It is with immense joy and reverence that we celebrate a true beacon of dedication, humility, and purpose: His Royal Majesty, Johnson Egbo, the Ovie of Emede Kingdom. A shepherd of the faithful as a one time Pastor in the Christ Apostolic Church, a custodian of tradition as a king, and now a defender of justice as a soon-to-be legal luminary—your journey is nothing short of inspirational.
When destiny called you to ascend the throne of your ancestors in 1998, you faced a divine crossroads. Balancing the weight of royal duty with your pastoral calling was a challenge, yet, after prayer and counsel, you answered the call to serve your people with wisdom and grace. What the world witnessed next was a leader who refused to let circumstances define his limits. With just a secondary school education and a heart fueled by faith, you pursued knowledge with unwavering resolve. You retook your GCE, earned a law degree from Igbinedion University, and dedicated yourself to the rigorous path of the Nigerian Law School.
On November 25th, 2025, you will stand among peers to be called to the Bar—a remarkable achievement that speaks volumes of your perseverance, intellect, and faith in the face of challenges. Your story is a testament to the power of resilience, not just for the people of Emede Kingdom, but for generations to come.
To Your Majesty, this milestone is a reflection of your unwavering commitment to serve with excellence, to lead with humility, and to uplift your community with both spiritual and legal wisdom. Your journey reminds us that no goal is too big, no obstacle too great, when purpose meets determination.
As you take this momentous step, we, your family, subjects, and well-wishers, celebrate you. May your legal career amplify justice, your kingship continue to bring peace, and your faith remain a guiding light. Congratulations, Your Majesty. The world is brighter because of your legacy.
Ad multos annos!
…. I Have A Dream
