Happy 90th Birthday To A Gallant Benin Chief, Osayomwabo Osemwegie Ero

 Happy 90th birthday to a real gem, Chief Osayomwabo Osemwegie Ero. A gallant Benin Chief, who has dedicated so much time researching and documenting the rich history of the Great Benin Kingdom. I was privileged to interview him several times this year. I was stunned with his great memory and knowledge of Benin history. He never missed a word! A great patriot with deep cultural knowledge. You have created a higher standard for us (the younger generation) to replicate. I joined your children and family to wish you a splendid 90th birthday! Many more years of celebration. U gha tọ kpere, Baba! Isee!
