Guinness Nigeria has fulfilled their promise of bringing Arsenal legend and Sky sports pundit, Thierry Henry to Nigeria.
The living football legend, Thierry Daniel Henry, arrived Nigeria on Sunday and has been crowned ‘Igwe’.
The football chief who was coronated truly in traditional "Igwe" attire from igbo clan in Nigeria by Nigerian football fans.
You would recall that Nigerian football fans often addressed the retired French professional footballer as ‘Igwe’ during his active days in Arsenal and for his national team because he played like a royalty and with great commanding exploits to their delights.
His style of play resonates with the huge numbers of Arsenal fans in Nigeria and he was lovingly christened as Igwe.
