The Dein of Agbor Kingdom, His Royal Majesty Benjamin Ikenchuku Keagborekuzi the First (Keagborekuzi I) is a monarch with a very unique history. Agbor is a town in the oil-rich Delta State of Nigeria but the king has put the town on global map.

He was born in July 1977, but following the unexpected death of his father, the late Obi in 1979, he was crowned the monarch at the age of two years, four months -the youngest anywhere in the world. This feat was noted in the Guinness Book of World Records in 1980 when he was acknowledged as the youngest crowned monarch. 

The Dein of Agbor, when he was crowned in 1979 at the age of two years, four months, the youngest in the world. The Agbor Royal Family is called the Nhu-Dein. His mother later took him to England where he was baptized with the rites of the Roman Catholic Church. The Dein of Agbor attended the Catholic School of Kent and later, the College Bearwood in Surrey, College of San Benedict, Ealing and the Birbeck College in London. In his absence, a regent ruled until he came back in 2000 to fully resume duty as one of Nigeria's youngest traditional rulers. By the way, you need to see the Dein speak, I am yet to see a more charming monarch! You will fall in love with him! Truly royal a figure, I must say.

He has no wife (thus Agbor Kingdom has no Queen for now but there is a Queen Mother). Immediately after the coronation, he went overseas for his education while a Regent ruled in his place. He obtained various degrees and certificates and came back in 2001 when he took over properly as the Dein of Agbor. He is passionate about horses. Despite his busy schedule, he still finds time to ride them.

In March 2006, he became the youngest monarch to be appointed the Chancellor of a Federal University when former President Olusegun Obasanjo appointed him the Chancellor of the University of Ilorin. He is currently the 4th Chancellor of University of Ilorin and is the Officer (Order of the Crown of Belgium) and the Vice-Chairman of the Delta State Traditional Rulers' Council. He is also of the Supreme Order of the Dein of Agbor, otherwise known as the Royal & Dynastic Order of the Dein of Agbor (Supremo Ordine Del Dein Di Agbor Ordine Reale E Dinastico). This Order was established in 2005 during his silver jubilee celebrations of his coronation. He is the Grand Master Protector of the Order and by virtue, he can bestow honours and awards on deserving individuals who have contributed greatly to the development of Agbor Kingdom. Its motto goes thus: 'By Spirit and Knowledge.'

Agbor is in the Ika South Local Government Area of Delta State. 

When asked about his marital status,(I can feel the hearts of some ladies here fluttering already , he said: 

"Now, you want to put me in trouble with my chiefs. The 

wonderful answer is no. The press will be involved any time 

such will happen. I look forward to being married. I am a 

Christian and of a very young age." 

“I truly love my people from the depth of my heart. But I do not like lies. I do not like it when people say bad things about their own brothers and sisters. If you see your brother or sister doing something wrong stop him or her.  If you see your brother or sister in trouble, do something to help him or her. As long as all these are done, Agbor will continue to grow from strength to strength. There is no need for the people to work against each other.” The Dein is widely respected and greatly loved by his people (yeah, I love him too even though I am not an 'Agborian'.....lol)

Agbor Kingdom has been in existence since 721 BC. The name Ikeagborekuzi means 'What will Agbor people say now?' reflecting the controversy that surrounded his birth and coronation. His dad, the late king had many daughters and was worried until the Dein was born as the first son and Crown Prince. 

His mother, the Queen Mother, Queen Victoria Nkem Egun Ikenchuku is also referred to as the Ojeba of Agbor. She was born on the 17th of January, 1960 and is the Honourable Commissioner for Millenium Development Goals (MDGs) (formerly of Women Affairs, Community & Social Development), Delta State. Thanks a lot for your time.

THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR TIME.

Really baffles me too. Having children, especially males should be uppermost in his mind as he is the only son of his father and the king. He is 35, if you ask me he should have married at 15. I heard he must marry a virgin from his kingdom, hope there are still virgins in Agbor.

15 sef too much, immediately they detect any sperm na to start reproducing, if he could be crowned @ d age of 2 then it won't be wrong if he starts reproducing at lets say 11-12.

maybe this person secretly desires to be some king or monarch...
and yet I wonder if those who are monarchs,
if they are really happy to be where they are,
isn't royal life one of personal imprisonment?

*Kails*:

their kids eat all the food of the people they are supposed to feed with all their money and riches.

maybe he don't want to bring kids into such a life.......
maybe he knows what is going on,
and rebels against his own royal life inwardly.

idk..i just don't rate monarchs.
you're only a human being but call yourself reigning over others?
#bleh.

lol they think they are gods, more divine and privileged than the rest.

Good a thing we don't have monarchy in my town,my ancestors were indeed wise. How can someone be worshiping another man,nonsense! Monarchy is so outdated and of no use.
