As the traditional head of Ndigbo in Central Region, Ghana,  please always put GOD in front of you, then  affairs of Ndigbo. If you do that, our ancestors will bless you and you will prosper in all your doings “, he prayed.

In his words of advice to the new Eze, HRM Dr Ihenetu urges Igwe Kingsley to use the throne to foster peace  and unity among Ndigbo in Central Region. “You should use the throne to promote Igbo culture and traditions in the Diaspora by  holding town hall meetings and rub minds on how to move the Igbo race forward.”

Furthermore, HRM Dr Ihenetu also explained that aside taking care of the Igbo, Igwe Kingsley should also use the throne to defend other Nigerians within his jurisdiction. “Again, I appealed to you not to use the throne to intimidate people or challenge the authority of our host nation or the authority of Igbo traditional institution back home.

As a matter of fact, once you cross the River Niger, you must be submissive to Igbo traditional kings in Igboland. This clarification is necessary because our role as Diaspora Eze is not to compete with our Royal fathers back home but to complement their efforts outside Igboland by ensuring that our children learn and understand Igbo language, culture and traditions.”
