My Sincerest Apologies To The Oba Of Akure; by Nobody: 5:18pm On Oct 17, 2015 |
As a result of the out roar in the social media over the recent happenings in Akure, Ondo state, caused by the Eze Ndigbo of Akure flogging, me being a part of the team that criticised the Obas actions have come to apologise to the Oba and the Yorubas over the action of the Eze of Akure. After doing some indepth research and reading some articles I found out that the story had been exaggerated and blown out of proportion that the Eze was at fault. A King passed a law in his domain stating that the Eze of Akure had been removed, instead of the Eze to humbly beg that the law be reversed in the most quiet and diplomatic manner available, the Eze organised a protest questioning his removal, to me that was utter show of disrespect and I support the Oba for his action. Note; (1) this is the same treatment that a fellow yoruba would have undergone if he or she had behaved in such manner not that the Oba was witch hunting anybody. (2) if this kind of behavior was displayed in the north or in a place like Bayelsa or some Niger delta areas by now not only would the Eze be beaten the youths would attack and start looting igbo shops around. (3) kudos to the yorubas for handling this matter is the most matured way possible, truly u guys are accommodating. * I cant understand yoruba but below is the protest video, watch if u can, its a proof that the protest really took place* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuVYM1Rz3tc God bless Yoruba land. God bless Igbo land. God bless Nigeria. Let peace reign. 22 Likes 2 Shares |

Moments of truth... I watch the video and see that there was an affront by the Eze on the royal stool of Akure as claimed in the news clip. A political / diplomatic approach could have resolved the fracas, instead of resulting to protest and blockage of all roads in Akure by the Ndigbos in support of the dethroned Eze. The Deji of Akure position remains, the Igbo community in Akure should nominate another Chief as the former stands removed. Peaceful coexistence is the way forward because... "At the core of coexistence is the awareness that individuals and groups differ in numerous ways including class, ethnicity, religion, gender, and political inclination. These group identities may be the causes of conflicts, contribute to the causes of conflicts, or may be solidified as conflicts develop and escalate". Sorry for the long epistle... Khaminwa (2003) posited coexistence below: Coexistence has been defined in numerous ways: To exist together (in time or place) and to exist in mutual tolerance. To learn to recognize and live with difference. To have a relationship between persons or groups in which none of the parties is trying to destroy the other. To interact with a commitment to tolerance, mutual respect, and the agreement to settle conflicts without recourse to violence. However, peace is better than war. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Shalom! E&OE 16 Likes 1 Share |

IGBOPRINCE:watch the video. The yorubas are not kids in this Nigeria, they have witnessed things, done things and made decisions, they know how to think far, most of these Niaraland yorubas that if u go through there post u wud be seeing curses all through I discovered are the most harmless ones. I know stuffs like this would have happened in Lagos at one point in time, the fact that they managed it in the best and peaceful way possible tells alot about them, me I prefer to be a coward let my state be as developed as Lagos than to be brave and let my state be backward. 29 Likes 1 Share |

Well done Op. It's clear this is not about Igbo or no Igbo. It's about the personal character flaw of the man/ the Eze. See him riding in a car with protesters around him! As Op said this is a wrong way. 15 Likes |

It would be wrong for him to call himself the Eze of Akure, if however he was the Eze Ndigbo of Akure, I see no justification in the Deji meddling in the affairs of his Igbo subjects. 17 Likes 1 Share |

Seriously, the Eze Ndigbo guy was rude. He needs to learn the art of diplomacy. Deji is not even against Eze Ndigbo title. From what he said, he is favorably disposed to naming another person Eze Ndigbo. I love his Akure dialect, smooth, flowing and original. Akure Oloyemekun!!! 25 Likes 2 Shares |

Is the eze ndigbo also known as eze ndiyoruba? Yorubastards shud focus on their people and forget about the igbos and their ezes. In Rivers where i come from, the igbos have same set of people parading as eze ndigbo yet, nobody gives a hoot about that. Its purely an igbo man's business. If anybody shud fight over the eze thingy in yoruba land, it shud be the igbos and not yorubas. unless the yorubas want to tell the world that dey dont fancy a liberal society. 32 Likes 2 Shares |

Arrogant Eze in his SUV with plate number Eze Ndigo 1. The Deji is not against Eze, He said if the igbos want Eze they should send another name to him. I have remove this current Eze,he shouldnt wear beads or crown within Akure,if he's out of Akure or his Village he can put on beads and crown,the igbos should send another name that will serve as chairman of the igbos.

Iykopee: It's not about a liberal society thing. It's about respecting the culture and tradition of your society, the very essence why there is something called customary law in Nigeria, something that's expressly codified in our constitution. The prevailing customs and tradition of Akure might be different from that of Benin, and that of Onitsha also different from Ife's. It is on the basis of these customs that traditionalists can sometimes impose curfew even as long as seven days. A case in point was when Ooni joined his ancestors. Oro, even in some parts of Lagos, is still being observed. It's one thing to despise such customs, it's entirely another to knowingly attempt to desecrate it. Also, Deji has a right to depose him. The title was not conferred on him by his fellow Igbo but by Oba Adepoju, the one that was deposed for engaging in abominable act (he supervised the beating of his wife). So the authority that conferred the chieftancy title on him can equally disrobe him. 23 Likes 2 Shares |

jaymichael:to me its right, if the yorubas hadnt stopped him from trying to lord over that one market, very soon he would repeat same in another market. If the yorubas over look that one too, very soon he might start passing laws in the land. Thats the domination tendency northerners detest about we igbos lets try to curb it. 13 Likes |
