About the Item
This piece was inspired by the story of Adaeze the Princess of Odumga Kingdom.
King Odumga, the Akaogun 1 of Odumga Kingdom was a very strong and powerful king, who fought many wars and conquered many cities, towns, and kingdoms.
He founded the Kingdom of Odumga and named it after himself Odumga, hence the name, ODUMGA KINGDOM.
He had many wives and many sons but only one daughter. He loved his only daughter so much and decided to give her the best care he could afford in life.
The King gave all the Children including ADAEZE the best Education that was obtainable in his days. Unlike other kings who refused their daughters access to Education. They believed that girls if trained will only end up being another man's wife. But King Odumga had different beliefs on Girl Child Education.
ADAEZE Studied Midwifery in America and got the most excellent result in her field of Midwifery. She had an exceptional gift of love and care for Women and Children. This gift was the driving force for her passion for Midwifery.
But in America, there was strong Racism then against the black race.
On her graduation day, she was denied the chance to give a speech despite her most excellent result, simply because she is a black girl. Other students who did not get up to her excellency in their field of Midwifery were selected to give a speech, this action angered ADAEZE so much and she could not hide her annoyance as she protested openly, an action that no other black girl has ever tried.
When she was noticed, they threatened her with punishment but she could not stop, rather she raised her voice more.
Then the Authorities agreed to give her just 5 minutes to present her speech. As she mounted the podium, hear what she said:
"My name is Adaeze Odumga,
I am bold
I am black
I am beautiful.
How can some people deny me my right simply because of my God-given Color?
When God created me he said "behold you are very good" She referred them to the Holy Bible (Genesis 1:31)
How can you condemn who God said is very good? The same God that made you, has made me and said that I Adaeze am very good. I am Black.
I am bold.
I am learned, to defend the Woman folk, the women at the time of giving birth, the Children, yes Children unborn.
To defend the children, who newly arrived in the World. To serve humanity and to serve God
I am Adaeze Odumga
I am black and I am beautiful"
She barely finished saying I am beautiful when the audience roared with a great shout to applaud her for her wonderful speech others for her boldness and some for her excellent performance.
She gently gave a smile, waved her hands, and took a gentle bow before she hit the bar.
So this is the ADAEZE THE PRINCESS.
She is Bold
She is Black
She is Beautiful
She is African
AFRICA IS BEAUTIFUL.
