| King Oyo& Mommy when he was crowned king |
Uganda's last remaining kings turned 18 in a four-day ceremony heck with MTV's Sweet sixteen, this guy had CNN at his party, plus a whole friggin kingdom, tell me that aint big pimpin, you kn0w thats big pimpin! it ended Sunday and allowed him to take full control of his kingdom in the western part of the country.
King Oyo is among the world's youngest reigning monarchs. He ascended to the throne at age 3 after his father died in 1995.As a minor, kingdom officials had appointed a board of advisers to help him rule.
The board was disbanded to mark his birthday, which means the teen can now make major kingdom decisions on his own without consulting with his advisers.
The high school student -- whose full name is Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV -- rules over about 2 million people in the largely impoverished Tooro kingdom.
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, one of his former advisers, also attended the events.
Other birthday festivities included a church service with leaders of various denominations and an address where he pledged to help the youth in his kingdom.
Last year the king was bought a palatial multi million home in Bunga where he will be staying as full fledged king. The house sits on three acres of land and it was bought at $1.5m from city tycoon Bassajjabalaba. It boasts of a swimming pool, tennis court and a basket ball court and was redecorated for a whooping shs200m. Okay, am starting to envy this guy..this year Mercedes Benz....i was thinking bentley but, whatever mommy decides...
