For promoting the Igbo Culture, Reality TV star, Hazel Onou, aka Whitemoney has just bagged a chieftaincy title as the \u201c\u00d9gw\u00f9 \u0144di Igbo,\u201d meaning \u201cThe Pride of Igbos\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Big Brother Naija Season 6 winner said he intends to use his new chieftaincy title to positively inspire youths in his community in Lagos State.<\/p>\n
Reacting to the development in an interview on Tuesday, Whitemoney said youths saw him as a role model for promoting the ideals of the Igbo culture.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cI intend to use my title and position as \u0144w\u00e0 \u00e0f\u00f2r Igbo to positively influence the youths in my community. I will actively engage and mentor them as much as possible because I understand that so many of them look up to me.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey were inspired to confer me with the chieftaincy title as the Pride of Igbos in Lagos State because of how I generally promote and uphold the values of the Igbo culture.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey believe that I am a good fit and a role model to the Igbo youths in my community because of how I faced hardship while growing up and how I was able to persevere positively with hard work, God and determination.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone knows how particular I am about my culture, so it was only right to add a title to it in Lagos State by my community. I\u2019ve learnt that all that glitters is not gold and that no one can be there for you and inspire you more than yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n
The reality star, who was elated by the title conferred on him, made the revelation in an Instagram post on Monday.<\/p>\n
The post read, \u201cFirst of all, our people say when a child washes his hands well, he may sit with elders. Another title added: UGWU NDIGBO\u2019 i.e \u2018THE PRIDE OF IGBOS\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was another humbling moment for me last Saturday as I was conferred as \u2018UGWU NDIGBO\u2019 by the Igbo speaking community, Lagos State.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
