As part of its celebration to mark the right of women in Nigeria and
across the world on a day tagged mother’s day globally, the Nigerian
women in clergy under the leadership of prophetess Nonnie Roberson has
again reached out to a forgotten victim of Boko Haram Bomb blast who
lost her only child in the first Nyanya bomb blast where several people
were killed.
Recall
that Madam Grace Omokoro Joe, a Widow, lost her only Son, Joel
Olukayode, a graduate of Federal University of Technology to the first
Nyanya bomb blast. Joel was to resume his first temporary job in Abuja
town the said day the incident happened.
At
the celebration that saw different clergy women converging at
Prophetess Roberson’s residence, the women presented different gift
items, including rappers, headgears, bags of rice and some cash to wipe
the victim’s tears on a day they believed she was to receive some gifts
from her late Son.
Speaking, Nonnie said, “it is imperative her tears are wiped on a day women all over the world are celebrating.”
She
said the humanitarian effort was a follow up on the group’s earlier
promise to remember the woman on events where her Son’s death can likely
re-awaken her pain.
Nonnie
said, “we have been trying to give her all necessary supports, and in
our last meeting where we gave her some gifts, we promised to always
remember her on days like this. We are a credible body that does not
make empty promises. Today, we have invited her to celebrate the
mother’s Sunday with
us. Some youths are part of us as you can see. Going forward, we may
have one of the youths from the youth wing of the Women in Clergy to
adopt her as a mother.”
Prophetess
Nonnie also called on Nigerians to contribute towards the revival of
the broken pieces of the bereaved woman, saying that accommodation was
one of her major challenges.
Responding,
Madam Grace Expressed gratitude to the women of God for their selfless
efforts towards her matter, stating that only God could repay the hands
that give. She said her joy was that her Son died as a good Christian,
believing that he is now resting with the Lord.
In
her closing remarks, Nonnie urged Nigerian women to collect their PVC,
and vote wisely for President Goodluck Jonathan who had all along been
gender sensitive. She advised the women to reject any leader who pushes
for the abolition of the First Lady’s office. Nonnie also advised
Nigerian youth to ” know their history as that will direct them on who
to vote for.
