Nigerians Must Refrain From Ghanaian Politics—Igbo King In Ghana Warns
In an effort to promote good behaviour, peace and
sanity among all Nigerians in diaspora, His Royal
Highness Dr. Chukwudi Ihenetu, Eze Indigbo in
Ghana has entreated fellow Nigerians in Ghana and
beyond to exhibit high sense of respect and
conformity where ever they find themselves off the
shores of Nigeria in order to send good message
back home.

Particularly in the case of Nigerians in Ghana,
HRH Dr. Ihenetu opined that very soon the Ghanaian
political season will arrive for Ghanaians to
elect their preferred political party flag bearers
and eventually a president for the country. In
this light he forbids any Nigerian for that matter
to engage themselves whatsoever in any of such
exercises. He has also cautioned that no Nigerian
should be mentioned to have engaged themselves
with any strike action in Ghana, nor should they
be involved in public riots and gang thievery as
such news has for some time tarnished the image of
Nigerians in the diaspora. He said such news
should end.

He spoke in an exclusive interview with
Modernghana.com after he had officially conferred
chieftaincy tittles unto Madam Laverne Adekunle
and Dr. Sharron Parrish both from United Kingdom.
After the coronationtion of the two, they both
assumed stool names respectively with Madam
Laverne Adekunle now officially referred as Ada Di
Ora Nma (meaning Worthy Daughter) and Dr. Sharron
Parrish as Nne Umu Ogbenyen (meaning Mother of the
Motherless).

According to HRH Dr. Ihenetu, the two (now
chiefs), were crowned Igbo chiefs in order to
protect and promote the rich traditional culture
of the Igbo people from Nigeria in the diaspora.
He maintains that the ceremony was highly
considered and respected by both Nigerians in
diaspora and back home and must be accorded that
reverend by all. The occassion was witnessed by a
multitude of Nigerians and some number of
Ghanaians.

In addition to the afore, His Royal Highness Igwe
Chuma Raymond Okadigbo (King of the Mountains)
commended Ghanaians for their warm hospitality and
love for Nigerians and other foreign nationals in
Ghana. He emphasized "it is true, in Ghana there
is freedom and justice - Nigerians are not
complaining of any ill-treatment in Ghana and so
they are free".

However, he was quick to add that the perception
that all Nigerians are crook and must be monitored
at all times is wrong and must be avoided. He
believes Nigerians are good people and must be
seen as such yet where some few choose to stray
from the larger good, they do not deserve to be
considered Nigerians.
