To ensure harmonious relations between Ndigbo and their
hosts all over the world, especially in Nigeria, they prohibited the crowning
of Eze Ndigbo outside Igboland. They specifically prohibited the use of the
following appellations: His Royal Majesty, His Royal Highness, His Highness and
His Imperial Majesty.
This came as President Muhammadu Buhari, yesterday, said
that in spite of challenges, Nigerians are determined to remain together as a
united country just as the pro-Biafra protests continued in
Umuahia, the Abia
State capital and at Nnamdi Kanu’s home. Nnamdi Kanu is the Director of Radio
Biafra, who is still being detained by the Federal Government.
Meanwhile, the Nigeria Army has vowed to crush any
insurrection and restore law and order, if called upon as Imo State Governor,
Owelle Rochas Okorocha, after listening to leaders of the Movement for the
Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, called for urgent
restructuring of the country to contain the widening disquiet and discontent.
Speaking at the launching of the 2016 Armed Forces
Remembrance Emblem at the Presidential Villa, Buhari said: “Today’s occasion
reminds us of the need to appreciate the noble contributions of our fallen
heroes who paid the supreme sacrifice to maintain national and international
peace and security.
“Our nation has recently celebrated 55 years of political
independence and continues to remain as one indivisible entity despite several
grievous challenges. Since independence, Nigeria has witnessed a lot of internal
strife, survived a civil war and has remained united.
“This feat achieved by the country is an eloquent testimony
to the determination of our citizens to remain as one people. The sacrifices of
our fallen heroes, heroines, and veterans who rose up to the security
challenges cannot go unnoticed.
