The traditional ruler of Egwu Achi Community in the Oji River local government area of Enugu state, Igwe Victor Ezekwesili Meniru says putting value to his queen amounts to a disservice because she is a woman above value.
The royal father made the remarks when he celebrated the birthday of his wife, Ugoeze Frances Ngozi Meniru in Abuja.
The story of the celebration of the birthday of Lolo Ugoeze Frances Meniru is best told from the high point of the ceremony, the cutting of the birthday cake.
It was a testament to how closely knit the royal family of Igwe Meniru is and the level of friendship the family enjoys.
The family and friends who cut the cake with the celebrant were the outer display of the home Ugoeze Meniru has built in her husband’s family.
The traditional ruler himself says his queen surpasses the most precious jewel as a wife, mother and companion.
The joy of the evening in the Wuye district, Abuja, mansion of the Meniru royal family was infectious.
The guests, family and friends said the queen deserves all the celebration because she is worth a million pounds in weight of gold.
For the celebrant Lolo Frances Ngozi Meniru, it was a day to thank God for the fortune of an appreciative husband, family, well-wishers and associates.
Above all, the joy of being appreciated in good health is good reason to want to live longer.
Present at the birthday party were top government officials, politicians, members of the business community and icons of the entertainment industry.
