The Deji of Akureland in Ondo State, Oba Aladetoyinbo Aladelusi yesterday listed conditions for truce with the estranged Eze Ndigbo of Akure, Gregory Iloehike.
One of the condition was that the Igbo leader is forbidden from wearing any form of crown henceforth.
Oba Aladelusi gave the conditions during a meeting Governor Olusegun Mimiko had with him and the Akure Council of Chiefs in Akure on the lingering crisis.
The governor had earlier met with the Igbo leaders led by the embattled Eze Ndigbo, Iloehike at the governors office.
Ileohike was said to have denied disrespecting the Oba and pleaded with the governor to help resolve the over one-week crisis.
Other conditions include that the Eze Ndigbo must apologize for his unruly behaviour in at least three national dailies and on air.
“That the Igbo leader must write a letter of apology to Oba Aladetoyinbo Ogunlade Aladelusi and the Deji-in-Council.
“That the title ‘Eze Ndigbo’ must be reviewed and replaced with a non-controversial honorary title and that the Igbo Leader must comply with all the earlier directives of the palace.’’
Dr Mimiko, however, apologized to the Oba on behalf of the Igbo Leader. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Is this so called Eze Igbo not a Nigerian citizen? you are an IGBO man for God's sake. Igbo land does not extend to Akure therefore, you can not be an Eze Igbo in that land even if you were crowned in Igboland. Your crown is territorial, my advice as an informed Igboman is for you to drop the Title and apologise to no man born of an unknown woman. The Igboman my father told me I am does not live an apologetic life,he fights battles and leave the worries of war to others and falls like a soldier should he ever go down. Do not APOLOGISE except you are an IBOMAN!
ReplyDeleteIt is foolishness and emptiness of the bunch of semi literate igbos whose thirst for title has no end that is bringing ridicule and disdain to their tribe. I understand if other tribes are this shameless. The igbo society is an acephalous one. Traditionally they did not have kings thereby no Kingdom. But they organised themselves in a democratic fashion by taking decision at village squares in an enviable democratic fashion . Ibos deserve pity for trading away this culture for baseless fame and greed
DeleteWell spoken. I am of the opinion that the Igbos outside Igbo land should drop this madness called Eze ndigbo.
DeleteIgbos have no king except God Almighty.
Please drop this madness and stop opportunists from insulting the integrity of the Igbo race.
Deji of Akure you are nothing but an empty versel.
ReplyDeleteThese Igbo people are a terrible nuisance. Can a Yoruba man wear a royal crown in Iboland? You come to my town and can't respect the ruler?
ReplyDeleteDis is tribalism... Unfair! But let Eze Ndi Igbo not apologize for any reason. Dey are begining to denounce Biafra by demselves!
ReplyDeleteBiafra for real, I saw it coming, we are free at last, let's build our home, being king in another man's kingdom get as bi.
ReplyDeleteAm always proud of ibos, other tribes can not do what their are doing. Thank u.
Yoruba people sha!
ReplyDeleteThe Yoruba should be careful and alert, so that our land will not be taken away in the name of being a Nigerian and therefore free to live anywhere . But not to encroach on others land and authority. The ibos started this in Lagos and trying to apply it in Akure. No crown for any tribe on our land , go to your land to be crowned.
ReplyDeleteAfter Biafra is achieved, your leaders will then turn against each other. They already are.
ReplyDeleteThis cannot happen in any igboland. Let him do as directed or face the music.
ReplyDeleteEven in Ibo land, do they have Eze Ndigbo?
ReplyDeleteWhy foment trouble?
To the yoruba monachs and others who are too hard on Ndi Igbo. Nothin is permanent. You should not mistreat people who contribute to economic and social development of your towns and cities. Do not capitalise on any misdeeds to wreck havoc on them. There are better ways to settle and resolve issues and call those involved to order to avert future occurance. And to the Igbos, begin to think home and do not put all your eggs in one basket. Investments and saving at home are far better and safer than those outside. Let your voice be one.
ReplyDeleteEze Ndigbo title should be abolished nation wide because Igbo culture does not even recognise it. These people create titles to feed their personal egos without considering how it affects the culture of their hosts. He can be the chairman of his association which he really is. That title won't be recognized when he gets to his village. I'm an Igbo man.
ReplyDeleteHausas have Seriki wherever they live. Who has ever questioned that? Once it is an Igbo man, then all manner of hate words and molestation are let loose on them. Igbos, learn from our persecution nationwide... Invest at home ooo. Ukpana okpoko buru, obu kwa nti chiri ya ooo
ReplyDeleteSerikis don't use crown, Yoruba believe is that there should not be more than one crowned king in a town
DeleteBecause of their ego that is worrying them. Can Yoruba wear crown in IBO land
DeleteI don't seem to get the issue here ? How does a man who calls himself President of his company, General of his church, God of his family or EZE Igbo of his community affect an Oba ? Seems we have lost it in this country. God save us.
ReplyDeleteThe IGBOs are power drunk they started this in Lagos and now Akure in far away Ondo State,the EZEs will always want to be recognize as a king in another mans domain,he will want to be treated and respected as a king outside the IGBO LAND. QUESTION FOR THE IGBOS Point 1. can any other tribe in Nigeria do this in IGBOLAND,2 can a non indgen claim any form of ownership in IGBOLAND as a whole.Even the IGBOs dont LOVE & TRUST ONE ANOTHER.just recently ANAMBRA STATE ban non-indigene from riding OKADA, mind you not a total ban on OKADA, state indigenes can ride OKADA no qwams, VISIT THE STATE WEB-SITE to read more anambrariansnews.com.ng › Core Anambra local News again not long ago my belove state ABIA STATE SACK ALL NON INDIGEN in the state civil service, Governor Theodore Orji discussed with fellow South East governors.
ReplyDeleteSo i now ask where is the UNITY IN THIS OUR BIAFRA, the IGBO NATION MY PRIDE MY LIFE
