway at the Ladipo saga?

Eko Atlantic:

If you think the responses I've given does not correlate with the article, well it's your thought which I have no problem with.
I assume no sane person on this forum won't be able to grab the gist of the article.
But I'm sure you got my own view and interpretation about the whole write-up. Again, you all need to live with others without being too forceful and loud mouthed.

londoner:

The same question goes to you....what bis the article actually saying?

I really don't know why both yourself and Eko atlantic, are unable to just write what you understand the piece to be saying here.

And no, it is not in any way similar to Ladipo market, although you would like it to be.

Go back and read it......lol

londoner:


Just tell to me in your own words, what you think the article is saying.
You response is actually evidence that you actually DID NOT comprehend what was being said in the article.

St_Ichimaro.Gin:


ok , what says the article?
In simplicity, it says someone (whether Ghanian by logic or not) presented himself as king of igbos BUT was rejected by the visitors (igbos) themselves.
Lets say he was a Ghanian, pls tell me, if such individual sees the a part of Accra as his fatherland, and decides impact his land through rulership, so you mean he his not entitled to such position?

bro, no hocus about that. U people lack both manners & charity to respect ur boundaries , especially in cultural matters like this.
....
No wonder you are victims of discrimination !!!

Eko Atlantic:

Well, I just realized I'm not the only one you're doubting about rightfully comprehension of the article and you are also the only one doubting others if they understood what it says.
Meaning I've actually wasted my time responding to u.
Enjoy man...

londoner:

This is why I asked you to explain what you understood of the article.

Let me explain to you what the article says.

1- An IGBO person is trying to install himself as an Eze over ALL Igbos in Ghana.

The Igbo community has rejected this, as it is NOT AN IGBO TRADITION TO HAVE A KING OVER ALL IGBOS. You know yourself there is no such title, not even in Nigeria.

The Igbos are vocally letting people know that this person parading himself as such is doing so FRAUDULENTLY.

It has NOTHING TO DO WITH A NON IGBO person trying to be 'King of Igbos'.

Ghanaians would never even seek to do such a thing.

Nebeuwa:

Did you even read the article? Before you write something, maybe you should read it first and digest the article before sounding like a fool. The Igbos in this article are against an Eze Ndigbo being forced on them by other Igbos.

londoner:


Thank you....Comprehension and the need to adopt position against the Igbos, NO MATTER WHAT, is the problem here.
