Today, a prophet is recognized by his own people

Pictures, they say, sometimes speak louder than words. To some extent, that might be true. It is just as these colourful pictures captured the vibrancy of the chieftaincy title-taking ceremony of Professor Kingsley Chiedu Ayodele Moghalu, Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (2009-2014) and Presidential candidate of the Young Progressives Party (YPP) during the 2019 presidential elections. The event took place in his native Nnewi Community on Monday 28 December 2020.
Professor Moghalu was conferred with the traditional title of “Ifek’ego” – meaning “Greater than Money” – by the traditional ruler of the Ancient Kingdom of Nnewi, HRH Igwe Dr. Kenneth Orizu III at the Igwe’s 57th annual Ofala celebration. The Igwe celebrated the Ofala on his 95th birthday anniversary and used the opportunity to honour a few indigenes of the community who distinguished themselves in various disciplines. Professor Moghalu was honoured in recognition of his achievements towards the development of Nnewi Community.
