Albert Wigwe RIP. But come you are Albert Nwigwe. You should not only have removed N from Nwigwe to make your name Wigwe, you should have also removed W from Wigwe to make it Albert Wige.

How did you know this? Are you from his clan?

he's an Ikwerre man and N in their names is insignificant. It's not his fault. Nwigwe or Wigwe, they both have same meaning ( child of a king)
May the soul of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.
This is indeed a huge loss

Nobody ever says anything negative in a biography

E pain me oooo😭😭😭...

May their souls rest in peace....

He is an igbo man ronus might gather to argue his tribe

(N)wigwe is purely an Igbo name


But the Ronus know who is more Igbo and non

So that's why we don't take em serious

In Igbo land Nwa can be replaced with Wa depend on the clan and dialect

RIP, we are feeling the loss

Adding or removing N is very inconsequential. By the way his father, a former Director-General of NTA also bears Wigwe.

He came, saw, and conquered. May his soul alongside his wife and child find eternal rest.
These reminds me of a proven that tells us not to be weary in doing good things.
