MRS NWADI ELOBUIKE: CELEBRATING A MOTHER FIGURE ON HER NEW AGE

 

                     Mrs Nwadi Elobuike

It is with a deep sense of gratitude and joy that I want to celebrate a woman, whom we all have come to regard as a mother because she has consistently shown that she is one.


To many, Mrs Nwadi Elobuike, the General Manager, Nigeria Television Authority (NTA), Aba, Abia State, is a boss but to me she has come to be someone I hold in high regard because of her disposition, charm, charisma and grace. A woman so beautiful inwards as she is outward.


Since joining the staff of the NTA about two years ago, I have enjoyed the motherly and endearing care of Mrs Elobuike. Despite all the stories that were told of my person to assassinate my character before her, she has maintained that she does not believe in hear-says but on interaction and observation of a person’s character.

Ma, I have lost count of the times you have been of help to me and all your staff without the slightest air of being the boss. Do I talk about how she takes her time to guide one to do the right thing? A disciplinarian and always business-like; Mrs Elobuike is firm yet gentle in getting people to work and leading the way herself; a role model to all. She inspires us on the benefits of hard work, integrity and diligence.


As a Christian, Mrs Elobuike daily lives out the character of the Biblical virtuous woman, truly portraying the teachings of the Gospel. She has helped and continues to help those in need with her resources and never rolls the drums to announce it.


Your birthday may have been many days gone (January 23), but I realise that celebrating people who matter to one is not time-bound. In celebration of your birthday and always, I pray for the choicest of God’s blessing upon you, Ma. May His countenance continually shine on you and may His love, peace, unending joy and favour be your portion.

In your sojourn on earth, may you be lifted where others fail. May the good seeds you have sown in others speak for you for generations to come. May you have many reasons to celebrate God’s faithfulness. May you never have better yester years. May God fill your heart with joy, your face with smiles and your mouth with laughter all the days of your life.


Happy birthday, Ma.
