It is trite, even in the scriptures, that a Prophet is without honour in his homeland. Today, my people have deconstructed that saying by this singular action with historic consequences.
As I looked at the framed certificate handed over to me by His Royal Highness, Igwe Colonel Christopher A.O. Muoghalu (Rtd.), the Isu II na Isuofia, I asked myself, “Could this be true?” This moment saw torrents of emotions welling up from within me. The symbolism, for me, is one that a million words cannot describe.
I am not new to Chieftaincy titles. But, this one from my own people strikes me differently, and I do not esteem it lightly.
Dike-Udo Isuofia, when translated literally means the “strong man of Peace” in Isuofia. To my brothers and sisters in Isuofia, I am immensely grateful for this. Thank you, thank you and thank you again.
