Our Cover Girl,<br />
Chimamanda Ngozi<br />
Adichie Honoured<br />
With The Chieftaincy<br />
Title Of Odeluwa<br />
(One Who Writes For The World)<br />
Amenna Daayo<br />
Just when we thought our<br />
<strong>Jan</strong>uary <strong>2023</strong> edition<br />
couldn’t get any better,<br />
we get rocked with the<br />
exciting news that our cover girl<br />
is now a Chief!<br />
Please take note that<br />
when next you refer to the<br />
<strong>Glamsquad</strong> Cover Girl for<br />
<strong>Jan</strong>uary <strong>2023</strong>, be sure to add<br />
“Chief” to her name – Chief<br />
Chimamanda Ngozi!<br />
The celebrated writer was<br />
honoured with the title of<br />
Odeluwa 1 of Abba kingdom,<br />
which, when translated, means<br />
– the one who writes for the<br />
world. For us, this title is a<br />
confirmation that our choice of<br />
<strong>Glamsquad</strong> covers is inept with<br />
their contribution to humanity<br />
and society.<br />
She received the chieftaincy<br />
title in recognition of her<br />
contributions to the welfare and<br />
development of her hometown,<br />
Abba, Anambra State.<br />
Chimamanda received<br />
the title in a lavish event in her<br />
hometown that was organized<br />
to mark the traditional 45th<br />
edition of the Ofala festival and<br />
the 80th birthday celebration of<br />
HRH. Igwe Sir Leonard Nwankwo<br />
Ezeh (Eze Abba).<br />
Among the dignitaries who<br />
graced the ceremony was the<br />
Executive Governor of Anambra<br />
State, Charles Soludo, Obi<br />
of Onitsha, Igwe Nnaemeka<br />
Alfred Achebe, amongst other<br />
notable personalities.<br />
Congratulations, cover girl!<br />
