- Today, a professor. Tomorrow, His Royal Highness. Joseph
- Edozien, 65, a faculty member of the University of North
- Carolina, is to be crowned King of Asaba, a region of a million
- people in his native Nigeria. He was chosen to succeed his late
- uncle, he said last week, because "I've been exposed to other
- cultures. The tribal councils wanted somebody with fresh ideas.
- I can do a lot to change the lives of many people." In his few
- weeks left in the U.S., his home for 23 years, Edozien will be
- packing prized possessions: tapes by Michael Jackson, Lionel
- Richie and Herbie Hancock.
