As Omowunmi, the widow of the late singer Mohbad, prepares to mark her birthday in a few days, she has made a heartfelt plea to Nigerians.
On her Instagram story, she implored Nigerians to honor her late husband on her birthday instead of herself. This marks the first time in many years that she will be celebrating her birthday without him.
Describing Mohbad as not just her husband but also her best friend, confidant, and more, Omowunmi revealed that the greatest birthday gift he gave her before his passing was their son, Liam.
With humility, she asked Mohbad’s fans to commemorate the life he lived and to pray for his spirit.
“This is the first time in many years that I’ll be celebrating my birthday without my husband promise! He was not just my husband, but also my best friend, confidant, gist partner and more. Today, all I want for my birthday is for his fans across the world to celebrate the life he lived.
I beg you all to say a prayer for the spirit of Ileriouluwa! Whether you choose to pray silently in your heart or post his picture on your profile. I ask that you sincerely pray for the soul of Ileriouluwa.
Let this day be dedicated to him, rather than to me. Because he has given me the best birthday gift before he was snatched from me! He gave me the gift of himself through our son, Liam. A child that I will love and cherish till the end of time.”
Omowunmi’s poignant request reflects the enduring love and loss she feels for her late husband, as well as her desire to honor his memory on her special day.
Please celebrate Mohbad”.
