The Bears’ Prince charming: Amukamara discusses his royal bloodline, religion and more

Prince Amukamara has always been treated like royalty.

Growing up with five sisters in Glendale, Arizona, Amukamara rarely had to lift a finger.

“My name is Prince, but I was really treated like a prince,” Amukamara said with a grin. “My sisters took care of me. And we all roughed each other up. They didn’t take it easy on me, even though I was the second-oldest. But we got along.”

It seems fitting he received the noble treatment given the fact Amukamara is actually a Nigerian prince.

Amukamara’s grandfather was the chief of Awo-Omamma, a city located in the southeastern Nigerian state of Imo.
