April 16 from indications, seems to be a day when great and influential men and women are born. On this special day last week, global figures of substance marked their birthday celebrations with fanfare in different parts of the world. Individuals like Akon, Claire Foy, Vickie Guerrero, Tom Segura, Bill Belichick and last but not the least, the late Pope Benedict XVI whose own event was marked posthumously by the Vatican, took time to gather and celebrate with friends and families.
Down in Nigeria, precisely in Imo State and in Obinwanne Umuaka Autonomous Community, a very important birthday celebration was marked and celebrated. The echoes of the birthday celebration reached Abuja, Port Harcourt and many parts of the world also. The man at the centre of the birthday bash last week was HRM Eze Justin Uzoma Ezeala, the royal father of Obinwanne Umuaka Autonomous Community. Onye Eze, as he is fondly addressed by close associates, is a well-known humanist, reformer, philanthropist and a capacity builder from the Chukwujiekwu Palace. He used the opportunity of his 2024 birthday celebration to pass a message of love to not only his people in Obinwanne but also to the entire Umuaka community and Ndi Igbo in general.
In a royal press statement he issued last week, the monarch called upon everyone in Igboland to develop a greater sense of service to humanity. Hear him.
“As I reflect on this special day, my message to friends and well-wishers is the need for each of us to develop a greater sense of service to our family and community.”
To explain his message emphatically, the royal father went on to say, “We must prioritize the well-being of vulnerable members of our communities like widows, young children, and the physically challenged. We owe these people a duty of common humanity.”
Eze Justin Ezeala also used the opportunity to give a summary of how God has been nice to him and saw him through many battles and traps of life. “As I celebrate another year of my life, I thank God for his Mercy and Grace. I can never forget how God has seen me through the roughest periods of my life and brought me to where I am today. I’m grateful for the love of my family and friends over the years.”
As a well-known philanthropist and social engineering expert, the Onye Eze dropped a parting gift to the world in his closing remarks. “On my part, I re-dedicate my life to the service of God and humanity with undiminished zeal.”
Umuaka Times wishes HRM Eze Justin Ezeala a happy 2024 birthday.
