ALL HAIL THE KNIGHT OF JOHN WESLEY

By Okey IROEGBU 
Sir Kingsley Uwa Nkume over the time has made himself an enigma in every endeavor he founds himself. The prince who started with golden spoon in his mouth maintained such opportunity bestowed on him by his hard working parents during his childhood at Enugu. It was on this note that he will easily remind you that “ogui anagi agba boy,” simply translated to mean that boys who grew in that neighborhood do not serve any master as they are well to do. Prince Nkume no doubt was pampered by his parents among which was giving him a good education. Like every adult of his time he travelled to Lagos which was the economic hub of the nation and was gainfully employed where he rose to the position of Financial Director before venturing into his own company; Nexus Nig. Ltd which was into the production of beverage drinks. His administrative prowess finally led him into Nigerian politics on retirement. He rose to the chairman of conference of opposition parties before he became a darling and a material seriously sought after by the Peoples’ Democratic Party. He got to the position of Executive Secretary of Ikwuano Local Government Council where he served under the leadership of Ezinne Ngozi Oji. Prince Nkume is a man of many parts as he plays every role perfectly as if they were designed just for him. In the Amala, he cannot be bye passed in decision making. In politics, whatever decision taken in his absence would be redone on his arrival. In the church he is an obedient servant and this is why this honour is eulogized by everybody around him. According to our Dede, his strength apart from God Almighty is his wife Lady Nma Nkume. It could be noted that he was recently honoured with conferment award of KNIGHT OF JOHN WESLEY by His Eminence, Dr. Oliver Ali Aba, the Prelate, Methodist Church Nigeria on Monday, October 30, 2023. Sir (Prince) Kingsley Uwa Nkume, the Baggage Magazine rejoices with others in celebration of this honour.
