Community Celebrates New Monarch’s Emergence
The ancient community of Emohua in Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State was recently agog with celebrations as the people jubilated over the emergence of a new first class monach, Eze Sergent Chidi Awuse following the demise and burial of the former traditional ruler, Eze V.C. Okor, Mgbo xii.
The new monach, Eze Awuse had since been recognised and given the staff of office as a first class traditional ruler by the State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike at the Government House, Port Harcourt. Since then, the community has witnessed a beehive of socio-cultural activities and series of goodwill messages, felicitations, encomiunms and accolades from different quarters within and outside the community.
Among these groups were his kinsmen from the Mgbu Owha-Olo Royal House represented by Chief Dickson Igwe and Chief David Orji who described the emergence of Ohna Awuse as a good omen and the beginning of a new dawn in the history of Emohua Kingdom.
The Mgbu Owha-Olo Royal House noted that the appointment and confirmation of the new monach by the state government was a dream come true as it has restored the ancient stool of Olo, the progenitor of the distinguished Emohua Kingdom and its dynasty. They noted that the restoration of the stool has also given his descendants their rightful position and a sense of belonging in the kingdom as they prayed God to give him good health and the wisdom to pilot the affairs of the Kingdom.
Also speaking, a youth leader in the family, Comrade Caminus Agburum contended that Ohna Awuse had been a man of the people over time because of his large heart, philanthropismy selfless services to God and humanity which had earned him popularity and love by all and sundry in Emohua community and beyond.
Agburum also noted that Ohna Awuse through his magnamynity, goodwill and love contributed immensely towards the restoration of peaceful co-existence, unity and rapid even development successfully disbanding cultism, kidnapping, youth restiveness and other social vices in the local government.
He stated that these were some of Awuse’s magic wands that had endeared him to the people as a tested and trusted leader. He stressed that with Awuse on the throne as a first class monach, Emohua would experience Eldorado.
R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
