Chairman of Anambra East Traditional Rulers Council, Igwe Alex Edozieuno in a letter announcing Igwe Ameke’s suspension, directed that “an observer from Umueri should be nominated to be attending a meeting of royal fathers in the area while the suspension lasts.”
The suspension letter was copied to the chairman of Anambra State Traditional Rulers Council and Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Nnaemeka Achebe, the state commissioner for chieftaincy affairs, the police and Department of State Service, DSS, among others.
It was gathered that during a reception for Obiano, who was on a ‘thank you’ tour to the area, Igwe Ameke grabbed the kola nuts from the Senior Special Assistant to Governor, Mr. Anthony Oli on the ground that he was son of the soil and therefore the right person to break the kola nut.

ReplyDeleteHaa..ndi igwe anyi ogini?
ReplyDeleteI thought kola but breaking should be the done by the oldest person in the gathering? The person can now decide to call on an indigene of the place to do the honours.
Mtcheew...

ReplyDeleteGoing by tradition, the Igwe is right oh. Unless there's something we don't know.
ReplyDeleteTradition? The Igwe himself is not part of Igbo tradition anyway. A descendant of a warrant chief planted by the colonisers to control and subdue the igbos who traditionally did not have monarchs.
