The celebration was heralded with a short prayer, which was followed by lavished live band that sent every attendee swinging his/her head to the rhythm of the music.
The sonorous sound by Cluster and Singalo Bands were enchantingly electric.
The ambience was exquisite befitting of a ceremony that speaks of a good, sweet mother who clocks 74 years old. Friends, neighbours filled Ambassador Jonathan Ojadah’s house on the 4th October, 2025. Both the very young and elderly graced the occasion to celebrate Mama Ojadah.
Fondly called Iya Oyinbo, Mrs Ojadah, is a well-known woman in the neighbourhood where she lives with his children. Her smiles was infectious, her relationship with both the young and old, knew no bound especially with the grand-children.
Mrs Ojadah, is the mother of Ambassador Jonathan Ojadah, Global President and Permanent Representative to the United Nations Peace and Governance Council (UNIPGC). No wonder the ceremony attracted the del la creme in the society.
The anchor of the programme, Tony Akposheri, a versatile, articulate and jovial known actor spiced the atmosphere with his jokes that added flavour to the occasion as guest were treated to lavish entertainment.
As the guests walked in majestically, adorning different attires, some in well-embroidered native dresses with beads, it was a perfect reflection of various ethnic identities that attended the 74 years birthday of Mrs Ojadah.
As she cut the cake surrounded by children, grandchildren with friends and well-wishers, all that Iya Oyinbo could say was: “Thank you Jesus for given me the opportunity to see today. For those that come to celebrate me, for my children that organized this birthday to celebrate me, May you live to see your old days in joy and peace.
Thereafter, it was all dancing galore into the night with lots of drinks and eating extravaganza.
