freeDR:My understanding is that there is Eze and there is Igwe, while Eze is by heritage and family line like the Obas and Emirs, Igwe is selected by election. The Ezes are the royal kings. 1 Like |

freeDR:It means you don't know the Igbo culture. Before the coming of the Europeans, Igbos do have kingdoms and perpetual royalty, Nri and Aro as a case study. Igbos also practice rotational royalty in so many towns even up till date, there are conditions attached to being an Igwe in some towns, like in mine, both your paternal and maternal ancestry must be from the town and your village must be the next in line for the throne. As for the Emirs and Obas, Igbos are republicans in nature, our culture detest absolute monarchy. Igbos have been practicing democracy before the coming of the Europeans, we have the Igwe or Obi (President) Ndi Ichie(Senators) Ndi nze na ozo ( House of Representatives) Arusi (judiciary) due to the fact that the traditional religion was the official religion then. That is why it was easy for the British to apply direct rule in Igboland because the system that they met are similar to theirs. And uptill today an Igwe and the community can agree and banish someone from their communities and that will stand even in law court. 1 Like 1 Share |

MurderX:Not true biko. Some Igbo towns address them as Igwe while some use Eze or Obi. We have Igwe of Nnewi and the reverred stool is not by selection but through heritage. |

Very arrogant Igwe. The community too is small. He battled to get there. If not for arrogance how would he say “a mere Chief”? When he was a Chief did he look at himself as a mere chief? Jagbajantis intete! |

Salewa97: And so, what about it? How has the presence of an Oba, Ooni, Deji or Soun changed the Yoruba land? Even the traditional rulers you have you still disrespect them like the Deji of Lagos, and the Soun of Ogbomosho so, what is the point in having them? |

freeDR: Hence the popular saying..Igo enweghi eze...The igbos had an ancient,well preserved Republican system of Government..While the skull miners and herdsmen were running around groveling before their Obas and their Emirs who in turn were groveling before their Portuguese,British,French paymasters. |

IgboWarlord: You're a hopeless fool for making this into an ethnic war. I'm a Yoruba man, and my comment was made out of facts and it was devoid of ethnic bias. But here you are. Reasonable Igbos have replied my comment without any ethnic slurs until you limped in with your head full of shit. Oloriburuku. 1 Like |

Nnannapat:only few towns in Igboland were kingdoms before colonists came. The average Igbo society was governed by kindred. NRI itself although is the oldest in west Africa was more of theocracy than an actual monarchy. |
