The newly-baptized Orthodox King David, His Majesty
King Tchiffi Zae Jean-Gervais of the Krou chieftains in Côte d’Ivoire, the
founder of the United Kingdoms of Africa, has long been a servant to his and
all African people, dedicating his life toward serving the common interest of
the people of Africa.
King Tchiffi Zae Jean Gervais recently traveled to
holy Mount Athos to join the holy Orthodox Church, taking the name David in
holy Baptism, as previously reported.
According to information from the Metochion of St.
Tryphon, a dependency of the Athonite Monastery of Koutloumousiou, where the
king was baptized, the Baptism was celebrated with the blessing of the abbot of
the monastery by Fr. Chrysostom (not Hieromonk Dionysius, as previously
reported) with Archimandrite Daniel becoming his Godfather and spiritual
father.
In 2008, The Forum of Kings, Sultans, Sheiks and
Traditional Leaders of Africa was formed, during which His Majesty was
democratically elected by 535 Kings, Sultans, Sheiks and Traditional Leaders as
the Secretary Permanent of the Forum. The Forum was formed to establish a body
through which the Royalties in Africa can have one voice that will be respected
by the African Union, individual Presidential Offices in Africa, and also the
United Nations.
In 2015, His Majesty responded to a call from God and
founded the United Kingdoms of Africa to function as a non-political, social
development advocacy platform which acts as a unified voice for civil society
and functions in support of presidency and national government, institutions,
and peoples to support the national development plans of African countries.
Under his guidance, The United Kingdoms of Africa
works tirelessly towards the implementation of their ten founding pledges,
which are the following:
1. Promote traditional leadership development,
2. Promote peace and stability,
3. Promote access to basic healthcare,
4. Promote food and water security,
5. Promote investment climate support,
6. Promote basic education, youth development and
skills transfer via technology,
7. Promote gender equality,
8. Promote inclusive exploration of mineral and
natural resources,
9. Promote the creation of a technology-based
communication platform between stakeholders and the communities,
10. Promote the preservation of tradition, culture,
and heritage.
May God grant His Majesty King Tchiffi Zae
Jean-Gervais, David in Baptism, many years!
