Stanley Nwabali, the goalkeeper for the Super Eagles, was given a chieftaincy title on Sunday by Nzeobi Amida, the traditional ruler of the Mgbede community in Egbema Kingdom, Rivers State.

The chieftaincy title of Ugo Egbema “The Pride of Egbema Kingdom” was bestowed on the goalie based on of his performance in the 2023 African Cup of Nations in Côte D’Ivoire.

 

Chairman ONELGA Council of Chiefs said the title conferred on Nwabali was in recognition of the honour the goalkeeper brought to Egbema Kingdom and ONELGA following his performance for the Super Eagles.
