…A Royal Celebration: A Birthday Tribute to His Royal Eminence, King Nwachukwu Obi III*
On this momentous occasion, we gather to celebrate the illustrious life and reign of the revered Oba of Ogbaland, Rivers State. As Your Royal Eminence marks another year of life, we pray that the wisdom of the Almighty continues to guide you. “For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding” (Proverbs 2:6).
May your path be illuminated with the light of righteousness and uprightness, as “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people” (Proverbs 14:34). Your leadership and wisdom have been a beacon of hope and inspiration to your people.
My King, my classmate, my friend, and my brother, I pray that God grants you good health, strength, and divine guidance. May your reign be filled with peace, prosperity, and joy, as you continue to lead your people with wisdom and integrity.
Over 40 years ago, at such a tender age, you displayed an uncanny sense of justice, wisdom, and fairness, and today, we see that blossom into a great monarch you are.
Many happy returns, Your Royal Eminence! May your legacy continue to inspire and uplift your people, and may your name be forever etched in the annals of history as a great leader of an illustrious kingdom.
With love, best wishes, and profound respect,
Ono K. Akpe
DG, Bayelsa Governor’s Football Tournament
