Ndukwu, the Archdeacon,, and wife, Mrs. G. C. Ndukwu, later snowballed to many entertainment display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Coincidentally, one of the faithful, Chief Madam Alice Durunwanta was taken unawares by her children, grandchildren and relatives, to mark her birthday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n She was astonished to see her grand children from Abuja and Owerri on a Sunday morning hoping it was only to celebrate with her on mothering Sunday festival. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The only thing she knew was that she was going for mother’s day service, Trumpeta<\/em> reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While inside the church dancing and celebrating like every other women over their “mothering Sunday” party, she was shocked with a birthday fiesta. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lo and behold, a giant cake was brought before her while she had already been decorated in front of the congregation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Uninformed of her birthday date due to age, Mama Alice was shocked when she was told that it was her birthday, and that her son, Amaechi Duru (D.A.D ) popularly known as “Ama Eziama” had staged a celebration in respect to her 93rd birthday anniversary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The show of love forced the nonagenarian to shed tears of joy, especially when an artwork portrait of her was presented to her and the giant birthday cake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The presiding Priest, Ven. Ndukwu and the Christ’s faithful prayed for more good health, longevity and joy on Mama Alice, as they sang birthday song for her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n They extended the fellowship to her children, especially Mr. Amaechi for remembering his mother in such a commendable way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n They were charged to keep making her happy no matter the circumstances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In his response, Mr. Duru who was unavoidably absent, but represented by mama’s younger sister, Mrs. Silver Nwanta thanked the Priest and his wife for the spiritual growth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Their efforts were also acknowledged for helping in staging the surprise birthday bash for their mother. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In a related development, Mr Duru pledged to remain committed in the things of God and never to depart from doing them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n He therefore donated some reasonable amount of money for the church projects and upkeep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Similarly, “Ama Eziama” showered love on two women inside the church with twenty thousand naira each, as a support to their respective businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The birthday party was later relocated to mama’s residence, after the church service ended, where she met more goodies and surprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Friends and well wishers besieged the house to celebrate with mama Alice for graciously clocking ninety-three years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Onyekachi Eze Christian Mothers under the Church of God, Anglican Communion, last Sunday, March<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":31791,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31789","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-03-18-at-11.36.29-1.jpeg",525,345,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-03-18-at-11.36.29-1-150x150.jpeg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-03-18-at-11.36.29-1-300x197.jpeg",300,197,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-03-18-at-11.36.29-1.jpeg",525,345,false],"large":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-03-18-at-11.36.29-1.jpeg",525,345,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-03-18-at-11.36.29-1.jpeg",525,345,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-03-18-at-11.36.29-1.jpeg",525,345,false],"elegant-magazine-featured":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-03-18-at-11.36.29-1.jpeg",525,345,false],"elegant-magazine-medium":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-03-18-at-11.36.29-1.jpeg",525,345,false],"elegant-magazine-medium-small":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-03-18-at-11.36.29-1.jpeg",300,197,false],"elegant-magazine-thumbnail-small":["https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-03-18-at-11.36.29-1.jpeg",50,33,false]},"author_info":{"info":["Imo Trumpeta"]},"category_info":"News<\/a>","tag_info":"News","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31789","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=31789"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31789\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31792,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31789\/revisions\/31792"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/31791"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=31789"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=31789"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.imotrumpeta.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=31789"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
