It was a celebration like never before on Friday, 13th December, 2024 as eminent Nigerians gathered at the ancient town of Oginibo in Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State Nigeria to celebrate the life and times of madam Victoria Oghenerume Kojo.
Late madam be Kojo who was born about 80 years ago, was a fulfilled business woman during her life time. Although, she wasn’t privileged to have a formal education, but ensured that her children have the best of education aside bringing them up in a Godly manner.
The first son of mama, Dr. Henry Kojo, the Chief Executive Officer of Qualiserve Tech International was filled with joy seeing old and new friends come together to give his mother a befitting burial.
In his words, “my mum was a beacon of hope and source of encouragement to her peers, she didn’t get herself worried about issues as she usually attributed all her achievements to God with this saying, “Na God Dey Do Am” which eventually became her second language.
Mama’s other children, Ms Abu and Mrs Felicia Okhakhume remarked, “our mother was one in millions and she is going to be sorely missed, but we take solace in God that we are going to see her again on the resurrection day”.
Family members were full of eulogies for mama saying her good works will outlive her.
“She was always ready to help everyone. Mama was humble and a mother indeed. She didn’t discriminate, her house was like a second home to most of us. Full of smiles and always had solutions to problems, and ever willing to give.
People from all works of life, within and outside the country came in their large number to honour their own, Dr Henry Kojo as he gave a befitting burial to his dear mother.
Traditional dancers from South East were on ground to add colour to the event
The climax of the event was when in-laws converged to pay a thank you visit to the deceased family.
