The Obong of Calabar, Edidem Ekpo Okon
Abasi Otu V, has given the title, Adaidaha of
Efik Eburutu, to Prince Michael Franklin, a
paternal first cousin to Queen Elizabeth II.
The Obong, who is a Treaty King and Grand
Patriarch of the Efik Kingdom, also conferred
the President of Brazzaville Foundation, Mr.
Johnnie Olivier, with the same title in
recognition of his global peace initiatives.
The duo was led to the palace of the Obong
by a former governor of Cross River State, Mr.
Donald Duke, alongside a former presidential
adviser, Senator Florence Ita-Giwa and the
Chief Executive Officer, Henshaw Capital
Partners, Chief Barbara Etim-James.
At a grand ceremony, which attracted well
meaning sons and daughters of the Efik
Kingdom, including a former Managing
Director of Tinapa Business and Resorts, Chief
Bassey Ndem, and Chief Asuquo Ekpenyong,
the Obong said the conferment was as a
reminder of the relationship between the Efik
people and the British Colony.
The Obong gave certificates and sceptres to
the recipients with specific charge on Prince
Franklin to show it to the English monarch.
In his response, Price Franklin promised to
visit the palace regularly, adding that they
would extend their humanitarian roles to other
parts of the world.

distant cousin of the Obong of Calabar has
vowed he is getting a visa to the UK so that
the Queen would give him a title as well, he
said "It is only fair that I should be knighted
as well, since my blood has made her blood a
chief, it is what they call Tit for Tat."[/color][/b]
