| Chief Victor Osuagwu, wife and well wishers at the event |
Leading
Nollywood star and Chairman of the Lagos State chapter of the Actors Guild of
Nigeria (AGN), Victor Ifeanyichukwu Osuagwu began the new year on a higher
level, this Daylight.ng, can authoritatively reveal.
The
multi-talented and enterprising entertainer was honoured by his community with
a very rare chieftaincy title.
The
Glo ambassador who is now a proud chief and one of the few members of the
Igwe’s cabinet, was conferred with the prestigious title of Ochibundu 1 of Udo
Ancient Kingdom in Ezinihitte Mbaise LGA of Imo State, by HRH Eze MC Ukeje, Udo
Abia IV.
The
historic event, which took place on January 5, 2015, was hugely attended by
colleagues, friends, associates, well wishers and family members of the revered
entertainer, within and outside Nigeria.
Popular
Igbo musician, Sunny Bobo was in charge of music at the grand gathering
alongside other eastern-based singers.
Meanwhile,
the latest chief in Tinsel town added another achievement to his already filled
cap by declaring open his Feed A Child Today (FACT) foundation.
Duly
registered FACT, which is very dear to the heart of the thespian, donated 15
bags of rice, cash and other items to mothers in his village during the festive
period and promised to do more.
In a
chat with us, Osuagwu with over 100 hit flicks to his credit, thanked Eze Ukeje
and the entire members of Udo ancient kingdom, for deeming it fit to honour him
with a revered chieftaincy title.
The
Theatre Art graduate of Uniport was also full of appreciation to his colleagues,
friends and associates who stormed his community from far and wide to honour
him with their esteemed presence.
‘’It
is a great year and I thank God for all the good things happening in my life
this 2015. It started with my community honouring me with a chieftaincy title
for being a good son and great ambassador of our town, Imo State and indeed,
Nigeria. So, please, when next you are addressing me, add chief to my name if
you want me to answer or relate properly with you.
In
fact, henceforth, I want everybody to address me as Chief Victor Ifeanyichukwu
Osuagwu, the Ochibundu 1 of Udo Ancient Kingdom. I thank my Eze and our entire
community for deeming it fit to honour me. I will continue to make them proud
for believing so much in me. It was a huge and successful event. I want to
specially thank all those that graced the occasion. Another thing I want to
really focus on this year is my foundation-Feed A Child Today (FACT). It is my
pet project and very dear to my heart. The aim is to help indigent parents feed
their children and thus reduce poverty and violence in our society. For a
healthy and well fed child is a plus to the society, while a hungry child is a
time bomb waiting to explode in the society. FACT will be formally launched in
the next couple of months,” he disclosed.
Osuagwu
also called on Nigerians to ensure violence-free general elections, while
appealing for peace in the troubled northern Nigerian states under heavy insurgents’
attacks.
