Wale Adebajo, the Senior Political Adviser, British High Commission, Lagos recently celebrated the 80th birthday of his mother, Madam Mosunmola Adebajo. Ahead of the ceremony, Madam Adebajo’s children and grandchildren gathered from different parts of the world in Nigeria to have a family photo-shoot. They were all dressed in customised white T-shirts atop blue jean trousers. Inscribed on the T-shirt was ‘1943 Vintage’ which signified the year the celebrant was born.
Marking the octogenarian’s birthday in grand style, a grand reception was held to host family, friends and guests last week. One of the highlights of the evening was the performance of a traditional praise singer who came to chant the celebrant’s praises to high heaven.
Due to naira scarcity, specially designed money which had a picture of the celebrant were given to guests. Those who sprayed the celebrant would later transfer their desired amount to Madam Adebajo’s account. The wonderfully decorated four tier cake was a sight to beyond while the celebrant cut it. Tributes poured in for the Octogenarian who has impacted so many lives. Her children also sang her praises for the selfless sacrifices she made before they could attain greatness in life.
