 Women have been advised to hold onto God in whatever they do and never deviate from His ways as He's capable of taking over their many burdens. This was advised, was handed down by Grace Odubodi during the occasion of her 80th birthday celebration in Lagos. Plus, TV correspondent Lavi Cocoyedokun was there and now reports. Clocking 80 is no main fate. It's something worth celebrating. No wonder the family, friends and well-wishers of Grace Odubodi over the weekend gather together to celebrate and rejoice with the octogenarian. From far and near, they traveled to Grace's occasion. The mode was exquisite with beautiful sparkling glitter floral drenched in purple hues as a live band entertained guests. The children believe celebrating a woman who had endured a lot to ensure that they get a good education is the least they can do. This woman did at the last Kandawa 20 odd jobs to train all of us, all nine of us, to go through the university as graduates. Odd jobs. I mean, it's absolutely impossible for us not to appreciate that. Because those, you know, we all, in high school at the time, it was very difficult. And she demonstrated through her entrepreneurship, through her diligence, through her commitment, through her dedication that it can be done. So our life is not just an inspiration or motivation for us. It's actually for the foundation of everything that we also became later in life can be found in her. So today's payback time is basically for us to thank God for sparing our life. And secondly, to say thanks to her for all she has done for us. She's a very enterprising mother. There's no doubt about the fact that she loves her children. And I tell you that she's done a very good job bringing up eight great men. These are responsible, enterprising, hard-working men. Mommy's got fairing. She's a praying mother. For friends and close associates, Grace Olubode is simply an embodiment of God's love. Mama has been wonderful. She has always been for us. Even while we were young, before we entered the university, she was always there. When each time we went to her, she would always call us and advise us that, no, I know fully that, I know you will play for more than 40 years, more than 50 years. After the glory of God, we have every cause to celebrate Mama today. I should live longer. In 90, we celebrate another 90 years. And all of us should be alive to celebrate her. And it should be a point where people will let my life be like that of a mommy from yet to come. At 80, looking back, the celebrant is feeling fulfilled and simply grateful to God. There's nothing I can say that to thank God and advise so many women to be so... Just like her name. Just to depend on God. I'll be doing everything for you. Don't watch God. Go back to God. Just hold on to God. I will be your strength forever. The highlight of the occasion is the cutting of the cake by the celebrant flunged by her children. The children. The grand children.
