Akubueze is an Igbo name
that means Wealth is King,
I grew up to learn that is my name
My mother told me
Akubueze

People call me Akubueze
and it sounds so nice to me
because it was one of the best parts of my heritage
and it influences my decisions and actions.

I'm working towards becoming a Lawyer
because I am Akubueze
I work to get money because of Akubueze

I worked hard in School because of Akubueze
Akubueze believe in youth
Akubueze believe in nature
Akubueze believe that the world is not enough

In Aku we find Eze
In Eze we reveal respect
In this work of humanity with which I am blessed

Hope lives and the people live
Whatever the conviction
Whatever you do
Whatever you believe
Believe in Akubueze!
