A traditional ruler in Osun State, Oba Abdurasheed Akanbi, the Oluwo of Iwoland, has posited that South Easterners would find it difficult to produce the president of Nigeria until they are ready to accommodate other tribes to flourish in their land.

He advised them to have a rethink in their approach to socio economic development of Nigeria to shape their political destiny.

The monarch in a statement by his Press Secretary, Alli Ibrahim, on Sunday, said people everywhere allowed other tribes to own a land and be conducive in their domains except the South Easterners who deprived other people from owing a land in their places.

The monarch who also condemned the sit-at-home order in the South Eastern part of the country, maintained that “such self inflicted punishment is not only inimical to their survival but also to the growth of the nation.
He insisted that a Nigerian in Nigeria should be able to own land anywhere.

“I have people from across Nigeria in Iwo including the South Easterners, they did not only have their businesses but also build their houses and own farm lands. Such is not only peculiar to Iwo but to other parts of the country except the south east. A Nigerian in Nigeria should be able to own land anywhere.

“The in house style by south easterners is barbaric. They go out their zone to establish businesses and even settled their family but refused to allow people within our country to have similar access to their land. Such is not only detrimental to their economic viability but also to their political recognition. As a traditional ruler, I can’t trust a south easterners as my president.

“You can’t be a leader on sectional interest. With such unsophisticated, primitive and uncivilized thinking, no Nigerians from other zones will vote you as their president,” Oluwo stated.

Dem still dey impeach oba for your village?

Normally, Oluwo shouldn’t meddle into the SE affairs but the Ohaneze elders have been meddling into the SW affairs these days so I think Oluwo is right on this.

Baba don talk say it’s not yet time for Ibo presidency say make them go solo for now.

Ohaneze should take the advice and stop disturbing us everyday with their “Tinubu & Osinbajo should not contest” rhetorics.

This is hate speech..

Oluwo, I have a 50m/50m plot of land. I wanna sell it.
Price: N50million.
Location: Nnewi South, Anambra state

Hmm, a trad ruler hammering on divisive indices is bad fr the unity of con3,

an igbo man is proud and a capitalist in nature hence their kinda expensive land besides thw fact that SE is small in landmass,.


This Oba has alws bn a disgrace to the traditional institutions

Shey una dey hear?

Small-minded elements like the assumed Oba - let me still believe that he was quoted out of context - always think that everyone is foolish not to see through their shenanigans; people that have always mistaken their expedient disposition for cleverness; disingenuousness for diplomacy/civility, and servility for wisdom. Nonsense.

Making such a callous and unfounded statement when he can't point out where it's established that the South Easterns do not sell lands to people from other tribes is a pointer to my points above.

So IPOB terrorists can burn the house?

No sane person will leave the peaceful SW and go ahead to invest in the SE. Even the inhabitants are running away from the place like it’s some war torn region.

I posted this on April 7th. No Yoruba or Hausa has indicated interest. That Yoruba monarch should crawl out from his hole and TRAVEL AND SEE



Those saying that Igbo people don't sell lands in southeast to other tribes, here is an offer to debunk that false statement.

2 plots of land for sale in Aba in a good location close to Aba- PH expressway.

Asking price: 42 million naira.

If you are not Igbo, discount of 500,000 naira.

Oya, put the post to real test.

SW the skull mining capital of the world is very peaceful indeed.

Sophisticated skull miners everywhere..

What a Stu.ped excuse, these people are mad

GBAM!!

To make matters worse, they'll open their mouths wa to say Lagos is no man's land.. I guess it's SE governor's caucus meetings that the Lagos state governor attends. Irredeemable bigots.

They go to Lagos, Abuja, Kano etc. buy lands, build and settle there but will never sell land to other tribes in their enclave, claiming some ancestors will be angry and whatnot. Later they'll be shouting people are holding them back from getting biafra abi they are the ones running away from the biafra. Nonsense!

But the useless oluwa of son of bastard is from land of skull trading, land where human head is useless as 20k naija money
