Thierry Henry, Arsenal football
legend, was on Sunday crowned the ‘Igwe of football’ at an event in Victoria
Island, Lagos.
The Frenchman is in Nigeria for
‘Watch a Match with Thierry Henry’, an event put together by Guinness Fanzone.
Henry, clad in the attire of an
Igbo chief, was unveiled as an ambassador for the Made of Black campaign.
Apart from receiving the honorary
title, the retired footballer also partook in the cooking of jollof rice.
Henry later recognised and
praised a one-legged footballer whom he described as “the real Igwe”.
The one-legged footballer told
Henry that despite losing his leg, he relocated to Lagos and still managed to
achieve his dream of playing football.
Here are photos from the crowning
ceremony of ‘Igwe Thierry Henry 1’.
