No Chieftaincy Title Was Conferred On Davido – Uwolo of Ibuzor

A new report which emerged on social media stated that Nigerian singer, Davido did not bag a chieftaincy title.

Recall that news had circulated on social media that the father of three has been conferred a chieftaincy title at Ibusa, Delta State, the hometown of his Lawyer, Prince.

According to the news reports, the singer was not conferred a title but instead was adopted into the said family. The report says the move would have desecrated or offended the lbuzor tradition.

Read the report as seen on Facebook below:

“My attention has been drawn to the trending story about purported conferment of a chieftaincy title on Davido.
~ Uwolo Amaechi Nwaenie.

For the avoidance of doubt, l want to state that l was a guest at Chief Barrister Fred Ajudua’s (Onwa) residence on his invitation to host his son’s best friend – Davido.

I had no prior knowledge of the planned event for the day until I got to Onwa’s residence. While in his apartment, Onwa said he wanted to adopt Davido into the Ajudua’s family to straighten the strong friendship between his son Bobo and Davido. I recall someone jokingly asked Onwa if he wanted to ”give chieftaincy title to Davido’ to which Onwa said a definite No.

As the Uwolo of Ibuzor, l cannot knowingly offend our cultural sensibility or be a party to any act likely to desecrate, denigrate or offend lbuzor tradition in any way, shape or form. What happened today in Chief Bar Fred Ajudua’s residence was an adoption into the family of the Ajudua and not a conferment of chieftaincy title. Any misconception or misunderstanding of the process is highly regretted. It was a great day of friendship and celebration between two great families and calls for measured reaction from those who relied strictly on social media videos and pictures.

Long live Ibuzor.
