TO A GREAT PATRIARCH – HIS ROYAL MAJESTY IGWE EMMANUEL IKECHUKWU UMEONONANKUME, OBI AKALABO I OF AMESI
It’s been twelve (12) years since you left this earthly realm, yet your memory remains ever fresh in our hearts.
No one, and nothing, has been able to fill the space your absence created.
Every passing second reminds us of your unmatched wisdom, your fatherly presence, and the noble legacy you left behind—both as a leader and as a man deeply rooted in tradition and truth.
For 36 glorious years, we were blessed to sit under the shade of your reign—a reign defined by peace, unity, dignity, and deep love for your people. You were not just a king, you were a light, a guide, and a symbol of strength for the entire Amesi kingdom.
On the 31st of July, 2013, you peacefully laid down your staff and journeyed to join our noble ancestors.
Though the throne sits empty of your presence, your spirit still reigns in our hearts and in the air of our land.
May your soul continue to rest in the bosom of the Almighty, enjoying the fruits of your labor.
We will never forget you, Igwe. Long live your legacy 😭😭😭😭
