For her birthday last year, the AMVCA honouree shared with jaw-dropping photos, stating that turning 82 doesn’t mean the end of anything, but the beginning of another year with a full eight decades of wisdom.
In another post, she made a new decision about life to start it anew. She refused to age, claiming that she was still young at heart, and added that she feels 45 and fabulous every day.
Following her birthday, the energetic actress shared a video of herself looking young and energetic on her Instagram page, accompanied by a letter to God. She was thankful for the grace, life and mercy that sustained her from birth through every trial and triumph. She acknowledged God’s unwavering presence, help, and strength during her weakness, as well as her faithfulness and protection.
To celebrate her achievement in Nollywood, Mama Rainbow was awarded a new title, ‘Mother of Artists’, at the 20224 AMVCA Night of Icons.
