Micheal Jackson Was Crowned King In Africa in 1992.
He was crowned in COTE D'IVOIRE (IVORY COAST), during one of his epic tours of the African continent. Around the time of his releasing the Dangerous album, Michael traveled to Gabon, which ironically also lost a political leader in Omar Bongo recently, and proceeded to the Ivory Coast. But did the media ever show you? He was MADE KING! Because he is well known for his humanity and philanthrophy, tour organizer Charles Bobbit reflected on the African tour and said: "I was impressed with the interaction between Michael and the children.
He sat on the bed with children who were deformed and children that were ill... He sat there and talked to them, hugged, cuddled them. He shook hands and did not wear a surgical mask like he does sometimes in America... That qualifies him as a role model for children--his deeds and not his looks.
While the international controversy raged, Michael remained aloof, refusing to read the stories and saying that he preferred to let his good deeds and his songs speak for him.
And from the time of his arrival, the nattive of Gary, Ind., was welcomed like a ruling dignitary and a long-lost son. He had come to the land of his ancestors to participate in a historic ceremony conducted beneath a sacred tree in the gold-mining village of Krindjabo, populated by the Agni tribe and located near Abidjan, Ivory Coast.
Here in the land that he personally described as the "land of his ancestors", as the village people stood in admiration, Amon N' Djaolk, the traditional tribal chief of Krindjabo, placed a crown of gold upon the head of the musical monarch and pronounced him "King of Sani" in a ceremony conducted under a sacred tree in the gold-mining village of Krindjabo, heart of the Agni tribe near the capital Abidjan.
In fact, "King Michael" loved the honour so much that he kept a very close relationship with the tribe for the whole 18 years that he reigned over the tribe as their monarch, capping his celebrated life as a unique and unpredictable eccentric personality who was anything but fully understood, least of all predictable.
He then joined elders of the king's court, signed official documents and sat on a throne of gold as women dancers, clad in white gowns, gave a dazzling performance of ritual dances. These elderly women are the guardians of the village, and their ceremonial dances gave their blessings to the crowning of"King Sani" and asked God for protection at a tree that symbolized the essence of power.
The musical messenger, who journeyed to West and East African nations as a self-proclaimed ambassador of peace, love and goodwill, achieved a success that exceeded his expectation. From his sunset arrival in Gabon, where more than 100,000 people greeted him with spiritual bedlam, to his stop in Cairo, Egypt, to which he had paid homage on his newest album, Dangerous, with the best-selling single and music video Remember The Time, Michael was caught up in a hurricane of happy happenings.
I don't think this has happened to any other celebrity. I'm so proud of him, and so porud to be his fan. YOU GO MICHAEL!! That's what I call a role model for my black people. I'm tired of all the ignorance I see in some of my black people.
