EASTERN OBOLO KING'S BURIAL IS TODAY.
Inter-denominational Funeral of His Royal Majesty Apostle Doctor Owen Silvanus Ukafia
 JP Ede De VI. Funeral schedules ; DATE: Saturday 13th Feb. 2016 VENUE: Government Field Okoroete, Eastern Obolo L.G.A, Akwa Ibom State. TIME: 11am Prompt




His Royal Majesty King Owen Sylvanus Ukafia Ede VI. He was the King of Okoroete Town, Clan Head of Okoroete Clan, pioneer Paramount Ruler of Eastern Obolo Local Government Area and Chairman of Akwa Ibom State Council of Chiefs. He pioneered some innovations in his domain and Nigeria as a result of the various challenges in his society which he led the people to respond positively. The challenges were socio-political and economic in nature, posed by man and his environment. Nevertheless, King Ukafia Ede VI attempted to isolate these challenges for remedy during his reign.
It is the contention of this paper that His Royal Majesty lived a fulfilled life. The legacies he left behind demonstrated that his actions and pronouncements were within the paradigm of socio-economic resources and were for the good of Obolo (Andoni) and Nigeria. One thing is certain. His history is, therefore, an important aspect of the history of Obolo (Andoni), Akwa Ibom State and Nigeria. In fact, his colleague traditional rulers described him as the embodiment of Eastern Obolo of his time because of his collective will, vision and mission of the people. Being the spokesman of Eastern Obolo (Andoni), all Governments in his time, be it Local, State and Federal and the Chiefs of his domain were his allies. On the whole, His Royal Majesty King Owen Ukafia Ede VI spent his 82 years life span in nation-building. The latter was his method of keeping peace and development.

Nevertheless, his dynamism from journalist to paramount ruler contributed to the development of this country. He saved Eastern Obolo in particular and Nigeria in general in many ways which only few are enumerated in this work. In recognition of his contributions to humanity, Columbus International University in the British Virgin Islands awarded King Ukafia Ede VI an honorary Doctorate Degree in 2003. The universe wishes him a perfect rest and his domain more fruitful years of nation-building in Nigeria. He is survived by a wife, nine children and numerous relations.”

  Frank Macaulay one of the fathers in Port Harcourt Entertainment industry, expresses Joy over Oboloprince Gls a friend and a brother in Nollywood film industry,  as he ends his Academic Journey in Philippines with Bachelor of Fine Art in Digital Cinema.   according to his post on Facebook, he wrote. Wow! How time juggles a sudden flight.  Some years back he was restless, gathering crowd and making history with the first Obolo film.  I watched him display his resiliency and doggedness in this film business.  I watched him lead crowd as a young boy less than 18. He is a son that my people must celebrate.  In his quest, he sojourned foreign land, seeking for knowledge to make a difference.  A lot of people gave him no chance, some wrote him off but i didn't because he is  a son and a kid brother to me and i know his passion for OBOLO. He went to the white man's land and choose the name, OBOLOPRINCE. In the industry, people called him OBOLO. What a love for OBOLO. Toda
