Igbo Traders In Akure Shut Their Shops To Protest The Dethronement Of Eze Ndigbo by Movic1(m): 10:55am On Oct 15, 2015 |
MARKETS across the Ondo State capital Akure have been operating below par as Igbo traders shut up shop in protest at the ongoing dispute between traditional rulers the Deji of Akure and the Eze Ndigbo. Earlier this week, Sir Gregory Iloehike was enthroned as the Eze Ndigbo of Akure in his own palace but the Deji, Oba Aladetoyinbo Odundun II opposed the move saying the city cannot have two traditional rulers. He subsequently marched to the Eze Ndigbo's palace and asked that it be shut down. Regarded as the leader of Igbos in Akure, the Eze Ndigbo, who is the deputy national president of Ndi Eze’N’Association of Uzo Ije in Diaspora, was actually originally named to the position in August 2011 but only just assumed the title. With the Deji of Akure adamant that he will dethrone , Sir Iloehike, Igbos in the city have decided to shut down their shops in protest. Early this morning, Ndigbo, who converged on their secretariat at Gbogi Street as early as 7am, warned the Deji of Akure against dethroning the Eze Ndigbo. They insisted that the traditional ruler has no power to dethrone Sir Iloehike, who is the head of the migrant community, not under him. Oba Odundun II had accused the Eze Ndigbo of insubordination and disrespect. However, Sir Iloehike said he was not rude to the Deji, adding that he contributed immensely to the monarch’s installation. Sir Iloehike added: “The Deji called me at 8.48pm last Sunday inviting me to his palace and I honoured his invitation on Monday morning. I went with one of my chiefs but when I got to the palace, I saw youths numbering over 200 who started shouting as I entered. “I suspected that they were mobilised by the monarch and I showed respect to him by prostrating but the monarch threatened to drive out the Igbo from Akure and when I asked why, the youth descended on me. They tore my beads and removed my crown and they attempted to beat me but the police officers at the palace rescued me.” He said Igbos had been living harmoniously in Akure for over 70 years without any friction with the natives and urged the Deji-in-council not to cause any inter-ethnic crisis in the state. High Chief Okechukwu Okorie, the president of Ohaneze Ndigbo, maintained that any attempt to dethrone the Eze Ndigbo would be resisted by the Igbo. Chief Okorie noted that Sir Iloehike has not committed any offence. He added that only the Igbo who elected Sir Iloehike have the right to remove him. |

What concern VC with the president of Akwa Ibom State Students Union? Does VC has power to remove the president of Akwa ibom State Students Union? If answer is no, then the Deji of Akure is wrong. Disintegration is the option 1 Like |

To what end is this nonsense? I must confess my disappointment in the Deji, he stooped too low to do that. Without any disagreement you suddenly woke up with a hateful and tribal sentiment. Could it be fear ? But fear of what ? There has been no threat to his throne. The igbos are doing their thing, why won't he let em be ! That says a lot on how solecistic that Oba is. Obas take actions for reasonable and noble causes, but this is a sheer case of a repressed bigotry. Cowards ! 5 Likes |

Nicklaus:He was made Eze Indigbo by few traders in d market does not make him an equal to the Deji or his throne. U should understand that. That is why Nigerians need to go to school to understand cultural relativism in our society. Respect d culture of others if u need to be respected. If was there at d time of flogging this so called Eze Indigbo, I would have introduced to them a particular Cain we use in my community to flog disrespectful community members called" Ere kenke". After flogging d Eze with this "Ere kenke", he will renounce his EzeEzeship there instantly 3 Likes |

Y do U people like looking for trouble where there is peace? Go everywhere in Nigeria, even abroad, due to the nature of Igbos' to migrate, they always have a leader who happens to be the king they go to and that represents them. They are very busy people who does not have time to rub shoulder with anyone. Your king is just feeling inferior! 3 Likes 1 Share |

redsconsult: Young man, a cap is NOT a crown You cannot get a "crown" by being voted as an Eze or president of a sociocultural group!!! You CANNOT become a Head of state and commander in chief of the armed forces just by registering a company an the CAC & giving yourself the title "president" and distributing beautiful complimentary cards!!! That man had no crown as he had no staff of office and most especially had no kingdom!!! Sociocultural organizations are strongly encouraged by host Oba or real keeper of the crown! Why - they organize foreigners quickly at their own cost to "toe the line" of their host - they shelter and care for their own and prevent embarrassing situations to both parties - they support their own in trouble-times example transport their dead and bereaved family back to their home - as you can see sociocultural organizations are highly encouraged by host communities and I don't need to go on here The "real keeper of the crown" should know who he or she is and usually are never seen showing inferiority complex!!! 1 Like |
