The South-East Council of Traditional Rulers in Nigeria has officially abolished the use of the title "Eze Ndigbo" by Igbo leaders living outside their homeland-a decision that comes shortly after tensions flared in Ghana over a viral video involving a Nigerian community leader.
In the widely circulated video, the individual, based in Ghana, referred to himself as "Eze Ndi Igbo of Ghana" and mentioned plans to establish an Igbo Kingdom.
The footage, although recorded in 2013, resurfaced recently and caused public concern, with many questioning the implications of such a title and vision within a sovereign host nation.
Responding to the uproar, the council of traditional rulers issued a statement signed by respected monarchs including Eze E.C.
