Mom was a superstar!

Today is 11 years of Mom's home going. We remember her fondly. She was very gentle. She handled life and emotions well. She forgave easily. She was humble. As I get older, I have come to appreciate that it takes obedience to God, discipline and self control to be that way. It doesn't just happen on its own. It is submission to the workings and grace of God. May God bless her memory. We do not doubt that she is with the Lord. God is good!

Ten years ago to the day, on Monday, the 17th of August 2009, my Mother was brought to our home in Yaba. She could not walk. Her first words, were “If only I had come earlier.” She had suffered a stroke. The Friday before, she had gone for her monthly medical check-up at a specialist hospital. She had complained of a head-ache, and they decided to treat for malaria. They did not detect the ruptured aneurysm in her brain, which turned out to be fatal. We took her into the downstairs visitors room, where she lay down. She couldn’t move one side of her body. This incredible woman remained cheerful as she sang songs of praise to God in her beautiful high-pitched voice even in this condition as she forced one hand to manipulate the paralysed one, up and down, willing life to return to the paralysed half of her body. We watched her as she sang merrily, while we made efforts to evacuate her to the hospital. About six years before, she had gone to South Africa for knee-transplant surgery. The surgery on both knees had been successful but on the night of the surgery, she had suffered a stroke, which like the current one, left one half of her body paralysed. When the medical personnel were comforting her and making strenuous efforts to treat her, she had cheerfully told them that they should not worry, that by morning, Jesus would have healed her. This is exactly what happened, to the amazement of all. By the morning, there was absolutely no trace of the stroke or paralysis. Funmi, my sister in law along with her son, Jemie accompanied her to South Africa. They can bear witness to this miracle. So, this time again, we believed she along with her tested and trusted Jesus would defeat the stroke. My in-law, who is a medical doctor came along and examined her. He confirmed the stroke and an ambulance was sent for. She could overhear us speaking, and must have heard his response on her chances of full recovery. She may also have heard him say that another stroke could be fatal. My Mother was tired. She had six months before turned 80. She had fought so many battles especially over her husband, my Father and we, the children. The last being the multiple organ failure my Father suffered the month before. She had stood and willed him back to life. I have never seen anyone pray the way she did for him. I have never before seen such faith. She willed him back to life. She was indeed exhausted. She had spent her life fighting for us.....in the spirit and in the physical. She smiled again as I hurried away to confer with my friend and brother, Dr. Ebun Bamgboye, Medical Director of Saint Nicholas Hospital. In my short absence, she shut her eyes in the arms of my wife, Alero and my sister, Chima and allowed a second stroke, which killed her....She was smiling. She was done. She had run the good race. Like Paul, what lay ahead was a crown of honour. We remember her today fondly. She was a Christian soldier. A General in the Lord’s army. The song “Onward Christian Soldier” has never been so real and apt.

Your memory is evergreen in our hearts. We will do all we promised in Jesus’ name. To God be all the glory !

My every remembrance of Momsie is joyful. Now I appreciate that song Sweet Mother, I no go forget you....From the scriptures, I have a clear understanding that Mom has run her race and gone ahead into the next phase of Eternity. For those of us here, while we still have the luxury of time, may we all really and truly discover the purpose for which we are on earth and run our race well too!

Today my Mum would have been 94. She passed on at 80. She was special. The real Special One. She loved God and she loved all. She loved so completely and totally. Completely unforgettable. Her face is my permanent profile photo. She gave her all for her family: her husband (my father) and us. Especially me. It is near impossible to have a Mother like mine and remain under performing or below par. Her words drive us. Her memory propels me. Her smile was divine. Nobody ever had a better Mum. From Lagos before the war, to Biafra (Umuahia, Port-Harcourt, Item and even behind Enemy lines as we ran for our lives), Enugu, back to Lagos. She stood like a colossus, willing us on - Primary school, secondary school, university. All the challenges of life….guiding us and loving us through….Praying us through. Adulthood, marriage and children. She never gave up on us. Then one day, She left. Her work was done. A crown of honour awaited her in Heaven where she was welcomed by her Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, with the words, ‘Well done good and faithful servant, enter into your rest.’ It is well !!!!

She would have been 94 years old today. Dear, dear Mums! The bravest of the brave! The most doughty fighter that you could ever have on your side! Once she promised to help you, you could go to sleep. She wouldn't waver and would remain firm to the end. Regardless of circumstances. She was loyal and steadfast but she wasn't gullible. If your cause was wrong or if you were trying to bully or take advantage of someone else, she wouldn't support you. She would tell you directly that you were wrong! She had the capacity to be blunt and honest. It didn't matter whose ox was gored. She also loved truthfulness. She taught me to tell the truth even when I was being mischievous. She wouldn't compromise on honesty. However, most of all, she loved beauty. She was a beautiful woman who had a beautiful mind. Her favourite Scripture was Philippians 4:8, "whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honourable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them]" Bless you Mums. Enjoy your birthday in heaven.

Momsie would be 92 years old today!!! She died after her 80th Birthday.
Thank God always for my beloved Mother. I know she's in Christ!
So selfless, calm and very prayerful.
Mom taught bible knowledge in a way that brought many of her students into a relationship with God. 
She was a Bible study leader in Hoares memorial methodist church Yaba and the friendship bible coffees fellowship. She was also a life member of the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International.
I remember how she would come to the girls room and stay till very late just enjoying our gist once we all gave our life's to Jesus.
She had recently re-dedicated her life to Jesus and travelled to Tulsa Oklahoma for Kenneth Hagin's camp meeting with Oriaku in 1985.
Momsie sang like an angel. Everyone can testify. I have no doubt that she and Dad are part of the  Heavenly Choir.
She memorized hymns and sang all the verses most times by heart ❤️
Join me remember Momsie, Mrs Annie Imo with gratitude for a life very well spent to the Glory of God.
Praise the Lord Somebody!!!!
