Akeem Adenuga’s brother, King Asunmo Aderibigbe, is the paramount ruler of Odo-Ayandelu, Epe, Lagos.
The sixty-two year old
Nigerian prince, Akeem Adenuga, has given up his royal life to become a plumber
for Thames Water in London.
The SUN UK reports that
prince Akeem Adenuga took a break from royal duties in 1994 to study in the UK
where he fell in love with the country.
In 2000, he took on a job
as a trainee leakage technician at Thames Water and he hasn’t looked back
since. He now leads a team of 24 engineers who find and fix hidden subterranean
leaks across the city.
Father-of-five Akeem said:
“I really look forward to coming to work and I’m always raring to go out and
get stuck into work in the streets of the capital. “I love my job, and the
people I work with really make it special.” But despite moving thousands of
miles away, he stays in touch with his hometown of Agbowa-Ikosi – a small town
a two-hour drive from the city of Lagos.
He and five friends donated
$25,000 for an ambulance in 2017, so that locals could take patients to the
nearest hospital – an hour away.
Akeem said: “As a prince
back home, my family gets a wonderful welcome every time we visit.
