His Royal Highness Christian Otobotekere

Celebration of life.

21 April 1925 – 13 February 2023

Perhaps nothing reveals the persona of a person than his pedigree, personality, and philosophy. It is against the backdrop of these features that we peer into and analyze the life of an African potentate, the man whom we have come to know by the sobriquet, the Poet-King – His Royal Highness Christian Atani Okpofaa Otobotekere, who died on 13 February 2023, after nearly ninety-eight years on earth.

An Economist, Accountant, Philosopher, Poet, Environmentalist and Chieftain, he was King (Amananaowei) of the emergent municipality of Tombia in Ekpetiama Kingdom of Yenagoa Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, Southern Nigeria.
