King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV,

King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, 18, who was crowned as head of the Kingdom of Toro in a traditional ceremony in his hilltop palace overlooking his capital of Fort Portal sits on his throne on April 17, 2010. The young king had officially succeeded to the throne at the age of three when his father died of a heart attack in 1995, but coronation takes place only upon reaching adulthood. Despite Oyo�s apparent ambivalence regarding his official duties and the anachronism of a Jay-Z loving, Arsenal-supporting 18-year-old-king banging drums and blessing spears, no one interviewed on Saturday dismissed the importance of his job, or the role of his kingdom in modern Uganda.
