A Royal Celebration: A Birthday Tribute to His Royal Eminence, King Nwachukwu Obi III
On this auspicious occasion, we celebrate the life and reign of His Royal Eminence, the Oba of Ogbaland, Rivers State. As you mark another year of grace, we pray that the wisdom of the Almighty continues to guide and strengthen you. “For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding” (Proverbs 2:6).
May your path always be illuminated by righteousness, for “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people” (Proverbs 14:34). Your leadership, humility, and wisdom remain a beacon of hope and inspiration to your people.
My King, my classmate, my friend, and my brother, I pray that God blesses you with long life, good health, and divine guidance. May your reign continue to bring peace, prosperity, and joy as you lead with integrity and vision.
Over four decades ago, even at a tender age, you demonstrated remarkable fairness, wisdom, and a deep sense of justice—qualities that today have blossomed into the greatness we see in your reign as monarch.
Many happy returns, Your Royal Eminence! May your legacy endure, inspiring generations yet unborn, and may your name be forever remembered as one of the great leaders of an illustrious kingdom.
With love, best wishes, and profound respect,
Ono K. Akpe
Director-General, Bayelsa Governor’s Football Tournament (Prosperity Cup)
