Mum @70
So today happens to be
my mum’s birthday and I thought to write something about her :)
On the 23rd
of September 70 years ago, a baby girl was born to a Nigerian - Cameroonian couple.
I would say, she was an independent strong child, brought up in a Christian
home where she developed her love for God, people and interestingly, books and archives.
Just to have a scan through
her educational background, she started high school at St Margaret College, Ilesha,
obtained a Bachelor’s Degree, Library Science, B. Sc. (Hons) from the Texas
Women’s University, Denton, Texas and moved on to the admired University of
Ibadan, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria where she obtained a master’s degree in Library
Science.
Her passion for library
matters (books and archives)
led to her being all of this and more: library assistant para-professional at
the Ibadan University Library, Senior Library Assistant, Para-professional Assistant in the Library Department, College of Science and Technology, Librarian (1) Head of serials section, Senior Librarian, Principal Librarian, Deputy University Librarian, Rivers State University of Science and Technology and
though retired, she still works as Librarian (contract staff) at the University.
Her love for God has also reflected in the way she raised her children to know and submit to God, how she
remains a constant support to her hubby, children and all around her, how she constantly
works in love, forgiveness, and care. Amongst the many hats she wears; carrying
out pastoral duties as a matter of passion and duty, she
currently is Pastor in Charge of Zone in the Redeemed Christian Church of God
(RCCG) PH.
Today as you turn 70,
we celebrate you and declare this to you that ‘through wisdom your days will be many, and years will be added to your
life’. (Proverbs 9:11).
Happy Birthday mum and
have a wonderful year ahead.
