Former France World Cup winner and Arsenal forward, Thierry Henry, has been crowned honorary “Igwe” (King) while paying Nigeria a visit in an event organised by Guinness Nigeria.
The 40-year-old who is Arsenal’s top goalscorer of all time and currently second assistant manager of the Belgium national team was enthroned as ‘Igwe’ (King) of football after he was dressed in an Igbo royalty garb during an event organised by Guinness Nigeria.
Arsenal’s all-time top goalscorer was given an Igbo royalty garb to wear before he attended his coronation.
Apparently, the reason for the ceremony is because Nigerian football fans would shout “Igwe”, meaning king, whenever Henry scored for the Gunners.
