Mrs Helen Akpotupeikumo

Life is in phases and Mama walked through every phase with her head high above her equals.

Contentment, satisfaction and fulfilment in life is not attained  only by material possession and academic excellence but but by accepting Jesus as Lord and personal Saviour .Mama gave her life to Christ and worshipped in the congratulation of brethren till her legs couldn’t carry her.

A woman who cooked her food,washed her clothes and ate from our labour till her last day on earth.Her cleanliness is next to nothing,she is clean herself. I saw

Mama make her grandchildren her own children with utmost love and concern.A woman l admire so much and pray to be like her strong,disciplined industrious clean and forthright,.Mama tank you for supporting your daughter all through, you showed you love her by dying peacefully without any hassles. We shall meet at the pearly gates by his grace.Adieu Mama

Matriarch Daunemigha Mary Aeroplane was my dad’s parternal first cousin, daughter of Youlade, younger brother to Dulagha my dad Dickson Ebegha’s father. The mummy with the sweet subtle smiles I admired so much and one of my dad’s closest relatives I knew growing up back then, in our family house at No 26 Abukuru Street Ajegunle Apapa Lagos. Owned by her elder brother Pa James Eko Youlade. A very fashionable woman.  Got very close to my mom Eyeareyinburugha and she was also her youger sister Owougbaine’s friend. I call these women. Hollandaise wax women. They had them. Will always remember this about them. For any outing they wore the same hollandaise wax. ( Butterfly, Biscuit, ABC etc ) I called your daughter Rowena to speak with you as if I knew some weeks earlier before it happened but was told you were busy in the kitchen. Thank God for longevity. You came, you saw and you conquered! We love you mummy but God loves you most. Rest on in the Bossom of your creator. Adieu!!!!!!!
