JOKE SOGUNRO’S MUM CELEBRATES 70

It was celebration galore in the home of the Sogunro sisters last weekend as the Matriarch of the famous family, Deaconess Adebisi Sarah Sogunro (nee Onitiri) attained the age of 70. The grand birthday celebration of Mama Sogunro began with a Holy Communion service in the morning and later culminated in a well-attended reception later in the day. Some of the children of the celebrant are Mrs Joke Sogunro-Umah, the CEO of Soggys Couture on Adeniran Ogunsanya, Surulere, Lagos and Abuja. Joke is a hardworking business woman and a front row member of Nigeria’s high society. Of course, she is highly successful in her business and well-connected. Others include Bola Sogunro, CEO, Honey Bee Caterers, Yeye Toyin Sogunro-Adeyeni, CEO, All-in-One Fashion Center, Kafila Sogunro (Yuppie), Anthonia Sogunro and others. Their friends turned up enmasse to honour Mama on her 70^th.

ABILITY IN DISABILITY

This woman caught my attention recently in Agege area of Lagos. Nursing a baby on all fours! Some folks on four-wheels drive will give anything to have a tot...different strokes....really. She holds her bag with her teeth. Necessity is the mother of invention.  But who is her husband and where is he? She obviously has no access to a wheel chair. Where are the Gender Activists?
