HISTORY was made yesterday in Igbodo Kingdom of Ika North East Local Government Area of Delta State, when a day old baby boy was crowned to become the crown prince of the kingdom, ostensibly to forestall any succession controversy in future.
He was crowned some few hours after his birth within the hospital environment.

To address the succession issue once and for all warranted the Igbodo ruling house to move straight to the hospital, where the child was born and crowned him there without further protocols.
The child, named Ugochukwu was crowned by the leader of a delegation from the Igbodo palace at St. Luke’s Hospital Asaba, where he boy was delivered.
Vanguard gathered that the boy was delivered on Wednesday night and the following morning (yesterday ) he was crowned. Chief Eugene Iyeke of the ruling house of Igbodo led the delegation to Asaba with members of the Obi-in-council and notable indigenes.
It will be recalled that that the Obi of Igbodo, Obi Ikechukwu Osedume I, succumbed to the wishes of his people by formally marrying an indigene of the community in accordance to the native law and custom early in October last year.
And it was the wife, called Onyinyechukwu, a native of Igbodo that bore the boy that was crowned yesterday.

  Oil firm Royal Dutch Shell was told a pipeline had reached the end of its life years before it spilled up to 500,000 barrels of oil, according to court documents seen by the BBC. Two spills in 2008 affected about 35 sq miles (90 sq km) in southern Nigeria, according to a group suing Shell. The area included sensitive mangroves. Shell "dismisses the suggestion that it has knowingly continued to use a pipeline that is not safe to operate," it told the BBC . The emails, letters and internal reports submitted to a court in London show that senior Shell employees were concerned before the spill that Shell's pipelines in the area had reached the end of their lives and needed replacing to avoid danger to lives, the environment and the economy.
