HISTORY was made yesterday in Igbodo Kingdom of Ika North East Local
Government Area of Delta State, when a day old baby boy was crowned to
become the crown prince of the kingdom, ostensibly to forestall any
succession controversy in future.
He was crowned some few hours after his birth within the hospital environment.
To address the succession issue once and for all warranted the Igbodo
ruling house to move straight to the hospital, where the child was
born and crowned him there without further protocols.
The child, named Ugochukwu was crowned by the leader of a delegation
from the Igbodo palace at St. Luke's Hospital Asaba, where he boy was
delivered.
Vanguard reported that the boy was delivered on Wednesday night and
the following morning (yesterday ) he was crowned. Chief Eugene Iyeke
of the ruling house of Igbodo led the delegation to Asaba with members
of the Obi-in-council and notable indigenes.
It will be recalled that that the Obi of Igbodo, Obi Ikechukwu Osedume
I, succumbed to the wishes of his people by formally marrying an
indigene of the community in accordance to the native law and custom
early in October last year.
And it was the wife, called Onyinyechukwu, a native of Igbodo that
bore the boy that was crowned yesterday morning.
