Meet Chanel Chin, daughter of Jamaican raggae star who is now the Queen of Iwo Kingdom, Osun State
Chanel Chin, the daughter of Jamaican raggae star, Ludlow Chin also known as Bobo Zaro is the queen of the Iwo
Kingdom following her marriage to King Adbul Rasheed Adewale Akanbi earlier
this year.
King Abdul Rasheed, now known as the Imperial Oluwo of the Iwo
Kingdom in Osun State, after his ascendancy on November 10, 2015, had met
the 32-year-old woman in Canada, where he resided before his ascension.
Bobo Zaro is known for songs such as the hit single Pain, a
collaboration with Contractor and Capleton, the video of which has been
seen by millions of viewers in Africa via Channel O in South Africa and
the Sporah TV show via SkyTV.
In an interview with The Jamaica Gleaner, Queen Chin reveals that she is very honoured to represent Jamaica in such a big way.
"My ancestors were taken away as slaves, but I have
returned to Africa as a queen. One's destiny cannot be altered. As a
young child, I always wanted to come to Africa, but didn't know how. I
feel this is a great opportunity for black people worldwide to return to
their home."
In a Facebook post, Emmanuel Mathias, in support of the
queen, declared:
"Destiny is powerful, her ancestor was taken away as
slave, but she return back home as queen. Let us embrace her and tell
her you are welcome back home. This is one giant step towards bringing
back home our descendants that great fathers and mothers were casted
away."
The queen added: "Our forefathers and ancestral mothers were cast
away as slaves to never return, but I want Jamaicans everywhere to know
that Africa is so nice. The culture and traditions are so rich and
lovely. It's truly something every black person should come and
experience."
Chanel explained that as queen of Iwo land, her responsibility is
to
always set a proper example for young girls and women in the community.
Giving an insight into traditions and customs, she said her dressing and
outfits are to always be conservative and respectful.
"No matter what I wear, my shoulders and full legs must be covered at
all times. All of my clothes are custom made to match these
requirements. Also, as queen, the king and I like to regularly visit the
local schools in the community to remind the children of the importance
of education and excelling in all areas of their school work and
examinations."
The queen said her husband is the first king to actually take the time to visit the children.
"We believe they are the future," she remarked.
In her esteemed position as a Nigerian queen, she said she faces only
minor challenges one of which is her being not fluent in the native
language which is Yoruba.
"I know some words. Everyday, I am still learning. Another challenge
is that the food is quite different from our mouth- watering Jamaican
dishes."

NBA player Emeka Okafor & daughter with Barack Obama at the White House Easter Egg Roll, Beyonce, Blue Ivy among guests
There were over 35,00 attendees on the South Lawn. Among the lucky guests were Nigerian NBA player, Emeka Okafor, his wife and beautiful daughter, Adaeze, Beyonce and Jay-Z and their 4-year-old daughter Blue Ivy, other celebrities, staff of the White House, and others
The egg rolling began in 1878. Now the event includes storytelling, musical performances and tips from professional athletes on how to play basketball, tennis and other sports. There are even cooking demonstrations and yoga. This year, the first lady added a fun run to the mix.
"I'm going to be running around the White House with a bunch of kids and any adults who feel like they can hang," the first lady told the crowd as the president jokingly signaled in the background that the run wasn't for him.
The Obamas spoke from a balcony that overlooks the lawn with dogs Bo and Sunny and the Easter Bunny at their side. They then went out into the crowd for some hands-on play.
The president read the children's book, "Where the Wild Things Are," a classic from 1963, and the Obamas acted some of the story out, marching enthusiastically with the kids as he read the line "let the wild rumpus start!"
