BENIN CITY – Odionwere Omuada in the Palace of the Oba of Benin, Mr. Rowland Ogbebor has been blessed with a Royal bead, by His Royal Majesty, Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo, Ewuare II, Oba of Benin.
The presentation of the Royal bead to Mr. Rowland Ogbebor has placed him in the highest level in the comity of Emuada.
At a reception ceremony in his honour at the Palace ground, Mr. Rowland Ogbebor expressed profound gratitude to the Oba of Benin for the honour done him, and pledged his continued loyalty and services to His Royal Majesty.
He described the Omo N’Oba as God representative on earth, saying that since Ewuare II ascended the throne of his ancestors, peace, progress and development have continued to thrive in Benin Kingdom.
Mr. Rowland Ogbebor advised the people to serve the Oba in truth and spirit, pointing out that it is not good to incur the wrath of the Oba.
He thanked all those who made the reception in his honour a success and prayed that God and the ancestors should bless and guide them.
