Helping others has been instilled in Dr. Robert “Bob” Brown since he was child. His grandmother, who raised him, taught him to help any and everyone whenever he could. That helped lead him to become royalty on Friday, Jan. 29, when he was installed a chief of the Ikorodu kingdom.
Brown has helped many individuals from the country of Nigeria come to the United States to further their education as well as many philanthropic works throughout the country. One of those individuals whom Brown has helped is Oba Kabiru Adewale Shotobi, the King of the Nigerian city of Ikorodu. As a way to show Brown his gratitude in all he has done, Shotobi and the citizens of Ikorodu came to Greensboro to install Brown as a Chief of the Ikorodu kingdom. The ceremony was filled with individuals from the nation of Nigeria, as well as native Nigerians who have made the United States their home. The national anthems of both the United States and Nigeria were played to start the evening off, followed by a brief introduction of the ceremony’s distinguished guests.  He accompanied by his wife then entered the room to a standing ovation and roaring cheer from the audience.
