The Amazon, Mrs Obi who has been known for her impactful administration at ISLGA which has touched so many lives including youths, girl children, boy children, widows, women and entire umu Idemili said that the best way to celebrate life was by sharing whatever the grace of God brought your way with the less privileged, abandoned, forgotten ones and downtrodden.
“It is my usual way of celebrating birthday, any achievement, or new attainment in life. We are all enjoying privileges by the grace of God, we were not created better than those people abandoned and less privileged today.
“Instead of throwing a lavish party inviting fellow politicians, the rich and mighty, it is better I share something no matter how small from the much that God blessed me with, celebrating with the orphans in this nearby orphanage. I don’t need it publicized,it is between and my God,” said Mrs Obi.
She further appreciated God Almighty the giver of life, all and sundry both within and outside ISLGA which called on phone and visited her office with gifts to felicitate with her especially the leadership of Oba community NYSC corp members who presented the sixth birthday cake for the day at the Secretariat,Ojoto.
