THE MAKING OF A NEW ERA AS THE NEW OBOL LOPON ASCEND THE THRONE OF MKPANI
Obol-Lopon of Mkpani, H.R.H. Obol Sunday Obono Okoi The ascendancy of the new Obol Lopon of Mkpani, His Royal Highness, Obol Sunday Obono Okoi on the 27th October, 2011 marked the beginning of a new era in the history and traditional administration of Mkpani. This is an epoch making event. For many this event is a time to wish for, while others wondered how a young man of this age would accept the offer of the office of Obol Lopon, other fraction complained and blame the tradition of the land. Yet it is important to count our blessings from that same tradition. Our tradition brought us together and gives us identity, oneness, love, and peace. Let us rejoice about this day and the future of our great land Mkpani “Ototobiloto Okpe keiti opoi” What we are today is the result of the decisions our forefathers have taken. Therefore, rather than lamenting on the conditions of the traditions of our land, we should work together to create atmosphere for the change we need.
