My wife and I, accompanied by a delegation of traditional rulers from Bayelsa State, were delighted to join the Government and people of Rivers State, royal fathers from across our great country, friends and well-wishers, and the entire people of Opobo Kingdom in celebrating with His Majesty, King Charles Douglas Macpepple Jaja, Jeki VI, on the occasion of his coronation as the Amanyanabo of Opobo Kingdom.
The Opobo Kingdom occupies a distinguished place in the history of our nation. Its rich heritage is inseparable from the remarkable story of King Jaja, whose life continues to evoke the enduring values of courage, enterprise, leadership, resilience and an unwavering commitment to the dignity and identity of his people.
As Your Majesty begins this important chapter of service to the Opobo Kingdom, my prayer is that your reign will be marked by unity, peace, progress and prosperity. May it be a reign that brings people closer together, preserves the dignity and heritage of Opobo, strengthens the bonds of friendship and understanding, and advances the development and well-being of the people.
Your Majesty, on behalf of my family and myself, I extend my warmest congratulations and best wishes on this historic occasion.
May Almighty God grant Your Majesty the wisdom to lead, the courage to serve, the patience to unite, and the grace to build a legacy that will endure for generations to come.
May your reign be long, peaceful and prosperous.

Meet Afolabi Kazeem, the Lagos big boy. He was arrested by the NDLEA with drugs worth โฆ40 billion.
The alleged drug kingpin is of Yorugba extraction.
But these are the same people who say Igbos are the ones giving Nigeria bad names.
Afolabi Kazeem is giving Nigeria a good name, right?
Crime has no ethnicity, but you people convinced yourselves that crime has ethnicity.
Because you people were bathed in bigotry and prejudice against Igbos, you spread lies to demarket the Igbo people.
Anyways, congratulations to Afolabi for giving Nigeria a good name. ๐๐พ
Cristiano Ronaldo revealed why his wedding was strictly family-only. ๐โค๏ธ
Cristiano Ronaldo: โActually, Iโd have loved to invite as many people as I could, but where do I start from? If I invite some and mistakenly forget others, because of course, I canโt get everything right in the process, I know how the internet is and how quickly people speculate. They just need a small mistake to create a different agenda and narrative.
For that reason, I didnโt want to offend anyone, so I decided to do it that way. Everyone congratulated me, and Iโm happy it happened that way. If I had invited some people and not invited others, those I didnโt invite might feel like they arenโt my favorites or thatโs why they werenโt invited. But now that I didnโt invite anyone, I think itโs equal and perfect.โ
