We were fortunate to have two mothers in our lives. When @obyezeks was exiled from Nigeria during Abacha’s regime, our grandma played the role of a mother to us. We’re eternally grateful for their influence in our lives.
Love you Gran. Love you mom. Happy Mother’s Day. ❤️❤️ pic.twitter.com/OMu1MKotxV

I wanted to share this poem I wrote about my mum which I read at her funeral. If you still have your mum….tell her you love her, and if you have lost your mum, still tell her you love her, but be kind to yourself today ❤️ #MothersDay2021 pic.twitter.com/qD6ukIc6Go

My Mother, my light, and the strongest person I know. She gave everything so her children could be who they wanted to be. As we say: “May the branches do, what the trunk could not”. I owe her Everything. Thank you Siobhán Cassidy – I would be nothing without you. #MothersDay2021 pic.twitter.com/HI2bJwuquC
