Chief Tony Amechi Hosts Obi of Aboh Kingdom for a Royal Visit at Villa De Castle

When a king arrives at your doorstep unexpectedly, it is not just a visit—it is a divine blessing.

What began as a royal visit to the Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse III, took an unexpected yet spiritually profound turn when His Imperial Majesty, Dr. Gregory Nnamdi Oputa III, the revered Obi of Aboh Kingdom, chose to honour Villa De Castle in Ndemili, the residence of Chief Tony Amechi, the Ajuwa of Aboh Kingdom and Special Adviser to the Governor of Delta State on Investment.

Earlier that day, Chief Amechi, in his capacity as Ajuwa of Aboh Kingdom, had accompanied Obi Oputa III and his royal entourage to the Olu of Warri’s palace, where discussions on tradition, unity, and regional development took centre stage.

However, in a gesture of goodwill and admiration, the Obi of Aboh made an unscheduled visit to Villa De Castle—a gesture that would soon be regarded as a deeply spiritual and unforgettable moment.

As the Obi’s convoy arrived at the grand estate, the people of Ndemili were filled with excitement and reverence. Elders whispered in awe, “When the king follows you home, it is not just a visit, it is a seal of honour from the ancestors.”

Upon seeing the breathtaking Villa De Castle, which had been officially unveiled in December 2024, the Obi of Aboh Kingdom expressed admiration, calling it a masterpiece of beauty and tranquillity—a fitting reflection of the greatness and vision of its owner.

He praised Chief Amechi for his unwavering contributions to the growth and prosperity of Ndokwa nation, acknowledging him as a man whose destiny is intertwined with the success of his people.

With deep humility, Chief Tony Amechi welcomed the Obi and his entourage, embracing the moment as a divine privilege. In keeping with tradition, the Obi bestowed royal blessings upon Chief Amechi, declaring, “A man whose works bring the king to his doorstep will never lack the favor of the gods.”

As the royal entourage departed, one truth was clear: when a man walks in destiny, even the crown acknowledges his path.
