In a special sermon at the thanksgiving service, the guest preacher, Mrs. Mercyline Ojirika who quoted extensively from the Bible, extolled the good qualities of a Godly mother at home which include a help mate to the husband, she is faithful, submissive, tolerant patient and accommodating amongst others.
She urged Christian couples to help each other, love and comfort one another at all times and allow God to rule over their lives. She noted that Mothering Sunday is a special day set aside to honour and appreciated women and it is celebrate annually among Christians all over the world.
High point of the event was the presentation to the mother of the year 2019 award to Madam Sussana Kejeh II by the Archdeacon/Vicar of St. Lukes Anglican Church Emohua, Ven. Blessed N. Orji on behalf of the church.
Speaking shortly after the recognition and award ceremony, Madam Sussana Kejeh II expressed gratitude to God for chosen her among other women for the honour as she described the gesture as a divine honour to the glory of God.
She said. I see the award as a divine call for more dedication and selfless service to God and humanity. I enjoin other women in the church to work harder so as to be equally be recognised and rewarded”. According to her, the harvest is plenty, but the labourers are few.
In his vote of thanks, the eldest son of the awardee Prince Sampson Kejeh, thanked God for the honour and privilege. He assured that the Kejeh’s family would follow the good steps of the awardee in serving and worshipping God so as to sustain the good legacy set in both the church and society.
Other highlights of the event included blessing of marriage of six couples, singing and dancing, special thanksgiving by the women exchange of gifts and well wishes and other variety of shows.
R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
