The heir apparent to the late Obi of Issele-Ukwu, Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State, Nduka Ezeagwuna, 20, has already been crowned by the community’s kingmakers. Nduka, a 300 level Chemical Engineering student of the University of Ibadan, is however, said to be regretting his inability to celebrate with his father, Henry Ezeagwuna, who was due to mark his birthday on August 28, 2014.

The Obi of Issele-Ukwu, who died in an auto crash along with Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan’s aide Sunny Ofili, at the weekend, was already distributing invitation cards for the birthday ceremony to well wishers before the tragic accident. A visit to the community showed that socio–economic activities in the town has become low keyed while residents were seen in groups discussing the demise of the monarch and worried about the identity of the lady inside the car who died alongside the monarch and the governor’s aide.

The governor’s aide, on his part, was said to have been assured by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the monarch and delegates alike of representing Aniocha North state constituency in 2015, just as everything has been provided by the decease to clinch the position.

The Onishe of Issele-Ukwu, a retired judge, Justice Azomani, performed the traditional rites of sitting the young monarch on the thrown awaiting full coronation later. Daily Independent source disclosed on Monday that the President General of the community, Cypril Ashibogwu, has directed that the market in the town is to remain closed for 21 days and that the market is to be relocated to somewhere else. The accident victims were burnt to death, as the Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) driven by the monarch burst into flames after hitting a truck laden with granite stones (Edo FUG 238 XA) from the rear at Otulu Junction on the Benin-Asaba- Onitsha expressway. Eyewitness account said following the accident, the rear tyros of the truck were deflated and the SUV burnt beyond recognition. Tears rolled down freely as rescue team made frantic effort to extricate the burnt corpses of the monarch and the aide that were trapped in the vehicle.

Haven't you all heard about King Oyo of Uganda who became king at age 3. Read about him HERE. The young man is about 18 years now. This is Africa and this is our tradition.

there is no fun being king at a very young age if you are the grooving type,sitting in that palace discussing with very old men ahead of you can be so boring...

Good news for the young king may your father soul rest in perfect peace

Congrats, the new youngest monarch in the land.

this is pure imprisonment for the young lad. anyways I just feel for him.

Rubbish, must I comment?

Slymonster: there is no fun being king at a very young age if you are the grooving type,sitting in that palace discussing with very old men ahead of you can be so boring...

hahahah you are so wrong. Ask around about the Ogienenhi of Uzairue or the Onojie of Uromi (both in Edo state)... These guys are first class groovers cos they started tasting the good side of life from such young age.

Nonsense...I hope the kid does not have to drop out for that trash...what relevance are those traditional rulers to the society anyway? To collect bribes from politicians? Attend ceremonies?

Him don graduate be dat na

This could pass for a standard nollywood movie

Do igbos do oro for the burial of their king?

absolute nonsense.

You made a typo, you meant to type 91 ?

I don't know why you guys are screaming... it's his birthright... undergraduate or not, infact if he was still in his diapers he would still be crowned... thats what royalty is about...

*olamide's Voice* Oga ade! E wo bi e ba de. Omo eru jo'ba. Igboro de mi lade... DaSsaLL!

There's no such thing as Chemical Engineering at the University of Ibadan.

Is the new king a fake student?

Can't Stop laffing, laff she yaff want to key mi.. Him no know where him day...

Eze Nduka eje elunor.

Hope this will not stop him from graduting............rest in peace to the dead. Only God knows who the young lady was. This reminds me of a story told by a friend, hw his uncle GF died in an accident on her way back fr ABJ. When she came to visit him, He could not really mourn her for fear of his wife finding out.

[size=20pt]This story reminds me of the present king in Agbor, Delta state who was crowned Obi of Agbor at a much younger age of 2. His father died when he was just a baby in his mother arm. But this news of the newly crowned Obi of Issele Uku is better because at 20 years he is an adult man that is old enough to marry a wife.

He should conclude his University Education by transfering to foreign university abroad. It is good for our king of nowadays to be highlly educated for them to provided the need counselling and guidance to their people.

I wish him a successful reign.[/size]
