Chief Barrister Olugu Kalu Ugba, a scion of Udumaeze Ohafia ancient kingdom, a great son of Amangwu Ohafia, erudite legal luminary, a former Deputy Chief of Staff, a mega businessman and politician is poised to prove that his 'Ishi bu mba' chieftaincy title is not a pet name. As his chieftaincy title rightly connotes, this man, 'Ishi bu mba' is…
